Given you're running your test on a Linux box you need to use Linux chromedriver version

Ie for Chrome 75: https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=75.0.3770.140/

You should be using https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/75.0.3770.140/chromedriver_linux64.zip

Make sure to make it executable by running chmod command like:

script {
    sh 'chmod +x /var/jenkins_home/workspace/SeleniumTest/./lib/chromedriver'
}

However it should be easier to integrate WebDriverManager to automatically download the necessary version of the driver for your browser.

If your Linux machine doesn't have GUI you will also either need to setup Xvfb or add --headless key to your browser initialization routine.
