Our strategic partnership with Jacobs

PA and Jacobs embody the transformative power of collaboration, combining PA's expertise in innovation and transformation with Jacobs' technical expertise in infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and technology.

Strategic success and real-world impact

End-to-end solutions tailored to your needs

PA’s strategic approach and ability to think ahead of the curve seamlessly integrate with Jacobs’ technical expertise and in-depth understanding of assets, including cost structures, capital cycles, and maintenance. Together, we provide end-to-end solutions – from strategy and planning through to design, programme management, and implementation.

Future-focused advisory and practical execution

Together, we enable impactful change from the Board down, helping organisations align their strategic vision with actionable plans. PA brings depth with future-focused advisory capabilities and innovative problem-solving, while Jacobs adds a proven track record of design, procurement, and construction of highly technical programmes and projects.

An outcome-driven approach

Whether you're looking to navigate emerging trends, optimise operations, or achieve sustainability goals, PA and Jacobs provide clients with a roadmap with end-to-end support and the confidence that each step prioritises outcomes, not mere statements of work, lists of deliverables, or milestones reached.

Innovation with real-world impact

Our strategic partnership thrives on collaboration that challenges conventional thinking. Our diverse expertise and relentless focus on client value mean our clients get the very best innovative ideas that work in practice.
