We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities? The posting includes sections: "About The Role", then "Key Contributions" with subsections: Technical Leadership & Power Systems, Strategic Impact & Business Development, Mentorship, Standards & Design-Build Delivery. Also "Here's what you'll need" includes Education, PE License, Experience, etc. Also "Ideally, You'll Also Have". Also "Work Environment". Also "Our health and welfare benefits..." includes benefits. Also "The base salary range..." includes pay. Also schedule? Not explicit schedule but mentions hybrid working policy, travel up to 10-15%, on-call availability. Could infer schedule? Not explicit schedule like full-time, etc. We should only include sections when posting has real specific content. Pay: yes base salary range given. Benefits: yes health and welfare benefits described. Schedule: not explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, shift; but mentions hybrid working policy, travel, on-call. Could treat as "Work Environment" maybe includes schedule? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include sections that match content: About the role, Responsibilities (maybe Key Contributions), Requirements (Education, PE License, Experience), Qualifications (maybe Ideally You'll Also Have), Skills (Tools & Delivery, Power Analysis Tools, Codes & Standards), Benefits, Pay. Schedule maybe not present; we should not create if not specific. So we will include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Also maybe Work Environment? Not in list but could be included as its own section? The instruction says use those headings as examples, not limited to them? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely we should stick to those headings where applicable. Work Environment could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? Might be better to include as its own section? But not in list; maybe we can incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities. Safer to stick to given headings. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to extract content. Let's parse. First paragraph: At Jacobs, we're challenging today... (mission statement). This is generic fluff but maybe part of About the role? It's not specific to role. Might be considered boilerplate? It's generic company description. Could be considered part of About the role? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The mission statement is not boilerplate but maybe considered generic fluff. However it's part of the posting; we could keep it as part of About the role? The "About The Role" heading appears later. The preceding paragraph could be considered intro; we could include it under About the role as prose. Then "Your impact This position is open at any U.S. location near a Jacobs office. We intend to hire the best candidate regardless of geography." This is location info; could be part of About the role or maybe Work Environment. Not a heading we have; maybe include in About the role. Then "About The Role At Jacobs, we never settle — we push boundaries, elevate standards, and deliver with purpose. Power is the foundational constraint..." This is the role description. We'll put under About the role. Then "Key Contributions" with three bullet-like sections each with multiple sentences. We'll treat as Responsibilities. Use

    • for each duty? The content includes multiple sentences per bullet; we could split each major duty as
    • . The subheadings: Technical Leadership & Power Systems, Strategic Impact & Business Development, Mentorship, Standards & Design-Build Delivery. Each contains multiple sentences; we can keep them as
    • with the sentences inside. Then "Here's what you'll need" includes Education, PE License, Experience, Power Systems, Power Analysis Tools, Codes & Standards, Tools & Delivery. We'll treat as Requirements (maybe also Qualifications). We need to decide which heading to use. The instruction lists Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could map: Education, PE License, Experience as Requirements. Power Systems, Power Analysis Tools, Codes & Standards as Qualifications? Or Skills. Tools & Delivery as Skills. Ideally, You'll Also Have as Qualifications (preferred). Work Environment maybe not needed. We need to avoid thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we need to follow headings examples; we can include multiple sections if they have content. Let's plan sections: - About the role (h3) containing intro paragraphs and role description. - Responsibilities (h3) containing Key Contributions subpoints. - Requirements (h3) containing Education, PE License, Experience. - Qualifications (h3) containing Ideally, You'll Also Have items. - Skills (h3) containing Power Systems, Power Analysis Tools, Codes & Standards, Tools & Delivery. - Benefits (h3) containing health and welfare benefits description. - Pay (h3) containing base salary range. We should not include Schedule. Now we need to extract content precisely. Let's copy relevant text. About the role intro: "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. Your impact This position is open at any U.S. location near a Jacobs office. We intend to hire the best candidate regardless of geography. 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." We need to ensure we don't duplicate "About The Role" heading; we will use

      About the role

      and then put the prose. Now Responsibilities: Key Contributions. We have three sections: 1. Technical Leadership & Power Systems Text: "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." We need to keep as one
    • maybe. 2.
