As Director of Engineering Design and Innovation for Jacobs’ Built Environment team in the U.K., Adam Selvey thrives on creating smarter outcomes for cities and communities. He’s passionate about challenging norms, designing with purpose and helping others find fulfillment in their work.

To Adam, not knowing is the fun part. He’s “comfortable being uncomfortable” and energized by Jacobs’ mission to challenge today and reinvent tomorrow. His day-to-day spans everything from supporting the energy transition by advising on AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current) electrical conversion in buildings to helping reduce fuel poverty through innovative heat network design.

Equally committed to lifting up others, Adam encourages colleagues to publish papers and present at technical symposiums, particularly with the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers. Throughout his career, he has worked in more than 10 countries and has consistently championed progress across the construction and building services industries.
