and electrical code specifications to determine wiring layout. They cut, thread, bend, assemble, and

manufacturing plants. The work often requires considerable standing, bending, crawling, lifting,6 c0 r; ~5 ~+ T2 w

may supervise an apprentice. On large jobs, they may work under the direction of a supervisor.$ X& r( b/ M" _' ^& X
