Get to Know Farhan

What’s your favorite part of your role?

My work family. The relationships with the people I work with and the people I serve. I have spent the last 25 years developing strong, long-lasting relationships with colleagues, and now I have the pleasure of starting work each day knowing I can connect with them.

What sparked your passion for working in this industry?

It’s the combination of working with great people and having creative brainpower that our diverse talent network brings to the table. With this, we can solve any problem for our clients.

When you aren’t working, what are we most likely to find you doing?

Spending time with my wife and kids. We like to have cookouts, beach days and go to the movies. Currently, my wife and I are embracing being empty nesters since our youngest just graduated from high school this spring.

What do you enjoy most about being part of #OurJacobs?

Opportunity. Jacobs is so diversified within the markets we serve. It has enabled me to choose the role that fits my best interest. Not a lot of companies can do that.
