Repair electricians definitely run into the work of install electricians, but my experience is they're mostly two different groups. Install electricians may come back to do repairs on their own work, or if there's a lull in new construction jobs they can pick up they might fill in the hours with some smaller repair jobs.
There are some some more specialized electricians that do a mix of both, for example my company is mostly generator focused. We're involved in both new construction and repairs for things that are generator/transfer switch/solar related.
That’s really cool! When you do repair work for a generator I assume you’re not just going to replace the generator, so I guess you have to get in there and do component level repairs? That seems really cool. I would imagine some of the technicians would have the skills of both a mechanic and an electrician for some of those jobs?
Right, I'm fully licensed as an electrician but I also have to repair/maintain natural gas/propane/diesel engines. There's also increasing amounts of computer/network knowledge needed for new controllers and setting up network monitoring. Overall it's a job that really benefits from a lot of different skill sets, and has a lot of day to day variety in the work I'm doing.
