To sign "electrician," you combine the signs for "electric" and the "person" marker. First, form both hands into "X" handshapes by curling your index fingers. Bring your hands in front of your chest and tap the knuckles of your index fingers together twice. Then, change both hands to flat handshapes with your palms facing each other, and move them straight down to indicate a person.
Sign "WE", "NEED", "CALL", and then "ELECTRICIAN" by tapping your "X" fingers together and adding the downward person marker.
Sign "MY BROTHER" followed by "ELECTRICIAN". Remember to clearly separate the tapping motion of "electric" from the smooth downward motion of the person marker.
Sign "ELECTRICIAN", "FIX", and "LIGHTS". Emphasize the "electric" part of the sign to establish the context of the repair work being done.

Yes, the downward motion with flat hands is the 'person' marker. Without it, you are just signing 'electric' or 'electricity' instead of the profession.
Typically, you tap the knuckles of your 'X' handshapes together twice. A quick, double tap is standard for the 'electric' portion of the sign.
No, it is important to use the 'X' handshape (curled index fingers). Using straight index fingers twisting toward each other changes the sign entirely, making it look like the sign for 'hurt' or 'pain.'
