We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for each section present with real content. No job title heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. Include sections: About the role? The posting has "Job Description This Opportunity ..." then sections like "Your Impact" with subheadings: Technical Leadership, Project & Operational Leadership, Client Leadership & Business Development, Talent Development, Leadership Responsibilities, Healthcare Mechanical Engineering Focus Areas, Key Technical Areas Include, Who You Are (Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications), WSP Benefits, Compensation (Expected Salary), About WSP (maybe not needed? It's about company, but it's substantive; but we might include as "About WSP"? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The "About WSP" is present; we could include as a section. However they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine some.

We need to use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but we can use other headings if appropriate? Probably stick to those headings where applicable. They said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. Let's see:
- About the role: could be the introductory paragraph describing opportunity.
- Responsibilities: could be the "Your Impact" sections (Technical Leadership, Project & Operational Leadership, Client Leadership & Business Development, Talent Development, Leadership Responsibilities). Could combine under Responsibilities.
- Requirements/Qualifications: "Who You Are" includes Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could split into Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred) or combine.
- Skills: maybe not explicit separate; but we could include under Qualifications.
- Benefits: WSP Benefits section.
- Pay: Compensation Expected Salary.
- Schedule: not present, so omit.
We should not create empty sections.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to extract lists.
Let's parse content.
Intro: "Job Description This Opportunity WSP is currently initiating a search for an Assistant Vice President, Mechanical Engineer to join our growing Property & Buildings Healthcare Team in Cleveland, Ohio, with an alternate location in Columbus, Ohio. This opportunity is ideal for a senior mechanical engineering leader with extensive healthcare facility experience who is passionate about delivering innovative, resilient, and sustainable healthcare environments. The successful candidate will provide technical and strategic leadership, project and operational oversight, business development support, and client relationship management while helping expand WSP's Healthcare practice throughout Ohio and the broader Midwest. As an Assistant Vice President, you will serve as a trusted advisor to healthcare clients, lead multidisciplinary project teams, mentor engineering staff, and collaborate with local, regional, and national leadership. You will oversee the delivery of complex healthcare projects while contributing to business growth, staffing strategies, client relationships, operational excellence, and market expansion."
That's prose for About the role.
Responsibilities: The "Your Impact" sections each have bullet-like paragraphs. We can turn each bullet into
- under a
. Could group under Responsibilities.
Let's list each responsibility bullet:
Technical Leadership:
- Serve as a senior mechanical engineering leader for healthcare projects across Ohio and the broader Midwest region.
- Lead the planning, design, coordination, and delivery of complex healthcare mechanical systems through all project phases.
- Function as Engineer of Record and/or Mechanical Discipline Lead on complex, multidisciplinary healthcare projects.
- Review and approve mechanical calculations, specifications, studies, and design documentation.
- Provide technical oversight for HVAC, hydronic, plumbing, medical gas, building automation, energy recovery, and central utility systems.
- Oversee construction administration activities, including submittal review, RFIs, field observations, testing and balancing coordination, commissioning support, punch lists, issue resolution, and closeout.
- Ensure compliance with healthcare design standards, industry regulations, and applicable codes.
Project & Operational Leadership:
- Manage project budgets, schedules, staffing plans, deliverables, scope, fees, and quality objectives.
- Provide oversight of project execution, profitability, risk management, change management, and financial performance.
- Lead project reviews, QA/QC efforts, and technical excellence initiatives.
- Promote compliance with WSP health, safety, quality, and risk-management policies and contractual obligations.
- Support contract negotiations, scope and fee development, project delivery strategies, and corrective actions.
- Ensure successful delivery that meets client expectations, contractual obligations, and business objectives.
Client Leadership & Business Development:
- Develop and maintain strong relationships with healthcare clients, architects, contractors, and strategic industry partners.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to healthcare systems and facility owners.
- Support strategic pursuits, including client engagement, capture planning, proposal development, technical narratives, interviews, presentations, scope clarification, and fee development.
- Identify cross-selling opportunities and help grow strategic client accounts.
- Collaborate with local, regional, and national leadership to expand WSP's healthcare market presence.
Talent Development:
- Mentor and develop engineers, designers, and technical staff.
- Support recruiting, onboarding, retention, and succession planning initiatives.
- Foster a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, accountability, and innovation.
- Provide leadership and coaching to project teams across multiple offices.
- Support employee growth through training, professional development, and career progression opportunities.
Leadership Responsibilities:
- Contribute to strategic planning and healthcare market growth initiatives.
- Support office leadership, workforce planning, and operational objectives.
- Promote innovation, sustainability, resiliency, and infrastructure modernization solutions for healthcare clients.
- Champion WSP's culture, values, technical excellence, quality, and collaboration.
- Exercise responsible and ethical decision-making regarding company funds, resources, and conduct consistent with WSP policies and professional standards.
Healthcare Mechanical Engineering Focus Areas: This is a list of facility types. Could be under Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like "Focus Areas". But we only have allowed headings; maybe we can incorporate into Responsibilities as part of duties. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we could add a Focus Areas
but not in allowed list. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use for section headings (e.g. ...)" implying those are examples; we could still use other headings but better to stick to those. However "Healthcare Mechanical Engineering Focus Areas" is substantive; we could treat as part of Responsibilities (duties). Or we could create a section "Responsibilities" and include subheadings? Not allowed to add extra headings? The instruction only says use for section headings; doesn't forbid other headings but says use for section headings (e.g. ...). I think we should only use those headings to keep simple. So we can embed the focus areas as a list under Responsibilities.
Similarly "Key Technical Areas Include" list.
We also have "Who You Are" with Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We'll map Required Qualifications to Requirements section, Preferred Qualifications to Qualifications section.
Skills: maybe not separate; we could embed skills within Qualifications.
Benefits: WSP Benefits.
Pay: Compensation Expected Salary.
Schedule: none.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only.
