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 Jacobs is seeking a Mid-Level Dam and Hydropower Engineer to join our dynamic Northwest team and take on a pivotal regional role supporting the delivery of dams, hydropower, fish passage, and hydraulic steel structure projects, including radial gates, gate hoists, stop logs, bulkheads, and other water control features primarily across the Pacific Northwest and California, with opportunities to support projects nationwide and internationally. Consistently ranked #1 by ENR in top water industry markets, Jacobs offers a full-service platform—from planning and design through construction—and you’ll be at the forefront of shaping major water infrastructure programs for federal government agencies, public utilities, irrigation districts, and other agencies throughout the region. Our team is currently delivering a diverse portfolio of civil projects, hydropower, fish passage, irrigation, and hatchery projects in the Northwest, as well as supporting the largest water infrastructure program in California. In this role, you’ll collaborate and partner with experts in dams, diversion structures, intakes, fish screens, pipelines, canals, pump stations, reservoirs, radial gates, slide gates, stop logs, bulkheads, embedded steel components, gate hoists, cranes, and other hydraulic steel structures associated with water storage and conveyance facilities. You’ll lead multidisciplinary teams through complex, high visibility projects while strengthening and expanding relationships with key regional clients. You’ll also play an important role in stakeholder engagement—partnering with communities, resource agencies, tribal nations, and local organizations to ensure that project solutions balance technical excellence with environmental stewardship, community priorities, and long-term regional resilience. Your work will help shape the interface between the built and human environment, ensuring that infrastructure investments deliver meaningful benefits to the people and ecosystems they serve. You’ll support business development efforts and may also serve as Project Engineer, Design Manager, or Client Sales Lead across a variety of programs—positioning Jacobs for continued growth and long-term success. As a Project Engineer, you’ll guide teams of engineers, planners, and technical specialists through planning and design, while partnering closely with clients to develop innovative conveyance and reservoir storage solutions that reflect community needs and regional priorities. With your experience, you will help guide our clients through challenging regulatory and permitting requirements. Typical assignments may include the design, evaluation, and rehabilitation of radial gates, vertical lift and slide gates, stop logs, bulkheads, hoists, embedded steel components, and associated operating machinery, including structural steel design, stress analysis, load path evaluation, gear train assessments, and rehabilitation planning. Your leadership will be instrumental in mentoring staff, shaping project strategies, and driving technical excellence. You’ll work in concert with our Northwest and California leadership teams, as well as our Global Conveyance and Storage and Global Dam Communities of Practice, to pursue and deliver some of the most challenging and rewarding water projects in the U.S. and beyond."
That's a lot; we can split into About the role (intro) and Responsibilities (list of duties). Let's extract responsibilities bullet points:
- Supporting delivery of dams, hydropower, fish passage, hydraulic steel structure projects (radial gates, gate hoists, stop logs, bulkheads, etc) across PNW, CA, nationwide/international.

We can put these as
- .
Requirements: list of needed qualifications/experience:
- Familiarity with applicable USACE, USBR, FERC, and industry guidance related to dams, hydropower facilities, hydraulic steel structures.
- Experience performing structural steel design and stress analysis for hydraulic steel structures, including gates, stop logs, bulkheads, embedded steel components, lifting systems, associated operating equipment.
- Demonstrated track record performing technical work and/or design management for complex, multidisciplinary projects.
- Proficient experience in dam, hydropower, and fisheries related engineering as a project manager or discipline lead.
- Proven ability to lead and coordinate multidisciplinary teams.
- Strong, well-rounded technical design skills across contributing disciplines.
- Recognized by clients as a trusted partner with strong working knowledge of hydraulics and reservoir facility design and planning.
- Bachelor’s degree in a related discipline such as Mechanical or Structural Engineering.
Qualifications (maybe "Ideally, You’ll Also Have"):
- Strong technical and project background in large water impoundment and diversion design, monitoring, and rehabilitation.
- Professional Engineering license in WA, OR, or ID (or ability to obtain within 6 months).
- Established relationships with regional clients and consulting partners in the Northwest.
- Familiarity with FERC licensing and other regulatory requirements.
- Experience engaging stakeholders and navigating community, environmental, and regulatory considerations.
- Passion for supporting market growth through client engagement and mentoring emerging talent.
Skills: maybe combine some overlapping but we can separate: technical skills like structural steel design, stress analysis, hydraulics, reservoir design, etc. But we already have many in requirements. Could create Skills section for soft skills: leadership, stakeholder engagement, mentoring, business development, client partnership. However we must not create thin sections. Might combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But instructions: use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. We have content for Requirements and Qualifications (Ideally). So we can have both.
Benefits: list:
- Medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance.
- 401(k) plan.
- Ability to purchase company stock at a discount.
- Eligible employees may enroll in deferred compensation plan or Executive Deferral Plan.
- Unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) for full-time salaried/exempt employees.
- Seven paid holidays.
- Caregiver leave.
- Certain roles may be eligible for additional rewards: merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, stock.
Pay: paragraph: base salary range $85,000.00 to $171,000.00. Within range, individual pay determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, relevant education/training.
We should not include EEO boilerplate etc. Also remove job posted date etc. Also remove "We value collaboration..." hybrid working policy maybe could be included in Benefits? It's about work arrangement; not exactly benefit. Could be included in About the role? Might be considered a benefit but not explicit benefit. Safer to omit.

Maybe we can omit if too thin. But we have some skill-specific items: strong technical and project background, etc. However those are in Qualifications. Could combine Skills with Requirements? But we need to follow instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could merge Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements and Qualifications" but heading must be exactly from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We cannot create custom heading. So we need to decide which sections to include. We have content for Requirements and Qualifications separately; both are substantive. Skills maybe we can derive some skill statements not covered elsewhere: e.g., "Strong technical and project background in large water impoundment and diversion design, monitoring, and rehabilitation" is more qualification. "Experience engaging stakeholders..." also qualification. "Professional Engineering license" qualification. "Strong, well rounded technical design skills across contributing disciplines" is skill. "Recognized by clients as a trusted partner with strong working knowledge of hydraulics and reservoir facility design and planning" is skill. "Proven ability to lead and coordinate multidisciplinary teams" skill. So we could put those in Skills section. Meanwhile Requirements could be the more baseline items: familiarity with regulations, experience performing structural steel design, demonstrated track record, proficient experience in dam/hydropower/fisheries engineering as project manager/discipline lead, Bachelor's degree. That seems reasonable.
Thus:
Requirements:
- Familiarity with applicable USACE, USBR, FERC, and industry guidance related to dams, hydropower facilities, hydraulic steel structures.
