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.
Our bodies and environment all depend on water, it is the building block that supports all life. Water issues are becoming increasingly prominent as we struggle with disparity between water availability and demands, water pollution, and competition for limited water resources.
At Jacobs, we recognize these challenges and our engineers, scientists, and planners are working together with clients to find the right solutions to their water challenges. Jacobs has an opportunity for an Associate Water Engineer to join the team in Cairns.

You will collaborate with commercial, project management and technical leaders to create opportunities for Jacobs to plan, develop, deliver and operate a range of projects within the water infrastructure and associated markets. You will manage projects to make sure they are delivered on time, on budget and to client satisfaction. #JacobsWaterANZ #ANZTransport # APMETransport #LI-DG1
