Electrician — Earn Extra Every Day You Work

You wire buildings that keep cities running. That expertise has real value — and now you can get paid for it.

🇪🇺 Electricians are on the European Commission's official list of critical shortage professions. Your skills are in high demand. Record them. Get paid.

The Observer Programme pays electricians to record their working day using lightweight smart glasses. You don't change how you work. You don't learn new tools. You do your job — and earn extra on top of your regular income.

How it works

• Wear smart glasses (lighter than safety glasses) while you work
• Record sessions from 30 minutes up — fits around your day
• Spend a few minutes after each session confirming what tasks you did in the app
• Get paid per recorded minute. The more you record, the more you earn
• All recordings are anonymised — no faces, no voices, no identifying details

That's it. No computer work. No data entry. No second job.

What you'll earn

You're paid per minute of accepted footage — on top of your regular income. Earnings depend on your specialism, experience, and how often you record.

€20–€28 per recorded hour

€80–€112 per recording day (based on ~4 hours)

€1,200–€1,800 per month (based on 20 recording days)

First Observers in a specialism or region earn a launch bonus. Extra earnings are possible through referral bonuses and specialist recording tasks.

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of experience as an electrician (residential, commercial, industrial, or specialist)
• Currently working — employed, self-employed, or freelance
• Hands-on work: wiring, conduit, fault-finding, panel work, testing, circuit installation
• Smartphone (iOS or Android) for the Observer app

All specialisms welcome: residential wireman, commercial electrician, industrial electrician, solar panel installer, EV charger installer, marine electrician, highway lighting, wind turbine electrician.

We provide everything

• Smart glasses — shipped to you, pre-configured
• Full onboarding and support (~30 minutes)
