The national average salary of those surveyed is $52,912. Maintenance technicians in their first year earn just under $19/hour. Technicians with the most experience earn just over $25/hour.
Section 26 is a general section of the code and applies to the installation of all electrical equipment. Appendix B contains important additional helpful notes. This section is divided into a number of parts, with the general rules 26-002 to 26-014 applying to all electrical equipment and additional parts for specific types of equipment.
Calibration, testing, and validation are intertwined within the science field and it can be complicated when looking at the differences and true meanings. Each activity is used to ensure quality in the measurement process and to comply as per the requirements of a standard.
Building a control system for a modern lighting installation can seem like an impossibly complex task. To simplify it, a systematic approach to understanding the needs of the design, facility, and user can be employed. In this white paper, we aim to define the questions one must answer to construct an appropriate control system.
One third of master electricians have medical benefits. Less than one quarter have no benefits at all. See what percentage have vision and dental benefits.
Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) conducted research to characterize the current state of DC lighting and building microgrid market and technologies.
There is a golden rule for saving electricity: The less time your lights are on, the lower your electricity bill will be. Everyone from lighting designers and architects to building owners and facility managers knows this well. That’s why more and more are switching their legacy lighting systems and designs with energy-efficient, longer-last LED lighting.
It might be hard to picture now, but there will come a day (presumably) when most of us return to the office to work at least a few days a week. For a variety of reasons, not all jobs can be done remotely forever. Consider payroll, for example. Many organizations are anxious to make sure these professionals can work onsite at least part of the time due to potential cybersecurity issues, the importance of their roles, and the sensitivity of the information they work with.
All sectors observed gains in the total value of building permits issued in September, which rose 17.0% to $9.4 billion.
The importance of clean air has been thrust into the spotlight with the emergence of COVID-19 and the rapidly spreading infections related to it. Examples have emerged around the world showing how aerosols may be playing a role in transmission…
The estimated gross domestic product (GDP) at market prices for underground economic activity in Canada reached $61.2 billion, or 2.7% of total GDP, in 2018.
This graph shows hourly pay for master electricians in six cities. In comparision, the national average is $35/hour or $78,000/year.
I was reminded again over the past few weeks in working with clients on electrical safety program development, following up on LinkedIn posts, and reviewing IEEE 1584 based arc flash hazard incident energy analysis study P.Eng. reports for clients that industry doesn’t understand the CSA Z462 Workplace electrical safety standard…
This graph shows average salaries for the utility industry. In comparison to electrical contracting,the average salary for a master electrician is comparable at $78,000, topping out at $120,000 (among those surveyed).
In the past few months, the term “she-cession” has been used to refer to the disproportionate impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on women’s participation in the workforce. Current Canadian numbers show that more women than men have lost their jobs, and fewer women than men have been able to get them back as workplaces re-open.
It should be noted that the type of control signal shouldn’t really matter — meaning that the use of analog protocols (such as 0-10V) vs. digital protocols (such as DALI or DMX) are simply the “messengers” talking in a specific language.
