19.4/ 100
1 How much of what an event electrician is expected to do is already part of an automated fly bar operator’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the event electrician role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
