Job description

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. We are seeking mid‑level design engineers with a broad background in environmental site remediation for federal and global private sector clients.

Based in the West Coast of 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.

• 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.

Preferred Qualifications

• 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.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to document design decisions and action items.

Employees have access to medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance, a 401(k) plan, and the ability to purchase company stock at a discount. Eligible employees may also enroll in a deferred compensation plan or the Executive Deferral Plan. Jacobs has an unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) policy for full‑time salaried/exempt employees, seven paid holidays, and caregiver leave.
