Assistant General Counsel
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove EEO statement, NOTICE TO THIRD PARTY AGENCIES, etc. Also remove "Move Forward with Kleinfelder" maybe it's generic but contains some description; we can keep as "About the role" maybe. The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to those headings. Likely sections: About the role (intro + job summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Experience & Academic Requirements and Position Competency Requirements?), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements?), Skills (maybe from competency), Benefits, Pay (salary range), Schedule (not present, so omit). We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So if schedule not present, omit.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include details from job summary, responsibilities list, competency requirements, experience & academic requirements, benefits, salary range, career development maybe as part of Benefits or separate? Could be under Benefits or maybe a separate section like "Career Development" but not in allowed headings; we could incorporate into Benefits or maybe under "Qualifications"? Probably better to include under Benefits as part of benefits package. But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. That's four sections.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So responsibilities list should be ul li. Requirements list (maybe combine competency and experience) also ul li. Benefits list also ul li.
We need to use
for prose.
We must not include job ID/requisition numbers.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, notice to third party agencies, etc.
We must preserve all substantive info: So we need to include the intro paragraphs, job summary, responsibilities bullet points, competency requirements bullet points, experience & academic requirements bullet points, benefits bullet points, salary range, career development bullet points maybe.
We need to ensure we don't lose any detail.
Let's extract substantive content:
Intro: "Take Your Corporate Career to the Next Level Are you ready to be challenged, make a difference, and experience professional growth in your career? Kleinfelder’s Corporate Services team is looking for you! From Accounting & Finance, Human Resources, Marketing & Communications, and Information Technology to Legal and Health & Safety, our corporate employees are part of the Kleinfelder ecosystem – supporting the projects that improve the communities we work and live in. Step into Your New Role Kleinfelder has an exciting opportunity for an Assistant General Counsel."
Job Summary: "The Assistant General Counsel (Claims & Litigation) serves as the Company's lead attorney responsible for the management of all claims, litigation, arbitration, mediation, and dispute resolution matters. This position partners closely with executive leadership, operations, insurance and risk management professionals, and outside counsel to proactively manage legal risk, minimize financial exposure, and achieve favorable outcomes in disputes involving the Company. Reporting directly to the General Counsel, the Assistant General Counsel will develop claims and litigation management strategies, oversee outside counsel, and manage all professional liability, E&O, commercial, employment, and general liability matters.

Responsibilities list (bullet points): many items.
Position Competency Requirements list (bullet points).
Experience & Academic Requirements list (bullet points): Education: Juris Doctorate from ABA accredited law school and active membership in any state bar. Experience: Minimum of 15 years of experience in construction law or a related field with significant responsibility for managing complex litigation and claims. Must have demonstrated experience managing outside counsel and significant litigation budgets. Experience within the engineering, architecture, environmental consulting, or construction industries is highly desirable. Following an offer, candidates will be required to satisfactorily complete employment reference checks, verification of professional licensure and/or educational credentials, a motor vehicle report (MVR), and a comprehensive background check.
Move Forward with Kleinfelder paragraph: "Kleinfelder has been connecting great people to the best work since 1961. We are engineers, scientists, and construction professionals providing solutions that improve our clients’ transportation, water, energy, and other private infrastructure. As a responsive, cross-disciplinary team of bright, curious, and innovative problem-solvers, we are dedicated to doing the right thing, every day, on every project from over 85 offices in the US, Canada, and Australia. Connecting great people to the best work is our purpose – together, we deliver."
Progress with an Employer that Values You: includes Benefits, Career Development, Equal Opportunity (remove), etc.
Benefits: "Kleinfelder, and its’ subsidiaries and affiliates, offers an excellent compensation and benefits package, including: medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k) plan, and paid holidays. The expected salary range for the position is displayed in accordance with the State Pay Transparency Law. Final agreed upon compensation is based upon individual qualifications and experience. Salary Range: $150,000-$225,000."
Career Development: "We are committed to investing in the professional development of our staff, offering each employee every opportunity to grow, develop, and take control of their career paths. We support these efforts through reimbursements for continuing education as well as many of the expenses associated with trainings and certifications, and opportunities for career development through our internal Mentoring Program."
Equal Opportunity statement to remove.
NOTICE TO THIRD PARTY AGENCIES to remove.
Thus we need to include Benefits and Career Development maybe under Benefits section (or separate). Since Benefits heading allowed, we can include both benefits and career development under Benefits as a list? But career development is not a benefit per se but could be included. However instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can list benefits items as ul li. Career development could be a p.
Pay section: we need to include salary range. Since Pay heading allowed, we can include salary range there. Also note about expected salary range displayed per law. So we can put that in Pay section as p.
Schedule: not present, omit.
Now About the role: combine intro and job summary maybe as p.
Responsibilities: ul li.
Requirements: maybe combine Position Competency Requirements and Experience & Academic Requirements into Requirements section (or split into Requirements and Qualifications). Since we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. Could put competency under Qualifications and experience under Requirements. But we need to avoid thin sections. However we have enough content for both.
Let's decide: Use Requirements for Experience & Academic Requirements (education, experience, background checks). Use Qualifications for Position Competency Requirements (skills, abilities). That seems logical.
Thus sections:
- About the role (intro + job summary)
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (education/experience/background)
- Qualifications (competency/skills)
- Benefits (benefits list + career development maybe)
- Pay (salary range)
We must not include Schedule.
Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's list each piece.
About the role prose: combine the introductory paragraphs and job summary. Should we split into two p? Could be one p containing all. We'll keep as one p maybe long but okay.
Responsibilities: list each bullet as li.
We need to capture all responsibilities bullet points exactly as in text. Let's extract them:
