Design Build Recruiter at Jacobs (Paramount and Ally Alum) 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’re making our world better with every environmental project, and we know the importance of accurate estimates to the success of these projects. We’re looking for an experienced Cost Estimator to prepare a wide range of estimates – from conceptual to detailed design – for complex environmental, heavy civil, operations and maintenance, military and government facility projects.

Design teams will also collaborate with you on the quality and amount of input necessary to develop the required level of design‑build construction estimates. You’ll tap into both your creative and analytical sides in this role as you develop reports and presentations as well as analyze historical data. Bring your attention to detail and desire to grow, and we’ll help you pursue what drives you – so we can tackle challenging environmental projects, together.
