Once transition starts, the job openings for Lone Wolf will be posted on Jacobs.com. The current workforce will be given first consideration for open positions. A deadline will be provided for the current Lone Wolf workforce to apply. After that date, requisitions for positions will be made available to outside applicants. Our intent is to hire the existing Lone Wolf workforce. We are highly interested in you coming to work for the Jacobs Team. If there are open positions after the task order is reviewed against the incumbent applicants, any remaining unfilled positions will be filled in accordance with Jacobs’ procedures.

For the Lone Wolf contract, Jacobs has a set program management office. Our goal is to hire as many incumbent employees as possible. This includes the group leaders, supervisors, and other local leaders early to assist in the transition of the task orders.
It is our intent to have as little disruption to the customer and the workforce. It is also our intent to keep employees in similar roles as they are performing today
Please provide as much detailed information as possible on your application. We are also expecting a list from the contracting office with the names of the active task orders that you are currently supporting.
We understand some incumbent employees may use the contract transition as a milestone to consider their own transition to retirement. We also understand that many of those who consider retirement may desire to continue to work on a part-time or intermittent basis. We do not know of any part-time or intermittent positions at this time; however, we may identify positions as we proceed through the transition. If positions are identified, you may be able to work part-time on the Jacobs Team; as a member of the Jacobs Reserve Corps; or have the opportunity to provide intermittent support to any of our contracts throughout the country. Please let us know if you are interested in further discussions about these programs. We will be happy to provide you more information and discuss them with you.
Once a candidate completes their pre-screen, Jacobs Security must perform due diligence to confirm clearance status. Candidates cannot be briefed until we have received a signed offer of employment with a confirmed start date. This verification/check does not have any adverse impact on the candidate’s clearance. Once an offer has been signed and before the candidate starts at Jacobs, we are required by the government to pick up the clearance the security database, and cross over the accesses to Jacobs and the Lone Wolf program. During this process and only after the candidate has given their notice of departure to their current employer, Jacobs will give the start date to the appropriate security office so the change does not occur early. This process will ensure minimal disruption to the candidate’s employment as well as continuous access to secure workspaces.
If anyone has questions on this process please call Trenton White (571-669-5527) or Monique Phelps (443-832-4755). We will be happy to talk you through the process.
