On 19 June 2017, advanced M&A discussions between Jacobs Engineering Group and CH2M were reported on Wall Street. The joining of these two companies would impact the services landscape in municipal and industrial water & wastewater as well as the engineering & services sector as a whole.

The deal would build on a string of water M&A transactions within the engineering sector that has demonstrated consolidation among some of the largest players, including Stantec, WS Atkins, and AMEC Foster Wheeler over the past 12 months.
