Jacobs - Interview

[FraserB]

Anyone interview or work with Jacobs before? Have an interview on Thursday with the department head. All they have asked is that I email them my references before hand, I did speak with the department head last week at a meet and greet type event. It is a job in the procurement department, not the engineering side.

Anyone have any tips or insights that might help?


Thanks in advance.

[FraserB]

If anyone finds this in the future, you can PM me.

I've worked at Jacobs for just about 10 years now, you should enjoy it here! I know I have, and they treat their good employees well!

Playa, how do you know this?

Wasn't that 6% supposed to be rolled out last year? That's what they told me when I worked there, but I went to a different company right before it happened.

Was this the Junior/Intermediate Buyer position that just opened up? I met with Gordon McClymont a few times, seems like agreat guy. I have some buddies that work there too, they like it.

Before Jacobs it was Delta correct? That's whom my dad started with originally.

Yes, back in 2001/2002 they changed from Delta/McDerrmot to Jacobs once they were bought out by Jacobs

thats right around the time i was hired.

Congrats Fraser! Lots of EET grads I went with either still work at, or did a stint, at Jacobs.

Also I think Destinova's dad worked there. At least when I know him.

Correct! haha. My dad is actually still there. He works with the sister company Jacobs Industrial Services. The maintenance arm of Delta from back in the day. Hes been there for probably 30 years.

I worked a summer there too a few years ago.

Don't know about that, but the pay raise happens this month
