Full job description

At Jacobs, we don't settle - always looking beyond to raise the bar and deliver with excellence. We apply our expertise and knowledge as we look into the future with great optimism and focus. We're looking for a driven and organized Project Manager/Senior Architect in our Cities & Places market to be located in the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area.

This role is more than project delivery. It is a unique opportunity to help build and expand Jacobs' Cities & Places presence in the Las Vegas market. We are seeking an entrepreneurial leader who is energized by developing client relationships, identifying new opportunities, growing market visibility, and helping shape a long-term regional strategy while delivering exceptional projects.

Project delivery strategies include design/bid/build, design build, and Integrated Project Delivery, and are often highly collaborative with the client, general contractor, and trade partners.

As a member of our team, you will lead building design projects consisting of multi-discipline teams. You'll play an integral role in forming long-term relationships with clients and pursuing new work, including strategy development, identifying opportunities, assessing risks, implementing mitigation strategies, and positioning, proposing, and negotiating contracts.

You'll help others by guiding them forward, participating in directing growth and strategic planning as part of the Company's management team. You will also help establish and strengthen Jacobs' presence in Southern Nevada through business development, community engagement, and collaboration with regional partners and stakeholders.

As an essential function of the position and as a business necessity, this role requires regular travel by motor vehicle to client sites, project locations, and other work-related destinations in connection with the performance of assigned duties and responsibilities. Accordingly, a valid driver's license and an acceptable driving record are required for this position.

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 teammates.
