We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of electrical substation construction projects supporting a major mission-critical data center development in Northern Indiana. This role will oversee all aspects of substation design coordination, construction, commissioning, and turnover, ensuring safe, reliable, and on-schedule delivery of high-voltage infrastructure.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience in electrical utility or substation projects and the ability to manage complex technical scopes, multiple stakeholders, and high-value infrastructure installations in fast-paced construction environments.

Responsibilities
  • Manage full project lifecycle for electrical substation construction from preconstruction through commissioning and closeout
  • Oversee planning, scheduling, budgeting, procurement, and execution of substation scopes
  • Coordinate with utilities, engineers, EPC contractors, and construction teams
  • Manage high-voltage equipment installation including transformers, switchgear, breakers, protection systems, and associated infrastructure
  • Oversee civil, structural, and electrical interface scopes within the substation footprint
  • Ensure compliance with utility standards, electrical codes, and safety requirements
  • Lead project meetings and provide regular reporting to stakeholders and client representatives
  • Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, and contract administration
  • Support commissioning, testing, energization, and system startup activities
  • Identify risks and implement mitigation strategies to maintain schedule and budget performance
  • Coordinate closely with data center power requirements and utility interconnection teams
Qualifications
  • 5–10+ years of experience in electrical construction or utility infrastructure projects
  • Strong experience with electrical substations, transmission, or distribution systems
  • Knowledge of high-voltage systems, protection & control, and power distribution infrastructure
  • Experience managing EPC contractors, utility companies, and multidisciplinary project teams
  • Strong understanding of construction scheduling, cost control, and project management principles
  • Familiarity with commissioning and energization processes for substation projects
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or related field preferred
Preferred Backgrounds

Candidates may come from utility companies, EPC contractors, electrical contractors, or infrastructure firms delivering high-voltage transmission and substation projects.

Experience supporting data centers, mission-critical facilities, or large industrial power systems is highly desirable.

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking a technically strong and delivery-focused Project Manager who can take ownership of complex electrical substation projects from inception through energization. The ideal candidate will be confident managing high-voltage infrastructure and capable of coordinating across utilities, contractors, and client teams to deliver critical power systems on time and to specification.

This is a high-impact role supporting a major data center power program with strong long-term career growth potential.
