On-siteProject ManagementFull-time
We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings,
  • for lists,

    for prose. No job title heading, no Job ID, no boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove the "About Perr&Knight" maybe? It's part of description; we can keep as prose under a heading? The instructions: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We have sections: "What We'll Bring to the Table" (benefits, environment). "What You’ll Be Doing" (responsibilities). "What You’ll Bring to the Table" (requirements/qualifications). Also maybe "About Perr&Knight" could be considered company overview, but not a required heading; we could include as a

    under maybe no heading? But we need to decide headings: Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map: "What We'll Bring to the Table" -> Benefits (maybe also work environment). "What You’ll Be Doing" -> Responsibilities. "What You’ll Bring to the Table" -> Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. Could split into Requirements and Skills but we can combine. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe three sections: Benefits, Responsibilities, Requirements. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, accommodation, AI tools, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "About Perr&Knight" maybe considered substantive? It's company overview; could be included as a paragraph without heading? The instruction says we can use

    for prose. It didn't say we must have headings for everything. So we could include a

    about Perr&Knight as an overview, but we need to decide if that's considered substantive. It's not a standard heading but we can just put it as a

    before sections or after. However, they said "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we can have a

    without heading. That's fine. We must not include the equal opportunity employer statement, accommodation, AI tools, etc. Also remove duplicated lines (maybe some lines repeated).

Then stop before the EEO statement. Also remove AI tools paragraph. Thus the About Perr&Knight paragraph we keep up to that mission statement. Now we need to format. We'll have maybe a

    for the location line: "Our PK1Cloud Services team is looking for an Associate Project Manager to work full-time from either our Charlotte, NC or Newark, NJ office." That's substantive; we can put as a

    before sections. Then sections:

    Benefits

    with content from "What We'll Bring to the Table". Need to turn into
    • for list items. The content includes many items separated by commas or line breaks. We need to parse into list items. Original: "Friendly, dynamic work environment - Includes certification as a Great Place to Work® (six years in a row!) along with Climate Neutral StatusCompetitive salary Flexible Work ProgramClear opportunities for career progressionCompany-funded professional educational programVisible management commitment to our company core values of: Diversity & Inclusion, Environmental, Community and Employee Wellbeing, Excellent Work Product, Innovation, Integrity and Superior Customer ExperienceGenerous benefits including:Medical, dental, and vision insuranceCompany-paid life insurance401K with matching Company contributionsPTOCommunity Support Program including VTO and donations with Company matchEmployee Recognition Program" We need to split into sensible list items.

For the core values, we can keep as one item. Thus
      • Friendly, dynamic work environment
      • etc. Now Responsibilities: from "What You’ll Be Doing:" paragraph. Need to break into list items. The paragraph is long with many sentences separated by periods. We'll split each sentence into a
