  • Work collaboratively with internal and external project teams, as well as technical leaders, to plan, develop, deliver, and operate a range of multidisciplinary projects.
  • Recommend changes to current or new directions, ensuring Jacobs is applying the latest technical developments.
  • Mentor and assist in the development of junior QS/Estimators within your specialist discipline.
