In this paper we study the behavior of the jet quenching parameter in a background metric with hyperscaling violation at finite temperature. The background metric is covariant under a generalized Lifshitz scaling symmetry with the dynamical exponent 
and hyperscaling exponent 
. We have evaluated the jet quenching parameter for a certain range of these parameters which are consistent with the Gubser bound conditions in terms of 
, , and . The results are compared with those of experimental data as well as conformal and the non-conformal cases. Finally, we add a constant electric field to the background and find its effect on the jet quenching parameter.
