Sole source engineering, procurement and construction management contract expands Jacobs' high‑performance computing and AI data center portfolio

Jacobs (NYSE:J) has been awarded a sole‑source engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contract by Hut 8 (NASDAQ:HUT), an energy infrastructure platform, to deliver a second U.S. AI data center campus. The award represents a follow‑on scope to Jacobs' previously announced EPCM role at Hut 8's River Bend campus in Louisiana and reflects continued momentum in delivering large-scale AI infrastructure with speed and certainty.

Beacon Point is Hut 8's second AI data center campus commercialized under its power-first greenfield development model. Located in Nueces County, Texas, the multi‑phase campus is designed to support one gigawatt of total capacity.

Jacobs will apply proven design elements from the River Bend campus to the second project site and deploy its newly released data center digital twin to simulate critical assets, helping to de‑risk commissioning and reduce time to first revenue by accelerating the deployment of AI workloads.
