James Alibrandi '84

Distinguished Alum Award

James Alibrandi headshot

Jim Alibrandi saw his career take off even before he set foot on the UHart campus, where he would study for a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. It all began in high school when he had the opportunity to become an electrical apprentice at Interstate Electrical Services Corporation. 

Fast forward to 1996 when Alibrandi was named president of the firm. Today, it is one of the largest electrical contractors in New England, with regional offices in six states and more than 750 employees. 

Alibrandi’s skills extend far beyond technical know-how; he helps the firm grow in stature and reputation through his commitment to teamwork and his devotion to safety, innovation, and lean methodology. One result of this expertise is the creation of Interstate’s 100,000-square-foot operations center in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, which features New England’s most technologically advanced electrical prefabrication facility. 

Alibrandi holds several electrician licenses across New England and is an active member of the Associated Builders and Contractors in all its New England chapters. He has previously served as a chapter chair and as a member of its national board. Always eager to give back to his community, Alibrandi also volunteers at his local Boys & Girls Club. 

He and his wife, Karen (also a UHart graduate), enjoy their Bay State lifestyle with their two children.
