The demand for licensed electricians is high in Florida and expected to continue growing as new construction and infrastructure projects are undertaken. If you are considering a career as a licensed electrician, you can expect to earn a competitive salary, and have steady employment and job security. Skilled electricians are needed in various industries, including residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Electricians also have the flexibility to work independently, for an established company or start their own businesses which can give you more control over your work schedule, projects, and income potential. Although physical demands and challenging environments, such as cramped spaces, heights, or extreme weather conditions exist, those who enjoy hands-on work, problem-solving, and working with electrical systems will find this profession rewarding, and you can continually expand your knowledge and expertise through ongoing training and certifications. To be a licensed electrician in Florida, you must obtain a Certified Electrical Contractor license through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). This license requires that you pass the electrical licensing exam, provide proof of work experience, demonstrate financial responsibility, and pass a criminal background check. Interested in obtaining your electrician’s license? This guide will explain the process and answer some common questions about the documents and requirements that will need to be provided to the DBPR.
