Dump Trucks Columbus OH Insight:

The move is the latest part of a deeper strategy change at the company. 

CEO Steve Demetriou identified last year global infrastructure modernization, climate response and the digitization of the industry as three multi-decade growth opportunities for the firm. 

For example, Jacobs acquired engineering firm CH2M Hill to expand its environmental solutions and water footprint in 2017, and sold its oil and gas, mining and chemicals business to Australia’s WorleyParsons a year later in 2018.

The stock will continue to trade on the NYSE under the existing ticker symbol “J.”

The internal transaction is intended to be tax-free for Jacobs and its stockholders. No materials operational or financial impacts are expected, and no stockholder vote is required, according to the release.

Other architecture, engineering and construction firms, like AECOM and Fluor, also are pushing into sustainability. Those firms reported last year increasing interest in their environmental services.
