Travis Hamby
Travis Hamby, a project manager with Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., has successfully completed the Design-Build Institute of America’s education, training and certification testing program to achieve the design-build industry’s designation as a nationally certified Associate Design-Build Professional.
Mr. Hamby currently leads the local Jacobs team in the owner advisor role for the Design-Build of the joint City of Chattanooga’s and Hamilton County Wastewater Treatment Authority’s Large Equalization Station Project, locally known as the e2i2 Project.
He has 12 years of hands-on experience with project management, design and facilities planning for a wide range of water resources projects. His specialties include utility asset management, master planning, design and construction administration. He joined Jacobs in 2020.
Officials said, "DBIA Certification is the nation’s only measurable standard of an individual’s knowledge of the Design-Build Done Right principles vital to successful project delivery. By completing these requirements, which touch on all aspects of design-build, candidates earn the right to display 'Assoc. DBIA' after their names, identifying them as experienced design-build professionals."
“Travis's passion for a clean environment and a Clear Chattanooga has made him determined to be the best advocate, engineer and practitioner possible. Obtaining his DBIA certification further enables him to successfully lead large environmental compliance projects that will positively impact our community for years to come,” Mike Marino, PE, senior program manager, said.
“DBIA’s Designated Design-Build Professional certification program has grown exponentially over the years, mirroring the growth of the entire design-build industry. In fact, many public and private owner solicitations now expressly encourage the inclusion of team members with DBIA Certification in their expanding number of design-build projects. DBIA is proud to offer the industry’s gold standard in education and to continue to certify record numbers of dedicated design-build professionals each year,” said Lisa Washington, DBIA executive director/CEO
Three to six years substantial design and construction experience is an additional prerequisite for Designated Associate Design-Build Professional certification. Maintaining the credential requires a minimum of 24 hours of continuing education credit every two years.
