Electricians Do Not Work for Themselves
An electrician is a licensed tradesperson who can complete electrical services to the relevant Australian Standards… with one major exception. It’s not legal for electricians to work for themselves. Or invoice customers, for that matter. Any electrician who works on their own behalf would face serious penalties.
Obviously, an electrician’s work involves lethal voltages. Therefore, it’s a requirement that they record a specified number of hours working in the field and maintain their education to make sure their knowledge and skills are up to date and that they are familiar with the relevant processes.
Qualified Electrical Contractors
An electrical contractor such as Jaws Contracting in Alice Springs, on the other hand, is, qualified and legally able to work for themselves. They can also have other people work for them, including electricians.
It takes further training and qualifications to acquire an electrical contractor’s licence in addition to longer work experience and examinations prior to licensing. A full background check is also required in order to keep standards high and not allow licenses to be acquired by dishonourable persons. An electrical contractor would also participate in apprenticeship programs.
Once they are licensed, an electrical contractor will be able to show certificates and cards for the benefit of companies and individuals who are looking to hire them. ALWAYS ENSURE YOU ASK FOR THESE BEFORE HIRING AN ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR!
Importantly, the certificate features the electrical contractor’s licence number and business name. These can be checked on the state’s official website. Active licences are renewed every year and the licensee is required to show that, by undergoing continuous education in the related field, they have kept up to date with latest developments and innovations.
When you hire an electrical contractor, your job might involve the individual or an electrician who works for them. Either way, by choosing Jaws, you’ll be getting someone who’s qualified and licensed to complete the work.
