Tim McKay

Recently named as Jacobs’ Transit Market Director in the Americas, Tim McKay brings extensive experience demonstrated over a 40-year career leading strategic planning, design, construction, communications, railroad management, real estate and development, quality, safety, interface management/system integration, alternative/collaborative project delivery, dispute resolution, negotiation strategies, project and program management teams on large scale transportation (rail, transit, aviation, roads and bridges, and water) projects. His proven leadership skills include advising, consulting, directing and implementing policies, programs and operating strategies related to transportation systems across the country. His achievements are grounded on the application of a personal philosophy of success through teamwork, collaboration and old-fashioned hard work, while fostering creativity in meeting the needs of a diverse populace.

Personally, Tim and his wife, Pam, have been married for 35 years, and they have one daughter, Gracen, who is a college sophomore training to become a nurse. Tim is an avid sportsman and holds a professional dive status of Dive Master and a non-professional status of Master Diver. He coached basketball in the city leagues and Upwards program for 30 years and wrestled a black bear as part of an exhibition during his freshman year in college, which parallels most large, complex, public projects in that you do not stop to rest when you are tired, you stop when the bear is tired.
