About JDR

A service firm built on proven quality, deadlines met, and best cost.

Founded in 1999 as an innovative telecommunications engineering firm, JDR Engineers & Developers has grown into a full-service electrical engineering practice serving residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional clients.

Our advantage is integration: an experienced staff, modern equipment, and an extensive project database — combined with deep regional market knowledge and direct working relationships with government officials. That's how we turn projects around quickly without cutting corners.

Today, JDR is actively expanding our renewable energy practice while continuing to anchor critical telecom and power infrastructure projects across the Caribbean.

Our Trajectory

Quarter of a century, still building.

From a focused telecom engineering practice to a multi-disciplinary firm leading renewable energy projects — here's how JDR has evolved alongside the industry.

1999

JDR is founded

Established as a telecommunications engineering firm in Puerto Rico, focused on tower development and RF infrastructure.

2007

Installation services

Expanded from engineering into installation — Ericsson RBS3200 deployments and integrated tower construction services.

2011

500 sites milestone

Over 500 telecom tower sites developed across the Caribbean. Practice broadens into substation and power line engineering.

Today

Renewables & beyond

Active expansion into photovoltaic systems and renewable energy infrastructure while continuing power, telecom, and permitting work.
