Flo 
When Flo M. interviewed with Jacobs in 1980, she noticed something different about the company.
"It felt open-ended. There was more opportunity to learn faster and work on different types of projects."
Her first impression proved to be true. Her personal drive to understand how different parts of the business are connected coupled with a culture of support has helped her thrive in multiple roles during her career.
Daryl
"Jacobs attracted me because of their core values of safety and relationships among their teams and with their clients."
Daryl came to Jacobs after graduating with a chemical engineering degree, and is part of a graduate program that will equip him with the skills and experience to obtain U.K. Chartered Engineer status in the coming years. His education includes intern and work-study programs in process engineering for petrochemical, chemicals, and refining clients, including a stint at a rum distillery in his home country of Barbados. Daryl is seeking a career path toward a senior leadership position in Jacobs. He aims to work in as many different markets as possible. In his spare time, he enjoys sports and playing double bass in the Reading Symphony Orchestra.

"This company will give you an opportunity if you're willing to step up. I have 'helium-hand' disease, which means I volunteer for everything. That's done amazing things for my career at Jacobs."
Rachel
Go anywhere. Meet a few people who've taken advantage of multiple opportunities to expand their careers at Jacobs.
"I believe there's a growing revolution in engineering that involves designing, building, and maintaining everything with less environmental impact. I want to live and work internationally on that revolution, and Jacobs is engaged in that all over the world."
Fresh with a master's degree in international business, Rachel hoped to head overseas after graduation. But as she awaited an opportunity, she took a temp-to-perm job for Jacobs as an administrative assistant. Ten years later, she's months from earning her professional engineering license as a mechanical engineer, specializing in energy and environment. She's poised to reach for her international goals in the near future.
Shan
Before Shan joined Jacobs twelve years ago, he didn't have a specific career path in mind. But he did have a direction he wanted to take.
"I wanted to work at the front end of creating lasting tangible projects before they become physical reality. I wanted to be at the tip of the spear."
He also loves traveling, not as a tourist walking around taking pictures, but as part of the culture that creates the need for projects. Jacobs has given him the opportunity to appreciate every part of the spear.
