Your impact

We have an exciting opportunity for a Water/Wastewater Design Engineer aligned with our Water Solution Center in Gainesville, FL. In this role, you will be a part of one of the largest water market delivery centers in the southern United States. You will lead the water and wastewater facility designs for conventional and design-build projects ranging from $1M to over $250M in construction and support diverse projects around the region. With a strong backlog in both water treatment and wastewater treatment projects, there are unlimited opportunities to focus on the technologies and growth that you desire. While being in Gainesville is preferred in order to support mentoring and career opportunities for our design teams and enhance coordination and efficiency on our projects, a hybrid remote arrangement is feasible depending on experience in the market and demonstrated ability to successfully work as part of distributed teams.

As a Water/Wastewater Design Engineer, you will work with a core group of water/wastewater engineers and designers on water and wastewater treatment designs and construction services support to deliver innovative solutions to challenging technical problems that our clients face. You will work collaboratively with our team to complete the following

• Evaluation and selection of process equipment, pumping systems, pipe materials, and valves
• Development of facility layouts and process & instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs)
• Development of construction documents, including drawings and specifications
• Data analysis and hydraulic modeling
• Technical report writing
• Construction services support
  
  
  

You will also use your leadership skills to work with diverse, technical teams to deliver challenging projects while serving and developing clients across the United States and internationally. Jacobs has a strong technical water/wastewater treatment background, and you will have the opportunity to connect to and work with our technical experts across the company.

We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work.
