Industry

Environmental

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 intermediate design engineers with a broad background in environmental site remediation for federal and global private sector clients.

Based anywhere in the United States, you’ll work with other scientists, engineers, subject matter experts, and project managers on exciting projects nationwide. You’ll apply your technical experience in the design of environmental remedial actions and/or remediation systems with the support of our global remediation technology team. Your analytical skills will be called upon as you evaluate site conditions, determine data needs, assess remedial alternatives, perform engineering calculations, and develop designs. You’ll use your technical writing skills to prepare work plans, reports, and design documents, including 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 Design Managers and discipline leads, but you will be called on to take ownership of assigned tasks. Most of your work will be office-based, but you may spend some time in the field supporting or overseeing the gathering of design data. Safety will be your priority, as you contribute to operational excellence and maintain the highest standards of Health & Safety and Environmental Compliance in everything you do.

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. By joining Jacobs, you’ll commit to supporting and engaging with these teams, as we work to build a company like no other. This is a Hybrid position where you’ll be afforded the flexibility to work from both the office as well as from home 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.

Here's what you'll need

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil, Environmental, or Geotechnical Engineering or other closely related engineering field.
  • Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification.
  • Knowledge and experience with environmental remediation technologies, systems, or remedial actions.
  • Minimum of 4 years of on-the-job experience in the environmental remediation industry, with the ability to provide project examples.
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience designing environmental remedial actions or remediation systems, with the ability to provide project examples.
  • On-the-job experience writing specifications, preparing basis of design reports, and preparing/developing design drawings.
  • Ability to communicate concisely and proactively, via written and verbal communications, with team members.
  • Ability to work remotely with teams located nationwide.
  • Based within the United States.

Ideally, You’ll Also Have:

  • Professional Engineer (P.E.) license or the ability to obtain and maintain.
  • Experience related to construction or operation of environmental remediation systems or remedial actions.
  • Experience performing and leading environmental field work for remediation projects and an understanding of methodology and procedures.
  • 40-hr OSHA HAZWOPER certification.
  • Experience working on active project sites and overseeing subcontractors and/or third-party construction contractors.
