Jacobs. A world where you can.

We’re taking on unprecedented challenges. Work and projects are increasingly integrated with a broader global reach than ever before. We plan for today in everything we do while looking at how those decisions impact tomorrow.

At Jacobs, there’s no limit to who you can be and what we can achieve. And to make that real, we must each grow and evolve our skills and experiences, take on new endeavors and assignments, and share what we know and experience with others so we’re all able to build on the lessons we’re discovering along the way.

Whether rethinking a simple process or solving one of the toughest challenges, our people are our competitive advantage by advancing our thinking, pushing inventive and trailblazing ideas forward and delivering extraordinary solutions for a better tomorrow.

At Jacobs, we expand the limits for what’s possible today and a constantly changing environment requires each of us to be nimble and adaptable to changes ahead.

To help better equip our team, we’ve developed The Essentials as a foundation for our employees to build on their technical skills for a constantly changing environment. These essential human skills – across three categories, end user focused, open to change and make it visible – will prepare our team with the skills that allow them to: positively disrupt delivery models, provide strategic clarity and offer new ways of working, build adaptability and increase resilience to change. This curated set of 10 essential skills equips our teammates to better explore change, innovate and identify opportunities for growth – both for Jacobs and for their personal career journeys.
