may as well add Fire Alarm, HVAC controls, Security,

understanding the endless prints and change orders is also very desirable....especially if your "trying " to get along with the other trades

planning your pipe runs , laying out duct banks under 8 lane roadways can be tricky

if you ever work on embeddded conduits ,it is paramount you learn how to walk through wet concrete loaded with rebar without landing on your face....

and it is imperative you know where the control lines for those embedments and stub-ups are ..



site lighting can turn into a PITA if you are not careful with the underground.
and the Architects have an uncanny ability to want lights and power in thin air..or at least in some very uniqe design element that has NO provision for us to pipe it OR mount something to it

learning all about "post" tension slabs...

enjoying the experience of trying to run pipe from a fully raised scissors lift..

trying to beat a retail deadline has to be experienced to be believed, especially around the Holidays

installing lighting in a building that has NO roof... or floor......Costco seems to enjoy doing this...

learning how to get along with lots of people some of whom will cheerfully be ripping your just installed pipework out...

and if you have not run a lot of pipe, learning how to set up...pull, and feed wire
