Role 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.
As Cities & Places, we create thriving places across different scales: from regions to cities, neighbourhoods to individual buildings, by offering an integrated design approach. We have a tremendous opportunity to build upon strength to develop an interdisciplinary planning, design and delivery practice that is uniquely Jacobs, that sets the direction for the industry and is home to the very best and brightest design thinkers, disruptors, technical experts, visionaries and storytellers.
We’re looking for someone who can truly make an impact — and if you’re a Public Health Engineering expert with a passion for solving complex challenges, this could be the perfect fit.
With Jacobs’ expanding portfolio and long‑standing client relationships, you’ll be stepping into a team that’s working on everything from cutting‑edge research facilities and defence infrastructure to community decarbonisation, education, and international high‑tech projects. Your experience will help shape the future of these projects.
As a technical lead, you’ll bring your deep knowledge and practical insight to guide design delivery and integrate disciplines across multi‑layered projects. Your ability to translate technical complexity into clear, actionable plans will be key to ensuring smooth delivery and high‑quality outcomes.

Qualifications
* A strong technical background in the Public Health elements of Building Services Design, Construction and Procurement.
* Chartered Engineer and member of a recognised professional institution, CIBSE or CIPHE.
* Relevant experience in the design and specification of sustainable coordinated designs for potable water supply services, foul and rainwater drainage, sanitation systems and fire suppression systems in a variety of buildings.
