For Juan Castro, AI is a good opportunity. In the video he released, he mentioned that trades are going to be some of the best paying jobs According to him, there is more work than him and there is a demand for qualified professionals.
Add other aspects to the YouTube description. AI can help diagnose problems and calculate installations. Also, they can save time in the budget. That’s why he suggests combining the same with AI tools. This way you can do more and improve what you charge.
“AI Won’t Take Our Jobs”writes In the video he mentions the opportunities he sees in AI for electricians and plumbers, according to NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. It encourages training in technical trades. He also said You can win more than 2,000 euros (gross? net?) after a few months of training, not to mention the duration it mentions. Training information may be requested.
Because there is something present in it. He explained this in an interview on June 10, 2026. “If the power goes out in a house, someone has to physically go”; Although Recognizes that AI can be used in administrative and management aspectsEmphasizes that you must learn on site and that you must continue to train when changing facilities.
A physical connection to AI is also among the needs of these professionals. Google announced that it will support a training program for 100,000 electrical workers and 30,000 new apprentices in the United States. The company connects you to the infrastructure needs to power AI (and advanced industries and clean energy). This is not a recruitment program, but a training program.
Electrician offers in Spain
In the Spanish market we find data that shows this lack. InfoJobs analysis for April 2026 (with data for 2025) shows 8,179 electrician vacancies. With 31 candidates per vacancy (average 56 on the platform). In total, 29,847 vacancies were published in electricity sub-sector (more profiles available).
This shows that there is less competition than the average infojobs. They are not saying that there are vacancies yet, we also don’t know what the starting salary will be. Yaiza Canosa also talked about the opportunities for plumbers compared to developers.
Castro talks about a short training sessionBut we have to see what it proves. The electrotechnical regulation for low voltage (instruction ITC-BT-03) indicates that it is necessary to have a qualified installation company to carry out the operation. In addition, one of the following qualification pathways must be demonstrated: qualification with appropriate skills; recognized professional experience; Certification by a recognized entity… Duration of a course does not guarantee this.
Saving time does not guarantee high pay
We must distinguish between job shifting and job elimination. For example, in the 2025 exposure index International Labor Organization (ILO) and NASK It is estimated that one in four workers in the world has a job (to a greater or lesser extent) with generative AI. Administrative careers are still the most open. The authors consider that job change is more likely (not complete replacement), since there are many jobs that require people.
The issue of saving time and how it affects pay is something that has yet to be addressed in Castro’s forecast. An ILO evidence review (published June 1, 2026) found that there have been asymmetric productivity gains. The time savings that workers declare have not yet translated into higher measured incomes. This is not a specific study of electricians; Therefore, it cannot be assumed that you will be able to increase the number of orders automatically (with the help of AI) and become one of the best paid. It must be proved.
