Senior Airfield Civil Engineer & Design Manager

Jacobs

As a vital member of our Aviation team, you’ll have the chance to work on challenging projects where we’ll depend on your expertise and knowledge of aviation design. You’ll grow professionally with us as we rise together on impactful airfield projects with a high degree of technical complexity from the concept stage through detailed design and construction services. As a Sr. Airfield Civil Engineer & Design Manager, you’ll leverage your design skills to help lead team members to work as part of a project team to plan, design, and review drawings and specifications for exciting and engaging large-scale Aviation projects (Taxiways, Runaways, Airfield, Aprons, etc.). You’ll work with the best Engineers and Project Managers in the business and will be empowered to deliver the boldest solutions for everyday living.

If you want to join a company invested in you and your success, join Jacobs as an Sr. Airfield Civil Engineer & Design Manager in Texas.

We'll Ask You To:

• Provide and manage design efforts throughout all stages of a project (Project Definition, Concept Design, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, Construction Administration) to ensure that projects remain on schedule and on budget. On occasion this may include managing and mentoring a team of junior engineers working on the project.

• Coordinate with internal & external stakeholders to align the project design documents with the project objectives and stakeholder expectations.

• Prepare design submittals that are complete, accurate, and in conformance with the applicable project requirements.

• Lead or play a key role in presentation of design elements from projects to clients and stakeholders. This may include preparing presentations with the support of the design team and Project Manager.

• On occasion provide peer review of design submittals and provide critical & constructive feedback to the design team. This may include reviewing & commenting on conformance to applicable codes & regulations, industry standards, and unique owner performance requirements.

• Solicit feedback from internal and external project stakeholders, and guide design teams through competing interests and projects constraints to ensure the best possible design-outcomes with respect to quality, cost, schedule, sustainability, resiliency, innovation, use-experience, constructability, operational flexibility, maintainability, etc.

• On occasion, conduct on-site inspections of on-going construction projects to verify compliance with the design.

• Independently lead designs on multiple concurrent projects, without direct daily oversight and task assignment.
