Michels Power, Inc. is one of the largest, most sought-after power delivery contractors in the United States. We execute the entire spectrum of electrical infrastructure projects-including the construction of transmission lines and substations, the modernization of distribution systems, and the development of both Oil & Gas facilities and Renewable Energy initiatives.

Our substation group plays a critical role in building and maintaining the backbone of the grid throughout the United States. From greenfield builds to brownfield upgrades, our substation teams deliver high-quality solutions that support grid reliability and future-ready infrastructure.

Why you?

  • You want to know your efforts are recognized and appreciated.
  • You like making your own decisions-with the right support.
  • You want to be part of a team that improves lives through essential infrastructure.

What it takes:
  • Experience with Microsoft Office Suite; familiarity with job cost tracking and estimating software is a plus.
