Sorry, but in what country are electricians digging trenches?

I am an electrician, technically. (I do high voltage testing for a living.)

In the US it's common for entry level or apprentice to be the ones making a trench on residential jobs. It's part of the hazing culture, my best guess, that the older workers pass down. I hired electricians and they did the trenchwork with shovels.

Anywhere that builds houses

Not at all. I have never seen electricians dig a single trench here in Europe.

Who digs them then?
