    Hi,

    I am trying to find out what are most electricians getting across the country at the moment?
    Do you get paid better in construction or maintenance?
    Is there much decent work available?

    I see some maintenance jobs that offer maybe 35K p.a.
    This works out at around E550 p/w.
    I thought most electrician across the country would be getting around E600 pw which must work
    out at around 40K p.a?

    Construction generally pays more than maintenance, most employers back paying union rates now

    How much is that?
    Is there still work at Intel or any other big jobs going on like that?
    Or even across Europe?

    Pay varies considerably across the industry.
    Domestic electrical work tends to pay less than industrial. Maintenance roles in the pharmaceutical industry can be well paid these roles are hard to get without instrumentation experience. Obviously post apprenticeship experience and additional training are also important factors.
