important the project is). Larger companies have union electricians overseen
by a large engineering support staff that checks everything from the main
power all the way to the contactor the cables are going into.

Tony,
An electrician would be an officially trained skilled trades person that
works on electrical equipment. Building maintenance people may be
skilled trades, or some Joe Schmoe handy man type..... depends on the
company or organization doing the hiring.
