We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - Intro paragraph about Jacobs mission: "At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow..." This is generic company description; could be part of About the role? Possibly "About the role" section: description of role and impact. - Then "Your impact" repeated? There's "Your impact It is an exciting time..." then later "Your Impact We are seeking an innovative CAD Designer..." Might combine. We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe includes description of role, impact, responsibilities overview). Responsibilities: list bullet points. Requirements: maybe education and experience. Qualifications: maybe certifications. Skills: maybe software proficiency. Benefits: described. Pay: base salary range. Schedule: hybrid working policy. We must not create sections with placeholder or vague like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive info: So we need to include details like: - Role: CAD Designer, performing advanced design and drafting assignments for high-voltage transmission and distribution substation projects; apply drafting standards, substation design practices, CAD technologies; collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams; technical resource for project teams; support development of high-quality design deliverables from concept through construction. - Impact: innovative CAD Designer to support and deliver substation projects ranging from distribution voltage levels through extra-high-voltage transmission systems in North America; work closely with other designers and electrical, structural, civil, and protection & controls engineers to develop and revise single-line diagrams, general arrangement plans, P&C plans, electrical equipment layouts, grounding plans and details, cable trench and conduit layouts, control building layouts, sections and elevations, structural steel and foundation drawings, bill of material and drawing indexes. - Responsibilities: Establish CAD project environments, manage reference files, coordinate data sources, maintain drawing standards; Provide CAD leadership and technical guidance to project teams and junior drafters/designers; Part of diverse teams, work to meet clients’ needs as cohesive unit; Empowered to deliver boldest solutions; Partner across globe to create best project outcomes by maximizing design, digital technology, support capabilities of Global Integrated Delivery (GID) teammates; Commit to supporting and engaging with these teams. - Requirements: Associate degree in Drafting, Design Technology, Engineering Technology, or equivalent experience; 5+ years of drafting and design experience supporting electrical utility or substation projects; Advanced proficiency with AutoCAD and/or Civil 3D; Experience with Plant 3D, Revit or other 3D Modeling Software; Experience developing physical substation design drawings for transmission and distribution projects; Strong understanding of substation layouts, grounding systems, conduit systems, cable routing, structural plans, and equipment arrangements; Experience using ProjectWise and Autodesk Forma for document management and collaboration; Ability to interpret engineering calculations, specifications, vendor drawings, and design criteria; Proficiency with Bluebeam, Microsoft Office Suite, and Microsoft Teams; Strong organizational, communication, and coordination skills; Ability to work independently while managing multiple projects and deadlines. - Ideally also have: Experience with Bentley MicroStation, OpenBuildings, or Substation Design software platforms; Experience supporting substation projects from 12 kV through 500 kV; Familiarity with utility and client-specific design standards; Knowledge of IEEE, NESC, and utility design practices; Understanding of design workflows from conceptual engineering through construction support; Autodesk Certified Professional or Bentley certification; Experience working with geographically distributed project teams. - Benefits: health and welfare benefits: medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, 401(k) plan, paid time off (allocated plans start date 17 days per calendar year), seven paid holidays, caregiver leave, ability to purchase company stock at a discount, legally mandated benefits. - Pay: base salary range $75,900.00 to $99,675.00; though will be paid hourly based on hours worked; within range, individual pay determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. - Schedule: hybrid working policy, allowing split work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations; value collaboration and believe in-person interactions crucial; empower employees with hybrid working policy. We also have some duplicated paragraphs: "At Jacobs, we’re partnering across the globe to create the best project outcomes by maximizing the design, digital technology, and support capabilities of our Global Integrated Delivery (GID) teammates. By joining Jacobs, you’ll commit to supporting and engaging with these teams, as we work to build a company like no other." appears twice; we should include only once. Also there is line: "We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work." That's schedule. Also there is: "Your application experience is important to us, and we’re keen to adapt to make every interaction even better. If you require further support or reasonable adjustments with regards to the recruitment process (for example, you require the application form in a different format), please contact the team via Careers Support." This is application instructions/boilerplate; should be removed. Also there is EEO statement: "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or protected veteran status." This is EEO boilerplate; remove. Also there is: "Job posted on September 23, 2026. This position will be open for at least 3 days." This is metadata; remove. Also there is: "Our health and welfare benefits are designed to invest in you, and in the things you care about. Your health. Your well-being. Your security. Your future." This is benefits intro; keep. Now we need to decide sections. Potential sections: - About the role: could include mission statement and role description. - Responsibilities: bullet list. - Requirements: bullet list (education, experience, etc.) - Qualifications: maybe certifications and ideal experience. - Skills: maybe software proficiency list. But we must avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section that includes education, experience, certifications, ideal experience. Or separate. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Skills could be merged into Requirements. But we need to include all substantive info. Let's decide: Section About the role: includes company mission description and role overview (impact, what you'll do). Could combine the first paragraph and "Your impact" sections. Section Responsibilities: bullet list of responsibilities. Section Requirements: bullet list of required qualifications (education, experience, technical skills, etc.) plus maybe "Ideally, you will also have" as preferred qualifications; we could still include them in Requirements but note they are ideal. Section Benefits: bullet list of benefits. Section Pay: paragraph about salary range. Section Schedule: paragraph about hybrid working policy. We should not include Skills separate if we put them in Requirements. Now we need to format: headings

for each section. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title. No markdown. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine mission and role description. Prose: maybe two paragraphs. We'll include:

    At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

We could include these as part of Requirements but maybe separate as "Preferred Qualifications". However we want few sections; we could include them in Requirements but note they are preferred. Could still be bullet list. Now Benefits: bullet list. - Medical, dental, vision and basic life insurance - 401(k) plan - Paid time off (allocated plans start date 17 days per calendar year) - Seven paid holidays - Caregiver leave - Ability to purchase company stock at a discount - Legally mandated benefits Now Pay: paragraph. - The base salary range for this position is $75,900.00 to $99,675.00; though will be paid hourly based on hours worked.
