other industrial applications.
Electrical engineers may perform the following tasks:
- plan and design power stations and equipment for
generators
- supervise construction plans and specifications and draw
up contracts
- supervise operating and maintenance staff
- design and produce drawings of electrical systems, using
computer-assisted design (CAD)
- decide on the type and arrangement of circuits,
transformers, circuit-breakers, transmission lines, and
equipment, based on calculations
- make or improve products such as electric motors, parts,
equipment and appliances
- prepare and interpret specifications, drawings and
regulations for the use of electric power equipment
- work out delivery and installation schedules for
machines, switchgear, cables and fittings
- organise and manage staff and materials in the making of
electrical parts, machines, appliances and equipment
- make sure that completed works meet specifications and
safety standards
- design and install control and signalling devices for
road, rail and air traffic
- design telecommunications equipment and networks
- contribute and adhere to the safety requirements of the
operation.
Electrical engineers may specialise as electrical
maintenance engineers, electrical power engineers, electrical
design engineers, communications engineers or computer
engineers, or in areas such as the design and operation of
power plants, generators, metal refining, rolling mills,
motors and transformers, and researching new applications of
technology, or production machinery.
Electrical engineers work with senior administrators, civil
and mechanical engineers, computer scientists and various
workers in the business, building and construction industries.
They advise employers, associates or clients and consult with
scientists, industrial designers and architects.
Electrical engineers may specialise as a
Telecommunications Engineer who is involved in the
