Facilities Project Manager IV
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only if posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (intro description). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe some skills listed). Benefits (some description). Pay (hiring range). Schedule (maybe work environment mentions onsite-only, occasional non-standard hours). We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay range. So include Pay section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, navigation, cookie, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide which content goes where.
Let's parse:
Intro paragraph: "New ideas are all around us...". That's about JPL and mission. Could be About the role.
Then description of JPL location, environment, division, etc. That's also about role.
Then "Your mission—your opportunity—is to seek out the answers..." That's also about role.
Then details about Facilities and Logistics Operations Division etc. That's role context.
Then "Within this division, the Facilities Engineering & Construction Section (641), which provides the planning, design, engineering, and construction services for the efficient and timely delivery of Facilities Construction Projects, is seeking a Facilities Project Manager IV to lead the end-to-end delivery of highly complex, high-visibility engineering and construction projects that modernize office environments, institutional infrastructure, and mission-critical laboratories, cleanrooms, and test integration spaces."
Then "Reporting to the Facilities Project Management Group Supervisor..." etc. That's responsibilities.
Then a big list of responsibilities starting with "Responsibilities include but are not limited to:" then many bullet-like sentences separated by semicolons. We need to turn into
- .
Then "Required Qualifications:" then bullet-like sentences.
Then "Preferred Qualifications:" then bullet-like sentences.
Then "Work Environment" paragraph.
Then "JPL has a catalog of benefits and perks..." paragraph about benefits.
Then "For benefits eligible positions, benefits are effective..." maybe part of benefits.
Then "The hiring range displayed below is specifically for those who will work in or reside in the location listed. In extending an offer, Jet Propulsion Laboratory considers factors including, but not limited to, the candidate’s job related skills, experience, knowledge, and relevant education/training. The typical full time equivalent annual hiring range for this job in Pasadena, California. $146,536 - $184,704"
That's pay.
Then EEO etc to remove.
Thus sections:
- About the role (intro + location + division description)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Required Qualifications (list)
- Preferred Qualifications (list)
- Skills (maybe we can extract skills from qualifications? But we have separate Skills section optional; we could put skills under Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for Skills if we have content. We could create Skills section summarizing skills like "Verbal/written/presentation skills, ability to author executive reports, negotiate contract disputes, present technical/financial data". But those are in Required Qualifications. Might be better to keep them under Required Qualifications. However we need to decide if we should create a Skills section. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Required Qualifications and Skills? But they ask to use headings for Skills if we have content. We could create Skills section pulling out skill-related items from Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. But that would duplicate content. Better to keep Required Qualifications as is, and not create Skills unless we have distinct skill statements not covered elsewhere. The Required Qualifications includes "Excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills, with proven ability to author executive reports, negotiate contract disputes, and present technical/financial data to leadership and external partners." That's a skill. Also Preferred includes certifications etc. Could treat those as Qualifications.
Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Work Environment (maybe Schedule). Work Environment includes onsite-only, field visits, occasional non-standard hours. That could be Schedule? Actually schedule section is for work hours, shift, etc. We have "Work Environment This is an onsite-only position requiring frequent field visits across the JPL campus and facilities, including office environments, active construction sites, and operational facilities. Occasional work during non-standard hours may be required to support critical project milestones and institutional operational needs." That's more about work environment/schedule. Could be Schedule section. But we have also Benefits section.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Thus sections:
About the role
with paragraphs.
Responsibilities
with - each responsibility.
Required Qualifications
with - .
Preferred Qualifications
with - .
Benefits
with describing benefits.
Pay
with showing range.
Schedule
maybe with about onsite-only, field visits, occasional non-standard hours.
We must not include sections with filler. All have content.
We must not repeat job title.
We must not include markdown fences.
Output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine introductory paragraphs up to before Responsibilities.
Let's extract:
"New ideas are all around us, but only a few will change the world. That’s our focus at JPL. We ask the biggest questions, then search the universe for answers—literally. We build upon ideas that have guided generations, then share our discoveries to inspire generations to come. Your mission—your opportunity—is to seek out the answers that bring us one step closer. If you’re driven to discover, create, and inspire something that lasts a lifetime and beyond, you’re ready for JPL. Located in Pasadena, California, JPL has a campus-like environment situated on 177 acres in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and offers a work environment unlike any other: we inspire passion, foster innovation, build collaboration, and reward excellence. The Facilities and Logistics Operations Division (6400) oversees the physical development, maintenance, and safe operation of the Laboratory’s infrastructure to enable advanced workplaces, resilient systems, and uninterrupted mission support. Within this division, the Facilities Engineering & Construction Section (641), which provides the planning, design, engineering, and construction services for the efficient and timely delivery of Facilities Construction Projects, is seeking a Facilities Project Manager IV to lead the end-to-end delivery of highly complex, high-visibility engineering and construction projects that modernize office environments, institutional infrastructure, and mission-critical laboratories, cleanrooms, and test integration spaces."
That's good.
Now Responsibilities: list each item after "Responsibilities include but are not limited to:" until before "Required Qualifications:".
