This is a hybrid all US location opportunity, allowing candidates the flexibility to work remotely and report into a local Jacobs office for team meetings and collaboration.

Working together, we’ll help you grow and pursue what fulfills you so that we can make impacts on the future – big and small, global and local.

Your role will include delivering excellence in all phases of projects, from planning through construction administration and close‑out, maintaining firm‑wide quality standards while working closely with technical leadership and engineering discipline leads to understand design intent and goals for successful implementation of various building design projects.

Our team is actively working on advanced technology facilities with our clients and producing cutting‑edge design solutions supporting the development of Open AI and other critical facilities. Join us in growing our team in this exciting market. Bring your passion for innovation, ambitious spirit, and expertise. We’ll help you thrive, pursue, and fulfill what inspires you – so we can make big impacts on the world together.

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.
