General contractor managing $1M–$500M+ projects across commercial and industrial sectors
Power Construction is a Chicago-headquartered general contractor built on a 98-year operational history, now in active expansion mode (12 new roles posted in the last month). The tech stack reveals a construction firm mid-transition: legacy enterprise systems (SQL Server, Oracle, Weblogic) running core financials and project controls, paired with domain-specific tools (Revit for BIM, SCADA for systems monitoring). Active projects around SQL Server database development, ERP data conversions, and system integrations—alongside pain points in cash flow optimization and project accounting accuracy—signal an internal push to tighten financial visibility and operational control as the company scales.
Power Construction operates as a design-build and general contracting firm executing complex projects across commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors. The portfolio spans project types ranging under $1 million to over $500 million. The organization is structured around construction delivery (14 open roles), engineering and preconstruction (8 roles), with finance and HR support functions. Based in Chicago with national reach, the firm is family and senior management-owned. Current hiring acceleration and in-flight projects around ERP migrations, dashboard development for recruitment tracking, and MEP/FP system commissioning indicate the company is investing in operational infrastructure to support growth while maintaining project delivery and client satisfaction.
Primary stack includes Revit (BIM modeling), SQL Server and Oracle (databases), Power BI and Jasper (reporting), SCADA (systems monitoring), and Java/C#/.NET for custom integrations. Active projects include SQL Server database development and ERP data conversions.
