We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraph about Jacobs and impact. Could treat that as "About the role" or maybe "About the role" is not explicitly present but we can create heading for summary. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections have content. We have: - Intro about Jacobs and impact: could be "About the role" or maybe "About Jacobs". But we can put under "About the role". It's substantive. - Responsibilities: there is a big list under "Responsibilities Will Include Duties for this position include, but are not limited to" then bullet list. So we need Responsibilities section with
  • . - Requirements/Qualifications: The posting has "Here's what you'll need" then list of requirements: Associate Degree, 12 years experience, etc. Also "Ideally, You'll Also Have" list. Those could be under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". We need to decide. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine requirements and qualifications into one section maybe "Requirements". Or we could split: Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). But we should avoid thin sections. Probably better to have one "Requirements" section containing both required and preferred. Or we could have "Requirements" for required, and "Qualifications" for preferred. But we need to ensure each heading has real content. Both have content. We also have benefits: "Our health and welfare benefits are designed to invest in you..." 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, merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, stock. So we have Benefits section. Pay: "The base salary range for this position is $110,600.00 to $145,200.00." So we have 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". That's about schedule/location. Could be considered Schedule? Might be considered "Schedule" or maybe not. The instruction: include Schedule only if posting actually states them. It does mention hybrid working policy, which is about work arrangement. Could be considered Schedule. But we need to decide if we want to include Schedule section. The hybrid policy is about work location, not necessarily schedule (hours). Might be considered "Schedule" but ambiguous. Safer to omit Schedule if not explicit about hours. The instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state hybrid working policy, which is about schedule/location. I'd include a Schedule section with that content. We also need to include maybe "Skills" section? Could extract skills from requirements: proficiency with AutoCAD, MicroStation, etc. But we already have those in Requirements. Could create Skills section but might be thin. Better to keep under Requirements. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, hashtags like #epjobs #naepjobs #SMR. Also remove "Job posted on September 18, 2026. This position will be open for at least 3 days." That's metadata; we can drop or fold into short p. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we could include a short p for posting date maybe. But better to drop it as minor metadata. We'll drop. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we must keep all responsibilities, requirements, benefits, pay, hybrid policy. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Structure:

    Maybe also separate "Preferred Qualifications" but we can combine. But we need to preserve all details: 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. 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. We could split into Required and Preferred but maybe just list all as bullet points.

    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 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.

    We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO statement, etc. Also remove "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 remove "Your application experience is important to us..." etc. Remove. Also remove "If you require further support or reasonable adjustments..." etc. Also remove hashtags. Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive info from responsibilities list. Let's extract each duty line. Responsibilities list (after "Develop and maintain complete P&C point to point wiring design packages for utility and industrial substation projects." then each sentence ends with a period. We'll convert each to

Preferred (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. We could combine them all under Requirements, but maybe better to separate into Required and Preferred. However headings limited to Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could use "Requirements" for required, and "Qualifications" for preferred. That seems appropriate. Thus:
