Maybe yes, maybe no.
Those type of rules are made on a local basis, you should call your local licensing board.

Sure, why not? You put the white wire to the white screw. Green is ground the whole world round, and other stuff like that.

Too expand upon that...
An industrial electrician may be a plant electrician covered by the employers insurance. Switching hats to residential may require that the individual carry his own insurance (among other things).
The answer is not a simple yes/no.

Amen to that.
Several years ago we had a couple of guys with commercial/industrial experience wire a house for one of our industrial customers.
What a job!!
The inspector laughed his a** off when he saw the service with the 6x6 trough, the rigid conduit, the unistrut racks, the romex run at perfect 90 degree angles in the attic and all the drops into switches and receptacles with perfect offsets as they entered the box.
Luckily, it was a T&M job.
