Chief Executive Officer at Jacobs

I visited the site of FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies’ $2B large-scale cell culture facility in Holly Springs, North Carolina, where Jacobs is serving as EPCM partner, for a milestone celebration with the project team. This event was nothing short of inspiring!   The site has changed much since my last visit, and I’m most impressed by the safety record on the project. The numbers are astounding: 3.5 million—and counting—work hours without a lost time incident. That is incredible for a facility of this size and scale, and it’s all thanks to our culture of transparency, trust, and accountability.    And don’t just take my word for it: the North Carolina Department of Labor said that our proactive safety stance should be considered a gold standard for all commercial infrastructure projects in the state.    That is a testament to the hard work of our amazing project team and our partnership of trust with Fujifilm.    Finally, this milestone has me optimistic for the future—a completed site, the largest of its kind in North America, delivering life-changing therapies to patients that need them.    That’s our purpose in action. We’re proud to be a part of this impactful program—on to the next milestone!
