What does an assembly electrician do?
Assembly electricians work with electricians with a Federal VET Diploma to ensure the correct installation of the in-house electrical cable network, necessary devices, systems and connections for individual energy consumers.
These include, for example, the lighting, stove, boiler, washing machine, tumble dryer, doorbell and intercom system. Their main tasks lie in apartment construction. They lay protective tubing for electrical cables once a shell construction has been established. During the later building stages, they install the electrical cables and systems whose respective parts they have prepared for assembly in the workshop beforehand.
