Installing electrical systems: you have a talent for it!

As an electrical installation technician, you'll feel at home anywhere. And that's essential, as you'll primarily be working with clients. You'll install electrical systems in homes, commercial buildings, or even hospitals. You'll work as part of a team, led by a colleague.

You'll lay the cables and pipes for a system, but you'll also install components like switches, lighting, or fire alarms. It's varied work in ever-changing environments!

At school and during internships, you'll learn what it takes to become a skilled electrical engineer. This includes working safely and learning to plan. We also emphasize teamwork and managing the expectations of clients, colleagues, and your employer.

You will receive lessons in the modern environment of Brainport Industries Campus.
