Senior Substation Designer
for each heading. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented summary. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove hashtags like #epjobs etc. Also remove "Your impact" maybe part of About the role? The posting starts with a paragraph about Jacobs mission then "Your impact". We need to extract "About the role" content: likely the paragraph describing role impact. We'll create About the role
then
with that content. Responsibilities: list of duties. Use
- . Requirements: maybe "Here's what you'll need" list. That's qualifications. Could treat as Requirements. Also "Ideally, You'll Also Have" could be Skills or Qualifications. We'll separate: Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (preferred) maybe. But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide based on content. The posting has "Here's what you'll need" (mandatory) and "Ideally, You'll Also Have" (preferred). Could map "Here's what you'll need" to Requirements, "Ideally" to Qualifications or Skills. Also there is a list of technical proficiencies etc. Might be Skills. We also have Benefits: described. Pay: base salary range given. Schedule: hybrid working policy mentioned. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can condense into lists but must not lose info. We must not invent or summarize away detail. However we can combine similar items into bullet points but must keep the substance. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That suggests we should not omit any detail. But we can still group similar items into bullets as long as we keep each distinct piece. It's okay to paraphrase? Probably not; we should keep the exact phrasing? It says do not summarize away detail, but we can rephrase as long as we keep the meaning. Safer to keep the original sentences but maybe break into bullets. We'll extract: About the role: The paragraph after "Your impact": "The power industry is evolving rapidly to support grid modernization, 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 the About the role. Responsibilities: The list after "Responsibilities Will Include Duties for this position include, but are not limited to" then each bullet. We'll capture each bullet as
- . Need to ensure we keep all.
Let's list them:
- Develop and maintain complete P&C point to point wiring design packages for utility and industrial substation projects.
- Prepare panel wiring diagrams, field interconnection wiring diagrams, control panel layouts, relay panel arrangements, communications and SCADA wiring drawings.
- Develop cable schedules and cable routing plans.
- Perform DC and AC distribution breaker and fuse sizing.
- Develop station one-line diagrams, general arrangement drawings, equipment layouts, and elevations.
- Develop grounding plans, lightning protection, conduit and raceway layouts, cable trench layouts, cable tray layouts, and control building layouts.
- Coordinate equipment locations and clearances.
- Verify existing site conditions and gather field data during site walkdowns
- Participate in constructability reviews during design development
- Coordinate design development with civil, structural, communications, and protection engineering disciplines and integrate into design packages
- Coordinate with engineers, project managers, clients, and contractors throughout project execution
- Review design standards, calculations, vendor drawings, and client requirements to ensure design consistency and compliance
- Review design deliverables for quality, accuracy, and adherence to project requirements
- Develop Bills of Materials for P&C and Physical packages.
- Manage drawing revisions and project documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
- Support construction activities and commissioning efforts as required
- Resolve field design issues and provide technical support during project execution.
- Support continuous improvement initiatives and QA/QC processes
- Support the implementation and use of digital design tools and technologies to enhance design quality and project execution
- Support proposals, estimating, and project planning activities
- Support geographically distributed and global design teams
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior designers and drafters.
Note there is a hashtag line "#epjobs #naepjobs #SMR" after responsibilities; we drop that.
Requirements: "Here's what you'll need" list:
- 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.
Qualifications: "Ideally, You'll Also Have" list:
- 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.
Skills: Could be overlapping; but we already have skills in requirements. Maybe we can treat the "Ideally" as Qualifications. The Skills heading could be omitted if no distinct content. But we have technical proficiencies etc. However they are already in requirements. To follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section, but we have headings list; we can still include both if they have content. But we need to avoid thin sections. Both have substantive content. So we can include Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (preferred). Skills maybe not needed.
Benefits: paragraph: "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."
We'll put that in
under Benefits. 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." Schedule: "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." Also there is a line about application experience etc but that's boilerplate/instructions; we should remove application instructions. The paragraph about "Your application experience is important to us..." and contact info is application instructions; we should drop. Also "Job posted on September 18, 2026. This position will be open for at least 3 days." That's metadata; we should drop as per instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. This is minor metadata; we can drop it. Now produce HTML fragment:

Make sure no extra whitespace? It's fine. Check we didn't miss any substantive info: The "Your impact" heading we used as About the role. Did we include the initial Jacobs mission statement? That is generic company description; maybe not needed for role. The posting starts with "At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow..." That's generic; could be considered boilerplate? It's not about the role specifically. Might be considered boilerplate but it's part of the description. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The Jacobs mission statement is not explicitly listed as boilerplate but could be considered generic marketing. However it's substantive info about the company; but the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does not say to remove generic company description. It's likely okay to keep it as part of About the role. But we already used About the role paragraph from "Your impact". Should we include the earlier Jacobs mission statement as part of About the role? It might be considered part of the role description. To be safe, we could include it in About the role as well, preceding the impact paragraph. Let's include both: first paragraph about Jacobs mission, then the impact paragraph. That preserves all. Thus About the rolewill contain two sentences? Actually we can combine into one
with both paragraphs separated by a space or
? Usecontaining both 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 power industry is evolving rapidly to support grid modernization, 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 includes all. Now Responsibilities list as above. Requirements list as above. Qualifications list as above. Benefits paragraph as above. Pay paragraph as above. Schedule paragraph as above. Check for any leftover substantive info: The line "Your application experience is important to us, and we’re keen to adapt to make
