Jacobs establishes new office on New Zealand

Jacobs Associates has announced the opening of its second Australasian office, located in Auckland, New Zealand. The office was opened in October.

It is intended that the new office will support ongoing Jacobs endeavours in New Zealand, such as the Central Interceptor Project for Watercare as well as the Waterview Connection highway tunnel project and other jobs for the New Zealand Transport Agency.

Jacobs has a long history of working on projects in New Zealand dating back to its founding in 1954 including dispute resolution on the Clyde Dam in 1986, review and cost estimation for the Waihi Gold Mine in 1993 and a feasibility study for the West Valley Sewer Project in 1995.

Isabelle Lamb, a senior associate at Jacobs who helped to establish the new office said, “New Zealand is a great place for Jacobs Associates. Our company fits the local New Zealand cultural aspirations of a small but determined population of world-beaters - and I am not just talking about the All Blacks and rugby!”
