You will be leading a multidisciplinary team to complete tasks within established schedules and budgets and help advance our business development strategies. You will also have the opportunity to mentor and coach early and mid‑career engineers and designers and to be mentored by senior staff.

Using your technical expertise, you’ll play an integral role in leading and mentoring staff, forming long‑term relationships with clients and pursuing new work, including strategy development, positioning, proposing, and negotiating contracts. At Jacobs, we’re partnering across the globe to create the best project outcomes by maximizing the design, digital technology, and support capabilities of our Global Integrated Delivery (GID) teammates.
