This position is open at any U.S. location near a Jacobs office. We intend to hire the best candidate regardless of geography.

About the Role

At Jacobs, we never settle — we push boundaries, elevate standards, and deliver with purpose. Power is the foundational constraint of every hyperscale data center program, and the Electrical SME is the technical authority Jacobs and its clients depend on to solve it. You will shape electrical infrastructure strategy from utility interconnection through to IT equipment receptacle — medium-voltage distribution, UPS topology, generator plant design, switchgear paralleling, arc flash safety programs, and the escalating power density demands of AI and GPU-dense compute environments. This role blends deep power systems expertise with client-facing leadership, strategic pursuit involvement, and discipline mentorship across a portfolio of hyperscale and mission-critical programs.
