electrical engineer
Electrical engineers design and develop electrical systems, electrical equipment, components, motors, and equipment with the feature of energy transmission. They engage in large scale projects such as the design and maintenance of power stations, and the distribution of power to smaller applications such as household appliances.
Also called: electrical engineering practitioner, electrical systems engineer, electrical engineering adviser, electrical equipment engineer, electrical engineering consultant, electrical technology engineering expert, electrical technology engineer, mine electrification electrical engineer
