At Jacobs, we’re transforming the aviation industry by delivering safe, innovative, and resilient airfield and airport infrastructure. As a member of the team, you will play a key role supporting our growing U.S. West Aviation team across planning, design, and delivery of aviation projects.

You’ll collaborate with project managers, engineers, architects, contractors, and client stakeholders to advance airfield improvements, airport expansions, and civil‑site development efforts. This role is ideal for emerging professionals who bring strong leadership, engineering fundamentals, and a desire to grow within a global, mission‑driven organization.

Key Responsibilities:

Project Management & Coordination

•Support aviation project managers in planning, scheduling, and coordinating project activities across multi‑discipline engineering teams.

•Develop and maintain project schedules, deliverable trackers, meeting agendas, action logs, status reports, and client presentations.

•Facilitate coordination meetings, interface with internal stakeholders, and assist with project communication across engineering, design, and construction groups.

•Assist with risk identification, mitigation strategies, and change tracking throughout the project lifecycle.

•Support the preparation of proposals, cost estimates, work plans, and other project control documentation.

•Contribute to Jacobs’ culture of safety, quality, and continuous improvement.

Engineering Design Support

•Assist engineers with the preparation of design drawings, layouts, and technical documents for aviation civil engineering projects, including runways, taxiways, aprons, drainage, grading, and site development.

•Use tools such as AutoCAD and Civil3D to support design tasks, redlines, quantity takeoffs, and drafting.

•Conduct engineering analysis using FAARFIELD or other analytical tools consistent with Jacobs design workflows.

•Participate in the development of engineering reports, calculations, and specifications following FAA, UFC, or ICAO design criteria.

•Assist with construction administration tasks such as reviewing submittals, supporting field reviews, and documenting project progress.

Operational & Logistical Support

•Support planning and coordination of complex logistical sequences related to construction phasing, airfield access, equipment mobilization, and multi‑team operations.

•Collaborate with contractors, subconsultants, and aviation authorities to support project execution.

•Support development of standard operating procedures, program‑level documentation, and process improvements within the aviation group.

•Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Mechanical, or related engineering discipline.

•Strong technical foundation in engineering analysis, systems design, or civil/airfield engineering fundamentals.

•Proficiency with AutoCAD, FAARFIELD, MATLAB, Microsoft Excel/Word/PowerPoint, and basic project management tools.

•Excellent communication, organization, and leadership skills.

•Ability to work collaboratively within interdisciplinary project teams.

•Demonstrated ability to coordinate multiple tasks and maintain attention to detail in a fast‑paced environment.

Ideally, you'll also have:

•Internship or hands‑on experience supporting aviation, transportation, civil, or infrastructure projects.

•Exposure to Civil3D or similar design tools used in aviation/civil engineering.

•Familiarity with FAA, UFC, or ICAO standards and criteria.

•Experience supporting logistics coordination, operational planning, or multi‑team project execution (military or civilian).

•Engineer‑in‑Training (EIT/FE) certification, or ability to obtain within 12 months.

•CAPM, PMP, or interest in pursuing project management certification.
