Jacobs Associates Welcomes Paroline

Shawn Paroline recently joined Jacobs Associates as a Lead Associate in the Claims Group. He is based in Southern California, working out of both the Pasadena and San Diego offices. He has more than 17 years of experience in construction management and program management for public works infrastructure. Paroline is highly regarded by his clients for critical thinking, anticipating contractibility issues, proposing avoidance measures, and advising responses in contentious dispute environments on complex water pipelines, pump stations, treatment plants, tunnels, roads, dams and bridges.

Paroline specializes in preparing contract phasing language for complex projects, turnaround of troubled projects, contemporaneous schedule review and monitoring, change management, claims avoidance, delay analysis, and developing CPM scheduling specifications. He has served as either construction manager, chief schedule engineer or claims analyst on several major California public works building and civil infrastructure programs each in excess of $2 billion.

He has represented owners, contractors and design engineers. Paroline is very active with the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) and is a frequent speaker. He recently moderated a panel at CMAA’s 2011 national conference in Washington, D.C., where he presented a white paper titled, “Leveraging for Realignment: Fundamental Practices for Troubled Projects.” Paroline served for eight years on CMAA San Diego Chapter’s board of directors and currently sits on CMAA’s national government affairs committee.
