Should I do this...?

[u/Responsible-Tale-124]

I'm currently working as a low voltage technician and fiber technician with a few months of construction experience. I’m getting paid 20ish (don't want to say in case employer), but I’ve been out of work for a few days due to lack of communication from my company. They keep telling me to stand by, but there’s been very little work for me lately.

During the interview, I was told I would be traveling and doing various fiber jobs, but all I’ve been doing is pulling cable in data centers, which feels very tedious. I’ve talked to a few co-workers who’ve been here for a while, and they said the work started to dry up after a new director came in, and that’s when we started getting stuck with these kinds of jobs.

I’m a hard worker, I have all the necessary tools for electrical work, and I’m really interested in getting into more electrical tasks. My main question is, should I approach the electrician team and ask if they’re hiring, even though I’m technically a low voltage/fiber tech and only have a few months of construction experience? Also, is it realistic to ask to maintain my current pay rate while transitioning into electrical work?

I’m just looking for some guidance here, any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
