Electrical testing and engineering services for power systems and industrial equipment
Potomac Testing operates a mid-market electrical services business focused on NETA-certified testing, power quality studies, and field maintenance across low, medium, and high voltage systems. The hiring mix is heavily engineering-skewed (21 roles vs. 1 ops), with mid-level engineers forming the backbone—a pattern typical of field-service companies scaling technician capacity. Active projects center on data center and power plant outages, while pain points center on safety compliance, technician retention, and managing scope/timeline/budget constraints across emergency and planned work.
Potomac Testing, founded in 1985 and part of the TechPro Power Group, provides comprehensive electrical testing and engineering services to industrial and utility clients. The service portfolio spans NETA acceptance and maintenance testing, planned and emergency field services, power quality and engineering studies, and equipment retrofitting and refurbishment. The company operates across low, medium, and high voltage domains, serving data centers, power plants, and industrial facilities. At 51–200 employees, the organization is engineering-led, with most capacity allocated to field service delivery and technical projects rather than back-office functions.
Engineering tools include AutoCAD Electrical, ETAP, and Megger for diagnostics and design. Operations rely on SCADA, PLC, and Modbus for industrial systems control. Office productivity uses Microsoft Office suite (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
