Business Development$62k–$96k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of impact and role. We'll need headings: About the role (maybe "About the role" or "Overview"), Responsibilities, Qualifications (or Requirements), Benefits, Pay, Schedule? The posting mentions hybrid working policy but not schedule specifics. It mentions unlimited PPTO, holidays, caregiver leave. That's benefits. Pay: base salary range given. Schedule: not explicit; hybrid working policy indicates flexible work arrangement but not schedule specifics. Should we include Schedule? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Pay is stated (salary range). Benefits are stated (medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401k, stock purchase, deferred compensation, PPTO, holidays, caregiver leave, merit increases, bonus, stock). So include Benefits and Pay. Schedule: not explicit schedule like hours; hybrid working policy is about location not schedule. Probably not include Schedule. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Use

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

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate (EEO, cookie/navigation/legal, duplicated lines, application instructions). The posting includes EEO statement at end; we should remove that. Also remove "Job posted on September 18, 2026. This position will be open for at least 3 days." That's metadata; could be folded into short

    or drop. Probably drop as minor metadata. Also remove "At Jacobs, we're challenging today..." that's introductory fluff but maybe part of About the role? It's generic corporate fluff; but we need to preserve substantive information. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The intro fluff may be considered boilerplate? It's not exactly boilerplate but it's generic marketing. Might be okay to keep as part of About the role? However we should keep substantive info about role. The intro is not specific to role; could be considered filler. Might drop it. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; the intro is not substantive about the job. So we can drop it. We need sections: About the role (maybe "About the role" or "Overview") containing description of impact and role. Then Responsibilities (list). Then Qualifications/Requirements (list). Then Benefits (list). Then Pay (maybe a paragraph). Ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's extract substantive content: Impact/role description: "Your impact The Electric Transmission Entry Level Siting Analyst will support electric utility clients, developers, and other infrastructure clients on transmission projects throughout planning, routing, siting, permitting, and stakeholder engagement phases. The position will contribute to the successful development of transmission facilities, including overhead and underground lines, substations, interconnections, and related infrastructure. Responsibilities will range from supporting individual technical tasks to leading complete siting workstreams, managing project teams, and providing strategic client guidance. The successful candidate will demonstrate sound judgment, strong organizational and communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively across engineering, environmental, regulatory, real estate, legal, and stakeholder-engagement disciplines." Then "Core functions of the job may include" list: Support electric transmission siting activities, corridor/route evaluations, and substation/interconnection site screening from early feasibility through development. Conduct desktop research, field reconnaissance, constraint screening, and comparative route analyses using GIS, aerial imagery, technical studies, and public data. Coordinate with utility clients, engineers, environmental specialists, survey crews, real estate teams, regulators, municipalities, and community stakeholders. Assist in preparing siting study reports, routing memoranda, permitting strategies, exhibits, presentations, and project trackers. Maintain accurate project records, correspondence logs, decision histories, data responses, and document repositories. Identify risks affecting route viability, cost, schedule, permitting, property acquisition, or public acceptance, escalating complex issues appropriately. Assist with internal siting tools, templates, workflows, and best practices. Then "The Entry Level Siting Analyst supports day-to-day project activities under the direction of a Siting Lead or Senior Siting Lead." Then "Primary Responsibilities" list: Perform research and compile environmental, land-use, property, regulatory, and infrastructure data. Support GIS mapping, constraint screening, route comparisons, and data-quality checks. Assist with field reconnaissance, meeting preparation, site documentation, and stakeholder tracking. Draft assigned portions of technical reports, exhibits, presentations, correspondence, and project trackers. Coordinate assigned tasks with internal teams/consultants and communicate schedule concerns or data gaps promptly. Then "Here's what you'll need": Bachelor's degree in planning, geography, environmental science, engineering, natural resources, real estate, public policy, or a related discipline. 0-2 years of experience in environmental planning, permitting, infrastructure, utilities, GIS, or land use. Basic ability to interpret maps and technical documents with strong research, writing, and communication skills. Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools and exposure to ArcGIS or other mapping platforms. Willingness to travel periodically for site visits and project meetings. Then "Ideally, You'll Also Have": Direct experience supporting electric transmission or comparable linear infrastructure projects. Proven ability to manage multiple task priorities within multidisciplinary teams. Then benefits: "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. Employees have access to medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance, a 401(k) plan, and the ability to purchase company stock at a discount. Eligible employees may also enroll in a deferred compensation plan or the Executive Deferral Plan. Jacobs has an unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) policy for full-time salaried/exempt employees, seven paid holidays, and caregiver leave. And certain roles may be eligible for additional rewards, including merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, and stock." Pay: "The base salary range for this position is $61,700.00 to $96,350.00. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training." 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." This is about work arrangement, not schedule. Could be included in About the role or Benefits? Might be considered a benefit (flexible work). But instruction: only include Benefits if posting actually states them. It does state hybrid working policy. Could be part of Benefits section. However we already have benefits list; we could add a bullet about hybrid working policy. But we need to decide if we want to create a separate Schedule section? Not needed. We should not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat. Now produce HTML:

