The Jacobs Returnship Program is designed for talented professionals looking to restart their careers after an extended career break and absence from the workforce. A "returnship" is a re-entry program that provides on-the-job experience and training to help professionals transition back into the workforce after an extended hiatus.
Our inaugural global program in 2023 welcomed participants in myriad countries around the world. With our first cohort of returnees achieving great success as valued members of the global Jacobs community, new locations continue to be activated. Jacobs is an employer of choice for diverse talent, and we see inclusion and diversity as differentiators that enable us to bring more innovative thought and solutions to our people and clients alike.
This is a paid, 16-week initiative intending to transition our returners to permanent placement. With available opportunities that are as diverse as our business is, our cohort of Returnship participants will join multidisciplinary teams across a variety of divisions.

About Jacobs
From our inclusive employee networks to our positive mental health champions – we're committed to driving a culture of caring where you can be you. With safety and flexibility always top of mind, we've gone beyond traditional ways of working, which will help you uncover a flexible working arrangement that delivers the support, means, and space to maximize your potential.
We aim to embed inclusion and diversity in everything we do. We know that if we are inclusive, we're more connected, and if we are diverse, we're more creative. We accept people for who they are, regardless of age, disability, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, mental health, race, faith or belief, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, and whether you're pregnant or on family leave. This is reflected in our wide range of global employee networks centered on inclusion and diversity – ACE, Careers, Enlace, Harambee, OneWorld, Prism, VetNet, and our Women's Network, as well as in our wellbeing program and tools.
Restart your Jacobs career with a company that inspires and empowers you to deliver your best work so you can evolve, grow, and succeed – today and into tomorrow.
Hear from some of our program alumni
“I was put on a lot of high-pressure projects earlier in my career, so when I had my first child and took an 18 month break, I found myself sitting between a past that was clearly behind me and a future that was uncertain.” - Aleena Victoriaignatius, Project Manager
“With a break of more than seven years in my career it was so nice that we were welcomed by every member of the team and given real opportunities on real projects.” - Nur AtaNurcan, Senior Economist
