I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Jacobs (London, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
1. Online application with a few paragraphs 2. Recorded video questions, have to record all 3/4 questions at once but there is a chance to rerecord at the end. Didn't make it to the last stage which would've been an in person interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Jacobs?
Tell us about your interest in the role you have applied to
Tell us about something you have achieved that you feel proud of
How do you stay motivated
I applied online. I interviewed at Jacobs in Feb 2026
Interview
Interviewed by two people, asking motivational and competency and situational based questions. A lot of the questions were follow up questions from the answers I were giving, and the situational questions were not too hard and they help you if you get stuck.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Jacobs (Melbourne) in June 2025
Interview
Typical behavioural questions, heard back a couple weeks later. Surprisingly no online assessments which is nice. Does depend on team though. Interview was with a section lead and another civil engineer.
It was a very simple process of adding cv, then waiting for an option to do an online interview. You will be asked 3 questions, one about why you want to work there, another on how you stay motivated and lastly something you are proud of.
