They plan, install, maintain and repair electrical systems in buildings and industrial facilities. Their work covers wiring, distribution boards, lighting, power supply, and related equipment such as data networks, fire alarm, and security systems.

Projects include new construction, renovations, and maintenance of existing installations. Sähköurakoitsijat perform fault finding, meter installation, energy-efficiency upgrades, and inspections for safety and compliance. They coordinate with architects, engineers, and other trades to ensure correct integration of electrical systems.

Qualifications and regulation: In most countries, electrical contractors must hold appropriate licenses or certifications. Electricians employed by them typically have professional qualifications (such as installer or master electrician). Work is governed by electrical safety laws, building codes, and standards. Documentation, testing and safe work practices are required.

Safety: Electrical work poses risks of electric shock, fire and equipment damage. Contractors conduct risk assessments, obtain permits if required, and provide warranties or service agreements. Insurance and liability coverage are common.

Market: Sähköurakoitsijat serve residential, commercial and industrial customers and may operate as sole traders, small firms or larger contracting companies. They often bid for private projects or public tenders, and may offer service contracts and maintenance.

Notes: In Finland, sähköurakoitsija denotes a business that is expected to comply with national regulations and standards for electrical installations. Contractors emphasize quality, safety, and compliance, and are integral to building and industrial projects.
