DALLAS, April 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs
(NYSE:J) is pleased to announce that Major General Tim Byers has been promoted to lead the
company's Federal & Environmental Solutions (F&ES)
business, including support to U.S. government agencies and
commercial clients responding to the COVID-19 outbreak.
F&ES is a global business delivering mission-driven
buildings, infrastructure and environmental solutions to U.S.
federal, public sector, private sector and defense contractors.
Clients that Jacobs serves include all U.S. Department of Defense
agencies and the Army Corps of Engineers; the intelligence

Veteran Affairs, Department of the Interior, Administrative Office
of the U.S. Courts, Federal Emergency Management Agency,
Environmental Protection Agency, National Science Foundation and
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; and leading
defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics,
Newport News Shipbuilding and BAE Systems.
As senior vice president and general manager of F&ES, Byers
brings to the role almost four decades of engineering and
operations leadership. Major General Byers joined Jacobs four years
ago to lead F&ES growth and sales after he retired from the
U.S. Air Force as The Air Force Civil Engineer, having served 32
years, which culminated with his leadership of the 54,000-person
engineering workforce. During this time, he managed an $18 billion worldwide facility, infrastructure
and real estate portfolio.
"We're honored to have Tim on point working with our clients and
leading our team of Federal & Environmental Solutions
professionals in these dynamic and challenging times," said Jacobs
President and Chief Operating Officer Bob
Pragada. "His depth of leadership experience and 'people
first, mission always' ethos is key in helping the government and
private sector deliver critical solutions that advance strategic
initiatives and support operational and environmental
excellence."
A purpose-driven leader, Byers believes in giving back. He is
active in Jacobs' VETNET and ACE Employee Networks and serves
on the Wounded Warrior Advisory Board, National NDIA Board, SAME
Foundation Board and ACEC Water and Environmental Board. He has a
master's degree in Engineering Management and a bachelor's degree
in Civil Engineering. Byers is also past National President
and Fellow of the Society of American Military Engineers and holds
several distinguished leadership awards from the U.S. Air
Force.
