The role of an Electrical Engineer involves talking to clients to find out exactly what their needs are in regards to electricity. This role then looks for sources that can safely and efficiently provide electricity to the place of need. This can be for anything from general lighting to specialized equipment in laboratories.
As part of this process, an Electrical Engineer gets to visit sites, talk to electricians and clients. This role provides design in various forms which can be basic sketches, reports, detailed drawings for constructions depending on who the audience is. An enjoyable part of this role is visiting various Defence sites before and after the project to literally see the difference that has been made.
