At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical infrastructure challenges.

From modernizing port terminals to designing innovative coastal structures, you'll help lead technical delivery on projects that make a lasting impact.

In this role, you'll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across Jacobs to support and lead structural engineering efforts for a wide range of ports and maritime projects.
