Power Construction Company | Diversity Employer

Who we build is as important as what we build.

WHO IS POWER?
Power Construction Company is a 97-year old family and management-owned firm that is focused primarily on the greater Chicago metro area.

Our unique business model and values-based approach means that our leaders are actively engaged, our employees build long-term careers and we foster trade partner relationships that drive customer value.  Most importantly, it's what allows us to fulfill our fundamental promise: to exceed expectations, every time.

LEAD WITH POWER
Power’s leaders are not afraid to get their boots muddy. Whether they’re in the office or the field, they take a hands-on approach with every project. 

An integral part of their role is to empower other team members and promote the kind of collaboration we know leads to success. Their passion for construction impacts everything they do, from providing clients real-time updates to taking a big-picture view that ensures expectations are exceeded.

Our longstanding tradition of growing from within means our leaders have internalized the Power beliefs and always focus on making clients and team members shine.

THE NATURE OF POWER
Above all, Power values relationships, people, innovation and creating a legacy that we stand by now and in the future. These beliefs guide everything we do - from recruiting top talent to integrating cutting-edge technology to giving back to our community.

We’re proud of accomplishments like our zero litigation track record, industry awards, and customer ratings. But none of that matters as much as improving the lives of our stakeholders - the people we work with and the ones who use our buildings every day. 

A big part of our culture is our commitment to exceeding expectations. We believe in our ability to always do better, accomplish more and improve upon our own best work. It’s this belief that drives innovation and keeps our clients coming back. 

Everything we do is designed to serve others. Whether we’re working on The Lurie Children’s Hospital or a luxury home in Lincoln Park, we focus on the practices that make our clients, partners and team members the heroes of every commercial construction project.  

DIVERSE BY DESIGN
At Power, “Diversity” is much more than just a corporate buzzword. We know that a diverse workplace – both in our offices and on our job sites – isn’t magically created by saying “we care.” 

It’s something we actively and intentionally work to achieve through hiring, community outreach, education, and creating a culture of inclusion for people of all backgrounds. Our commitment to diversity, inclusion and equity is inspired by a genuine belief that bringing different perspectives together makes for stronger outcomes.

YOUR CAREER

With hands on involvement start to finish, we exceed expectations, every time. We do it by following our beliefs—that relationships matter, a people driven company is key, finding a better way is possible, and the long-term counts.

When things work well, things last. And that’s our commitment to you.

OUR PEOPLE. OUR POWER.
Our history has always been to grow people and teams from within. Our culture celebrates an entrepreneurial spirit and we’ve never stopped looking for smart ways to evolve. It’s built into our DNA and the driving force behind our longevity. We continue to grow because our people continue to deliver.

TRAINING
With the help of a constantly evolving on-line library of lessons learned in our Power Playbook, our best practices will help you push beyond your learning curve quickly. All taught in-house, our robust catalog of technical and soft-skills training classes lean in towards building in The Power Way. Our legacy is the opportunity for people to be able to continue to grow and thrive.

MENTORS
We know it’s key to success. That’s why, regardless of whether you’re just starting your career or you’ve been at it for 20 years, you’ll be paired with a mentor right away. Our mentors are committed to providing support, coaching and guidance over the long-term through trusted and honest dialogue. It’s a two-way value exchange for a more satisfying career.
