can a journeyman electrician work by himself
Journeyman Work. A journeyman is licensed to work by himself, without direct supervision, installing wiring, outlets and fixtures. A journeyman also does service work, troubleshooting when a breaker fails or a light stops working. A journeyman cannot get permits, but must work under those issued to a master.
A journeyman lineman license is not required for a person performing work exempt under Section1305.003 (a) of the Texas Electrical Safety and Licensing Act; or a person who is performing journeyman lineman work; possesses a journeyman electrician license; and is employed by an institution of higher education.
