Job Description
This apprenticeship leads to the Limited Journeyman Manufacturing Plant Electrician license. Manufacturing plant electricians provide basic electrical maintenance on existing equipment in factories and industrial manufacturing facilities. They also install and wire electric motors and machinery of all sizes, and perform preventive maintenance on production and facilities equipment, initiate and modify electrical designs, and update electrical drawings.
Working Conditions
The work is done primarily indoors, but often requires climbing, working on ladders, and operating mechanical lifts. Hazards include electrical shocks and burns.
Wages
Beginning apprentices start at approximately 50 to 70 percent of the journey-level wage. Upon successful completion of required class work and on-the-job hours, wages increase about every six months, until journey-level rate is achieved.
Length of Apprenticeship
The apprenticeship lasts about four to five years. Apprentices must complete a minimum of 120 to 200 related classroom hours per year and 8,000 to 10,000 on-the-job training hours. Journey-level manufacturing plant electricians are required to get a state license by taking an exam from the Oregon Building Codes Division.
Minimum Qualifications
Apprenticeship applicants must be at least 18 years of age. In addition, they must provide proof of high school graduation or general education development (GED) equivalent, and complete at least one year of high school algebra or the equivalent post high school algebra course with a passing grade of ´C´. Local apprenticeship committees may require additional qualifications.
These programs are only open to employees of training agents already registered with the local apprenticeship committees. Requirements vary among programs.
