About the role
At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.
Your impact
At Jacobs, we design and deliver some of the world’s most advanced high‑tech facilities—from mission‑critical data centers to semiconductor fabs and next‑generation manufacturing environments. To keep pace with this growth, we’re adding a Strategic Sourcer who specializes in finding the engineering talent that drives complex programs.
In this role, you’ll focus on identifying and engaging Electrical Engineers initially then expand to our other Engineering disciplines and highly specialized design engineers who excel in advanced facilities work. You’ll map competitive talent markets, uncover niche skill sets, and build long‑term pipelines that ensure Jacobs stays ahead of project demand. Your work blends research, technical fluency, and targeted outreach to connect with passive engineering talent that rarely responds to traditional recruiting.
If you thrive on sourcing hard‑to‑find technical experts and influencing hiring strategy with real market intelligence, you’ll make an immediate impact on a team shaping the future of high‑tech facility design at Jacobs.
