Electrician Work History Checklist
Organize each job by employer, site, electrical system, equipment and maintenance task.
Build the history one detail at a time
Workplace
Record employer, project and approximate years.
- Plant or building
- Department or area
- Contractors and coworkers
Electrical tasks
List what you installed or maintained.
- Switchgear and controls
- Motors and equipment
- Wire, cable and insulation work
For electricians, location and nearby work can matter
Electrical work can take a person through many areas of a facility. Record not only electrical products but also where conduit was run, where panels and motors were serviced, and which trades were working nearby.
Tasks
Conduit installation, cable work, panel and switchgear work, motor repair, fixture work and maintenance shutdowns can help reconstruct where an electrician spent time.
Work areas
Boiler rooms, turbine areas, mechanical spaces, schools, hospitals, industrial plants and shipyards may each present different historical questions.
Records
Union records, blueprints, specifications, maintenance logs, project files and coworker interviews may corroborate assignments and time periods.
