Change Widget Area for a Custom Post Type

(I’m a total custom post type newbie, apologies for ignorance.)

I want to change/customize the sidebar of a custom post type, specifically the “Job listing” post type that’s generated by WP Jobs Manager.
Right now my jobs get the sidebar settings spec’d for “Sidebar on Single Post Entries” – both alignment left/right and widget area.
When I edit a specific “Job” I don’t get the familiar Enfold fields that usually let me change which sidebar a given page gets.
Per the plugin’s template override instructions I created content-single-job_listing.php within the Enfold Child theme directory, and I’m able to tweak the layout of the page elements itself, but don’t see any way to set/change which sidebar it calls.

In a perfect world, I’d create a Custom Widget Area with the Widgets editor and assign that as the sidebar of choice for all jobs. Alternatively, I’d be happy to set that from the page editor.
