Structural EIT – Buildings & Transportation Facilities

At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission‑critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting‑edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

Our top ENR‑ranked Ports & Maritime team is seeking a Lead Port Electrical Engineer to manage and lead our team of electrical engineers to delivery projects that expand, modernize, optimize, and decarbonize marine cargo and passenger terminals, urban waterfronts, and maritime industrial facilities all over the world. You would join a team that has an insatiable curiosity about solutions to move people and goods safely and efficiently through marine cargo and passenger terminals, enhancing global trade and connectivity.

Your efforts will be primarily focused on the implementation of electrical designs for the electrification and decarbonization of public and private cargo terminals, and the design of electrical distribution systems, cathodic protection, and lighting for these facilities. You will work with a team of multi‑disciplinary engineers and planners as the lead port electrical engineer to manage the development and/or review electrical plans, drawings, cost estimates, schedules, reports, and specifications.

In addition to delivering projects, you will support the regional, national, and global Ports & Maritime team with proposals involving the electrification of waterfront facilities, low and medium voltage electrical, and cathodic protection design.

As a Structural EIT on the New Jersey Transportation structural team, you will have the opportunity to work on complex transportation and infrastructure projects, focusing on buildings and facilities such as rail/bus stations, maintenance depots, airport terminals and waterfront structures. Projects will include both new structures and retrofits, designing with steel, concrete, and masonry, and will involve collaboration with other disciplines and consultants outside of Jacobs.
