WECA Alumni (and Member Contractor Pavletich Electric & Communications, Inc. Employee)

Tanner Nicks Profiled in Electrical Construction & Maintenance's 2024 30 Under 30 Cohort

WECA alumni Tanner Nicks, a journeyman electrician for WECA Member Contractor Pavletich Electric & Communications, Inc., was recently profiled in Electrical Construction & Maintenance's 2024 30 Under 30 EC&M Electrical All Stars cohort! We loved the story of how the apprenticeship training he received at WECA prepared him to be a leader and teach others.

Born in Bakersfield, Calif., Nicks completed his five-year apprenticeship through the Western Electrical Contractors Association (WECA). "The training I have received has given me the confidence and knowledge to be responsible for being in charge of jobs as well as the safety of others when working on the job site that I am in charge of," he says.

As a journeyman electrician and lead for his company, his day begins with obtaining material for the daily work. He also sets aside work for employees depending on their knowledge and experience. He enjoys teaching the people who work for him faster ways to do certain tasks and answering questions about electrical installations or operation of electrical equipment.

"Teaching is a very rewarding process that my role includes," he says.
