Jacobs

We are seeking an experienced and results‑driven Senior Project Manager with a minimum of 10 years of experience in the Electrical Utility industry. This role will lead Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects that support utility infrastructure across North America.

  • Maintain detailed project schedules and critical path analysis.

  • Identify and mitigate cost or schedule risks.

Contract & Commercial Management

  • Administer EPC contracts, including change order management, claims resolution, and subcontractor oversight.

  • Ensure compliance with contractual requirements and project deliverables.

  • Support procurement teams in evaluating and managing subcontractors and vendors.

Safety & Quality Leadership

  • Promote and enforce a zero‑incident safety culture across all project phases.

  • Ensure conformance with OSHA, utility safety standards, and internal safety programs.

  • Maintain strict adherence to quality expectations throughout engineering, procurement, and construction activities.

Client & Stakeholder Management

  • Build and sustain strong relationships with utility clients, regulatory agencies, contractors, and internal teams.

  • Provide consistent project reporting, status updates, and executive‑level communication.
