Working conditions
Electrical Engineers can expect to be outdoors, often in harsh weather as that is when emergency repairs are most often needed. Hours may include nights, weekends, and holidays on top of a normal work day. Some electrical engineers may get office jobs with design and research, but should expect to spend at least some time outdoors testing materials.Professional associations / Industry information
