Is it allowable to permit the installation of electrical devices on new or existing branch circuits by an unlicensed person in an industrial setting?

Allowable by who?
What do you mean by installation?
What do you mean by electrical devices?
In general, most states do not seem to require much in the way of licensing beyond the installation of the branch circuits, or at least don't enforce such requirements if they technically exist. There is good reason for this as often it is all but impossible to get licensed electricians that know enough about specialized equipment to install or maintain it properly, so the plant uses its own people to do so.
The most important question is, why are you asking?
Typically, in this area, that type of work could be done by employees of the plant without permits or license....
Need to run a new branch circuit for the coffee maker or new machine? Now you're doing electrical construction.

In Florida we allow the facility to obtain an annual facility electrical permit.
They can do what they want when they need to, but they need an EC and they need inspections.
They just don't have to go stand in line for a permit every time they need to move or add something.
A bit different here.
If a facility has a master electrician on staff they can pull a yearly maintenance permit that allows repairs to existing. That work still needs to be done by a Master, a J-man or an apprentice under direct supervision.
But if its time for new circuitry etc a permit specif to that is supposed to be obtained.
Of course places cheat these rules often.

There are some exemptions for work by the plant employees, and they are fairly broad in scope.By tradition or by law?
Here things like that happen but don't know of any legal allowance for it.
