Interior Electrician
As an Interior Electrician in the Army National Guard, you will build the skills you need for a rewarding civilian career while lighting the way for other Soldiers by installing and repairing wire systems in offices, repair shops, airplane hangars, and other buildings.
Like a civilian electrician, you will install and wire electrical hardware like transformers, junction boxes, service panels, electrical boxes, switches, and circuit breakers. This requires the knowledge of trade tools and the ability to read blueprints and wiring plans. You will also ensure the safety of electrical work and systems using test meters.
Plus, you'll be building a better future. The skills you learn as an Army National Guard Interior Electrician will prepare you for a civilian career in commercial and residential contracting. You could work for public utility companies, commercial contractors, or as a self-employed contractor.
