World MS Day, is celebrated on May 30 each year. It brings the global MS community together to share stories, raise awareness and campaign with everyone affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). In honor of World MS Day, we connected with three Jacobs team members who shared their personal stories.

Jacobs has been appointed as the design consultant for the design and construction of the Tavistock Station and Tunnels, as part of the Cross Island Line Phase 1 project in Singapore. Constructed in three phases, the Cross Island Line is Singapore's eighth Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line with the longest fully underground network. It will serve existing and future developments in the eastern, north-eastern and western corridors – linking major hubs and interchanges and make commuting across the rail network more convenient and efficient.

Jacobs worked with the Environment Agency and supply chain partners to research the use of concrete in the U.K. and recommend ways to further reduce carbon in construction.

For this feature, we caught up with Ian Sharpe, our technical director for program advisory in Australia and New Zealand, to understand the importance of program management, how it helps manage multiple projects and interdependencies effectively, and the role digital technologies play in successful program delivery.

Our professional divers work on the coolest projects. What if we told you that we’re helping to preserve and restore corals and other reef ecology in the waters off Vieques, Puerto Rico using innovative, synthetic mini-reefs referred to as “Coral Arks”?

Would you rather work in an office, or under the sea? Meet Engineer Diver Group Lead Robert Garrity as we discuss his love of engineer diving, the ocean and his team.

Engineering News-Record has ranked Jacobs No. 1 in its list of Top 500 Design Firms. Widely considered the industry benchmark, the annual list ranks both publicly and privately held U.S. companies, based on revenue for design-specific services performed in the previous year. Jacobs has held a top five position in the Top 500 list since ENR’s rankings began in 2003, and we’re proud to retain the top spot for a fifth consecutive year.

This year, we celebrated AAPI Heritage Month with two of our leaders – Julie Chang and Chen Chen – who shared their insights around belonging and how their Asian heritage has helped shape their careers at Jacobs. Get to know Julie and Chen in this Q&A.

Jacobs has been selected by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to study the feasibility of consolidating four aging wastewater resource recovery facilities into a new state-of-the-art one billion+ gallon-per-day facility on New York's Rikers Island.

New York City is studying whether it can reimagine the future of Rikers Island — currently a jail complex — into a wastewater resource recovery and renewable energy hub that could free up precious land for urban transformation.

Did you know that transportation accounts for approximately one quarter of all CO2 emissions globally and, in the U.S., it’s the highest CO2 emitting sector? Helping society transition to a net zero economy by 2050 is one of Jacobs’ key commitments in our PlanBeyond℠ 2.0 sustainable business strategy so we’re thrilled to be part of a consortium chosen by the Michigan Department of Transportation and led by Electreon to develop and implement an inductive vehicle charging pilot — the first of its kind in the U.S.

England’s National Highways has announced its preferred bidder for the main construction work for the A303 scheme past Stonehenge, with Jacobs included as part of the design consortium together with Atkins and SENER. Read more about the scheme in this article.
