The better option here is to create a "job" and have it process the rows as
opposed to processing rows and then creating a job

jobs = []
current_job = nil

jobs_file.each_line do |line|
  if line.end_with? ')'
    current_job = Job.new
    jobs << current_job
  end
  current_job.process_line(line)
end

class Job
  def initialize
    @data = {}
  end

  def process_line(line)
    if @data['header'].nil?
      process_header(line)
   elsif @data['blurb'].nil?
     @data['blurb'] = line
   elsif @data['tech'].nil?
     @data['tech']  = line
   else
     @data['extra'] = line
    end
  end

  def process_header(line)
    .....
  end
end
