We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Date: Sep 24, 2026 (maybe metadata, can be dropped)
- Location: Overland Park, KS, US
- Company: Black & Veatch Family of Companies (but we can maybe include in a short paragraph)
- Req Id: 117286 (drop)
- Opportunity Type: Staff (maybe not needed)
- Relocation eligible: No
- Full time/Part time: Full-Time
- Project Only Hire: No
- Visa Sponsorship Available: No
- Why Black & Veatch? paragraph: description of company, employee-owned, etc.
- The Opportunity: description of role: Virtual Design & Data Solutions (VDDS) Associate Engineering Technician under general supervision, performs technical tasks requiring intermediate knowledge of engineering principles and practices in support of creating or modifying deliverables. This role will be responsible for the development of plan & profile deliverables using Autodesk Civil 3D and/or Bentley MicroStation. This role will be within the Black & Veatch Distributed Infrastructure (Grid) solution, supporting client needs related to underground transmission line projects. Basic Civil 3D experience is required with knowledge of alignments, plan/profile, and sections.
- The Team: description of Black & Veatch Operations.
- Key Responsibilities: bullet list of many items.
- Preferred Qualifications: Diploma or Certificate required. Associate Degree in Drafting or an Engineering Design Related Technology preferred.
- Minimum Qualifications: Typically a minimum of 2 years related work experience. All applicants must be able to complete pre-employment onboarding requirements (if selected) which may include any/all of the following: criminal/civil background check, drug screen, and motor vehicle records search, in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations.
- Work Environment/Physical Demands: Hybrid or flexible work options may be offered after the first 90 days of employment based upon manager discretion, job performance and work assignments.
- Salary Plan ENT: Engineering Technician Job Grade 014 (maybe pay info? Not specific salary number, just grade. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states Salary Plan ENT: Engineering Technician Job Grade 014. That's not a specific salary figure, but it's a pay plan/grade. Might be considered pay info? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state a Salary Plan and Job Grade. That is some pay-related info. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." And "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". Here we have a specific grade, not placeholder. So we could include a Pay section with that info. But we need to decide if it's substantive enough. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". The Salary Plan ENT: Engineering Technician Job Grade 014 is specific content. So we can include a Pay section.
- Benefits: The posting includes a paragraph about benefits: "Our comprehensive benefits portfolio is a key component of this commitment and offers an array of health care benefits including but not limited to medical, dental and vision insurances along with disability and a robust wellness program. To support a healthy work-life balance, we offer flexible work schedules, paid vacation and holiday time, sick time, and dependent sick time. A variety of additional benefits are available to our professionals, including a company-matched 401k plan, adoption reimbursement, tuition reimbursement, vendor discounts, an employment referral program, AD&D insurance, pre-taxed accounts, voluntary legal plan and the B&V Credit Union. Professionals may also be eligible for a performance-based bonus program. We are proud to be a 100 percent ESOP-owned company. As employee-owners, our professionals are empowered to drive not only their personal growth, but the company's long-term achievements - and they share in the financial rewards of the success through stock ownership. By valuing diverse voices and perspectives, we cultivate an authentically inclusive environment for professionals and are able to provide innovative and effective solutions for clients."
Thus we have benefits content.
- Schedule: Not explicitly stated besides hybrid/flexible after 90 days. That's more work environment. Could be considered schedule? The posting mentions "Hybrid or flexible work options may be offered after the first 90 days of employment". That's schedule/flexibility. Could include a Schedule section with that info. However the rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state flexible work options after 90 days. So we could include Schedule.
But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Work Environment/Physical Demands and Schedule into one? But we have to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include.
We have:
- About the role: could be the "Why Black & Veatch?" and "The Opportunity" and "The Team". That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: the Key Responsibilities list.
- Requirements: could combine Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? Or separate? The headings list includes Requirements and Qualifications. Usually Requirements = minimum qualifications, Qualifications = preferred? But we can decide.
We need to not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for the role title.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:

Thus we have benefits content.

We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:
About the role
... (combining why Black & Veatch, opportunity, team)
Responsibilities
- ... ...
Requirements
Minimum of 2 years related work experience. Must be able to complete pre-employment onboarding requirements, which may include criminal/civil background check, drug screen, and motor vehicle records search, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Qualifications
Diploma or Certificate required. Associate Degree in Drafting or an Engineering Design Related Technology preferred.
Skills
Maybe we can extract skills from responsibilities: uses digital tools and design software (CAD, BIM, 3D modeling), creates/updates/maintains technical documentation, provides technical guidance, stays current on standards, applies BV Quality Program, attention to detail, continuous improvement, coordinate deliverables, perform basic computations, etc. Could list as- . But we might not need a separate Skills section if we already have Responsibilities and Qualifications. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. If we add Skills, we need to ensure it's substantive. Could combine skills into Responsibilities or Qualifications. But we have a heading for Skills in the list; we can include if we have specific skill content. The posting does mention "Uses digital tools and design software (e.g., CAD, BIM, 3D modeling)" etc. That's skill. Could create a Skills section with bullet list.
But we also have Pay, Benefits, Schedule.
We have Pay: Salary Plan ENT: Engineering Technician Job Grade 014.
We have Benefits: paragraph.
We have Schedule: Hybrid or flexible work options may be offered after the first 90 days of employment based upon manager discretion, job performance and work assignments.
We could combine Schedule into Benefits or Work Environment? But we have a heading for Schedule; we can include if we have content.
We need to avoid filler. All content seems specific.
Thus final sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Let's craft each.
About the role: combine the "Why Black & Veatch?" paragraph, "The Opportunity" paragraph, and "The Team" paragraph.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details but can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That suggests we should not omit details, but we can rephrase? It says do not summarize away detail, meaning we should not lose details. We can keep the same sentences maybe. Safer to copy the relevant sentences verbatim, but we can combine them into a paragraph.
Let's extract:
Why Black & Veatch? paragraph:
"At Black & Veatch, you’ll be part of work that matters—designing, creating, and building the infrastructure communities rely on every day, from concept through execution. We care about how the work gets done as much as what we build. Safety is built into every decision, and people look out for each other—speaking up, collaborating, and doing the right thing because it affects real lives. You’ll work alongside teams solving complex challenges and turning ideas into solutions that perform in the real world—gaining hands-on experience across projects, technologies, and disciplines. Ownership shows up in how we work. We take responsibility for outcomes, follow through on commitments, and take pride in what we deliver. As a 100% employee-owned company, employees share in the long-term success we build together. With flexible ways of working and meaningful development opportunities, you’ll build a career you can be proud to stand behind."
The Opportunity paragraph:
"The Virtual Design & Data Solutions (VDDS) Associate Engineering Technician under general supervision, performs technical tasks requiring intermediate knowledge of engineering principles and practices in support of creating or modifying deliverables. This role will be responsible for the development of plan & profile deliverables using Autodesk Civil 3D and/or Bentley MicroStation. This role will be within the Black & Veatch Distributed Infrastructure (Grid) solution, supporting client needs related to underground transmission line projects. Basic Civil 3D experience is required with knowledge of alignments, plan/profile, and sections."
The Team paragraph:
"Black & Veatch Operations develops, deploys, and maintains global resources and capabilities that guide execution and process excellence across the organization. The foundation of Black & Veatch Operations provides the ability to move where your skills are needed and allows for a collaborative and innovative culture offering greater challenges and career development opportunities."
We'll combine these into About the role paragraph(s). Could be multiple
