When he was in high school, Adrian Hernandez went to work for a commercial contracting company. This experience sparked his interest in the electrical trade.

“Being able to see the drawings, the wire pulling, and the installation of conduit all just clicked to me,” said Hernandez, who is the first one in his family to work as an electrician. 
Born and raised in Texas, he was involved in a welding competition, which involved electrical work, during his junior and senior year of high school.

“I was mainly in charge of the electrical side of the project, which got me to learn and understand more of how electrical works,” he said.

After he graduated from high school, he is currently taking college classes for his NCCER for electrical, and he’s also employed as an electrical apprentice full-time. As an electrician, he works with wiring, runs conduit, and troubleshoots mistakes that have been made in the field. He arrives on the job site 15 minutes early to set up the fabrication area.

He then completes the daily tasks, makes sure everyone has the necessary tools, and then cleans up the job site at the end of the day.

Currently, his company is handling multiple jobs, but he is working at the Dow work site in Clute, Texas. Moving forward, he said he wants to take on every challenge he can and is proud to be part of the 2025 EC&M 30 Under 30.

“I am truly grateful to be recognized, especially at this stage in my career and at my age. It’s an honor that motivates me to continue growing and striving for excellence,” he said.
