We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes sections: "About You", "Who are we?", "A DAY IN THE LIFE", "Necessary Qualifications", "What We Can Offer You", then some values, then "MAKE YOUR MOVE", then legal disclaimer etc. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. The headings we can use are those from the list; we need to map content to appropriate headings. We have: - About You: could map to "About the role"? Actually "About You" is more about candidate profile; but we can treat as "About the role"? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings when appropriate. We need to decide which sections we have content for. We have content about responsibilities: "A DAY IN THE LIFE" includes bullet-like sentences describing duties. That maps to Responsibilities. We have qualifications: "Necessary Qualifications" maps to Qualifications (or Requirements). Could also be Requirements. We have benefits: "What We Can Offer You" includes benefits list. That maps to Benefits. We have maybe Skills: could extract from qualifications but we might not need separate Skills if covered. We have Pay: not mentioned explicitly (no salary). So we should not include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned. About the role: we have introductory paragraphs about the role and company. Could map to About the role. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we should list each duty as
  • . For Qualifications list each qualification as
  • . For Benefits list each benefit as
  • . For About the role we can use

    prose. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. So we need to extract the substantive content from the posting, ignoring navigation, legal disclaimer, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Let's parse the posting: First part: "About You Are you a service-minded transactional attorney? Do you have solid technical expertise in construction contract drafting and negotiating? Do you want to better understand the business considerations that inform risk management decisions? Are you looking to be a part of a dynamic in-house legal team that serves a dynamic and growing business? If the answer is, “Yes!” then we have an exciting, long-term opportunity for you. Who are we? We are ARCO, a Family of Construction Companies. We are looking for a service-oriented Attorney to join our team." That's about the role/company. Then "A DAY IN THE LIFE Review, draft, negotiate, and manage construction and commercial agreementsCollaborate closely with other members of the legal team located across the United States to implement enterprise-wide, accepted approaches to managing contract risks Collaborate closely with project managers and leaders to understand business objectives when negotiating agreements Manage, maintain, and coordinate all documentation related to construction contracts and day-to-day issues arising from construction project operations Prepare and present training to non-legal business operators on legal and legal-adjacent issues in the construction industryAssess and mitigate ARCO’s risk Maintain and grow relationships with vendors and title companies Assist Operations and Leadership in problem-solving and managing risk Manage communications and deliverables in a deadline-driven environment Work well with, and can efficiently direct work of, shared paralegal support." We need to split into separate duties. The text is concatenated without punctuation; we need to infer separate items. Likely each phrase separated by capital letter after a period? Actually there are no periods. We need to split based on verbs: "Review, draft, negotiate, and manage construction and commercial agreements" then "Collaborate closely with other members of the legal team located across the United States to implement enterprise-wide, accepted approaches to managing contract risks" then "Collaborate closely with project managers and leaders to understand business objectives when negotiating agreements" then "Manage, maintain, and coordinate all documentation related to construction contracts and day-to-day issues arising from construction project operations" then "Prepare and present training to non-legal business operators on legal and legal-adjacent issues in the construction industry" then "Assess and mitigate ARCO’s risk" then "Maintain and grow relationships with vendors and title companies" then "Assist Operations and Leadership in problem-solving and managing risk" then "Manage communications and deliverables in a deadline-driven environment" then "Work well with, and can efficiently direct work of, shared paralegal support." We'll create

