Narrative:
This incident happened during my initial captain IOE. I was in the left seat controling the aircraft. During parking, I saw a marshaller (with lit wands) and a spotter by chocks at the lead-in line/stop line. Taxi was very slow. We stopped at the same time as the stop signal. The ground crew signaled us to start the APU, then pushed us back a few feet. After shutdown and checklists complete, the ground crew informed us that we were marshalled too far forward, which caused the #1 engine to make contact with the jetway resulting in damage to both. Amount of damage unknown. No injuries. WX not a factor.
