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

Join a team that’s redefining how the world builds. Our Construction & Logistics Advisory group within the Programmes & Advisory business unit brings together industry-leading expertise from across global markets, supporting flagship programmes throughout the UK, Europe, and Asia Pacific. With a powerhouse team made up of chartered professionals and former Tier One contractors, we’re uniquely positioned to shape strategy, unlock Modern Methods of Construction, and influence the very foundations of project delivery at the earliest possible stage.

As a Construction Advisory Specialist, you’ll be at the heart of this impact — leading major projects from concept through design and optioneering, shaping construction strategy, phasing, methodology, and programme development. You’ll collaborate with specialists to create smarter, more efficient, and more resilient designs, integrating logistics, sustainability, and constructability into every decision. This is your opportunity to influence high-profile projects, challenge traditional thinking, and help drive a “Design to Construct” mindset that transforms how infrastructure is delivered.

Key deliverables

  • Deliver technical input and constructability advice on areas such as, but not limited to, temporary works, lifting and plant solutions, earthworks, traffic management, logistics, and CDM obligations.
  • Lead constructability reviews and risk assessments.
  • Advise on health, safety, and environmental risks and mitigation strategies.
  • Liaise with internal teams, contractors, and external agencies.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
