Portfolio Manager Energy and Power

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.

Jacobs is committed to playing a key role in the Global Energy Transition. Our European and Global teams are growing, and we’re seeking an Energy & Power Portfolio Manager to oversee work across Ireland and contribute to our wider business activities.

We value work–life balance and flexibility. Our Irish Energy & Power team works across Dublin, Cork and Belfast, and we welcome discussions on location, hybrid working, part‑time arrangements, and flexible hours.
