At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.
Your impact
Jacobs is much more than just a traditional engineering company and we’re pushing the limits of what’s possible. We stay ahead to create the new standards our future needs and therefore in preparation of approaching infrastructure funds, we’d like the opportunity to start conversations regarding our team and how we differentiate ourselves in the market.
We are seeking a candidate with a strong history of delivering culvert and standard bridge projects for TEC.

When you join us, you’ll serve in a Project Management role on bridge design projects and oversee multi-disciplined design team and engineering teams.
We’ll challenge you with growth opportunities such as business development, client presentations, proposal preparation, estimating project costs, contract negotiations, and overseeing and ensuring that project quality, schedule, and budget requirements are met – all of which help ensure the successful delivery of the project from beginning to end.
The successful candidate will possess knowledge and experience in:
- Planning, analysis including use of structural modeling software, design, plan preparation, specification development, bridge inspections, and report writing.
- Must be comfortable being viewed as a technical resource for engineering analysis and design of bridges and have a proven background of technical leadership on structural transportation projects.
- General understanding of related disciplines, traffic, and geotechnical engineering is a plus.
- Successful team project experience coordinating the activities on bridge transportation engineering projects to ensure that goals or objectives of these projects are accomplished within prescribed time frame and funding parameters.
- Establishing work plans and multi-disciplinary staffing for each phase of a project and assisting in assignment of project personnel. Comfortable working as a team directing and coordinating the activities of Project Engineers, Engineers, and Technicians to ensure project progresses on schedule and within prescribed budget.
- Should be active in technical societies and be available to attend meetings or events outside normal working hours.
- Experience in a teamwork environment and supervising junior engineers and technicians.
At Jacobs, we’re partnering across the globe to create the best project outcomes by maximizing the design, digital technology, and support capabilities of our Global Integrated Delivery (GID) teammates.
By joining Jacobs, you’ll commit to supporting and engaging with these teams, as we work to build a company like no other. Let’s engineer for a brighter future together!
