Senior Substation Designer
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
Content:
- Intro 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. Your impact The power industry is evolving rapidly to support grid modesrnization, renewable energy integration, electrification, and the growing demand from industrial facilities and data centers. As a Senior Substation Designer, you will play a key role in delivering Protection & Control (P&C) and Physical Design packages for electrical utility, industrial, and data center substation projects. Working closely with engineers, project managers, clients, and contractors, you will support the development of detailed design packages, coordinate multidisciplinary project activities, and contribute to the successful execution of projects from conceptual engineering through construction support and commissioning. You will also provide technical guidance to junior designers while helping maintain design quality, consistency, and compliance with client and industry standards."
That's a description of role. Could be "About the role" or maybe "Overview". We'll use "About the role".
- Responsibilities: a long list starting with "Responsibilities Will Include Duties for this position include, but are not limited to" then bullet-like sentences. We'll extract each duty as
- .
- Requirements: "Here's what you'll need Associate Degree in Engineering Technology, or related discipline. Minimum 12 years of substation design experience. Demonstrated experience in both P&C and Physical Design for AIS and GIS Substations. Experience supporting substation projects from 12 kV through 500 kV. Understanding of project execution from conceptual engineering through construction support and commissioning. Proficiency with AutoCAD, MicroStation, or comparable design software. Strong understanding of substation equipment, grounding, lightning protection, raceway design, SCADA systems, relays and relay panels, breaker and fuse applications. Strong understanding of equipment clearances. Strong knowledge of NEC, NESC, IEEE standards and utility requirements. Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining quality and schedule commitments."
That's requirements.
- Ideally, You'll Also Have: "Ideally, You'll Also Have Experience supporting utility, EPC, industrial, and data center projects. Proficiency with Bentley Substation, Revit, AutoCAD Electrical, Bluebeam, and 3D design platforms. Introduction to IEC 61850 and digital substation concepts."
That could be "Preferred Qualifications" or "Skills". We can treat as "Qualifications" maybe separate "Preferred Qualifications". But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine with Requirements? But they are separate: "Ideally, You'll Also Have". Could be "Preferred Qualifications". We'll include a section "Qualifications" for required, and maybe "Preferred Qualifications" for ideal. However instructions: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine required and preferred into one "Requirements" section with sub-bullets? But they'd be separate bullet lists. Could have two sections: "Requirements" and "Preferred Qualifications". Both are substantive.
- 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."
That's benefits. So include Benefits section.
- Pay: "The base salary range for this position is $110,600.00 to $145,200.00. 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. Include Pay section.
- Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's hybrid working policy: "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." That's schedule/hybrid. Could be Schedule section. It's specific content: hybrid working policy. So include Schedule.
- Also there is EEO statement and application instructions etc which we must remove.
- Also there is "Job posted on September 18, 2026. This position will be open for at least 3 days." That's metadata; we can fold into a short
maybe under a generic "About the role" or drop. Probably drop as minor metadata.
- Also "#epjobs #naepjobs #SMR" hashtags - drop.
- Also "Support construction activities and commissioning efforts as required" etc already in responsibilities.
Now we need to format.
We'll produce:
