What does a Level 2 electrician do?
Level 2 electricians hold advanced qualifications that allow them to carry out specialised electrical work beyond standard domestic installations. This includes working on electrical connections between the street supply and a customer’s home or business.
They undergo additional training and accreditation, enabling them to safely install, maintain, and repair overhead and underground electrical services connected to the electrical supply network.
