We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro paragraph: "ECS is seeking a Building Enclosure Project Associate to join our Southeast Building Science + Infrastructure team in Long Beach, MS.

That's about the role. Could be "About the role" heading.
- Responsibilities: list under "Responsibilities" heading. The posting has subheadings: Technical & Field Work, Project Management Support, Client Interaction & Team Collaboration, Documentation & Reporting, Additional Responsibilities. We need to combine into a list of duties. Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to extract each bullet point.
Let's list them:
Technical & Field Work:
- Perform building science & infrastructure related testing, inspections, and consulting services.
- Conduct site observations and inspections of roofing and building enclosure systems.
- Interpret drawings, figures, and site plans; assist with drafting or CAD work when needed.
- Perform building enclosure testing and assist with development of testing protocols and test plans.
- Interpret test results, identify deficiencies, and recommend corrective actions.
- Assist with forensic assessments, commissioning activities, and building enclosure investigations.
- Assist with design reviews, repair design for existing building envelope components, and peer review of specifications and submittals.
- Maintain familiarity with building codes and standards including IBC, ASHRAE, ASTM, and CSI.
Project Management Support:
- Manage multiple building science & infrastructure projects simultaneously.
- Coordinate site activities and communicate with field staff, subcontractors, and senior managers.
- Assist with proposals, change orders, project budgets, and invoices.
- Monitor project progress and communicate schedule updates, testing activities, and potential budget impacts.
Client Interaction & Team Collaboration:
- Interface with clients regularly and participate in project meetings and discussions.
- Communicate project milestones and follow up on reports or project findings.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and support development of junior staff.
Documentation & Reporting:
- Prepare clear technical reports summarizing observations, testing results, and recommendations.
- Ensure reports and documentation meet professional standards for accuracy and clarity.
Additional Responsibilities:
- Perform other duties as assigned.
We'll combine all into a single
- under Responsibilities.
- Requirements: The posting has "Education & Experience" and "Additional Requirements". Also "Physical Requirements". Also "Valid driver’s license required if driving for or on behalf of an ECS subsidiary." Also maybe "Licensed or certified in at least one of the following preferred but not required:" but that's more qualifications.
We need to decide sections: Education & Experience could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly.
We have:
- Education & Experience: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or Architecture (NCARB). 2+ years of related experience with building enclosure consulting, including field investigations, testing, commissioning (BECx), design review, or forensic assessments. Licensed or certified in at least one of the following preferred but not required: Professional Engineer (P.E.) Registered Architect (R.A.) IIBEC certifications (RRC, RWC, REWC, RBEC, CBECxP) University of Wisconsin-Madison certifications (BECxP, CxA+BE)
That's qualifications/requirements.
- Knowledge & Skills: Knowledge of building science, building enclosure systems, and construction practices. Familiarity with building codes, materials, and structural or architectural systems. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Ability to manage multiple projects and work effectively with clients and team members. Dependable, detail-oriented, and self-motivated with strong organizational skills.
That's skills.
- Physical Requirements: Ability to lift up to 40 pounds, stand for extended periods, walk on uneven terrain, and perform work at heights.
- Additional Requirements: Valid driver’s license required if driving for or on behalf of an ECS subsidiary.
- Benefits: "Why Join ECS?" section includes: Nationwide Building Science + Infrastructure Consulting practice made up of more than 180 employees with deep technical expertise and opportunities for collaboration across the country; Opportunity to lead high-profile projects with technical complexity and visibility; Be part of a growing and innovative team focused on technical excellence and client service; Supportive work environment that values expertise, collaboration, and continuous learning; Competitive salary, performance bonuses, and comprehensive benefits; ECS is an employee-owned company with an Employee Stock Ownership program (ESOP)!; 401(k) with up to 4% match; Tuition Assistance Program; And more!
Also mention ECS Core Values etc but that's maybe not benefits.
We need to include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does: competitive salary, performance bonuses, comprehensive benefits, ESOP, 401(k) match, tuition assistance. So we should include Benefits.
Pay: Not explicitly stated; only "Competitive salary" but no numbers. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Pay, we need actual numbers or specific pay info. "Competitive salary" is vague; but is that considered stating pay? The rule says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. "Competitive salary" is somewhat vague but it's a statement about pay. However it's not a specific number. The instruction says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". "Competitive salary" could be considered filler. Safer to omit Pay section because no explicit salary figure.
Schedule: Not mentioned. So omit Schedule.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings
- ... each bullet.
We need to ensure we don't lose any bullet.

We need to preserve the phrase "Licensed or certified in at least one of the following preferred but not required:" as part of the content. Could be a
then list. Skills: - Knowledge of building science, building enclosure systems, and construction practices. - Familiarity with building codes, materials, and structural or architectural systems. - Strong written and verbal communication skills. - Ability to manage multiple projects and work effectively with clients and team members. - Dependable, detail-oriented, and self-motivated with strong organizational skills.

for each section. We need to include About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (ul). Requirements? Could combine Education & Experience and Additional Requirements and Physical Requirements under Requirements? Or we could have Requirements (education/experience) and Qualifications (licenses/certs) and Skills (knowledge & skills). But we have limited headings; we can use Requirements for education/experience, Qualifications for licenses/certs, Skills for knowledge & skills, and maybe Physical Requirements could be under Requirements or separate? There's no separate heading for Physical Requirements in the list; but we could include under Requirements as a bullet. Better to follow the given list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Thus: - About the role: intro paragraph. - Responsibilities: ul of duties. - Requirements: Education & Experience + Physical Requirements + Additional Requirements (driver's license). Possibly also include "Bachelor’s or Master’s degree..." etc. - Qualifications: Licensed or certified in at least one of the following preferred but not required: list. - Skills: Knowledge & Skills bullet list. - Benefits: list of benefits. We must not repeat job title. No extra fluff. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's capture each piece. Now format. About the role:
