At Jacobs, we don’t settle – always looking beyond to raise the bar and deliver with excellence. We apply our expertise and knowledge as well look into the future with great optimism and focus. We don’t settle until we give our best and know that we’re making a difference.

Jacobs has an exciting opportunity to support our Operations Management & Facilities Services (OMFS) projects & business across the U.S. as a Regional Business Analyst and have a direct hand in challenging today and reinventing tomorrow! As the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Regional Business Analyst, you’ll be working with operational delivery managers and our clients to support various O&M projects to include water & wastewater treatment plants, city services, and/or facilities services.

Your role as a Project Controls professional (Regional Business Analyst) will be to focus on risk management, financial analysis, and accounting support. This will include managing a portfolio of project financials (including but not limited to budgeting, forecasting, revenue/GM recognition, and performance variance analysis), as well as some accounting duties related to accruals and true‑up of financials (monthly, quarterly and annual closeouts).

Your success in this role will also be greatly attributed to your partnership with a variety of internal stakeholders including project managers, regional and corporate leadership, the OMFS commercial team, sales, contracts, purchasing, and accounting.

Other focuses will include identifying and mitigating risks that could negatively impact project success and profitability.

You’ll also travel to project sites (when required) and regional meetings to engage directly with the teams on a case‑by‑case basis.
