Associate/Sr. Associate Attorney - Clean Water/Great Lakes Protection

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have About ELPC (description) and Job Summary etc. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to parse the posting. Content: - About ELPC: description of organization. Could be "About the organization" but they gave list of possible headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They didn't list "About ELPC" but we could use "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is for role description. The "About ELPC" is organization description; maybe we can treat as "About the role"? Not exactly. But we could include a section like "About ELPC" using

but not in the list? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies those are examples; we can use other headings if appropriate? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect we use those headings where applicable. The posting includes: About ELPC (organization overview), Job Summary, Essential Job Functions (Responsibilities), Education & Experience (Requirements/Qualifications), Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (Skills), Estimated Travel (maybe not a heading), Salary (Pay), Benefits (Benefits), Location (maybe Schedule? Actually schedule is hybrid work environment with two required days in office each week). So we can map: - About ELPC -> maybe "About the role"? Not perfect but could be "About ELPC". However they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. They didn't forbid other headings. I'd include a heading "About ELPC" as

. Might be acceptable. - Job Summary -> could be part of About the role? Could be a

under About the role? But we have separate Job Summary paragraph. Could treat as "About the role". Let's make a section "About the role" containing the Job Summary paragraph. - Essential Job Functions -> Responsibilities. - Education & Experience -> Requirements (or Qualifications). Could combine both as Requirements. - Knowledge, Skills & Abilities -> Skills. - Estimated Travel -> maybe not a separate section; could be included under Requirements or as a note. But we can include under "Requirements" as a bullet. - Salary -> Pay. - Benefits -> Benefits. - Location/hybrid schedule -> Schedule. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range and benefits description. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting didn't have those except maybe the ELPC description includes some promotional text but that's substantive. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract details: About ELPC paragraph: long description. We'll keep as

. Job Summary: "The Clean Water/Great Lakes Protection Associate Attorney will litigate and advocate to protect access to safe, clean water for people around the Midwest, and to protect the Great Lakes, which is a global ecological gem, provides safe clean drinking water supplies to 40 million people, and support enjoyable recreational opportunities and fisheries for the region. The Great Lakes is where we live, work and play. The Associate Attorney (2-3 years of experience) or Senior Associate Attorney (4-6 years of experience) will engage in federal court strategic litigation, state court and administrative cases to tighten or enforce Clean Water Act permits, and federal and state policy initiatives to advance protection and restoration of the Great Lakes and safe, clean drinking water for all. ELPC’s recent and ongoing clean water and Great Lakes protection work includes, for example: (1) successful federal court litigation on behalf of community group clients to stop the Army Corps of Engineers’ misguided proposed new toxic dredged wastes landfill along the Lake Michigan shoreline in Chicago’s Southeast Side environmental justice community; (2) federal and state court litigation and policy advocacy to reduce industrial water pollution from large steel mills in Northwest Indiana; (2) federal court litigation to alleviate toxic algae blooms in western Lake Erie by agricultural pollution in Northwest Ohio and in Michigan; (4) successful litigation before the Michigan Supreme Court to reverse a permit for the proposed Line 5 oil pipeline tunnel running through the Straits of Mackinac; and (5) a multi-faceted campaign to reduce cancer-causing nitrates in Iowa’s drinking water." Note there is a duplicate numbering (2) appears twice; we keep as is.

Benefits: ELPC provides a very robust benefits package competitive to leading national and regional environmental non-profits. Location: Chicago, IL with a hybrid work environment that includes two required days in the office each week (Tuesdays and Wednesdays) to spur effective collaboration. We also have Reports To: Senior Attorneys in ELPC’s Clean Water-Clean Air and Great Places, Great Lakes Programs. Title: Associate/Sr. Associate Attorney - Clean Water/Great Lakes Protection Program. But we are told not to repeat job title as heading; we can include that info in a paragraph maybe under About the role? Could include as part of Job Summary? The job summary already mentions Associate Attorney etc. Could add a line about Reports To. But we must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include Reports To somewhere. Could add a

under About the role or under Responsibilities? Probably better to add a short paragraph after Job Summary: "Reports to: Senior Attorneys in ELPC’s Clean Water-Clean Air and Great Places, Great Lakes Programs." We'll keep. Also Title line: "Title: Associate/Sr. Associate Attorney - Clean Water/Great Lakes Protection Program". Since we are not to repeat job title as heading, we can include it in a paragraph maybe under About the role. We'll structure:

About the role

Job Summary: ... plus Title and Reports To maybe.

But we need to avoid duplication: The Job Summary already includes description of role; we can embed Title and Reports To within that paragraph. Let's craft:
