Your day with JDC Power Systems
Sun up in the DMV. Your first stop: a facility with aging LV/MV switchgear that just tripped. You arrive prepared, run diagnostics with your relay test set, isolate a faulted breaker, review the PLC logic, and get operations back online with minimal downtime. By afternoon, you’re mentoring a junior tech on safe lockout/tagout and running a remote session to help another team interpret SCADA alarms. That blend of autonomy, complexity, and customer interaction is the rhythm of an FSR2 at JDC Power Systems, LLC.
