Not all electricians do the same kind of work. Some focus on homes, others on offices or shops. Industrial electricians work in industrial settings where systems are bigger, stronger, and more complex. They make sure everything runs safely and efficiently, from high-powered machines to automation systems.
What Does an Industrial Electrician Do?
An industrial electrician learns to install, maintain, and fix electrical systems and equipment in factories and large buildings.
Here’s what their day might include:
- Installing electrical wiring, switchboards, and control panels
- Troubleshooting and repairing machinery or automation systems
- Performing preventative maintenance to keep things running smoothly
- Following NZ electric codes and safety standards
- Using personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves, helmets, and arc-rated clothing
- Safely working at heights or near high-voltage systems
Their goal is simple, to keep your machines running safely and your business operating without interruptions.
Industrial vs. Commercial Electricians
A commercial electrician usually works in offices, shops, or smaller buildings. They focus on electrical work like lighting, sockets, and standard wiring jobs.
Industrial electricians work on large-scale power systems and complex electrical setups. They handle big motors, production lines, and automated machines inside manufacturing plants.
If your workplace relies on heavy equipment or round-the-clock operations, you need an industrial electrician, not a general one.
Why Industrial Electricians Are Essential in New Zealand
New Zealand’s factories and production plants rely on electricity every minute of the day. Industrial electricians keep these businesses moving.
Here’s why they’re so important:
- Less downtime: They respond fast when problems arise, minimizing production stops.
- Better safety: They follow NZ electric codes and always wear PPE.
- Energy efficiency: Through preventative maintenance, they help reduce energy waste.
- Longer equipment life: Regular care protects electrical components and prevents breakdowns.
Industrial electricians don’t just fix problems, they prevent them.

Industrial electricians go through advanced training and certification to work safely in demanding environments.
They know how to:
- Handle high-voltage equipment safely
- Read technical diagrams and follow electric codes
- Identify and fix faults quickly
- Perform preventative maintenance and upgrades
