Transportation affects every aspect of daily life, no matter where you are in the world! Jacobs is made up of a team of multi-disciplinary rail experts who work on complex projects around the globe. We’re driven by the extraordinary as well as the seemingly mundane, working with our partners to make the world more connected and more sustainable for everyone.
Join our dynamic team at Jacobs as a Principal Systems Engineer in our Perth office, where you'll play a crucial role in supporting the ANZ Rail & Transit team's delivery of technical solutions across our diverse client base.

Your well-established client relationships will be instrumental in identifying and anticipating client needs, ensuring we stay ahead of the curve.
In this role, you'll be a pillar of support for the SESA Section, encouraging engagement, resilience, and adaptability. You'll inspire the team to pursue innovation while maintaining exceptional project delivery standards and practicing responsible, proactive technical management. Your expertise will be invaluable as you guide projects through various lifecycle phases and assist our clients in achieving construction objectives during post-design stages. A critical aspect of your role will be ensuring all deliverables comply with Safety Assurance and Systems Engineering principles.
Your influence will extend across the ANZ region as you support projects and lead technical delivery, effectively managing both Jacobs staff and contractors. This position offers an exciting opportunity to shape the future of rail systems engineering, drive innovation, and make a lasting impact on major infrastructure projects.
If you're a seasoned Systems Engineer with a passion for leadership, innovation, and technical excellence, we invite you to apply for this rewarding position and join us in building a better tomorrow.
