Jacobs carved out its Critical Mission Solutions and Cyber and Intelligence businesses in late 2024, but still remains a technology company for the markets it does work in.

In this episode, Shannon Miller — Jacobs' president of growth, strategy and digital — discusses how Jacobs has evolved following that divestiture of its federal-facing units to Amentum.

Miller told WT Editor Nick Wakeman that Jacobs' tech strategy focuses on applying digital solutions and artificial intelligence to critical infrastructure, environmental sustainability, and life sciences challenges.

That includes incorporating AI into water treatment plants, infrastructure resilience tools at Air Force bases.

She also outlines Jacobs' strategic focus areas: addressing climate challenges, advancing life sciences solutions, developing sustainable transportation infrastructure, and tackling talent shortages through AI and automation.
