Highfield approves Jacobs to deliver health & safety and leadership training

Jacobs has been approved as a training provider by Highfield International to deliver health & safety and leadership training across the Middle East.

The approval aligns Jacobs’ training curriculum and delivery with internationally recognised and regulated standards, giving clients and stakeholders confidence in the quality and consistency of its training programmes. Training will be delivered in line with Highfield International’s requirements, with participants receiving Highfield certification upon successful completion of the relevant qualifications.

Jacobs is a global engineering and advisory group and the parent company of PA Consulting. The company has several offices across the Middle East, including in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The delivery of the Highfield-approved trainings will commence this month.

“Being approved as a Highfield International training provider supports our goal of delivering consistent, high-quality health and safety training,” said Phillip Shaw, a leader in the firm’s Saudi business. “It enables us to strengthen capability across our teams and, over time, offer trusted training to our clients and partners.”

Shaw noted that the approval comes at a time of growing demand for safety-conscious workforces across the region, which is seeing a wave of complex, large-scale programmes in the built environment. “Strengthening access to accredited training supports safer project delivery and workforce development across the region.”
