Your impact

Join us at Jacobs as an Instrumentation & Controls Project Manager where you'll provide project management services for Instrumentation and Control (I&C) / Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system implementation projects in the drinking water and wastewater industry. Using your experience, your primary focus will be management of regional I&C / SCADA projects across the Northwest, including master planning, design, and SCADA software programming. Your secondary focus or growth opportunity may include management of Jacobs' design-build (DB) and design-build-operate (DBO) projects, where I&C/SCADA delivery, including material procurement and detailed control panel design, is self-performed by Jacobs staff.
