We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should not include "How To Apply" etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to parse the description. Key content: - Why It's a Great Opportunity: description of role, leadership, etc. Could be "About the role" section. - Why It's a Great Department: description of department, maybe also part of About the role. - How to be Successful in the Role: could be part of Responsibilities or maybe "Skills"? But we need to map. - Your Future in this Role: professional development, career growth. Could be "Benefits"? Not exactly benefits but maybe "Benefits" section if they mention professional development. However we should only include Benefits if posting actually states them. It mentions professional development through robust online learning and other training opportunities, multiple career growth and promotional opportunities. That could be considered benefits. But we need to see if we should create a Benefits section. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine. - Core Daily Responsibilities: list bullet points. - Minimum Qualifications: list. - Supplemental Information: includes How To Apply etc which we remove. - Also there is "Our Welcoming Workplace Commitment" etc which is boilerplate? Might be considered EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate, should remove. - Also "Our Recruitment Practices" etc is boilerplate, remove. - Also "Upon offer, compensation is based on a range..." This mentions compensation but not specific numbers. It says compensation based on range of job-related factors... Not a specific pay range. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does not state specific pay or schedule. So we should not create Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections unless they have concrete info. The posting mentions professional development and career growth but not explicit benefits like health insurance etc. Might be considered benefits but it's vague. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does not state specific benefits, just mentions professional development and career growth. That's not a concrete benefit like health insurance, retirement, etc. Might be considered filler? It's not placeholder but it's still vague. Safer to not create Benefits section unless we have concrete benefits. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine professional development into "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? Probably better to include a "Benefits" section only if there are concrete benefits like health, retirement, etc. Since not present, we omit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Thus sections: About the role (maybe combine Why It's a Great Opportunity, Why It's a Great Department, How to be Successful, Your Future). Responsibilities (Core Daily Responsibilities). Requirements (Minimum Qualifications). Possibly Skills? Not explicitly listed; maybe we can infer from responsibilities but better not to create Skills if no explicit list. Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? The instruction lists both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We have Minimum Qualifications; we could put that under Requirements or Qualifications. Choose one. Since we have "Minimum Qualifications" heading, we can use either Requirements or Qualifications. Let's use "Qualifications". Or we could have both: Requirements (maybe experience) and Qualifications (education/license). But to avoid thin sections, we can combine into one section called "Qualifications". Use

Qualifications

and list the bullet points. Thus output:

We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. About the role content: From "Why It's a Great Opportunity:" paragraph: "In this role as the Assistant County Engineer, you will be a key member of the Planning and Public Works (PPW) leadership team and represent the County in regional and state-level planning efforts to improve and maintain the road system in the South Puget Sound. As a trusted partner of the County Engineer, you will lead professional engineers, construction management professionals, and traffic operations and maintenance crews to provide safe and reliable transportation options to Pierce County residents, employees, and visitors while supporting the operations and decisions of the County Engineer. The Office of the County Engineer coordinates a portfolio that includes large capital programs encompassing design, surveying, environmental permitting, right-of-way acquisition, and construction management, while expanding production capacity and the organization’s potential. This division is also responsible for the safe and efficient operation of County roads, setting County Road and Bridge Design Standards, maintaining Standards of Good Practice, and approving deviations from those standards. As a member of the Office of the County Engineer (OCE) division leadership team, you will be in a position to coordinate with other leaders across the County and shape the way the County meets the transportation needs of future generations." Then "Why It's a Great Department:" paragraph: "PPW stewards a healthy and vibrant community by collaboratively planning and investing in our people, infrastructure, systems, and policies. PPW’s team has more than 800 members that collaborate, innovate and inspire in performing essential services to the community. The department is responsible for the County road and levee systems, sewer systems, airports, ferries, building permits, environmental review, sustainability, community planning, and code enforcement - just to name a few! Learn more about Planning and Public Works here." Then "How to be Successful in the Role:" paragraph: "Your success will come by being a part of the leadership team, managing a division with a complex workload and many competing priorities, all while maintaining a focus on timeliness, accuracy, consistency, and safety. You may be tasked with the revision of county road standards, revision of plans, operation modifications to various systems, development of strategic long-term plans, and other duties vital to the Office of the County Engineer. You will also be part of ensuring close coordination between sections and across divisions within PPW to ensure compliance with regulatory drivers. Working effectively with executive management, elected officials, and subject matter experts at the city, county, state, and federal levels to address Pierce County's needs will also be a key ingredient to your success." Then "Your Future in this Role:" paragraph: "You will have access to professional development through robust online learning and other training opportunities throughout your career to ensure your success. This position has multiple career growth and promotional opportunities in Pierce County to build on a great career while directly impacting the communities in Pierce County." We can combine these into About the role. Now Responsibilities: "Core Daily Responsibilities" list: - Coordinate programs and projects assigned to the Office of the County Engineer division with other departments and divisions. - Serve as County Engineer in their absence, when directed. - Provide leadership, supervision, and direction to professional and technical staff. - Preparation and implementation of the six-year transportation improvement plan - Develop and monitor program performance goals and metrics and ensure alignment with the Department and County strategic initiatives. - Assist in preparing and oversight of the annual operating and capital budgets. - Make appropriate decisions in the assessment of unusual circumstances and exercise flexibility in selecting appropriate responses. - Participate in and support development, measurement, and execution of the vision, mission, and values of the county, department, division, and individual work groups. - A classification description with a more detailed list of essential functions can be found here. (This is a link; we can drop as it's a reference.) We should keep the bullet points, exclude the link sentence. Now Qualifications: "Minimum Qualifications": - An ABET accredited degree in civil or environmental engineering or a related field may substitute on a year for year basis. - Ten years of relevant experience in the management of civil or environmental engineering functions including four years of experience in a management role. - Licensed as a Professional Engineer in the State of Washington or the ability to obtain registration within six (6) months of employment. - A resume and cover letter are required for this position. - As a condition of employment, the applicant will need to authorize and complete a background check. Information received from the background check is reviewed case-by-case and will not necessarily remove an applicant from consideration. We should keep these bullet points. The "A resume and cover letter are required" is more application instruction; but it's a qualification? It's a requirement. The instruction says remove application instructions. However "A resume and cover letter are required for this position." is part of application instructions. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not exactly navigation/legal/EEO but it's about applying. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should omit that line. Also the background check line is also part of application process; but it's a condition of employment. Might be considered part of qualifications? It's a condition. The instruction says remove application instructions; background check is part of hiring process, not exactly application instruction but still part of process. Safer to omit? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So background check is part of application instructions? It's a condition of employment, but still part of hiring process. I'd remove it to be safe. Thus qualifications bullets: degree, experience, license. Now we need to ensure we don't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now output HTML fragment. We'll wrap each section in

and then

or

  • . For About the role, we have multiple paragraphs; we can combine into one

    with multiple sentences, or multiple

    tags. The rule: use

    for prose. Could use multiple

    elements. We'll output multiple

    under the heading. Thus:
