Is the word eletricista the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical usage of "eletricista" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are more "open" and clearly articulated (e-le-tri-cis-ta). In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often "closed" or reduced, meaning the initial "e" is much more subtle and may sound almost like a neutral, swallowed sound.
