Electrotechnology assemblers apply electrical knowledge to
make, fit or repair electrical machines, instruments or
appliances.
Electrotechnology assemblers may perform the following
tasks:
- install electrical and electronic control systems
- assemble electrical and electronic components and
appliances
- connect electrical equipment to power supplies
- maintain automated production processes.
Electrotechnology assemblers may decide what parts and
materials are needed for the job; make, alter and assemble
metal parts; select and cut wires or cables; connect wires or
cables to terminals or connectors according to wiring
diagrams; operate and maintain machine tools such as lathes,
drilling machines, welding and heating equipment, and hoists.
Electrotechnology assemblers may specialise as switchboard

motors and generators, or electrical instrument fitters who
test, repair and maintain electrical measuring equipment used

private homes or in manufacturers' factories. They may have a
considerable amount of contact with the public. They may work
in confined spaces and have to stand for long periods. They
may also be required to work at heights on masts, towers and
roofs.
Electrotechnology assemblers must be aware of safety
regulations and must often wear and use supplied protective
equipment to minimise associated risks.
