Our Gender Pay Gap in 2023 – England, Wales and Scotland
Jacobs has three U.K. entities with more than 250 employees as of 5 April 2023. These are:
- Jacobs U.K. Limited,
- Jacobs Clean Energy Limited, and
- Jacobs Field Services Limited
The gender pay gap is a measure to show the difference between the gross hourly, ordinary earnings for all male employees compared to the gross hourly, ordinary earnings for all female employees, without taking into account individual roles, responsibilities and seniority level.
The gender pay gap includes regular payment of salaries and allowances and is taken from payroll data.
“We understand that bold, accountable leadership is a key driver for inclusion, and we have seen great success through our operationalization of TogetherBeyond and amplification of inclusive behaviors at all levels of our company.”

At Jacobs, we understand that “inclusion” is a verb, not a noun. It means being transparent and taking action on our statements, commitments and initiatives that drive meaningful, measurable change in our company, industry and the communities we serve. It means creating a workplace where our people are curious, embrace different perspectives and harness new ideas to bring the innovative, extraordinary solutions clients demand from us. It means creating a culture of belonging where everyone can thrive — a culture that we call TogetherBeyond℠.
We understand that bold, accountable leadership is a key driver for inclusion, and we have seen great success through our operationalization of TogetherBeyond and amplification of inclusive behaviors at all levels of our company. With this in mind, I am pleased to present our 2023 Gender Pay Gap Report, which shows that our mean gender pay gap currently stands at 17.5%, a reduction of 0.6% from last year’s report and 8.5% since we began reporting six years ago. We are also voluntarily publishing our fourth Ethnicity Pay Gap Report, which shows that our mean ethnicity pay gap currently stands at 11.2%.
We’re inspired by bold actions, such as the launch of our new Sustainability-Linked Bonds, where the interest rates payable on the bonds are tied to Jacobs’ efforts to increase gender diversity in leadership positions by 2028 and our new U.K. annual ethnicity aspirational goals. In 2023, we launched two bespoke programs, Black LeadHERship and WISE (Women Inspiring and Supporting Each Other) to provide support, mentorship and development opportunities to prepare participants for success in their current and future leadership roles.
We can see the positive impact our work is having with 55% of our global Board of Directors and 71% of our Executive Leadership Team now diverse (gender and ethnicity) and global female representation at senior leadership level in-line with overall female representation. However, we also acknowledge that we still have work to do. This report details our journey and highlights the actions we are taking to increase female and ethnically diverse participation, reduce our pay gaps and ensure a more equitable workforce for everyone.
