THE HUMAN ISSUE
THE IDENTIKIT ELECTRICIAN
ASIDE FROM THE TECHNICAL ATTRIBUTES , JUST WHAT ARE THE ATTRIBUTES THAT SEPARATE THE GOOD FROM THE GREAT ?
A VERY COOL HEAD
There ’ s a lot of pressure being an electrician – it ’ s life and death every single day . One mistake , and it ’ s goodnight Vienna . That ’ s where a cool , calm and collected head is extremely valuable .
TOP-NOTCH BUSINESS ACUMEN
As well as the technical know-how , a great electrical contractor has stellar business acumen too . Books need balancing , contracts need to be won , staff need to be paid … it ’ s a fine balancing act .
A STRONG STOMACH
Crawling through small dusty spaces , roof cavities , eaves and under floorboards is all part and parcel of the gig , but geez it can be rough going sometimes . From dirt and grime to dead ( at best ) rodents and their crap , it can be a blessed relief to breathe in fresh air again .
