Smart Water & AMI Consultant - Remote/Hybrid
under maybe About the role or Benefits? However we have no specific section for that. Could create a section "Additional Information" but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; we could also use other headings if needed but better to stick to those. The additional info could be placed under Benefits or About the role as a paragraph.
We also have "About AECOM" description of company; that could be part of About the role? Actually "About AECOM" is company description. Could be part of About the role? Might be better to include as a short paragraph under About the role or separate? There's no "Company" heading in list. Could fold into About the role.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include company description, benefits, pay, schedule, responsibilities, requirements (min), qualifications (preferred), maybe skills.
Let's extract content:
Company Description paragraph: "Work with Us. Change the World. At AECOM, we're delivering a better world...." That's a lot. We'll keep it.
Job Description paragraph: "AECOM seeking a skilled and experienced Smart Water & AMI Consultant to join our growing water utility practice...." We'll keep.
Responsibilities: list bullet points after "Responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:" each line starts with a bold? We'll convert to - .
We need to capture each bullet:
- Program Advisory & Owner's Engineer
- Lead owner's engineer engagements supporting utility clients through AMI vendor selection, pilot design, full deployment, and program close-out
- Advise utilities on AMI system architecture decisions including Point to MultiPoint, RF mesh, cellular, LoRa Wan and hybrid communication technologies
- Develop and manage AMI KPI frameworks to track performance against technical, operational, and financial benchmarks
- Facilitate and lead steering committee meetings, technical workshops, and stakeholder sessions
- Procurement & Vendor Evaluation
- Draft and review RFPs, technical specifications, evaluation criteria, and contract language for AMI hardware, software, and services
- Conduct structured vendor evaluations using quantitative scoring methodologies across technology, commercial, and operational dimensions
- Perform cost-benefit analyses, total cost of ownership modeling, and rate impact assessments
- Support contract negotiations between utility clients and AMI vendors
- Technical Analysis & Strategy

- Develop business cases for AMI investment aligned to utility drivers including water conservation, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance

- Support proposal development including technical approach, scope of work, and fee estimation for AMI pursuits
- Contribute to white papers, conference presentations, and industry working groups (e.g., AWWA, WaterNow)
- Build and sustain relationships with utility clients, technology vendors, and industry peers
We'll keep these as list items; maybe we can keep the subheadings as part of list items? Could keep them as plain text within
- . That's fine.

Also there is "Additional Information" about sponsorship, relocation assistance, Day 1 onboarding. We'll incorporate maybe as a paragraph under Benefits or About the role.
Benefits: from "About AECOM" paragraph: "AECOM is proud to offer comprehensive benefits to meet the diverse needs of our employees. Depending on your employment status, AECOM benefits may include medical, dental, vision, life, AD&D, disability benefits, paid time off, leaves of absences, voluntary benefits, perks, flexible work options, well-being resources, employee assistance program, business travel insurance, service recognition awards, retirement savings plan, and employee stock purchase plan."
Also earlier: "About AECOM AECOM is proud to offer comprehensive benefits..." duplicates. We'll keep one.
Pay: "Offered rate of compensation will be based on individual education, qualifications, experience, and work location. The range for this position is $140000 to $182000." Also later "Compensation: USD 140000 - USD 182000 - yearly". We'll combine.
Schedule: "This will be a hybrid position including a combination of both remote, in-office and travel, that can be based out of any AECOM office within the US." Also "Work Location Model: Hybrid". Also travel 25%-50% already in requirements. We'll include schedule/hybrid.
Now produce HTML fragment with sections:
About the role
Company description paragraph + Job description paragraph maybe combined.
But we need to avoid duplication. We'll include company description and job description as separate paragraphs maybe.
