Is an electrical fitter a electrical trade?

[PattD98]

I am an electrical fitter by trade, my EA says an electrical trade person should get paid more, but offers a higher rate of pay for an electrical license, just wondering if an electrical fitter is recognised as an electrical trade

A little google shows your location as Australia, so maybe an admin can move this to specific section??

Most members are UK based, with a sprinkling of other places, including Oz, so hopefully someone might be able to help.
Is there not official pay rates posted on the internet that you can look up?
