Lead the Teams That Build the Foundation of the Grid

Strengthening our nation’s power grid isn’t easy, but reliable electrical service is essential to everyday life. Every time someone charges an iPhone, cranks up the A/C, or turns on a computer, we are busy behind the scenes making it happen.

Michels Power, Inc. is one of the largest, most sought-after power delivery contractors in the United States. We execute the full spectrum of electrical infrastructure projects—including transmission lines, substations, distribution systems, and renewable energy development.

• Drive resource planning, workforce development, and equipment utilization across the region
• Promote and reinforce Michels’ safety-first culture at all levels of the organization
• Support strategic initiatives, growth planning, and continuous improvement efforts

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience
• 10–15+ years of progressive experience in construction, with a strong background in foundation, civil, or power delivery projects
• Proven leadership experience managing multiple project teams, regions, or business units
• Deep knowledge of foundation construction methods, including
  • Drilled shafts / piers
  • Driven piles and micropiles
