What to know about Electrical engineers
There are two quite different electrical professions in Australia and people hire the wrong one constantly. An electrical engineer designs systems: load calculations, switchboard and distribution design, protection coordination, power quality studies, lighting and emergency lighting design, and the certification that a design meets the applicable standards. An electrician installs, alters and tests the physical wiring, and holds a trade licence that authorises exactly that.
