Engineering$191k–$263k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - About The Role: paragraph describing role. - Key Contributions: includes Technical Leadership & Power Systems, Strategic Impact & Business Development, Mentorship, Standards & Design-Build Delivery. This could be considered Responsibilities. - Here's what you'll need: Education, PE License, Experience, Power Systems, Power Analysis Tools, Codes & Standards, Tools & Delivery. This is Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. - Ideally, You'll Also Have: additional desirable qualifications (hyperscale clients, AI/GPU, commissioning, industry presence). Could be Skills or Qualifications. - Work Environment: description of travel, on-call, collaborative environment. Could be Schedule? Not exactly schedule but work environment. Could be a section maybe "Work Environment" but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map Work Environment to Schedule? Not really. Could include as part of Responsibilities? Might be better to include as a separate section but not allowed. Perhaps we can incorporate into Responsibilities or Requirements? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine. - Benefits: paragraph about health and welfare benefits, medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, 401(k), ability to purchase company stock at discount, deferred compensation plan, Executive Deferral Plan, unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) policy, seven paid holidays, caregiver leave, merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, stock. - Pay: base salary range $191,300 to $263,000. - Schedule: Not explicitly given. There's mention of "Primarily office-based with up to 10% - 15% travel to project sites and client locations; on-call availability for active commissioning programs and critical electrical system support." That's more work environment/travel. Not schedule like hours. Could we create Schedule section with that? It's not exactly schedule but maybe we can treat as Schedule (travel, on-call). The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state travel and on-call availability, which could be considered schedule aspects. So we can include Schedule section with that info. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from About The Role, Key Contributions, Requirements, Ideally You'll Also Have, Benefits, Pay, Work Environment (travel/on-call). We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep specifics. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide which content goes into which section. Let's outline:

    About the role

    At Jacobs, we never settle — we push boundaries, elevate standards, and deliver with purpose. Power is the foundational constraint of every hyperscale data center program, and the Electrical SME is the technical authority Jacobs and its clients depend on to solve it. You will shape electrical infrastructure strategy from utility interconnection through to IT equipment receptacle — medium-voltage distribution, UPS topology, generator plant design, switchgear paralleling, arc flash safety programs, and the escalating power density demands of AI and GPU-dense compute environments. This role blends deep power systems expertise with client-facing leadership, strategic pursuit involvement, and discipline mentorship across a portfolio of hyperscale and mission-critical programs.

    That's the About The Role paragraph. Now Responsibilities: Could be the Key Contributions broken into bullet lists. We have three sub-sections: Technical Leadership & Power Systems, Strategic Impact & Business Development, Mentorship, Standards & Design-Build Delivery. We can create a
      with each bullet containing the detailed responsibilities. We must preserve all details. Let's extract each bullet's content. Technical Leadership & Power Systems: - Lead upfront power systems planning with hyperscale clients — defining MV/LV distribution architecture, redundancy strategies (2N, N+1, 2(N+1)), and utility interconnection approaches aligned with owner reliability and sustainability requirements. - Drive the full power chain from medium-voltage switchgear through UPS, generator paralleling, transfer switching, PDUs, and busway; lead power systems studies including short-circuit analysis, protective device coordination, arc flash per IEEE 1584, and load flow modeling using ETAP, SKM PowerTools, or equivalent. - Champion innovation in power efficiency, BESS integration, renewable energy, and AI/GPU power density scaling to 20–60+ kW per rack; develop and maintain Jacobs' electrical standards, master specifications, and calculation libraries for the data center practice. - Provide technical governance for electrical deliverables across discipline teams and GID partners — reviewing calculations, drawings, and submittals for quality and code compliance; support commissioning and integrated systems testing (IST) of critical power systems. Strategic Impact & Business Development: - Act as the external face of Jacobs' electrical expertise — presenting at client workshops and industry forums including AFCOM, 7x24 Exchange, Uptime Institute, and IEEE; participate in RFP responses and competitive presentations that translate complex power systems engineering into strategic narrative for owner-side decision-makers. - Partner with business development and delivery leadership to win high-value data center programs through technical differentiation, proposal content, and articulation of Jacobs' power systems value proposition. - Influence Jacobs' delivery strategy through identification of emerging power system technologies, evolving hyperscale client requirements, and technical differentiation opportunities. Mentorship, Standards & Design-Build Delivery: - Mentor and coach electrical engineers and designers within the data center practice; build and sustain an internal knowledge base of reusable calculation packages, specification libraries, and reference designs that improve delivery quality and velocity. - Represent Jacobs in IEEE Power and Energy Society, NFPA, 7x24 Exchange, and Uptime Institute; contribute to industry working groups, standards development, and external thought leadership through technical publications and conference presentations. - Balance strategic initiatives with hands-on project execution; apply technical authority within Design-Build delivery structures — advocating for design intent under contractor challenge and ensuring compliance with NEC (NFPA 70), NFPA 110, NFPA 72, IEEE 3000-series, NESC, IEC, and Uptime Institute Tier classification criteria. Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. We have Education, PE License, Experience, Power Systems, Power Analysis Tools, Codes & Standards, Tools & Delivery. We could combine into Requirements (maybe Education, Experience, Licensure) and Qualifications (technical expertise) and Skills (tools). But we need to decide. Given we want few substantive sections, we could have: - Requirements: Education, PE License, Experience. - Qualifications: Power Systems expertise, Power Analysis Tools proficiency, Codes & Standards knowledge. - Skills: Tools & Delivery (AutoCAD Electrical, Revit MEP, Bluebeam, BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud) plus maybe other skills like design intent management. But the "Ideally, You'll Also Have" could be added to Skills or Qualifications as desirable. We must not create sections with filler. So we need to ensure each section has real content. Let's craft:

      Requirements

      • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited program; Master's degree preferred.
      • PE License (Required): Active Electrical PE licensure in at least one U.S. state; NCEES record maintained for reciprocal licensure. PE is a condition of employment — candidates without active licensure will not be advanced.

      Pay

      The base salary range for this position is $191,300.00 to $263,000.00. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

      Schedule: We have work environment: Primarily office-based with up to 10% - 15% travel to project sites and client locations; on-call availability for active commissioning programs and critical electrical system support. Also mention hybrid working policy: split work week between offices/projects and remote locations. We can put that in Schedule.

      Schedule

      Primarily office-based with up to 10%‑15% travel to project sites and client locations; on‑call availability for active commissioning programs and critical electrical system support. Hybrid working policy allows splitting the work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations.

      We must not include any boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Check that we haven't missed any substantive info: The "About Jacobs" introductory paragraph about challenging today to reinvent tomorrow etc. That's generic fluff; maybe we should include? It's part of the posting but not specific to role. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The introductory paragraph is somewhat generic but still part of posting.
