$119.8k - $273.3k

Jacobs Solutions

Project Manager

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.

As global needs for wastewater collection and treatment intensify, solving the world's most complex wastewater challenges demands different thinking – and that's where we come in.

We're not just solving wastewater challenges; we're transforming how communities thrive. At Jacobs, we're looking for a visionary Project Manager to join our Northern California team who is ready to lead the charge in designing the next generation of wastewater infrastructure. If you've got deep experience in wastewater and a passion for making a real-world impact, this is your moment.

What You'll Do:

  • Spearhead planning, design, and construction services for cutting-edge wastewater projects, from pipelines to pump stations to treatment facilities.
  • Lead master plans and technical studies that shape the future of water recovery.
  • Mentor our rising talent and build lasting client relationships that drive innovation.
  • Take the reins on strategy, marketing, and contract negotiations to win transformative work.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and tap into Jacobs' powerhouse network of technical experts.

Why this role is essential:

  • You'll be at the forefront of solving some of the most complex environmental challenges of our time.
  • You'll build your career in a company that champions creativity, leadership, and bold ideas.
  • You will help grow our Northern California water resource recovery practice, and work with the best team in the business while doing it.
  • You'll help shape resilient, sustainable communities, one project at a time.

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.

Here's what you'll need:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Civil, Chemical, Mechanical engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) Licensure from the State of California or ability to obtain within 12 months.
  • Demonstrated understanding of wastewater collection and conveyance systems, pump stations, and treatment facilities.
  • Strong communication skills.
  • Demonstrated self-starter.
  • Project management experience for wastewater utility projects, along with related master planning, design, and project development experience.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop relationships with clients and win work.

Ideally, you'll also have:

  • 10+ years of experience.
  • Strong network with Northern California municipalities and exceptional client-facing skills.
  • Enthusiasm for mentoring and inspiring collaboration across teams.
