Job description

Here at Jacobs, we apply our expertise and knowledge as we look into the future with great optimism and focus. We don’t settle until we give our best and know that we’re making a difference.

We’re seeking to hire 3 Turnover Managers for onsite roles at one of our data center projects. We’ll hire a Turnover Manager at our project in Spartanburg, SC; our project in Saint Francisville, LA and our project in Robstown, TX.

As a Turnover Manager, you’ll be responsible for managing a diverse team, coordinating and facilitating the field verification and documentation of systems installed by Construction. This will be achieved through leadership of walkdown activities on an active construction site, guiding construction, subcontractor, and client personnel through the scope of multi-discipline systems. Additionally, you will be responsible for active collaboration with field Quality and sub-contractors, ensuring adherence to testing and documentation requirements, and confirming the completion of pre-commissioning activities such as megger and continuity, testing and balancing, chemical cleaning and flushing, passivation, and pressure testing. You will also utilize the ACC digital platform for a variety of activities, including punchlist entry and tracking, reviews of system testing, and the assembly of construction turnover packages. In coordination with the project controls and construction teams, you will also provide a planned and documented approach for the final turnover of facilities, systems, and equipment to the CQV team in accordance with the P6 schedule. Successful management experience in a fast-paced construction environment is desired.

You and your team will be accountable for coordinating with the construction and CQV groups to provide logical system and partial system boundaries that facilitate timely installation, construction completion, and turnover activities. You’ll be responsible for reading P&IDs, line diagrams, panel layouts, and CSA drawings as per system scope requirements. Coordination with the field construction quality team to resolve issues identified on system walkdowns is a key component of this role, fostering a positive and problem-solving culture. In this capacity, you will also be responsible for implementing and standardizing turnover programs across multiple sites, ensuring consistency in processes, documentation, and quality standards while adapting to site-specific requirements. This will allow you and your team to lead the timely transfer of care, custody, and control of systems to our clients.

Bring your drive, talent for multi-tasking and collaboration, and extreme organizational skills and we’ll help you grow, pursue and fulfill what drives you – so we can make big impacts on the world, together.

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience

• Familiarity with GDP Requirements
• Experience implementing turnover programs across multiple sites simultaneously
• Ability to standardize processes and procedures across different geographical locations
