That's the "About the role" content.
Then "Bridge Engineering Expertise & Project Experience" section: details about department experience. Could be part of About the role or separate? It's a section heading but not in list of allowed headings? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "Bridge Engineering Expertise & Project Experience" is not in that list. Should we treat it as part of About the role? Probably we can incorporate into About the role prose. The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples, but we should only emit headings when posting has real specific content for it. We could create a heading like "Bridge Engineering Expertise & Project Experience" if we want, but not in the list. Safer to stick to allowed headings. So we can embed that content under About the role.
Then "Responsibilities" heading with bullet list.
Then "Qualifications" heading with bullet list (or prose). The qualifications list includes bullet-like sentences.
Then "Additional Information" includes sponsorship, relocation assistance, encouragement to apply. That's not a standard heading; could be omitted or placed under About? Probably we can drop as it's not required headings. But we need to preserve all substantive information. The sponsorship line: "Sponsorship for U.S. employment authorization is not available for this position. Relocation assistance is available for this position." That's substantive. Could be placed under a heading like "Additional Information" but not allowed. Could we put it under About the role? Might be okay. Or we could create a
after Qualifications without a heading. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could add a section like "Additional Information" but not in allowed list; risk. Better to embed within About the role or Qualifications? It's not about qualifications. Maybe we can add a heading "Additional Information" even if not in list? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive. So we could use other headings if needed. But they said "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we can create a heading for Additional Information if we have content. It's not filler. So we can.
Then "The FPA Difference" paragraph: descriptive about firm. Could be part of About the role or separate section "About FPA". Could be under About the role.
Then "Benefits" heading with bullet list.
Then "Compensation" heading with paragraph.
We should not include Schedule as no info.
We should not include Requirements separate if we have Qualifications; but we could combine Requirements and Qualifications? The posting has Qualifications section. We'll use Qualifications.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
