Journeyman Electricians are electricians who have acquired the training and experience necessary to work independently, but who have not attained licensure as master electricians. Journeyman electricians may work with electrical wires, fixtures and control systems in commercial, industrial and residential buildings, but typically do not design the initial electrical system for a building, which is usually done by a master electrician.
Master Electricians are certified to supervise other electricians, own a private business or work as a licensed contractor. Master Electricians are responsible for the advanced work involving interpreting construction blueprints and diagrams, using software for project management, following and enforcing Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines, and driving forklifts and other large machines. Master Electricians are often in charge of the installation and maintenance of electrical systems in homes, businesses and institutions. Their duties include wiring, replacing breakers, designing electrical plans for a new home, installing lighting fixtures and servicing electrical appliances.
