Assistant Vice President, Mechanical Engineer - Buildings

We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have job description with many parts. We need to extract sections: maybe "About the role" (intro), "Responsibilities" (Technical Leadership, Project & Operational Leadership, Client Leadership & Business Development, Talent Development, Leadership Responsibilities), "Requirements" (Who You Are Required Qualifications), "Qualifications" (Preferred Qualifications), "Skills" maybe not separate but could be part of qualifications. "Benefits" (WSP Benefits), "Pay" (Compensation Expected Salary). "Schedule" not present (no mention). So we omit Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Also not include Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like bullet points. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to turn lists into
  • . For prose use

    . We need headings

    for each section. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Not present. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is EEO statement, notice to third party agencies, etc. Remove those. Also remove "About WSP" maybe? It's about company but could be considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About WSP" is not explicitly listed as boilerplate but could be considered generic company description. However it's substantive? Might be considered boilerplate but not in list. Safer to keep? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About WSP" is not those. Could keep but maybe it's not needed for job posting. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include as "About the company" but not a specified heading. We have only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we cannot add a custom heading like About WSP. So we should omit that section. Thus we will not include About WSP. Now we need to craft sections: - About the role: introductory paragraph(s) describing opportunity, location, ideal candidate, what they will do high-level. Use prose

    . Could combine first paragraph(s) up to "Your Impact". Actually "Your Impact" is a heading within description but we can treat as part of Responsibilities. Better: About the role: first paragraph: "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 seems good. - Responsibilities: we can break into sub-sections? But we only have heading

    for Responsibilities. Inside we can have

    • each duty. Could group by categories but still list items. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include each bullet from Technical Leadership, Project & Operational Leadership, Client Leadership & Business Development, Talent Development, Leadership Responsibilities, Healthcare Mechanical Engineering Focus Areas, Key Technical Areas Include. We must not lose detail. Thus we will create a long
      with many
      • items covering each point. We need to ensure we don't duplicate.

We need to keep that prose? The instruction: use

        for prose. So for Pay we could have a

        with the salary range and the note. Could also use

        • for the range? But they said use
          • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Pay is not a list; it's a range with notes. So we can use

            . Similarly Benefits is a list, so use

            • . Now we need to output only HTML fragment. No extra text. Let's craft:
