Fenner brings a unique blend of technical expertise and leadership to every project he manages at Jacobs Engineering. With eight years of experience in the design and construction industry, he has worked in automotive and battery facilities, photovoltaic factories, hyperscale data centers, educational buildings and government work. Fenner is responsible for establishing digital delivery workflows with clients for model and design reviews. To achieve this, he uses technology to streamline processes, improve communication and enhance project delivery. He was recognized twice by Jacobs Engineering for being highly collaborative, a team player and delivering at a high level on a confidential project. Fenner has published nine high-impact papers around sustainability and offsite construction — including a case study comparing the carbon hotspots of an educational building. In total, his work has been cited more than 1,000 times in the past five years. He mentors students to guide the next generation of engineers by sharing insights on sustainability and career development. Fenner, a community advocate, contributes to neighborhood sustainability by working on projects to promote greener living. He organizes community cleanups to pick up trash in local parks and advocates for community-based agriculture. Outside of work, he is enthusiastic about staying active, especially biking and participating in events such as the Boston Drag Boat Race. Fenner has a passion for travel and experiencing different cultures. On a recent trip to India and Dubai, he was amazed by local sustainability practices like rainwater harvesting and solar power. He also enjoys hands-on projects like creating durable hardwood furniture and 3D printing functional items. At home, he has over 30 tropical indoor plants and enjoys the process of nurturing them. He also has two cats.
