Meet Rohit Motwani

With a passion for delivering major infrastructure projects, Rohit Motwani leads high-impact programs that shape cities and communities — from Grand Central Madison and High Frequency Rail in Canada to the $6 billion Amtrak Frederick Douglass Tunnel program, where he currently serves as Chief of Staff after leading initiation efforts as Program Initiation Director.

A program manager and civil engineer with more than a decade of experience, Rohit has delivered global megaprojects in complex technical, geographic and stakeholder environments. 

Today, he leads program initiation for Jacobs’ most critical infrastructure efforts across the Americas East region, including the Rebuild USVI program focused on recovery and reconstruction in the U.S. Virgin Islands following hurricanes Irma and Maria. On the Frederick Douglass Tunnel program, he provides cross-functional oversight across program operations, design management, program controls, commercial management, stakeholder engagement and rail systems integration. 

Previously, Rohit helped integrate all components of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Grand Central Madison project — one of the largest transportation infrastructure programs in the U.S. at the time — to support the expansion of the Long Island Railroad. In New York City, he also led development across 14 locations for the New York City Housing Authority, implementing capital improvements across all five boroughs. 

Rohit holds a master’s degree in business administration in major infrastructure delivery from University College London’s Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction and a master’s in construction management from Carnegie Mellon University.
