You will collaborate with our technical leadership, operations, client account managers and sales professionals on pursuits of strategic importance to the firm, and in the internal promotion of geothermal energy as a possible solution for our existing multi-sector client base. You'll be expected to demonstrate collaboration and high levels of communication and problem-solving skills.

The overall energy & power market, and the geothermal market in particular, is experiencing an increase in activity with strong development growth. Jacobs has a long history of providing advisory and design services to clients and is looking to further strengthen our team in this space.
