Morphology
The phrase combines 'electrical' (relating to electricity) and 'work' (job/tasks), so the meaning — tasks involving installation, maintenance, or repair of electrical systems — is directly deducible from the constituents. This is a regular adjective+noun composition common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Electrical work comes from a simple picture: an electrician on a ladder connecting wires and fixing lights. Because electrical refers to electricity and work means a job, it now means 'work on electricity' such as installing, maintaining, or repairing wires and devices.
