ABOUT POWER :

Power Construction is consistently regarded as one of Chicago's largest and most respected General Contractors according to Crain's Chicago. But beyond that, you can find us on the golf course, competing in beach volleyball or softball in Grant Park, brewing beer, attending neighborhood festivals, giving back to the community, and spending time together during a range of company-sponsored events. Our culture is one of the reasons we've been selected by our employees as a top workplace year after year and it's reflected in our current 92% employee retention rate.

We are builders. We crave being in the field and share an appetite for innovation. We believe that bringing diverse perspectives together helps foster stronger outcomes. We are driven to wow our clients and business partners, improve our processes, hire the right people, and help them grow.

RECRUITING WITH POWER :

The number one challenge for every company? Hiring the right people. However, for us, recruitment is ultimately about finding the best fit for the long run - not just hiring bodies.

We're looking for someone who's passionate about working not only in the business of construction, but on the business of Power.
