As the energy landscape evolves, organizations are increasingly investing in resilient, efficient, and sustainable energy solutions.

If you're a driven Project Manager who thrives on leading complex projects, building strong client relationships, and delivering impactful solutions, we'd love to hear from you.

The Opportunity

Our COES team delivers planning, engineering, and design services across the full energy ecosystem, helping clients achieve their operational, resilience, and sustainability goals. Our work includes

  • Utility master planning
  • Feasibility studies and business case development
  • Central utility plants
  • Electrical substations
  • Microgrids and distributed energy systems
  • Electrical distribution systems
  • Thermal Energy Networks (TENs)
  • District heating and cooling systems
  • Campus and community energy infrastructure

As a Project Manager, you will lead multidisciplinary teams through the successful delivery of complex energy projects from planning and design through execution. You'll collaborate with industry-leading technical experts, engage directly with executive-level clients, and help shape the future of customer-owned energy systems.

What You'll Do

As a Project Manager, you will be responsible for the successful delivery of complex Customer Owned Energy Systems projects, managing all aspects of project execution including scope, schedule, budget, quality, risk, and resource management. You will lead multidisciplinary engineering and design teams, develop and implement project delivery strategies, and proactively address challenges to achieve project objectives. Serving as the primary point of contact for clients, you will build trusted relationships, understand business needs, and provide clear communication to stakeholders, often executive-level leadership.

You will oversee project financial performance through forecasting, cost control, Estimate-at-Completion (EAC) reporting, and Earned Value Management (EVM) practices. In partnership with Jacobs' Global Integrated Delivery (GID) teams, you will leverage global expertise and digital capabilities to deliver innovative, efficient, and high-quality solutions that create lasting value for our clients.

What Makes This Role Exciting

This is an opportunity to be at the forefront of the rapidly evolving energy sector, helping clients modernize critical infrastructure and achieve ambitious resilience, sustainability, and decarbonization goals.
