I recently sat down with Diarmid Campbell, Assistant Business Agent Organizer with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers here in San Angelo, Texas.
Diarmid came up through the trade himself, and today he represents and advocates for electrical workers across the region. Our conversation gave me a better understanding of what the IBEW stands for—and how it actively supports its members through training, representation, and opportunity.
We also spent some time exploring a topic that’s on everyone’s mind: how artificial intelligence is beginning to influence skilled trades like electrical work. It’s a space where tradition meets rapid innovation, and the implications are worth paying attention to.
If you’re interested in workforce development, skilled trades, or the real-world impact of AI, I think you’ll find this conversation valuable.
