You can do this with Pipeline scripts. An example might look something like this:

properties([
  parameters([
    stringParam(
      name: 'environment',
      defaultValue: 'dev', 
      description: 'Which build environment to run on.',
    ),
  ]),
])

node(params.environment) {
  // your build script here
}
