About Ernesto Hernandez

As Chief Commercial Officer at Roberson Waite Electric, I lead with a mission to build people, projects, and partnerships for purpose — advancing safe, high-quality, self-performing solutions in utility substations and renewable energy construction. Our TEAM of Teams unites operational excellence with relational trust, forming partnerships that endure well beyond the project closeout. We exist to resolve complex and powerful challenges with humility, precision, and integrity — ensuring every phase, from concept to commissioning, reflects our commitment to safety and service. With deep experience across operations, pre-construction, and field execution, I champion transparent collaboration and continuous improvement. Our teams bring proven expertise in electrical and civil construction, wiring, in-service testing, and commissioning — all anchored by California licenses in A-General Engineering, B-General Building, and C-10 Electrical. I also serve on the Board of Directors for the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of California, Riverside–San Bernardino District, advocating for safety, workforce development, and innovation across the construction industry. Above all, I believe that excellence in our industry is not only about what we build, but also about how we build — through honor, teamwork, and a shared purpose.
