Instrumentation & Controls/SCADA Project Manager
Corvallis, ORMarch 31st, 2026
Instrumentation & Controls Project ManagerAt 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.
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. The DB and DBO projects are typically for drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities in the Western United States. You'll be preparing scope and project fee for contracting, working with staff managers for assignment of project resources, approving material and subcontractor invoices for payment, preparing monthly client invoices, tracking change, and managing the delivery to meet the scope, schedule, and budget requirements. You could also be managing staff in multiple Jacobs' office and/or project locations. Our projects bring innovative solutions to our clients' water/wastewater challenges, locally and worldwide. The role will require a self-motivated, detail oriented, quality driven, team focused professional. Jacobs allows teleworking, but some in-office time will be required for developing relationships and coordinating with project staff. The role will require periodic travel.

- Working for a control system integrator
