Cable Procurement Strategy Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

Seeking experienced Senior Project Managers to lead electrical scopes on hyperscale data center projects.

The Senior PM functions as day-to-day project leader on the assigned building or phase, owning schedule, cost, manpower, safety, quality, and client relationships from preconstruction through closeout.

This is not a generalist construction role. The successful candidate will operate in a high-velocity, schedule-driven environment with sophisticated owners, large IBEW field crews, complex change order environments, and direct exposure to ERMCO executive leadership and JV partners.

Core Responsibilities

Project Leadership

•       Serve as senior on-site representative for the assigned scope, building, or phase.

•       Lead all project controls activities: budgeting, forecasting, cost-to-complete, EAC/ETC reporting, and earned value tracking against the original estimate.

•       Manage and mentor Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, project engineers, and project administrators on the assigned team.

•       Interface directly with GC project executives, owner representatives, design teams, and commissioning agents.

Schedule and Production

•       Develop, maintain, and defend the electrical scope schedule in coordination with the GC's CPM scheduler (typically Primavera P6).

•       Translate schedule requirements into manpower curves, material call-off dates, and equipment delivery sequences.

•       Identify schedule risk early and lead recovery planning when slippage occurs.

•       Coordinate with field superintendents on look-ahead planning, sequencing, and trade-stacking resolution.

Cost and Contract Management

•       Own the project P&L for assigned scope.

•       Manage the change order process end-to-end: identification, pricing, narrative development, submission, negotiation, and closeout.

•       Review and approve subcontractor and vendor invoices, validating against schedule of values, rate agreements, and contractual basis.

•       Maintain estimate-vs-actual cost tracking with sufficient granularity to support both internal forecasting and owner/GC reporting.

•       Administer the prime subcontract, partner agreements, and lower-tier subcontracts in accordance with contractual obligations.

Procurement and Vendor Management

•       Drive equipment procurement strategy in coordination with procurement team for long-lead items (switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS, busway, cable).

•       Manage submittal logs, expediting, and delivery coordination.

•       Oversee subcontractor performance for assigned scope (e.g., excavation, concrete, testing, commissioning support).

Workforce and Safety

•       Partner with field leadership and workforce planning on manpower forecasts, traveler strategy, and ramp plans.

•       Reinforce safety culture and ensure compliance with owner, GC, and safety requirements.

•       Operate effectively within an IBEW workforce environment.

Client and Stakeholder Relationships

•       Build and maintain trusted-advisor relationships with GC and owner counterparts.

•       Represent professionally in OAC meetings, partner meetings, and executive briefings.

•       Position favorably for follow-on buildings, campus expansions, and future awards.

Required Qualifications

•       10+ years of construction project management experience, with 5+ years on mission critical, hyperscale data center, semiconductor fab, or comparable large-scale industrial projects.

•       Demonstrated ownership of projects or scopes valued at $50M+ (electrical scope or larger total contract value depending on background).

•       Working knowledge of hyperscale owner standards and GC operating models (Holder, Turner, Clayco, DPR, Mortenson, Gilbane, or equivalent).

•       Fluent in CPM scheduling concepts; able to read, interpret, and challenge a P6 schedule.

•       Strong financial acumen: budgets, forecasts, cost coding, change management, and project accounting.

•       Proven track record managing change orders in sophisticated owner environments.

•       Experience working in or alongside IBEW workforce environments strongly preferred.

•       Proficient in Procore, Bluebeam, Microsoft Project or P6, and Excel-based cost tracking.

•       Ability to relocate or travel to project site full-time.

Preferred Qualifications

•       Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Electrical Engineering, or related field.

•       Prior experience as a Senior PM or Project Executive on a Google, Meta, AWS, or Microsoft project.

•       Experience with JV or partner-contractor structures.

•       OSHA 30, PMP, or equivalent credentials.
