Houston, TX, United States Jacobs Full time

We're seeking mid-level design engineers with experience in sediment remediation design for federal and global private sector clients.

Based anywhere in the United States (preference towards the West or Midwest), you'll work with other scientists, engineers, subject matter experts, and project managers on exciting projects nationwide. You'll apply your technical experience in design related to sediment environmental remediation 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.