    About the role

    The Electric Transmission Entry Level Siting Analyst will support electric utility clients, developers, and other infrastructure clients on transmission projects throughout planning, routing, siting, permitting, and stakeholder engagement phases. The position will contribute to the successful development of transmission facilities, including overhead and underground lines, substations, interconnections, and related infrastructure. Responsibilities will range from supporting individual technical tasks to leading complete siting workstreams, managing project teams, and providing strategic client guidance. The successful candidate will demonstrate sound judgment, strong organizational and communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively across engineering, environmental, regulatory, real estate, legal, and stakeholder-engagement disciplines.

    Responsibilities

    • Support electric transmission siting activities, corridor/route evaluations, and substation/interconnection site screening from early feasibility through development.
    • Conduct desktop research, field reconnaissance, constraint screening, and comparative route analyses using GIS, aerial imagery, technical studies, and public data.

    • Coordinate assigned tasks with internal teams/consultants and communicate schedule concerns or data gaps promptly.
    But note some responsibilities overlap with core functions and primary responsibilities; we can combine but we must preserve all substantive info; duplication is okay? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid repeating same bullet. The core functions list and primary responsibilities list have overlapping items. We should merge them into a single list without duplicates. Let's combine unique items. List unique responsibilities: - Support electric transmission siting activities, corridor/route evaluations, and substation/interconnection site screening from early feasibility through development. - Conduct desktop research, field reconnaissance, constraint screening, and comparative route analyses using GIS, aerial imagery, technical studies, and public data. - Coordinate with utility clients, engineers, environmental specialists, survey crews, real estate teams, regulators, municipalities, and community stakeholders. - Assist in preparing siting study reports, routing memoranda, permitting strategies, exhibits, presentations, and project trackers. - Maintain accurate project records, correspondence logs, decision histories, data responses, and document repositories. - Identify risks affecting route viability, cost, schedule, permitting, property acquisition, or public acceptance, escalating complex issues appropriately. - Assist with internal siting tools, templates, workflows, and best practices. - Perform research and compile environmental, land-use, property, regulatory, and infrastructure data. (This is similar to first bullet? Actually first bullet is about siting activities; this is about research compile data. Could be distinct.) - Support GIS mapping, constraint screening, route comparisons, and data-quality checks. (Similar to second bullet but more specific.) - Assist with field reconnaissance, meeting preparation, site documentation, and stakeholder tracking. (Similar to second bullet but more specific.) - Draft assigned portions of technical reports, exhibits, presentations, correspondence, and project trackers. (Similar to fourth bullet but more specific.) - Coordinate assigned tasks with internal teams/consultants and communicate schedule concerns or data gaps promptly. (Similar to coordinate bullet but more specific.) We could keep both sets but avoid exact duplicates. Many are similar but not identical. Might be okay to keep both as they add detail. However instruction: remove duplicated lines. If they are not exact duplicates, it's fine. We'll keep them. Now Qualifications/Requirements section:
