Walk the interviewer through your inventory management experience. If you lack direct ordering/oversight experience, describe any time you've spent observing or participating in the process indirectly. Also, it is helpful to include details regarding the scale of the purchases and inventory you were responsible for as this will help your Jacobs interviewer to better assess if you're ready for the level of inventory management the role you're targeting requires.

"I have a full understanding of materials and equipment management. Much of what I learned was during my Project Management education. In my current position, I am responsible for 13M of onsite materials. Just last year I was able to reduce our materials waste-age by 12%."

"I have a little over one year of experience in the acceptance of construction materials. In my current position I accept deliveries, ensure the accuracy of the orders, and I also quality check the accepted materials. A typical order can range in value anywhere from several thousand to over a million dollars depending on the job and the phase we're in.
In my next position, I would like to be involved in the ordering of materials as well as the vendor relationship building that comes with that. I am confident I can apply what I have learned through observation and quickly come up to speed here at Jacobs if hired."
