In Arizona, the IBEW is the only organization that certifies the skills and knowledge of a Journeyman Wireman, and then backs that certification with a commitment to the employers who hire them. Our members typically enjoy long careers as the recognized professionals in the Electrical Industry. From major construction projects to emergency service calls, the list of projects that our members have proudly built is large and varied. Our Contractors and Members have done extensive work at Arizona’s largest schools and universities, including large solar installations, and have been involved in most of the major sports stadiums/arenas in the Phoenix Metro area.  In addition, IBEW 640 was highly involved in the construction of the Palo Verde Nuclear Facility in the 1980s.  More recently, we have worked on many of the high-rise and renovation projects and on the light rail in downtown Phoenix and around the valley.  As new green technologies are incorporated into the nation’s power grid, Local 640 leads the way in our ability to train and provide qualified manpower for solar, wind, battery storage, and electric vehicle charging installations in the quantities that will be required to complete these large-scale projects.