We need to split by semicolons? The text:
"Direct the complete lifecycle of complex engineering and construction projects from concept, feasibility, and ROM estimates through commissioning and closeout; prepare project packages supporting NASA CoF submissions, budget calls, and the JPL Master Plan.Work without appreciable direction under general guidance, exercising wide latitude and independent judgment to resolve complex engineering and operational challenges, evaluate precedential decisions, and authorize technical deviations.Serve as project manager coordinating internal section resources—partnering seamlessly with Engineering & Design (technical authorities and design criteria) and Construction Management (field oversight, safety, and inspection)—as well as institutional clients, environmental health and safety (EHS), and flight mission teams.Lead project scopes involving high- and medium-voltage distribution, site utility infrastructure, and specialized research facilities. Coordinate facility interfaces with mission and flight hardware requirements, including cleanroom protocols, environmental/thermal controls, EMI/EMC shielding, and cleanliness constraints.Partner with institutional acquisition personnel to establish optimal contracting strategies (Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, Fixed-Price, Task-Order). Develop complex Statements of Work (SOWs) and RFP packages; generate Purchase Requests for fixed-price work and Subcontract Work Orders (SWOs) for task-order contractors; administer architect-engineer (A-E) task assignments, consultant agreements, and construction subcontracts.Establish and manage integrated baseline schedules, cost projections, and spend plans. Rigorously evaluate financial forecasts against earned progress, review and approve contractor invoice billings, resolve cost discrepancies, and lead change order negotiations.Conduct and direct comprehensive site investigations of existing buildings and utilities, evaluating structural/utility capacities, environmental hazards, and occupant impacts. Investigate on-site construction incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and author formal reports and corrective action plans.Inspect and monitor tenant improvement, renovation, and construction activities for conformance to plan, schedule, budget, and safety regulations. Establish and enforce comprehensive punch-lists, lead final acceptance walkthroughs, and verify non-conformance rectifications.Lead the operational "handshake" to maintenance and operations teams. Direct job closure through Service Request Control; ensure rigorous technical audit, verification, and archiving of contractor red-lines, A-E as-built documents, commissioning reports, and O&M manuals.Advise group and section leadership on project risks, resource allocation, and capital portfolio priorities. Form multidisciplinary project teams and actively mentor and coach early- and mid-career project managers and technical staff within the group.Represent JPL in regular interfaces with industry partners, architect-engineer firms, regulatory authorities, and other NASA centers."
We need to split into sensible list items. Could break at each period that starts a new capitalized phrase after a semicolon? But easier: treat each sentence separated by period as an item, but some sentences are long with semicolons inside. We'll just split by periods that are followed by a space and capital letter (or start of new sentence). Let's attempt to produce list items:
1. Direct the complete lifecycle of complex engineering and construction projects from concept, feasibility, and ROM estimates through commissioning and closeout; prepare project packages supporting NASA CoF submissions, budget calls, and the JPL Master Plan.
2. Work without appreciable direction under general guidance, exercising wide latitude and independent judgment to resolve complex engineering and operational challenges, evaluate precedential decisions, and authorize technical deviations.
3. Serve as project manager coordinating internal section resources—partnering seamlessly with Engineering & Design (technical authorities and design criteria) and Construction Management (field oversight, safety, and inspection)—as well as institutional clients, environmental health and safety (EHS), and flight mission teams.
4. Lead project scopes involving high- and medium-voltage distribution, site utility infrastructure, and specialized research facilities. Coordinate facility interfaces with mission and flight hardware requirements, including cleanroom protocols, environmental/thermal controls, EMI/EMC shielding, and cleanliness constraints.
Actually that's two sentences; we could split: "Lead project scopes involving high- and medium-voltage distribution, site utility infrastructure, and specialized research facilities." and "Coordinate facility interfaces with mission and flight hardware requirements, including cleanroom protocols, environmental/thermal controls, EMI/EMC shielding, and cleanliness constraints."
5. Partner with institutional acquisition personnel to establish optimal contracting strategies (Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, Fixed-Price, Task-Order).
6. Develop complex Statements of Work (SOWs) and RFP packages; generate Purchase Requests for fixed-price work and Subcontract Work Orders (SWOs) for task-order contractors; administer architect-engineer (A-E) task assignments, consultant agreements, and construction subcontracts.
7. Establish and manage integrated baseline schedules, cost projections, and spend plans. Rigorously evaluate financial forecasts against earned progress, review and approve contractor invoice billings, resolve

Then "Required Qualifications:" then bullet-like sentences.
Then "Preferred Qualifications:" then bullet-like sentences.
Then "Work Environment" paragraph.
Then "JPL has a catalog of benefits and perks..." paragraph about benefits.
Then "For benefits eligible positions, benefits are effective..." maybe part of benefits.
Then "The hiring range displayed below is specifically for those who will work in or reside in the location listed.

That's pay.
Then EEO etc to remove.
Thus sections:
- About the role (intro + location + division description)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Required Qualifications (list)
- Preferred Qualifications (list)
- Skills (maybe we can extract skills from qualifications? But we have separate Skills section optional; we could put skills under Qualifications?
