Lead Substation Protection and Control Engineer
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive information.
We need to parse the posting and extract relevant content.
Let's identify sections:
- About the role / description: The initial paragraph about Leidos, mission, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Leidos". But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting:
- Description: "Looking for an opportunity to make an impact? At Leidos, we deliver innovative solutions..." This is about the role/company. Could be "About the role". We'll include that.
- Responsibilities: The "The Challenge" bullet list: Lead and support delivery..., Create and refine..., Develop..., Produce..., Design..., Build..., Perform..., Contribute..., Provide..., Apply..., Interpret..., Partner..., Successful candidates must comply... This is responsibilities.
- Requirements/Qualifications: "What Sets You Apart" bullet list: Bachelor's degree..., Experience in leading..., Ability to communicate..., Proven ability..., Demonstrated ability..., Self‑starter..., Strong analytical..., High level..., Willingness to travel... Also "You Might Also Have": Engineer Intern certification, PE License, Master's degree, Field testing/commissioning experience. Those could be qualifications or preferred qualifications.
- Skills: Could be derived from responsibilities and requirements but we may not need separate Skills if content overlaps. But we could include a Skills section summarizing technical skills: protection & controls design, AC/DC circuit expertise, relay one-line diagrams, AC schematics, DC control schematics, control panels, wiring diagrams, BOM, QC checks, NEC, utility-specific standards, etc. However we must not invent or summarize away detail; we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we create a Skills section, we need to ensure we are not losing info; we could just keep the info in Responsibilities/Requirements. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine.
- Benefits: The posting mentions "Successful Candidates Can Look Forward To a Fast‑paced, Highly Collaborative Environment Where No Two Days Feel The Same. You’ll Enjoy Flexible Work Arrangements, a Supportive Leadership Team, And a Culture That Actively Invests In Your Growth. Expect Meaningful Opportunities To Advance Your Career Through Professional Engineer (PE) licensure support Project Management Professional (PMP) development Technical and non‑technical training designed to sharpen your expertise Leadership pathways that let you take on greater responsibility Mentorship and coaching from experienced engineers and managers The opportunity to lead, grow, and inspire a dynamic, high‑performing team". That's benefits/culture. Also later "Pay And Benefits" section mentions competitive compensation, Health and Wellness programs, Income Protection, Paid Leave and Retirement. Also "We believe that diversity and inclusion..." etc. So we have benefits content.
- Pay: The posting includes "Pay Range Pay Range $107,900.00 - $195,050.00". Also note about pay range being guideline. So we have pay info.
- Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's no mention of schedule (e.g., full-time, part-time, shift). So we should not create a Schedule section.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (or Requirements), Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Skills but we can skip to avoid thin.
We must not include headings with filler text. Ensure we don't include empty sections.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, etc. Must not omit any.
We need to be careful not to include boilerplate like "Original Posting September 25, 2026", "For U.S. Positions: While subject to change...", "Pay Range Pay Range ... The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only...". We need to keep the pay range info but can we keep the disclaimer? It's substantive? It's about pay range being guideline. It's part of pay info. We'll include it as part of Pay section.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to cut out the scam warning, commitment to non-discrimination, etc. Also remove "About Leidos" repeated paragraphs? There's a paragraph about Leidos mission etc repeated twice. We need to preserve substantive information but not duplicate. We'll include only once.
We need to ensure we don't include "To explore and learn more, click here!" etc.
We need to keep the description about Leidos mission etc as part of About the role.
Let's extract substantive content:
**About the role / company overview**:
- "Looking for an opportunity to make an impact? At Leidos, we deliver innovative solutions through the efforts of our diverse and talented people who are dedicated to our customers’ success. Everything we do is built on a commitment to do the right thing for our customers, our people, and our community. Our Mission, Vision, and Values guide the way we do business. Your greatest work is ahead! We are looking for a Senior / Lead Substation Protection & Controls Engineer to join our team."
But we must not repeat the job title as a heading; but we can include it in prose. It's okay.
We could also include later: "As a Lead Substation Protection & Controls Engineer, you’ll own complex P&C designs across 12–500 kV systems, applying advanced digital logic and AC/DC circuit expertise to engineer solutions that protect the modern grid and enable renewable integration. If you’re ready for high‑voltage challenges and high‑visibility impact, this is your next step."
That's also part of role description.
Also: "Successful Candidates Can Look Forward To a Fast‑paced, Highly Collaborative Environment Where No Two Days Feel The Same. You’ll Enjoy Flexible Work Arrangements, a Supportive Leadership Team, And a Culture That Actively Invests In Your Growth. Expect Meaningful Opportunities To Advance Your Career Through Professional Engineer (PE) licensure support Project Management Professional (PMP) development Technical and non‑technical training designed to sharpen your expertise Leadership pathways that let you take on greater responsibility Mentorship and coaching from experienced engineers and managers The opportunity to lead, grow, and inspire a dynamic, high‑performing team"
That could be part of Benefits or About the role. But we have a Benefits section later.
We also have: "Begin your journey of a flourishing and meaningful career, share your resume with us today!" That's application instruction; we should remove.
Now responsibilities (The Challenge):
List:
- Lead and support the delivery of substation protection and control design projects, ensuring technical excellence and on‑time performance.

Now benefits:
From "Successful Candidates Can Look Forward To ..." we already captured some. Also later "Pay And Benefits" section: "Pay and benefits are fundamental to any career decision. That's why we craft compensation packages that reflect the importance of the work we do for our customers. Employment benefits include competitive compensation, Health and Wellness programs, Income Protection, Paid Leave and Retirement. More details are available at www.leidos.com/careers/pay-benefits."
Also earlier: "We empower our teams, contribute to our communities, and operate sustainably. Everything we do is built on a commitment to do the right thing for our customers, our people, and our community. Our Mission, Vision, and Values guide the way we do business. We take care of our employees. Leidos seeks the best and the brightest, and in return, we invest in you, with an eye on your future, through career advancement, growth opportunities and continuous improvement via mentoring, formal and informal project management training and assistance with obtaining pertinent certifications.

We believe that diversity and inclusion make us all better and offer the chance to have fun and make a difference."
But we must remove EEO/non-discrimination boilerplate. The diversity and inclusion statement is not EEO? It's about diversity and inclusion; might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Diversity and inclusion could be considered EEO-related; but it's not a legal disclaimer; it's a value statement. Might be okay to keep? Safer to remove? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The diversity and inclusion statement is related to EEO. I'd remove it to be safe.
Also we need to remove "PowerDelivery PDSSUBSTATION If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling." etc.
Also remove "Step 10 is ancient history..." etc.
Also remove "Original Posting September 25, 2026" etc.
Also remove "For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above."
Also remove "Pay Range Pay Range $107,900.00
