The bottom line

Only about 5% of Electricians is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.

Why: Despite a listed toolset entirely concentrated in IT/software (UNSPSC segment 43, including PLC and calculation software), the core work is overwhelmingly physical. Top work activities include 'Performing General Physical Activities' (4.71) and 'Handling and Moving Objects' (4.28). The work context firmly places this occupation in the pure physical band, driven by 'Wear Common Protective or Safety Equipment' (4.95), 'Spend Time Using Your Hands to Handle, Control, or Feel Objects' (4.94), and being 'Exposed to Hazardous Conditions' (4.59).
