We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description. Content sections: - About the role: The first paragraph(s) describing opportunity, WSP, Transportation Facilities Group, etc. That's about the role. - Responsibilities: Duties And Responsibilities list. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications? Could be separate but we can combine? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills. We need to decide which sections have content. We have: - About the role: description of opportunity, TFG, projects, etc. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (Bachelor's, 10+ years, licensure, etc.) - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (Experience related in facility design, design-build, transportation industry experience.) - Skills: Could be extracted from responsibilities/qualifications: strong communication, leadership, etc. But we already have many skill-like items in responsibilities and qualifications. Might be redundant. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Skills into Responsibilities or Qualifications. But we have separate headings allowed; we should only include if there is real specific content. We could create a Skills section pulling out skill items: "Strong communication skills including verbal and written", "Strong self-leadership and interpersonal communication skills", "Capable to coordinate and discuss project status", "Thorough understanding of project management tools", etc. However those are already in Minimum Qualifications and Responsibilities. Might be better to not create a separate Skills section to avoid thin sections. We'll decide based on content density. - Benefits: WSP Benefits paragraph. - Pay: Compensation paragraph with salary range. - Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly; there is "Must be flexible to a variety of schedules to meet business needs". That's about schedule flexibility but not a specific schedule. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. For Schedule, we have a statement about flexibility but not a defined schedule (e.g., full-time, hours). It's vague. Might be considered not specific enough. Better to omit Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Benefits, Pay. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from those sections. Let's extract content. About the role: The paragraph(s) before Duties And Responsibilities. Original: "Job Description This Opportunity WSP is currently initiating a search for an Assistant Vice President, Architect for our New York City office.

We need to keep all that. Remove "Job Description This Opportunity" maybe? It's part of the heading but we can keep as prose. We'll just output the content. Responsibilities: The list after "Duties And Responsibilities". It's a paragraph with many sentences, some are bullet-like but not formatted. We need to turn into

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to identify each duty as a list item.

We need to keep each as
    • . Now Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications): - Experience related in facility (building) design, design-build project delivery method. - Transportation industry experience. That's it.

These benefits include coverage related to medical, dental, vision, disability, and life; retirement savings; paid sick leave; paid vacation (or other personal time); paid parental leave; and paid time off for purposes of bereavement, voting, and/or attendance at naturalization proceedings." We need to keep as prose? Could be list but it's a sentence with semicolons. Could turn into
      • for each benefit? The instruction: Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should split into list items. Benefits list: - coverage related to medical, dental, vision, disability, and life - retirement savings - paid sick leave - paid vacation (or other personal time) - paid parental leave - paid time off for purposes of bereavement, voting, and/or attendance at naturalization proceedings We'll keep as

WSP USA reserves the right to ultimately pay more or less than the posted range and offer additional benefits and other compensation, depending on circumstances not related to an applicant’s sex or other status protected by local, state, and/or federal law." We need to keep as prose (

            ). Could also list but it's not a list. Now we must not include sections like About WSP, EEO, etc. Remove boilerplate. We also need to remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Now produce HTML fragment with headings

            and content. Order: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We should not include Schedule. Now ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's craft. About the role: We'll put the paragraph(s) as

            . Might be long; we can keep as one

            but could break into multiple

            for readability but not required. We'll keep as one

            . Responsibilities:

            Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "About WSP" paragraph after compensation is boilerplate about company; we should remove as per instruction to remove boilerplate/EEO etc. The "About WSP ABOUT US ..." is boilerplate; remove. Also remove "WSP
