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 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. We are looking for a Data & Dashboards Specialist (Power BI) to transform design, construction, and model data into clear, action-oriented insights for our data center portfolio. You will sit inside the Digital Delivery / BIM team, working closely with BIM managers, project managers, construction managers, and automation/AI specialists. Your focus is not on “filling in” data, but on connecting to it, structuring it, and visualizing it—from early design through construction and closeout. If you enjoy turning messy AEC data (models, RFIs, submittals, P6 schedules, financials, procurement feeds) into dashboards that teams actually rely on, this role is for you.
Responsibilities
- Dashboard Design & Delivery: 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:
