Robust infrastructure establishes the backbone of productive, economically strong communities as assets essential to commerce, trade, public safety and quality of life.
It’s no wonder global national governments are focusing on modernizing aging infrastructure and post-pandemic economic stimulus. As an example, more than 80% of the $550B US Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is aligned with Jacobs’ Infrastructure market, with a further ~12% aligned with other Jacobs markets such as Energy & Environment and Advanced Manufacturing.
When it comes to designing investible infrastructure that addresses the big issues we face in the world—unprecedented urbanization, catastrophic climate threats and both human and natural resources constraints, there’s no partner more capable than us – after all, Engineering News-Record just named us the No. 1 Firm on their Top 500 Design Firms list for the fourth consecutive year.
To bring critical infrastructure programs to fruition, we work with communities to accelerate return-oriented infrastructure developments that make a clear case for sustainable outcomes.

Critical solutions for a brighter future
Transportation

We partner with our clients to provide solutions within and between the transport modes of aviation, highways, bridges, ports & maritime and rail & transit. And, our tunnel and ground engineering specialists and transport planners ensure we’re on board for every step of the journey.
Telecommunications

Jacobs designs and connects thousands of small cell installations nationwide and provides complete turn-key solutions from benchmarking to head-end installation and integration.
We provide new site designs, build existing site upgrades and modifications and offer operations and maintenance services to commercial clients including AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, as well as government customers including the Intelligence Community, DoD and state governments.
In addition, Jacobs can address fiber and coax engineering and construction for aerial (pole line) and underground cable placement for cable TV operators, independent phone companies and state and county governments, as well as cellular backhaul circuits for cellular phone companies.
Water

As water issues intensify, so does awareness of the effects of water management decisions. Decisions at one point in the water cycle affect all the others—from water supplies to treatment, conveyance, wastewater treatment, reuse and return to the natural environment.
Whether it’s treating, distributing or storing water, Jacobs reaches across boundaries and collaborates to successfully deliver customized, innovative solutions across drinking water & reuse, industrial water, wastewater, water conveyance & storage and water resources.
