Public Engagement & Outreach Lead

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes introductory paragraph about Jacobs and "Your impact". We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to decide which sections to include. We have content: - Intro: "At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow..." That's about company, maybe "About the role"? Actually "Your impact" describes role. Could treat as "About the role". We'll include that as prose. - Then description of role: "The Public Engagement & Outreach Lead executes the planning and delivery..." That's also role description. - Then "Core functions of the job may include" list of bullet points. That's responsibilities. - Then "Primary Responsibilities" list of bullet points. That's also responsibilities. - Then "Here's what you'll need" list of qualifications: Bachelor's degree..., Eight or more years..., Demonstrated success..., Strong facilitation..., Experience directing..., Ability to exercise..., Valid driver’s license... That's requirements/qualifications. - Then "Ideally, you'll also have" list: Experience with electric transmission..., Knowledge..., Experience engaging..., Experience with environmental justice..., Familiarity..., Ability to communicate..., Experience coordinating... That's "Skills" maybe. - Then benefits paragraph: "Our health and welfare benefits are designed..." includes medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, 401(k), ability to purchase company stock at a discount, deferred compensation plan, Executive Deferral Plan, unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) policy, seven paid holidays, caregiver leave, certain roles may be eligible for additional rewards including merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, stock. That's benefits. - Pay: "The base salary range for this position is $92,000.00 to $161,000.00. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training." That's pay. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's 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." That's schedule info (hybrid). Also mention travel up to 25% of time. That could be schedule. We'll include schedule section with hybrid work and travel. We must not include sections with placeholder text. All sections have content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must not include boilerplate like EEO statement, etc. Remove "All qualified applicants will receive consideration..." etc. Also remove "Job posted on August 24, 2026. This position will be open for at least 3 days." Also remove the later paragraph about Global Integrated Delivery etc? That seems like boilerplate about company culture; maybe we can keep as part of "About the role"? But it's somewhat generic. However it's not boilerplate legal; it's about collaboration and hybrid working policy. Could be part of schedule or about role. But we already have schedule. Might include as part of "About the role" or "Schedule". The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The later paragraph about Global Integrated Delivery is not legal; it's about company culture. Might keep as part of "About the role". However it's somewhat generic but still substantive. We'll keep. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Structure:

About the role

... (intro + role description + maybe culture)

Responsibilities

• ... combine core functions and primary responsibilities? Could split but better to combine into one list. Ensure we preserve all bullet points. We have two sets: Core functions (list) and Primary Responsibilities (list). We'll combine. List items: - Develop and implement public engagement and stakeholder outreach plans for electric transmission projects. - Coordinate open houses, workshops, public hearings, community meetings, site visits, and other outreach activities. - Build and maintain productive relationships with landowners, community groups, municipalities, regulators, elected officials, Tribal entities, and partner organizations. - Prepare stakeholder materials, including presentations, fact sheets, newsletters, meeting notices, FAQs, web content, comment forms, and other project communications. - Assist with venue selection, invitations, registrations, accessibility, logistics, staffing, materials, and documentation for engagement events. - Explain project purpose, routing, schedule, potential impacts, benefits, and mitigation approaches in clear, accessible language. - Collect, document, track, and summarize stakeholder questions, concerns, and feedback. - Maintain accurate outreach records, contact lists, issue logs, commitments, and engagement metrics. - Coordinate with project managers, engineering, environmental, permitting, real estate, regulatory, and construction teams. - Support compliance with applicable public participation, environmental review, and permitting requirements. - Identify emerging stakeholder issues and recommend timely, practical response strategies. - Promote culturally appropriate, equitable, and accessible engagement practices, including outreach to historically underserved communities. - Assist with preparing responses to comments and developing project communications that reflect agency and community input. - Provide strategic direction for engagement on complex, high-profile, or multi-jurisdictional transmission projects. - Serve as a senior point of contact for significant stakeholder relationships and sensitive community issues. - Develop comprehensive engagement strategies, escalation approaches, and long-term stakeholder management plans. - Direct outreach programs that involve multiple communities, agencies, contractors, and internal workstreams. - Lead major public meetings and facilitate discussions involving competing interests or elevated public concern. - Advise project leadership on stakeholder sentiment, reputational risk, permitting strategy, and community acceptance. - Review or direct the preparation of regulatory filings, reports, testimony support materials, and executive-level briefings. - Establish engagement standards, tools, metrics, and quality-control processes across projects. - Mentor outreach staff, supervise consultants or employees, and help shape departmental practices. - Act as a trusted representative of the organization in high-stakes discussions with public officials, community leaders, regulators, and other key stakeholders.

  Pay

  The base salary range for this position is $92,000.00 to $161,000.00. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

  We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO statement. We removed that. Check for duplicated lines: we combined. Check for any leftover like "Job posted on August 24, 2026." removed. Check for "At Jacobs, we’re partnering across the globe..." we kept maybe in About the role? We didn't include that yet. We need to decide whether to include that paragraph. It's about Global Integrated Delivery etc. It's not boilerplate legal; it's about company culture and collaboration. Could be part of About the role. Let's include it in About the role paragraph. Thus About the role paragraph will contain: - Intro about Jacobs challenging today... - Your impact description (The Public Engagement & Outreach Lead executes...) - Possibly the Global Integrated Delivery paragraph. We'll combine into a few sentences. Let's craft:

  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. The Public Engagement & Outreach Lead executes the planning and delivery of meaningful, inclusive, and transparent engagement for electric transmission projects. This role builds relationships with communities, landowners, public officials, agencies, Tribal representatives, environmental justice communities, and other stakeholders throughout project planning, permitting, construction, and closeout. 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. At Jacobs, we’re partnering across the globe to create the best project outcomes by maximizing the design, digital technology, and support capabilities of our Global Integrated Delivery (GID) teammates. By joining Jacobs, you’ll commit to supporting and engaging with these teams, as we work to build a company like no other. We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. 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.

  But note hybrid working policy also appears in Schedule; we might duplicate. Could keep schedule separate. We'll keep schedule separate and not repeat hybrid in About the role. However the paragraph about hybrid is part of the later paragraph; we could keep it there but then schedule would duplicate. Better to keep schedule separate and remove hybrid from About the role. So we will not include hybrid sentence in About the role. We'll keep the rest. Thus About the role paragraph:

  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.
