At Jacobs, we are challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world’s most critical problems: 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.
This job opportunity is available at any location in the United States. Ideally, selected candidates will be near a Jacobs U.S. based office, but we intend to hire the best candidates.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain Power BI dashboards that support:
- Design and coordination progress
- Model health and quality indicators
- Issue/clash metrics and remediation
- Program‑ and project‑level KPIs across a multi‑site portfolio
- Create construction administration dashboards that track:
- Submittals (status, cycle times, responsible parties, bottlenecks)
- RFIs (volume, response times, trends by discipline/location)
- Daily reports / field reports (labor, quantities, weather impacts, safety, key events)
- Translate stakeholder questions into clear visuals, metrics, and layouts that support real decisions.
- Support project teams during setup and key milestones, iterating dashboards based on feedback.
Data Connections, APIs & Modeling
- Connect Power BI to a range of systems and data sources, such as:
- ACC / CDEs, Revit model exports and schedules, Navisworks/coordination outputs
- Construction administration systems (for RFIs, submittals, daily reports, field data)
- Scheduling tools—especially Primavera P6 (planned vs. actual, critical path views, look‑ahead dashboards)
- Financial and procurement systems—Unifier and Hexagon Smart Materials for commitments, invoices, and change orders; procurement status, material tracking, and delivery milestones
- Use APIs or automated data pipelines (where available) to enable:
- Direct connections from these platforms into Power BI
- Automatic refreshes with minimal manual intervention
- Develop and maintain data models, relationships, and DAX measures, and troubleshoot data quality and refresh issues.
Standards, Templates & Reuse
- Develop standard dashboard templates for recurring use cases, including:
- Construction admin dashboards (RFIs, submittals, daily reports)
- Scheduling dashboards (P6 integration)
- Financial/procurement dashboards (Unifier, Smart Materials)
- Define and document standard measures, naming conventions, and visual patterns to ensure consistent reporting across programs and clients.
- Maintain lightweight documentation and handover guides so dashboards can be adopted and scaled.
Collaboration with BIM, Construction, Automation & AI
- Partner with:
- BIM managers to consume model and coordination data into dashboards
- Construction and project managers to align dashboards with CA workflows, P6 updates, and financial/procurement processes
- Provide data/visualization support for internal pilots, R&D initiatives, and executive reporting related to digital delivery, automation, and AI
- Run short walkthroughs, demos, and quick reference sessions for project and construction teams on how to use dashboards.
Qualifications
- Proven experience building Power BI dashboards, including:
- Data modeling, relationships, and DAX
- Designing intuitive, user‑friendly report pages
- Experience working with AEC / BIM / construction data, such as:
- ACC or similar CDEs
- Revit schedules or model exports
- RFI/submittal logs, daily reports, or other CA data
- Experience integrating or reporting on at least one of:
- Scheduling data (e.g., Primavera P6)
- Construction financial or procurement data (e.g., Unifier, Hexagon Smart Materials, or comparable tools)
- Comfort working with APIs or ETL tools to connect external systems to Power BI, and to configure automated data refresh.
- Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills; ability to deal with imperfect, fragmented data and improve it over time.
- Clear, concise communication skills and the ability to work with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
- Ideally, experience with Revit, Navisworks, Civil 3D, or other BIM/coordination tools (conceptual understanding is sufficient).
