Jacobs Employer Reviews

I enjoyed working for Jacobs as it was rewarding and there was a lot of challenges. and I enjoyed helping people as much as I could

I enjoy working at this plant - I am fully responsible for the daily contract scaffolding operations/projects, along with tool box talks, issuing permits and liaising with site personnel and managers. I attend regular meetings with the contractors to update them with progress reports.

I have worked in HSE for over 10 years and I had the chance to improve the safety system through implementing the Culture and Values of Jacobs Company and their sincere care for every worker and their families.

A typical day involves the testing of bituminous materials. I have learnt about the Environmental aspects and legislation to ISO 14001:2004 standards. Management is ok small laboratory easy to get on with and involved. Co-workers are in the main easy to get of with and have a laugh with. Jobs are un taxing to the mind and the most enjoyable is the environmental – more... side. – less

Checking fork lift truck ie ; doing an all over check of the fork lift truck before use

I like to work at Jacobs because the people are work there very helpful and we all work as a team. I have learned so many new thing at work I had taken two weeks training as a Data Controller.

Management is very good at Jacobs. All the work is set down by the Mangers. The hardest part of the job is to pack biscuits on line and also when a new person – more... come and give them a training on each and every job but that was a challenging as well as enjoyable. While give training to new people I get chance to make my job perfect. – less

Nice values but they don't walk the talk on any of them other than regarding safety. They are so old-fashioned they don't actually know what that popular expression from the 90's means!!

Project based work which can be enjoyable and challenging when run by the right management team.

Opportunities to advance are rare

Development of Engineering Eagle Graph
P6 integrated assets and engineering delivery teams

nice company to work for as long as you're in one of there offices

Your choices of locations are broad, while you may be lost in the crowd.

Worked here 9 months. Assignment is finished next week. Very different environment from the noisy, interactive workplace I was used to at dialysis clinic for 20 years. Everyone pretty much stays to themselves as their work requires. Very quiet workplace. However, when the staff does get together for meetings, which are many, everyone is very personable – more... and friendly. Management is very easy to work with, and noticed they treat their employees very well as far as time off for illness, personal business, etc. A typical day for me included printing schedules and posting, keeping kitchens stocked/clean, answering switchboard, greeting visitors and receiving packages, typing invoices on Liquid Office (accts payable), scheduling conference rooms, processing incoming/outgoing mail. All in all I am sorry their budget does not allow them to hire me, as I've gotten to know the job and my co-workers very well and like them both. – less

Great work environment with experienced professionals in their corresponding fields who are ready and willing to help new employees better themselves.

Checked documents to be issued against Jacobs Project Information (JPI) cards for conformance, completed Document Distribution Request (DDR) form and Flat Reports and attached to JPI Notification, inspected Scope of Work write-ups to be sure all documents are included in the package, transferred to Document Control, and notified leads and managers to – more... approve
Maintained document package tracking log and flat and stick files
Updated weekly JPI issued drawing lists
Monitored Structural status report
Filed all State Fire Marshall review letters, Non Conformance Report (NCRs), and Request for Information (RFIs) – less

Management does not speak about what is wanted. Favortism. Mens club. Women are not invited into the mens club. Senority and wages mean nothing.

Responsible for the configuration control of all the documentation, drawings and serialization of parts for the two docking system projects funded by NASA. Also responsible for reviewing all the documentation of program requirements, specifications, test reports, etc. All documentation changes were tracked in Windchill - DDMS. Enjoyed working with all – more... phases of the project and with the various systems and test engineers along with the designers. – less

Work flow processes, exposure to new concepts, always learning.

The particular contract I work on is quite isolated from the rest of the division, which is quite isolated from the rest of the corporation. It is easy to get lost in the various systems of management.

Jacobs was an incredible opportunity for me to hone my professional skills. I learned virtually every aspect of my chosen field of Metal Finishing.

Management pursues Safety as a great focus. Challenges arise with keeping project work to support continuous staffing.
