We need to output HTML fragment with sections as per rules. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
Intro paragraph: "At HDR, our employee-owners are fully engaged in creating a welcoming environment where each of us is valued and respected, a place where everyone is empowered to bring their authentic selves and novel ideas to work every day. As we foster a culture of inclusion throughout our company and within our communities, we constantly ask ourselves: What is our impact on the world? Watch Our Story:' https://www.hdrinc.com/our-story' Each and every role throughout our organization makes a difference in our ability to change the world for the better. Read further to learn how you could help make great things possible not only in your community, but around the world."
That's about company culture. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About HDR". But we have to use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The intro could go under About the role (description of role and company). We'll include that.
Then "In the role of Bridge Designer/EIT, we'll count on you to:" followed by bullet list of duties. Those are responsibilities.
List:
- Apply structural engineering and detailing techniques in the development of bridge designs
- Work on projects that typically include bridge (steel plate girder, prestress concrete, segmental and cable) box culvert, and interchange design for highway and railway projects
- Perform structural load calculations and assist with geometric layout and quantity development
- Select standard bridge engineering/design procedures, and develop structural details using specialized software
- Participate in bridge inspection, perform structural load calculations and assist with geometric layout and quantity development
- Perform other duties as needed
Note there is duplication: "Perform structural load calculations and assist with geometric layout and quantity development" appears twice (once in third bullet and again in fifth bullet). We should preserve all substantive info but remove duplicated lines? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate that line. Keep one instance.
Thus responsibilities list after dedup:
- Apply structural engineering and detailing techniques in the development of bridge designs
- Work on projects that typically include bridge (steel plate girder, prestress concrete, segmental and cable) box culvert, and interchange design for highway and railway projects
- Perform structural load calculations and assist with geometric layout and quantity development
- Select standard bridge engineering/design procedures, and develop structural details using specialized software
- Participate in bridge inspection
- Perform other duties as needed
But note the fifth bullet originally: "Participate in bridge inspection, perform structural load calculations and assist with geometric layout and quantity development". Since we removed duplicate calculations line, we might keep just "Participate in bridge inspection". However we might lose the rest of that phrase. The duplicate line removed is the calculations part; we could keep "Participate in bridge inspection" as separate bullet. That seems okay.
Now Preferred Qualifications section:
- Bachelor's degree in Civil/Structural engineering or related engineering field
- Master's degree in Structural Engineering
- Engineer in Training (EIT) certificate
- Candidates without their EIT will be placed into a Design Coordinator job code and will be expected to obtain their EIT for career progression
- Familiarity with engineering software packages such as: LEAP Bridge Enterprise, FB-MultiPier, LPile, AASHTOWare BrR, midas Civil, MDX, SAP2000, CSiBridge, ADINA, RM Bridge, spColumn, LUSAS, STLBridgeLRFD, or STLBridge, MS Office, MathCAD and AutoCAD, LARSA and Prestress Concrete Design experience
- Experience in bridge/structural design
- Local candidates preferred
We need to decide where to put these. According to headings list, we have Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Usually "Preferred Qualifications" could go under Qualifications (or Requirements). "Required Qualifications" also. We need to avoid thin sections. We could combine Required and Preferred under Qualifications? But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide mapping.
The posting has "Preferred Qualifications" and "Required Qualifications". We could treat "Required Qualifications" as Requirements, and "Preferred Qualifications" as Qualifications (or Skills). However we also have a list of software familiarity etc. That could be Skills.
Let's map:
- Requirements: Required Qualifications (must-haves)
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (nice-to-haves)
- Skills: maybe the software familiarity and technical skills? But we already have software in Preferred Qualifications. Could also put under Skills.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's see Required Qualifications list:
- Bachelor's degree
- Familiarity with Bluebeam Revu and knowledge of engineering software packages such as: LEAP Bridge Enterprise, FB-MultiPier, LPile, AASHTOWare BrR, midas Civil, CSiBridge, RM Bridge, spColumn, STLBridgeLRFD, or STLBridge. Bentley OpenBridge Modeler and/or Autodesk Infraworks and Civil3d
- Strong understanding and hands-on use of computers for structural layout and design
- Good communication skills and willing to work in a team environment
- An attitude and commitment to being an active participant of our employee-owned culture is a must
Preferred Qualifications list includes many items, some overlapping with Required (like software). We need to preserve all substantive info, but we can combine and avoid duplication. However we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep both sections but ensure no duplicated lines.
We could have:

Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Civil/Structural engineering or related engineering field
- Master's degree in Structural Engineering
- Engineer in Training (EIT) certificate
- Candidates without their EIT will be placed into a Design Coordinator job code and will be expected to obtain their EIT for career progression

- Local candidates preferred
But note duplication: software list appears in both Required and Preferred. The Required list includes Bluebeam Revu plus some software list (LEAP Bridge Enterprise, FB-MultiPier, LPile, AASHTOWare BrR, midas Civil, CSiBridge, RM Bridge, spColumn, STLBridgeLRFD, or STLBridge. Bentley OpenBridge Modeler and/or Autodesk Infraworks and Civil3d). Preferred list includes a slightly different set: LEAP Bridge Enterprise, FB-MultiPier, LPile, AASHTOWare BrR, midas Civil, MDX, SAP2000, CSiBridge, ADINA, RM Bridge, spColumn, LUSAS, STLBridgeLRFD, or STLBridge, MS Office, MathCAD and AutoCAD, LARSA and Prestress Concrete Design experience. There's overlap but not exact duplicates. We should keep both as they are distinct details. However the instruction says remove duplicated lines. If a line is exactly identical, we remove. These are not identical lines; they have variations. So we keep.
Now Skills section: maybe we could put technical skills like software familiarity etc. But we already have them in Qualifications/Requirements. Could we create a Skills section for things like "Good communication skills", "Strong understanding and hands-on use of computers", "Experience in bridge/structural design"? But those are already in Requirements/Qualifications. To avoid thin sections, maybe we skip Skills section if content is covered elsewhere. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could omit Skills if its content would be thin. However we have not yet used Skills heading. We could decide to not include Skills.
Benefits, Pay, Schedule: The posting includes Schedule:Full-time under "Other Locations" etc. Actually near the bottom: "Schedule:Full-time". Also "Employee Status:Regular". There's no explicit Benefits or Pay. So we should include Schedule section because it's stated. Benefits and Pay not present, so omit.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Schedule.
Check if any other specific content like "Primary Location:United States-Pennsylvania-Plymouth Meeting Other Locations:United States-Pennsylvania-Philadelphia, United States-Pennsylvania-Bethlehem". That's location info. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in headings list. Could we put location under About the role? Probably yes as part of description. We'll include location details in About the role paragraph.
Also there is "Industry:Bridges", "BusinessClass:Bridges and Structures", "Job Posting:Sep 28, 2026". Those are metadata; we could fold into About the role paragraph or drop? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with location, industry, job posting date. We'll incorporate into About the role. Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, "At HDR, we are committed to the principles of employment equity..." etc. Remove that. Also remove duplicated lines: we already deduped the structural load calculations line. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:
