We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove generic filler like "commensurate with experience". Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - Intro paragraph about Jacobs mission: "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." This is generic but maybe part of "About the role"? Could be considered company overview. Might be considered "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can create sections as appropriate. We need to decide what content goes where. The posting includes: - "Your impact This job opportunity is available at ANY location in the United States. Ideally, selected candidates will be near a JACOBS U.S. based office, but we intend to hire the "best" candidates. At Jacobs, we never settle — we push boundaries, elevate standards, and deliver with purpose." - Then description of role: "As a senior subject matter expert within our Data Center team, you’ll lead structural engineering efforts across a portfolio of data center projects, including new builds and retrofits. As part of the vision of the Department Manager, you’ll drive the technical direction, and ensure structural solutions meet the highest standards of performance, and constructability. This role is heavily client‑ and contractor‑facing, blending technical authority with the ability to communicate and collaborate across diverse teams. The ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of deep mission‑critical engineering expertise and relationship‑driven leadership—confidently navigating design, construction, and stakeholder challenges while delivering solutions that inspire trust and keep our clients at the center. You’ll serve as a key technical leader, guiding a portfolio of projects and coordinating closely with the structural engineering teams. You will mentor structural leads and support the projects by meeting with clients and upper management as required and be able to speak directly to the status of various projects. Your expertise will shape project execution, influence design strategy, and strengthen our delivery excellence. This role offers significant opportunity to expand your technical authority, mentor emerging talent, and grow your leadership presence as you help define the next generation of high-performance data center infrastructure. Your guidance will not only help shape the design delivery of the team but will guide the delivery of our Design-Build delivery methodology." - Then "Other key contributions include Provide quality reviews of complex projects.Leading complex structural analyses and guiding the selection of appropriate methodologies to ensure robust, code compliant, and constructible design solutions.Developing and validating advanced structural computer models, establishing modeling standards, and mentoring team members in best practice simulation techniques.Overseeing critical calculations for member design and foundations, directing material take offs and estimating inputs, and providing technical governance for schedules, design documentation, and interdisciplinary coordination." - Then "At Jacobs, we’re partnering across the globe to create the best project outcomes by maximizing the design, digital technology, and support capabilities of our Global Integrated Delivery (GID) teammates. By joining Jacobs, you’ll commit to supporting and engaging with these teams, as we work to build a company like no other." - Then "Here's what you'll need Ability to quickly identify complex challenges, solve problems, communicate solutions and direct junior and senior staff on best practicesUnderstand the complexities of large contracts and different contract structures and be able to manage change orders, and be able to stand up for the engineering team against the liabilities of contractors Experience with almost every building material and type, and have the ability to speak to the executive level about any subject without advance noticeBachelor of Science in Civil or Structural Engineering15+ or more years of professional experience in structural engineeringRegistered Professional Engineer with the ability to become registered in additional statesKnowledge of CAD software, such as AutoCad, Revit, MicroStation and S3DProficiency with structural analysis software such as RISA, RamSS or STAADKnowledge and application of ACI, AISC, ASCE 7, AIST Technical Report 13, and other industry relevant design code and standardsKnowledge and application of Building Codes Proficiency with MS Office suite software including MS Teams for remote coordinationAbility for travel to various client’s sites (approx. 10% to 40% travel)Proficiency reviewing and commenting on drawings in Bluebeam Ideally, you’ll also have Master of Science in EngineeringRegistered SE License Experience with hyperscale facility design with key global clientsAbility to lead teams to deliver commitments on schedule and on budget while meeting quality and client expectations" - Then 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." - Then Pay: "The base salary range for this position is $169,500.00 to $233,000.00. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training." - Then schedule/hybrid: "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 location: "This job opportunity is available at ANY location in the United States. Ideally, selected candidates will be near a JACOBS U.S. based office, but we intend to hire the "best" candidates." - Also maybe "Job posted on April 24, 2026. This position will be open for at least 3 days." This is metadata; we can drop or put in short p. - Also EEO statement: "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." This is boilerplate; remove. - Also "If you require further support or reasonable adjustments with regards to the recruitment process (for example, you require the application form in a different format), please contact the team via Careers Support." Remove. We need to avoid duplication. Now we need to map to sections. Possible sections: - About the role: could include mission statement and role overview. Could combine the initial Jacobs mission and the "Your impact" paragraph plus role description. - Responsibilities: list of duties: lead structural engineering efforts, drive technical direction, ensure solutions meet standards, client/contractor facing, mentor structural leads, meet with clients/upper management, speak to project status, shape project execution, influence design strategy, strengthen delivery excellence, expand technical authority, mentor emerging talent, grow leadership presence, help define next-gen data center infrastructure, guide design delivery, guide delivery of Design-Build methodology, provide quality reviews of complex projects, lead complex structural analyses, guide selection of methodologies, develop/validate advanced structural computer models, establish modeling standards, mentor team members in best practice simulation techniques, oversee critical calculations for member design and foundations, direct material take offs and estimating inputs, provide technical governance for schedules, design documentation, interdisciplinary coordination, support GID teammates, commit to supporting and engaging with these teams. We can put these as
  • . - Requirements: maybe the mandatory qualifications: Bachelor of Science in Civil or Structural Engineering, 15+ years experience, Registered Professional Engineer, ability to become registered in additional states, knowledge of CAD software (list), proficiency with structural analysis software (list), knowledge/application of codes (list), knowledge of building codes, proficiency with MS Office suite including MS Teams, ability to travel 10%-40%, proficiency reviewing drawings in Bluebeam. - Qualifications: maybe "Ideally, you'll also have": Master of Science in Engineering, Registered SE License, Experience with hyperscale facility design with key global clients, Ability to lead teams to deliver commitments on schedule and on budget while meeting quality and client expectations. But the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section, but they differentiate. However we can still have both if content is substantive. - Skills: maybe the abilities like ability to quickly identify complex challenges, solve problems, communicate solutions, direct junior/senior staff, understand complexities of large contracts, manage change orders, stand up for engineering team against liabilities, ability to speak to executive level about any subject without advance notice, experience with almost every building material/type. But these could be considered skills. - Benefits: as described. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: hybrid working policy. We also have location info: "This job opportunity is available at ANY location in the United States. Ideally, selected candidates will be near a JACOBS U.S. based office, but we intend to hire the "best" candidates." Could be part of About the role or a separate short p. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft. We'll start with

    About the role

    then a

    containing mission overview and role description. Then

    Responsibilities

    with
    • items. Then

      Requirements

      with
      • for mandatory qualifications. Then

        Preferred Qualifications

        maybe but instruction only gave list of headings; but we can use "Qualifications" as heading for preferred. Or we could combine into Requirements. But we have both mandatory and preferred; we could have Requirements for mandatory and Qualifications for preferred. That seems okay. Then

        Skills

        for abilities like problem solving, communication, contract understanding, building material expertise, speaking to exec. Then

        Benefits

        with
        • . Then

          Pay

          with

          . Then

          Schedule

          with

          . We also might include location as a short p under About the role or separate. Let's extract precise wording. Mission: "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." Impact: "Your impact This job opportunity is available at ANY location in the United States. Ideally, selected candidates will be near a JACOBS U.S. based office, but we intend to hire the "best" candidates. At Jacobs, we never settle — we push boundaries, elevate standards, and deliver with purpose." We can combine: maybe first sentence about Jacobs mission, then location statement, then "At Jacobs, we never settle..." as part of About the role. Then role description: "As a senior subject matter expert within our Data Center team, you’ll lead structural engineering efforts across a portfolio of data center projects, including new builds and retrofits. As part of the vision of the Department Manager, you’ll drive the technical direction, and ensure structural solutions meet the highest standards of performance, and constructability.
