Electrical Project Manager – Hyperscale Data Center Construction

Location: Abilene, TX — On-site | Nationwide Applicants Welcome
Pay: $60–$70/hour, depending on experience
Schedule: 55–66 hours per week
Project Duration: Up to 2 years
Per Diem: $1,050/week if all eligibility requirements are met

Outsource is recruiting an experienced Electrical Project Manager for an opportunity supporting a high profile contractor in in Abilene, Texas. We are seeking a construction leader with several years of direct experience managing electrical construction scopes on large hyperscale data center projects.

Direct hyperscale electrical construction project management experience is required. This role requires demonstrated ownership of electrical scope delivery—including budget, schedule, manpower, procurement, subcontractor coordination, change management, and project completion.

Applicants nationwide are encouraged to apply if willing and able to relocate to Abilene for the project duration. You do not need to currently live in Texas, but this position requires on-site work.

About the opportunity:

Lead the on-site execution of electrical construction through planning, procurement, installation, commissioning coordination, closeout, and turnover. You will work with the Project Director, site supervision, subcontractors, and customer representatives to deliver the assigned scope in accordance with contract requirements, quality standards, schedule, and safety expectations.

This is an opportunity to take meaningful ownership of electrical delivery on a substantial project—not simply coordinate documentation or oversee a limited installation activity.

What you’ll do:

• Manage day-to-day construction activities for the assigned electrical scope.
• Develop and execute plans that support safe, cost-effective completion within budget and schedule.
• Manage budgets, cost tracking, forecasting, billing, procurement, and change orders.
• Coordinate manpower, subcontractors, material deliveries, equipment lead times, and construction milestones.
• Direct supervisory personnel and establish clear responsibilities, deliverables, and schedule expectations.
• Monitor productivity, investigate performance gaps, and implement corrective actions.
• Identify and communicate project risks, cost concerns, scope changes, and schedule impacts.
• Document changes to drawings, specifications, and contracted scope.
• Coordinate electrical equipment installation and interfaces with testing and commissioning teams.
• Implement and enforce QA/QC procedures and support inspections, reporting, and permit requirements.
• Manage punch-list completion, closeout documentation, and turnover requirements.
• Reinforce company safety procedures and a zero-injury culture.

Required experience

• Several years of direct project management experience delivering electrical construction on hyperscale data center projects.
• 8–12+ years of industrial construction experience.
• At least five years managing electrical, industrial, or mission-critical construction scopes.
• Demonstrated financial, contractual, and administrative responsibility for the electrical scope personally managed.
• Experience with budgets, forecasting, cost controls, billing, procurement, contracts, and change management.
• Experience coordinating manpower, subcontractors, long-lead equipment, material availability, and construction milestones.
• Experience deploying the Last Planner System and work-package construction.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, electrical drawings, specifications, and technical manuals.
• Strong leadership, communication, documentation, and follow-through.
• High school diploma or GED, or a qualifying combination of related education, training, and experience.
• Ability to work on-site in Abilene and reliably travel to and from the job site using a personal vehicle or public transportation.

Relevant electrical scope experience

Depending on your previous assignments, your experience may include management of:

• Electrical distribution systems.
• Switchgear and transformers.
• Generators and UPS systems.
• Large feeder installations.
• Grounding systems.
• Electrical equipment installation.
• Electrical work packages and associated subcontractors.
• Construction readiness, testing coordination, commissioning support, and turnover.

Candidates should be able to explain which systems and work packages they personally managed, the approximate value of that scope, and the outcomes for which they were accountable.

Pay, schedule, and location

• Hourly pay: $63–$70, based on experience.
• Per diem: $1,050/week if all eligibility requirements are met.
• Expected schedule: 55–66 hours per week.
• Project duration: Up to two years.
• Work location: Abilene, TX.
• Nationwide applicants welcome if willing and able to relocate for the project duration.
