Role overview

Jacobs is looking for an experienced Document Controller to join its Power & Energy team at the project locations in Würzburg and Hannover. The role focuses on keeping project documentation structured, accurate, accessible, and compliant with internal standards and external requirements.

The position supports projects that contribute to sustainable, future-oriented outcomes. The working model is hybrid, combining time in Jacobs offices or on project sites with remote work.

Key responsibilities

• Track documents throughout their full lifecycle, including creation, review, approval, circulation, revision, and archiving.
• Make sure document handling follows internal policies and applicable industry regulations.
• Set up, maintain, and improve the document management system.
• Check documents for completeness, correctness, and consistency, and update them where needed.
• Work with multiple departments and stakeholders to collect, verify, and validate documentation.
• Manage change requests, version control, and document release workflows.
• Ensure documents are available on time for internal and external audits.
• Support ongoing improvements to document control and document management processes.

Candidate profile

The ideal candidate has completed vocational training or a degree in a relevant field, or brings equivalent professional experience. At least 3 years of experience in document control or document management in a similar role is required.

You should have a solid understanding of document management standards, practices, and systems, along with strong organisational skills and a sharp eye for detail. The role also calls for the ability to prioritise multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment and meet deadlines reliably.

Good communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and strong working knowledge of MS Office and related document management tools are important. Familiarity with sector-specific regulations and compliance requirements is an advantage.

What is offered

• Permanent employment in long-term, sustainability-focused projects.
• Flexible working hours and the option to work from mobile locations.
• Corporate fitness benefits and JobRad bicycle leasing.
• Capital-forming benefits and an employer contribution toward company pension savings.
• Opportunities for individual career growth in Germany and internationally.
