What you're after here could be done using either VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH
provided there's unique values in a key* col which is common to both sheets,
eg: JobName in your case
*which could be used in matching

Suggest you take time to browse Debra's nice coverage on VLOOKUP or
INDEX/MATCH at her:

VLOOKUP

INDEX/MATCH

There's also some sample workbooks available for d/l & study
