We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. The posting includes many sections: About the role? Not explicit headings but we can infer sections: "Job Description", "How You Will Contribute", "What Will Make You Successful", "Minimum Qualifications", "Additional Considerations". Also maybe "Physical Requirements" but that's boilerplate and repeated; we should remove boilerplate. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Physical Requirements appears duplicated and seems boilerplate; we should drop it. Also "Click below to learn more about the Competency Model..." is likely a link; we should drop as it's not substantive? It's a reference but maybe we can keep as a sentence? It's not a list; but it's a reference to external link; might be considered boilerplate? Probably drop. We need to use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map sections accordingly. We have: - Job Description: could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". The description includes design and detail structures, checking, compute dimensions, provide construction support, review plans, provide technical advice, prepare analyses, reports, provide engineering support, manage projects, communicate with staff etc. That's responsibilities. - How You Will Contribute: could be broken into sub-sections: Analysis and Technical Reporting, Communication, Design, Analyze and Check Structural Elements, Engineering Process Management, Manage Assigned Activities, Project Engineering, Special Assignments, Teamwork and Customer Service, Technical Guidance and Support. That's a lot; but we can combine into responsibilities. - What Will Make You Successful: list of abilities; could be "Skills" or "Qualifications". Probably "Skills". - Minimum Qualifications: list of abilities/experience; could be "Qualifications" or "Requirements". We'll use "Requirements". - Additional Considerations: list of desired qualifications; could be "Qualifications" as well but we might combine with Minimum Qualifications? But instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: Responsibilities, Skills, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Preferred Qualifications (additional considerations). However we need to use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which fit. We have no info on Benefits, Pay, Schedule, so we omit those. We need to use

for each section heading. We need
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to remove boilerplate: duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The repeated "Physical Requirements" lines are boilerplate; drop. We also need to drop "Click below to learn more about the Competency model..." maybe it's not boilerplate but it's a reference; but it's not a list; we could keep as a

    but it's just a link instruction; maybe drop as it's not substantive content about the job. Safer to drop. Now we need to extract the substantive content. Let's parse the job description text: "Job Description Design and detail structures and bridges for new construction, maintenance and rehabilitation projects. Check statically determinate and indeterminate structures of concrete and steel to meet alignment, dimension, strength and economic requirements using AASHTO specifications to prepare plans. Compute dimensions and quantities of materials. Provide construction support and direction regarding construction and maintenance of structures and bridges. Review plans prepared by others to ensure correctness. Provide technical advice, guidance and training regarding assigned engineering program areas. Prepare analyses, reports, and recommendations based on engineering determinations. Provide engineering support and consultation related to engineering program area. Effectively manage assigned projects to ensure timely and accurate completion. Communicate with internal VDOT staff, local government staff, consultants, citizens and FHWA regarding transportation projects and programs." That's a paragraph of responsibilities. Then "How You Will Contribute" with subheadings and bullet-like sentences. We need to preserve all detail; we could turn each bullet into

  • under a
      . The subheadings could be omitted? But we need to preserve the content; we could keep the subheading as part of the
    • text or as a inside
    • . Since we cannot add extra headings beyond those allowed? We can still include inside
    • . The instruction only says use

      for section headings,
      • for any list,

        for prose. It doesn't forbid other tags like . So we can embed. Thus for "How You Will Contribute", we can create a

          with each bullet as
        • . The bullet text includes the heading (e.g., "Analysis and Technical Reporting: Analyze and interpret engineering data and information. Prepare complete, clear and concise reports and recommendations.") We'll keep that as one
        • . Similarly for each. Then "What Will Make You Successful": list of abilities; we can make a
            . Then "Minimum Qualifications": list of abilities/experience; we can make a
              . Then "Additional Considerations": list; we can make a
                . We need to decide sections: maybe "Responsibilities" for Job Description + How You Will Contribute combined? But we could separate: "Responsibilities" for Job Description, and "How You Will Contribute" maybe as part of responsibilities; but we can combine to avoid many sections. However we need to preserve all detail; we can still have a single responsibilities section with a
                  that includes all duties from both sections. That would be okay. But we need to ensure we don't lose the nuance of "How You Will Contribute" headings; we can incorporate them as part of the
                • text. Thus: Section:
