We are looking for a Junior Water/Wastewater Design Specialist to support our water/wastewater treatment team in the Ottawa office. As part of our team you will have the opportunity to work within many aspects of our municipal water/wastewater treatment market. You will work in multidisciplinary teams, supporting Process Engineers, Project Managers, and Contract Administrators.

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.
