Electricians are required to provide specialist electrical support to the Air Force's expeditionary operations. The Electrician's role involves the installation, maintenance and repair of power and lighting reticulation systems, and other electrical plant and equipment in industrial and domestic style conditions. Principal duties concentrate on deployed operations both within Australia and overseas. A limited number of positions in specific locations are responsible for other electrical plant and equipment in industrial conditions and domestic installations. These roles are performed regularly on deployments to temporary and permanent airfields in support of expeditionary air operations. Such activities could also be undertaken at any of the major RAAF Bases and at isolated temporary RAAF airfields or construction sites within Australia.

Electricians receive training in general and specialist vehicle operation and are required to support other trades in the performance of their duties. Whilst posted to remote localities and in exercise situations, the Electrician may be responsible for the installation of mains size power reticulation and the maintenance of power generating equipment and airfield lighting installations. Electricians also participate regularly in ground defence exercises where they are required to provide temporary electrical services. Electricians are able to progress to the rank of Corporal and then apply to become Works Supervisors where they can then follow a career path up to Warrant Officer.
