The company said Tuesday it is scheduled to commence work on June 1 and will help the service branch manage infrastructure assets supporting force protection, utilities, transportation, telecommunication and various systems at the submarine station.

Steve Arnette, senior vice president of Jacobs’ critical mission solutions business, said the company will apply agile management and technical approaches to support Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southeast through the Kings Bay Base Operations Support I contract.

Jacobs added it helps the service branch operate Naval Station Mayport in Florida and Naval Base Kitsap’s West Sound in Washington.

Kings Bay is home to the Navy’s Ohio-class nuclear-powered submarines.
