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.

Your impact

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Water / Wastewater Design Engineer aligned with our Water Solution Center in Gainesville, FL. In this role, you will be a part of one of the largest water market delivery centers in the southern United States. You will lead the water and wastewater facility designs for conventional and design-build projects ranging from $1M to over $250M in construction and support diverse projects around the region. With a strong backlog in both water treatment and wastewater treatment projects, there are unlimited opportunities to focus on the technologies and growth that you desire.

While being in Gainesville is preferred in order to support mentoring and career opportunities for our design teams and enhance coordination and efficiency on our projects, a hybrid remote arrangement is feasible depending on experience in the market and demonstrated ability to successfully work as part of distributed teams. As the Senior Water / Wastewater Design Engineer at Jacobs, you will participate in all phases of delivery but provide focus on the following :

• Leadership of preliminary and detailed design of water and wastewater facilities including membrane systems, advanced wastewater treatment processes, pump stations, hydraulics, and piping.
• Quality control for project design in the office and around the region.
• Stewardship of our design tools and processes.
• Mentoring of staff including both engineers and designers.
