Jacobs. A world where you can.
As climate change threatens water security around the world, more communities are turning to water reuse as a resilient water supply solution and embracing the OneWater principle that all water has value. Jacobs has been supporting clients with water reuse programs for decades, beginning with the first applications of advanced wastewater treatment technologies in the 1960s. We provide our clients with a full range of services, from water reuse feasibility studies to design, construction and operations.
The only certainty about the future is uncertainty. Resilience is an attribute of a smarter planet, and requires planning and adapting ahead of potential threats. We help our clients survive, recover, adapt and thrive.
As a purpose-led company, we know we have a pivotal role to play in addressing the climate emergency. We consider this not only good business, but our duty to channel our technology-enabled expertise and capabilities toward benefitting people and the planet.
For more than 30 years, Jacobs has been responsible for planning and implementing Lead and Copper Rule-related strategies which protect millions of people in the U.S. and Canada. Our work includes enhanced water quality monitoring strategies, sampling plan development, harvested pipe-scale analysis, lead service line inventories and replacement plans, corrosion control studies and the incorporation of equity and environmental justice considerations into compliance programs.
Jacobs is working to help clients across the United States secure federal funding for projects that make our cities and communities more connected and sustainable. Working hand-in-hand with clients from coast to coast and everywhere in between, Jacobs develops bold, innovative solutions to address the nation’s toughest challenges.
Now more than ever, we appreciate the hard work, sacrifice and dedication of the medical profession in ensuring the health and safety of our communities.
Together, we are stronger. Together, we can transform the future.
We work in partnership, delivering some of the most challenging, diverse and innovative projects and programs globally across multiple sectors. We integrate complex interfaces across planning, procurement and delivery to help unlock better social, environmental and economic outcomes from mega and giga projects.

Stories that capture our partnerships and innovative impact for a more connected, sustainable world
DALLAS, March 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) The global community is facing an unprecedented crisis unlike any we have ever experienced. Since January, Jacobs has taken the following steps in the face of COVID-19 to ensure the safety and well-being of our people and communities, while at the same time delivering on the commitments to our clients.
At Jacobs, we are a people business. As part of our Culture of Caring, we unite employees across the globe to foster a workplace that values the safety, positive mental health and inclusion of all employees. As it became clear that COVID-19 was unparalleled in the rate of community spread, we took early, decisive action in a couple of critical areas to help in efforts to flatten the curve of the virus:
Much of Jacobs work is in support of essential and mission-critical activities, and these teams are playing an integral role in supporting clients in their efforts to mitigate the spread, develop vaccines and therapies, and ensure the safety and security of countries and communities around the world. Where the essential and mission-critical nature of our work requires us to maintain staff at certain sites or locations, we are working closely with our clients and have established project-specific plans to ensure the safety of our people and the integrity of the operation.
We are also actively supporting efforts to solve incremental challenges from the pandemic. Working in partnership with our clients, several of our federal and local government contracts are being refocused on COVID-19 response activities, including FEMA and U.S. Corps of Engineers support in creating mobile hospital units in hot zones of the U.S.; healthcare operations planning in the U.K., Australia and New Zealand; concept design for COVID-19 vaccine and therapy manufacturing facilities; engineering support to increase production of ventilators; and cyber security support in response to increased threats during the pandemic.
We also have an obligation to our global community and are making commitments on several fronts:
This pandemic affects us all – young or old, rich or poor, urban or rural. Never more so than today do our core values provide the clear framework for our decision-making at Jacobs: We do things right. We challenge the accepted. We aim higher. We live inclusion.
I am truly inspired by the actions and sacrifices we are making as a collective global community in the face of this pandemic. To see people across the world pitching in and helping each other in ways big and small fills me with confidence and optimism for the future.
Let's keep this going well past this current challenge.
