Intro
- I’m Donnie Jackson. I have worked for SDGE for 26 years. I started as a laborer at NE, then did my apprenticeship at NC and that’s where I journeyed out in 2005. 2010 I transferred to transmission and was part of the sunrise project. Became a relief fault finder in 2013 at beach cities. Made relief troubleman in 2015 at NC. Made Working Foreman in OC in 2016. Gave up Foreman due to family issues and transferred back to NE. Made Working Foreman again at NE in 2025. Along the way I have taught multiple Line assistant and apprentice classes. I love passing down the trade to the next generation.
