- This is a natural extension of our firm's mission to provide a complete solution to all phases of a project, from planning through design and construction," said the director of JACM, Rafael Castro, a Principal with Jacobs Associates, and currently serving as project manager for DC Water's Clean Rivers Project in Washington DC.
- Since making announcement of the reorganization the new division has moved quickly to make the first in what it says will be a series of strategic hires to expand the CM leadership team.
