Trades and technical jobs abroad

English for electricians

On site, English is about safety and clarity: what is switched off, what is live and what the client should choose. Mistakes in words matter here.

Pack in preparation

Your working week

The conversations you have, in English.

  1. 01

    Safety briefing

    What makes it hard: Say what is isolated, what is live and who can enter.

  2. 02

    Explaining options

    What makes it hard: Give the client two options with prices and a recommendation.

  3. 03

    Working with the crew

    What makes it hard: Agree who does what today and report what is done.

  4. 04

    A delay on site

    What makes it hard: Tell the site manager what is holding you up and what you need.

Sounds familiar?

You know English. These moments still catch you out.

  • “Safety words must be exact, and I’m not sure I use the right ones.”
  • “The crew speaks fast slang and I miss instructions.”
  • “Explaining why the cheaper option is risky is hard in English.”
