New Student Union Building | Foreman Electrician Eddie Barham

There’s a special feeling of camaraderie amongst #OneRoyal’s Britton Middle School crew, thanks in part to the leadership of our foreman Eddie Barham. Joining Royal Electric in 2021 Eddie started on the 353 Main Street Family Apartments Project in Redwood City, CA. Later given the opportunity to lead, he became the foreman electrician on the Britton Middle School New Student Union Building & Administration Modernization Project for ‪@morganhillusd‬ after just two weeks onsite.

Eddie originally started his career as an airport control room operator, monitoring conveyor belts along with other tasks in the terminal, while studying to become a registered nurse. After hearing about ‪@abcsocal8908‬’s electrical apprenticeship program from a colleague, Eddie saw the opportunity and joined the organization within a month. Upon finishing the program in 2017 Eddie moved to Northern California, working as a journeyman with another contractor on a job at Mule Creek State Prison in Ione, CA before joining Royal Electric.
