The job duties of an electrical inspector revolve around working to inspect the wiring, electrical equipment, lighting, fuse boxes, and other elements of electrical infrastructure in a building. In this career, your responsibilities focus on ensuring that all electrical device components in a building meet minimum quality standards and safety requirements. You may work for a local or regional government agency, and you notify the agency and building owner of any violation or required improvements. An electrical inspector may also work for building owners or construction companies and audit the property to ensure that there are no regulation violations.

What is needed to become an electrical inspector?
