Design Oversite Manager (Operations) - Ocoee, FL

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 Design Oversite Manager As the Design Oversite Manager , you will shape how Florida’s Turnpike infrastructure performs for decades to come. This role serves as the authoritative voice for maintainability, operations, and lifecycle performance during project development. You will ensure that roadway, facilities, telecommunications, and supporting systems are designed not just to meet standards — but to be safe, serviceable, resilient, and cost-effective over their full lifecycle. You will influence projects before they are built, integrating real-world maintenance insight into engineering decisions, preventing costly rework, improving safety outcomes, and strengthening long-term asset performance across Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise (FTE). This is a high-visibility leadership role that collaborates across Maintenance, Construction, Production, Traffic Operations, Toll Systems, and executive leadership to deliver infrastructure that works in the field — not just on paper. The ideal candidate is a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with broad experience across design development, maintenance, and operations, and a passion for improving infrastructure through lifecycle thinking and cross-functional leadership. Primary Responsibilities Lead comprehensive maintainability, operational readiness, and constructability reviews of plans, specifications, and contract documents throughout all design phases (30/60/90/100%). Serve as the subject matter authority on lifecycle performance, ensuring infrastructure is safe, accessible, maintainable, and operationally sound prior to construction. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to provide input across Roadway Maintenance, Facilities, Telecommunications, Traffic Operations, Toll Systems, and related service areas. Evaluate designs prepared by internal and external partners to ensure compliance with FDOT and FTE standards, with emphasis on maintenance feasibility, safety, ADA, MOT, and operational impacts. Identify and resolve design conflicts affecting maintenance access, long-term asset performance, emergency response, and system reliability. Manage and consolidate Electronic Review Comments (ERC) for Operations, ensuring clarity, consistency, and timely resolution. Integrate lessons learned, field insights, and historical performance data into plan reviews to drive continuous improvement. Serve as a liaison between Maintenance, Construction, Production, and external partners to support coordinated project delivery. Participate in project meetings, design reviews, technical workshops, and coordination sessions as required. Conduct field reviews to validate design assumptions and assess real-world maintenance impacts. Support emergency management activities, including preparedness, response, and post-event infrastructure assessments. Promote safety, fiscal responsibility, and innovation in infrastructure delivery. Perform additional duties aligned with program and organizational objectives. Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities Demonstrated ability to apply lifecycle and maintainability principles to infrastructure projects. Strong coordination and relationship-building skills across multidisciplinary teams. Ability to analyze complex engineering plans, specifications, and technical documentation. Proficiency with Microsoft Office and engineering documentation systems. Objective application of FDOT/FTE standards, policies, and codes. Understanding of project management, coordination, and performance-driven decision-making. Why This Role Stands Out Unlike traditional plan review positions, this role directly influences how infrastructure performs in the field — reducing lifecycle costs, improving safety, and strengthening operational resilience across one of Florida’s most critical transportation systems.
