Titan Electric is powering the future by helping build the data centers and critical systems people rely on every day!
As an Assistant Project Manager on our Mission Critical team, you will help keep data center and critical facility projects organized, moving, and ready for the next milestone. You will work beside Project Managers, Superintendents, field leaders, vendors, and owners to track documents, coordinate details, solve small problems before they become big ones, and support the day-to-day rhythm of complex electrical construction work.
This is not a paper-pushing role. It is a front-row seat to how high-pressure, schedule-driven electrical projects get built safely and correctly. If you like details, deadlines, people, field coordination, and learning how major projects come together, this role gives you the room to grow into a Project Manager.
What You'll Help Build
You will support mission critical electrical construction projects, including data centers and other facilities where uptime, quality, safety, and schedule discipline matter. Your work will help the project team stay aligned on drawings, submittals, RFIs, change orders, procurement, manpower needs, owner updates, and closeout requirements.
Here’s What Might Happen on a Typical Day
- You review yesterday’s field updates and help the Project Manager identify what needs attention before the morning coordination meeting.
- You track RFIs, submittals, drawing updates, and meeting notes so the team is working from the right information.
- You follow up with vendors or internal teams on material status, delivery dates, and missing documentation.
- You help prepare project reports that show schedule risks, open items, change order status, and upcoming deadlines.
- You walk the site with project leadership to better understand what is being built, what is changing, and what support the field needs next.
- You help organize closeout documents, punch list items, O&M manuals, warranties, and owner turnover packages.
What Success Looks Like
In this role, success means the Project Manager has reliable information, the field has fewer roadblocks, and the project team can trust that details are being tracked. You are successful when open items are visible, deadlines are not a surprise, documentation is clean, and people know what they need to do next.
Skills That Matter Here
- You have supported construction projects and understand how drawings, schedules, RFIs, submittals, change orders, and field coordination connect.
- You can organize a large amount of project information without losing the small details that protect the schedule.
- You are comfortable communicating with Project Managers, Superintendents, Foremen, vendors, subcontractors, and customers in a clear and professional way.
- You know how to follow up without waiting to be reminded, especially when missing information could slow down the field.
- You can use project management tools, spreadsheets, email, and document control systems to keep work moving.
- You are willing to learn from the field, ask smart questions, and build the judgment needed to manage larger project responsibilities over time.
Minimum Requirements
- Working knowledge of project documentation such as RFIs, submittals, schedules, meeting minutes, procurement logs, change orders, and closeout packages.
- Ability to read construction drawings and understand basic project sequencing.
- Strong follow-up habits, clear written communication, and the ability to manage multiple open items at once.
- Comfort working in both office and active construction site environments.
- Ability to travel to project sites as needed.
Preferred Qualifications
- Electrical construction experience, especially with power distribution, low voltage systems, controls, commissioning support, or data center environments.
- Experience with Procore, Bluebeam, Microsoft Project, Primavera P6, Accubid, or similar construction tools.
- Internship, co-op, field, estimating, project engineering, or assistant project management experience with an electrical contractor.
- OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification.
Who This Role Is Built For
This role is built for someone who wants more than a desk job and more than a clipboard title. It is for someone who wants to understand the work, earn trust with the field, support the customer, and grow into bigger project leadership responsibility. If you are organized, curious, steady under pressure, and serious about building a career in electrical construction, you may be a strong fit.
