We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of role, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule. We need to include sections only if real content.
Let's parse:
- Intro about Jacobs: mission statement. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Jacobs"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (maybe summarizing the role description), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent.
Let's extract:
Role description: "As a vital member of our Hawaii and Northwest team, you’ll serve as the civil engineering lead for a major Honolulu rail transit program. You’ll support the Jacobs program management team by working with and leading multidisciplinary teams and partner with clients to deliver planning, design, and construction support services across rail corridor and station-area improvement packages. In this role, you’ll guide civil scope from concept through close-out by supporting PS&E development and construction phase services while balancing scope, schedule, budget, quality, and risk. You’ll coordinate complex interfaces across structures/guideway, utilities, roadway/traffic, and third-party stakeholders to keep packages moving and resolve issues efficiently. Join us and we’ll assist in continuing the development of your skills and exploring all that you can do across our global company."
That's responsibilities.
Also "Your impact Thriving communities..." maybe about role.
But we can put that as "About the role" maybe.
Responsibilities: bullet list of duties.
Requirements: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (or related); Hawaii Professional Engineer (P.E.) (or ability to obtain within 6 months); 10+ years of relevant civil/transportation engineering experience, including experience serving as a civil task lead or civil discipline lead on complex infrastructure projects.
Qualifications: maybe same as requirements? But we can separate: Requirements (hard) and Qualifications (preferred). The posting includes "Ideally, You’ll Also Have Experience delivering transit and/or rail projects..." etc. Those are preferred qualifications.
Skills: "Demonstrated ability to lead civil scope “soup-to-nuts” (planning/scoping through PS&E and construction support), including grading, drainage/stormwater, utilities, roadway tie-ins, and site/civil improvements and technical specifications development; Client-facing leadership, serving as a civil point of contact, facilitating technical coordination meetings, and communicating design decisions and risks clearly; Working knowledge of applicable local design standards (e.g. HDOT, DTS, CCH) and agency/client criteria; ability to produce compliant plans, specifications, and cost estimates; Working knowledge of applicable federal guidance and funding/program requirements as applicable to transit/rail (e.g., FHWA, FTA, FRA); Proficiency with civil design software and production tools such as Bentley MicroStation/OpenRoads and/or Autodesk Civil 3D/AutoCAD; Ability to work collaboratively across disciplines and manage multiple concurrent priorities with minimal supervision; Honolulu-based availability with daily in-office presence at the client office in Downtown Honolulu due to program and client needs."
Also "Strong proposal and technical writing skills."
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 $110,600.00 to $172,850.00. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training."
Schedule: Not explicitly given. There's mention: "Onsite employees are expected to attend a Jacobs Workplace on a full-time basis, as required by the nature of their role." Also "Honolulu-based availability with daily in-office presence at the client office in Downtown Honolulu due to program and client needs." That implies full-time onsite. So schedule: full-time, onsite. We can include schedule section if there is real content. It says "Onsite employees are expected to attend a Jacobs Workplace on a full-time basis". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, cookie, navigation, application instructions, etc. Remove those lines: "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or protected veteran status." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "Job posted on July 24, 2026. This position will be open for at least 3 days." That's metadata; we can fold into short p or drop. Probably drop. Also "Your application experience is important to us..." that's application instructions; remove. Also "If you require further support..." remove.