  • for each. Next "Necessary Qualifications Licensed Attorney with 5+ years of transactional construction practice with a law firm or in-house with a general contractorCurrent experience managing a substantial volume of contract review, drafting, and negotiation responsibilities, with a strong preference for attorneys who remain actively engaged in day-to-day transactional work Experience leading negotiations of construction contracts with sophisticated counterparties and ability to understand the Owner, Subcontractor and/or Contractor's points of viewStrong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential for the candidate to identify legal issues and risks, analyze complex problems, and provide practical and effective solutionsDemonstrated ability to build relationships and influence stakeholdersFlexible, with excellent and timely written and verbal communication skills Able to lead and follow with equal ease, based on circumstances Desire to work as part of legal team that is highly collaborativeActive listener, proactive leadership approach, collaborative and communicativeHighly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously, while working under tight deadlines Candidates do not need to meet every qualification to be considered. If you possess relevant experience and skills and are interested in this opportunity, we encourage you to apply." We need to split into qualifications items. Likely each sentence separated by capital letter after a period? There are no periods either. We'll need to parse manually. Let's insert periods where appropriate: - Licensed Attorney with 5+ years of transactional construction practice with a law firm or in-house with a general contractor - Current experience managing a substantial volume of contract review, drafting, and negotiation responsibilities, with a strong preference for attorneys who remain actively engaged in day-to-day transactional work - Experience leading negotiations of construction contracts with sophisticated counterparties and ability to understand the Owner, Subcontractor and/or Contractor's points of view - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential for the candidate to identify legal issues and risks, analyze complex problems, and provide practical and effective solutions - Demonstrated ability to build relationships and influence stakeholders - Flexible, with excellent and timely written and verbal communication skills - Able to lead and follow with equal ease, based on circumstances - Desire to work as part of legal team that is highly collaborative - Active listener, proactive leadership approach, collaborative and communicative - Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously, while working under tight deadlines - Candidates do not need to meet every qualification to be considered. If you possess relevant experience and skills and are interested in this opportunity, we encourage you to apply. The last sentence is more encouragement; we could include as part of qualifications? It's not a qualification but we could keep as prose maybe. But we should preserve substantive information; we can include it as a

    after the list. Next "What We Can Offer You We are dedicated to the well-being of our associates and are proud to be consistently recognized as a Best Place to Work. Our compensation and benefits package not only supports our associates and their families but benefits local communities and communities around the world. Industry-leading performance-based bonus programEmployee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)Traditional and Roth 401kTuition reimbursement for associatesScholarship for associates’ children up to $28,000 per child1-month paid sabbatical after every five years of employment, plus $5,000 for travel1-week paid volunteer leave each year100% charitable matchMedical, dental, and vision insurance coverage100% paid 12-week maternity leave" We need to split benefits into list items. Likely each benefit separated by capital letter after a period? There are no periods. We'll parse: - Industry-leading performance-based bonus program - Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) - Traditional and Roth 401k - Tuition reimbursement for associates - Scholarship for associates’ children up to $28,000 per child - 1-month paid sabbatical after every five years of employment, plus $5,000 for travel - 1-week paid volunteer leave each year - 100% charitable match - Medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage - 100% paid 12-week maternity leave Also preceding sentences: "We are dedicated to the well-being of our associates and are proud to be consistently recognized as a Best Place to Work. Our compensation and benefits package not only supports our associates and their families but benefits local communities and communities around the world." That's prose; we can include as

    before the list. After that there is more text: "At ARCO, our first core value is to treat people fairly and do the right thing. We are proud to be a drug-free workplace and an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment. From recruiting, training, and hiring practices to selecting our subcontractors, we understand that the diversity of all those involved in the construction process enhances our ability to deliver the best solutions to our customers. We hire the best and the brightest from across the country – constructing a team of experts in architecture, design, engineering, project management, and business services. MAKE YOUR MOVE We are proud to be one of the fastest-growing, privately-owned companies in America, celebrating over 30 years of experience as design-build experts. We have completed over 7,500 design-build projects nationwide. We ranked #9 on ENR’s Design-Build Firms list and #34 on ENR's Top 400 Contractors list of 2026. Most importantly, our clients like us, trust us, and want to do business with us. We are looking for people with the same enthusiasm, passion, and respect for the hard work that brought us to where we are today. Are you a person who can make a difference at ARCO? If the answer is “Yes!” we look forward to meeting you. ARCO does not accept unsolicited resumes from individual recruiters or third-party recruiting agencies without pre-approval from ARCO’s Human Resources team. Pre-approval is required before any external candidate can be submitted. ARCO will not be responsible for fees related to unsolicited resumes and for candidates who are sent directly to our hiring managers. Agencies must have a fully executed vendor agreement in place as well as written approval to submit candidates from an ARCO TA Manager for a specific position before submitting candidates. LEGAL DISCLAIMER EOE, including disability/vets" We need to remove boilerplate: legal disclaimer, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. The "MAKE YOUR MOVE" section seems like marketing fluff but may be considered substantive? It includes company stats, etc. Might be considered part of About the role? But we already have About the role section; we could incorporate some of that into About the role prose. However we must not repeat job title as heading. We can include additional prose in About the role. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; but we must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "MAKE YOUR MOVE" and following paragraphs about company stats, values, etc. Are they boilerplate? They are not legal disclaimer; they are descriptive about company. Might be considered substantive. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We already have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. We could incorporate extra company info into About the role as prose.
