In order for electricity to benefit the customer, it is led from a power plant via the large main grid and on to smaller regional and local electricity grids that supply buildings, streets and parks with electricity. As a distribution electrician, it is within the regional and local networks, so-called distribution networks, that you build, repair and maintain pipes, switchgear and substations.
The work as a distribution electrician is free and varied, but at the same time requires a great deal of knowledge. Working physically outdoors is a natural part of the job. Since the distribution network is located throughout Sweden, it also means variation in the environment you work in. The distribution network is located in cities, along the roads and out in the woods and on the ground.
As a distribution electrician, you can be employed by electric power companies or by contracting companies that work on behalf of electric power companies.
The tasks of the distribution electrician are to:
Approved primary school. We also recommend passing the high school's first courses in Swedish, English and Mathematics.
If you complete the entire program, it totals 1500 credits, including the municipal adult education project (Komvuxarbete).
You will alternate between studying our online courses remotely and attending the school in Sundsvall. The program includes 15% workplace-based learning (WBL).
We have our own web-based education portal, where you can access your courses with study schedules and information on the goals and requirements needed to pass. The education portal also provides support and additional information you need during your studies.
In the program, you will use various simulation programs, so you must have access to a computer (PC) with a Windows operating system.
Things to consider before applying:
A distribution electrician's work is sometimes performed at great heights, so it's helpful not to have a fear of heights if you want to pursue this profession. Additionally, the pole climbers used in both the job and training have a maximum load capacity of 120 kg.
