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.
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.

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.
In the 1970s Laurel Thatcher Ulrich coined the phrase, "Well-behaved women seldom make history." We think that's the case for our engineers too. Let's get to know the women who recently represented our Jacobs team at the 55th annual American Council of Engineering Companies Engineering Excellence Awards in Washington, D.C.
The ongoing climate crisis, growing inequality and more recently the global pandemic, have put into sharp focus the need to “build back better” - immediately. To achieve this, executive sponsors and infrastructure program and project teams must aim to deliver transformative outcomes at every investment opportunity.
