Design Project Manager – Defense Contractors
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay/Schedule/Benefits only if posting actually states them.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro paragraph about Jacobs mission etc. That's about the role? Could be "About the role" or "About Jacobs". We'll treat as "About the role" maybe.
- "Your impact At Jacobs, we challenge what is currently accepted..." That's also about role.
- "In the Federal Solutions Building & Infrastructure group, we are comprised of architects, planners, engineers, as well as endless specialty services to support our clients and projects." That's about group.
- "Do you have a passion and experience for managing high-impact complex projects in the Federal market with Defense Industry Clients? We are seeking a Project Manager to lead Defense Contractor projects such as production facilities for aircraft, ships, and/or rocket motors, and campus buildouts." That's about role.
- "As a member of the team, you will lead design projects consisting of multi-discipline teams of engineers and architects from design kick-off through construction. You will primarily support federal projects for Defense Contractors or Department of Defense and Federal Civilian clients using Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, or other Lean Design-Build delivery methods." That's responsibilities.
- "Desired base office locations to serve our clients’ needs are St. Louis, MO, or Kansas City, MO." That's location info; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate "Location" but not required heading; we can embed in paragraph.
- "You’ll lead projects by effective, skilled project management techniques to enhance the design solutions, leverage project delivery costs, and add value to the business. You’ll play an integral role in forming long-term client relationships, engaging team members on projects, and collaborating with talented resources throughout Jacobs. Design your career with a company that inspires and empowers you to deliver your best work so you and your teams can evolve, grow, and succeed." That's more about role.
- Then "Responsibilities include" bullet list: Actually they list responsibilities in paragraph style: "Successfully manage multiple projects simultaneously, completed on time, within project and construction budgets and in accordance with agreed scope. Serve as the primary point of contact with the client from beginning to end. Develop the project proposal fees and scope by coordination with discipline directors and design leads for specific budget and scope definition to then lead in fee negotiations with the client. Facilitate the creation of communication plans, ensuring that appropriate information is exchanged among key stakeholders, and conduct status review meetings among project team members and clients through project execution. Determine, monitor and manage the financial project metrics, schedules and staffing requirements for each project. Guide the overall development and quality of the project documents and adherence with Jacobs Quality Program."
We need to turn these into
- list.
- Then "Here's what you'll need Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering or Architecture Experience as a client facing Design Project Manager managing multiple disciplines US Citizenship Ideally, You’ll Also Have Professional Registration (PE) or Registered Architect (RA) is preferred. Project Management Institute (PMI) Certification will be considered Demonstrated design and project management experience within Federal and/or DOD markets Project management and project execution experience with Defense Industrial Clients Experience leading design teams in Design-Build contracts"
We need to separate Requirements and Qualifications maybe. The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: intro paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: list.
- Requirements: maybe "Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering or Architecture", "Experience as a client facing Design Project Manager managing multiple disciplines", "US Citizenship". Those are hard requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe "Professional Registration (PE) or Registered Architect (RA) is preferred.", "Project Management Institute (PMI) Certification will be considered", "Demonstrated design and project management experience within Federal and/or DOD markets", "Project management and project execution experience with Defense Industrial Clients", "Experience leading design teams in Design-Build contracts". Those are preferred qualifications.
- Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we could infer but better not to create a Skills section if no explicit skills. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they said we can use those headings if content exists. We have both.
- Benefits: They list health and welfare benefits: medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, 401(k), ability to purchase company stock at a discount, deferred compensation plan or Executive Deferral Plan, unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) policy for full-time salaried/exempt employees, seven paid holidays, caregiver leave, certain roles may be eligible for additional rewards including merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, stock. That's substantive. So Benefits section.
- Pay: They give base salary range: $111,500.00 to $177,700.00. Also mention individual pay determined by work location and additional factors. That's substantive. So Pay section.
- Schedule: They mention hybrid working policy: "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 info. Also mention "We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery." That's schedule/hybrid. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not include boilerplate: EEO statement, "All qualified applicants will receive consideration..." that's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "Job posted on June 12, 2026. This position will be open for at least 3 days." That's metadata; we can drop or fold into short p? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph for posting date maybe but it's minor metadata; we could drop it. Safer to drop.
Also "If you require further support or reasonable adjustments..." that's application instructions/support; remove.
Also "Your application experience is important to us..." that's application instructions; remove.
Also "We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial..." we kept for schedule.
