How many hours does an electrician work?

Most electricians work a standard work week of 40 hours. The exact schedule will depend on the employer and the job, so it can vary from person to person. Electricians work for different companies and may work on a set schedule or may be on call and work at any time.

Electricians who are on call will have hours that vary from week to week. As such, they may work 25 hours one week and 60 hours the next week. The hours will depend on the nature of the calls. It is important to note that some employers will not permit you to work overtime. This is often determined by company policy, demand, and need.
