Mid-Level Sediment Remediation Engineer

Overview

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.

Your impact

We’re seeking a mid-level engineer that holds a Minnesota Professional Engineer license (current and in good standing) with experience in environmental remediation for federal and global private sector clients. Based in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro area, you’ll work with other scientists, engineers, subject matter experts, and project managers on exciting projects nationwide. You’ll apply your technical experience in environmental remediation projects with the support of our global remediation technology team.

Your analytical skills will be called upon as you evaluate site conditions, determine data needs, and oversee remediation work. You’ll use your technical writing skills to prepare work plans, reports, and interpret and enforce design specifications. You’ll learn from other experienced staff who are ready to mentor you, and you’ll pass your knowledge on to others. As a mid-level Engineer, you’ll be directed by Project and Design Managers and discipline leads, but you will be called on to take ownership of assigned tasks.

For your first two years, the bulk of your responsibilities will be spent onsite at a major dredging project location in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area, providing full-time quality control oversight of sediment dredging, sampling, dewatering, and disposal activities. This site work will take place from August 2026 to December 2026 and then resume again in 2027 from April to December. While most of your work will be seasonally field-based for 2026 and 2027 on this specific project, your work during other times will be primarily office-based.

You may also have opportunities to spend some time in the field at other project sites supporting or overseeing the gathering of site characterization or design data. Safety will always be your first priority, as you contribute to operational excellence and maintain the highest standards of Health & Safety and Environmental Compliance in everything you do.

This is a Hybrid position where you’ll be afforded the flexibility to work from both the office as well as from home (when not in the field) as best suited to meet project delivery goals while maintaining balance.

Continue your environmental career at Jacobs – where we’ll empower you to learn and grow as you deliver environmental projects that make our world better.
