Electrical Project Manager

Job Description

TekPro Engineering is partnering with a well-established, nationally recognized electrical contractor that specializes in large-scale, complex commercial and industrial projects. Due to continued growth and a major data center initiative, they are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to support a long-term project in the Minooka, IL area.

This is a high-visibility role on a multi-year data center project, offering strong leadership exposure, stability, and the opportunity to work with a contractor known for delivering turnkey electrical solutions.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Backed by a financially stable, growth-oriented contractor
• Opportunity to lead large, complex electrical scopes
• Competitive compensation and strong support structure
• Blend of home-based support with regular onsite involvement

Position Overview

The Senior Project Manager will oversee all phases of a major data center electrical construction project, from preconstruction through closeout. This individual will serve as a key leader on the project, coordinating teams, managing budgets and schedules, and ensuring successful delivery for the client.

While the role is structured to be home-based for planning and support, consistent onsite presence will be expected—particularly during critical phases of the project.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage large-scale commercial/industrial electrical construction projects
• Oversee full project lifecycle: budgeting, scheduling, procurement, execution, and closeout
• Coordinate internal teams, subcontractors, and vendors
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients and stakeholders
• Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and contractual requirements
• Track financial performance, change orders, and forecasting
• Drive project efficiency and successful on-time, on-budget delivery

Qualifications

• Senior-level Project Management experience in electrical construction
• Strong background in commercial and industrial turnkey projects
• Prior experience supporting data center projects strongly
• Proven ability to manage large budgets, schedules, and field teams
• Excellent communication and leadership skills
• Ability to balance remote planning with onsite execution
