Data & Dashboards Specialist (Data Centers)

About the role

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. This Data & Dashboards Specialist (Power BI) position is available anywhere in the United States; ideally candidates will be near a Jacobs U.S. office, but we intend to hire the best candidates regardless of location. You will join the Digital Delivery / BIM team, working closely with BIM managers, project managers, construction managers, and automation/AI specialists to transform design, construction, and model data into clear, action‑oriented insights for our data center portfolio. Your focus is on connecting to, structuring, and visualizing data—from early design through construction and closeout—turning messy AEC data (models, RFIs, submittals, P6 schedules, financials, procurement feeds) into dashboards that teams actually rely on.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain Power BI dashboards that support design and coordination progress, model health and quality indicators, issue/clash metrics and remediation, and 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), and daily/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.
• Connect Power BI to a range of systems and data sources, including 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 – including Unifier
