At Jacobs, we’re challenging today’s problems to reinvent tomorrow by solving critical issues 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

At Jacobs, we challenge what is currently accepted, so we can shape innovative and lasting solutions for tomorrow. If you’re interested in a long and rewarding career working with the industry’s best and most innovative engineers, then Jacobs is where you belong. We are looking for a driven, well‑organized, and client‑focused Senior Civil Engineering Professional to grow with our team in our Cincinnati, Ohio, Cary, North Carolina, Conshohocken, PA or Indianapolis, IN office locations.

As a Senior Civil Engineering Professional you will collaborate closely with a full‑service EPCM team consisting of architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, construction managers, and other disciplines. You will lead civil engineering teams from Concept Design through Construction, as well as provide civil engineering input to our Jacobs Architecture Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) as they develop feasibility studies, concept designs, and masterplans.

We are looking for someone who is comfortable working directly with clients. A person who has a firm grasp of land development, zoning, and building codes, as well as best practices, and construction detailing – plus excellent organizational skills and proficiency in 3‑D analysis and modeling tools. An individual who is able to take civil engineering concepts and follow through with the necessary construction documentation, as well as coordinate with architecture and other in‑house engineering disciplines. Someone who can continue beyond the engineering phase to assist with permitting efforts and construction activities.

Bring your creativity, ambitious spirit, and extreme attention to detail, and we’ll help you grow, pursue, and fulfill what drives you – so we can deliver extraordinary solutions for a better tomorrow, together.

We value collaboration and believe that in‑person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work.
