We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph about Jacobs mission: "At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow..." This is generic but could be considered "About the role"? Actually it's about company. Might be considered "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections have content. We have: - "Your impact We are looking for a driven Building Mechanical engineer to join our team for some of the most exciting infrastructure projects in the Northwest region. You will join a core group of mechanical engineers and designers to deliver innovative solutions to challenging technical problems that our water and wastewater clients face by planning, designing and focusing on HVAC, plumbing, and fire sprinkler systems. These projects typically feature process treatment buildings, administration/operations buildings, laboratories and maintenance buildings, and occasional assignments for other business units, including federal, industrial, and institutional projects. You will design building mechanical systems in areas of potable and non-potable water distribution, building and roof drainage systems, HVAC systems, fire protection and odor control assets; central hydronic plant design (boilers, chillers, cooling towers); and designing central utilities and process exhaust systems for manufacturing, lab, and office spaces. You will be part of our Infrastructure Design Department to provide the following services ..." Then a list of services (Design complete HVAC systems..., Design HVAC control systems..., Design plumbing systems..., Design fire protection systems..., Perform calculations..., Prepare calculations..., Prepare detailed design drawings..., Conduct field evaluations..., Manage and coordinate work..., Lead meetings..., Manage quality and schedule..., Manage project budgets..., Support field staff...). This is responsibilities. Then "Here's what you'll need Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, or related engineering discipline. Professional Engineer (PE) license, or ability to obtain one within one year. A minimum of 5 years of progressive building mechanical engineering and project delivery experience. Motivation, strong data analysis skills, technical problem-solving ability, organizational skills, and the ability to effectively multitask in a fast-paced environment. Proficient skills with MS Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)." That's qualifications/requirements/skills. Then benefits: "Our health and welfare benefits are designed to invest in you, and in the things you care about. Your health. Your well-being. Your security. Your future. Employees have access to medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance, a 401(k) plan, and the ability to purchase company stock at a discount. Eligible employees may also enroll in a deferred compensation plan or the Executive Deferral Plan. Jacobs has an unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) policy for full-time salaried/exempt employees, seven paid holidays, and caregiver leave. And certain roles may be eligible for additional rewards, including merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, and stock." Pay: "The base salary range for this position is $85,000.00 to $171,000.00. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training." Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's hybrid working policy: "We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work." That's schedule info (hybrid). So we can include a Schedule section with that. We also have some boilerplate: EEO statement, job posted date, application instructions, etc. Remove those. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to output only HTML fragment. We need to decide sections: About the role? Could include the introductory paragraph about Jacobs mission and the role impact. That seems appropriate for About the role. Responsibilities: the list of services. Requirements: maybe combine qualifications and skills? The instruction lists separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to include sections only if there is real specific content. We have qualifications (degree, PE license, experience). We have skills (motivation, data analysis, problem-solving, organizational, multitask, MS Office). Could split into Requirements (degree, license, experience) and Skills (soft skills, MS Office). Or we could combine into Qualifications. But we have to follow instruction: use those headings if we have content. We can decide to have Requirements and Skills sections. Qualifications: maybe not needed if we split. But we could have Qualifications for degree/license/experience, and Skills for abilities. However the list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills as examples; we can choose any that fit. Better: Use Requirements for degree, PE license, experience. Use Skills for motivation, data analysis, technical problem-solving, organizational, multitask, MS Office proficiency. We could also have a Qualifications section if we want to include something else, but we can skip if not needed. Benefits: we have content. Pay: we have salary range. Schedule: we have hybrid working policy. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have real content. Now format:

About the role

At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good. Your impact We are looking for a driven Building Mechanical engineer to join our team for some of the most exciting infrastructure projects in the Northwest region. You will join a core group of mechanical engineers and designers to deliver innovative solutions to challenging technical problems that our water and wastewater clients face by planning, designing and focusing on HVAC, plumbing, and fire sprinkler systems. These projects typically feature process treatment buildings, administration/operations buildings, laboratories and maintenance buildings, and occasional assignments for other business units, including federal, industrial, and institutional projects.

You will be part of our Infrastructure Design Department to provide the following services

But note: The sentence "You will be part of our Infrastructure Design Department to provide the following services" leads into list. Might be better to keep that as part of responsibilities intro. We could split: About the role includes the mission and role description up to "You will be part of our Infrastructure Design Department to provide the following services". Then Responsibilities starts with the list. But we must not duplicate content. Let's decide: About the role: first paragraph about Jacobs mission and role overview (maybe up to "You will be part of our Infrastructure Design Department to provide the following services"). Responsibilities: then the bullet list. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Thus responsibilities list as
    • ... each item. Now Requirements: bullet list of degree, PE license, experience. Skills: bullet list of motivation, data analysis, technical problem-solving, organizational skills, multitask, MS Office proficiency. Benefits: bullet list of benefits. Pay: maybe a

      with salary range. Schedule:

      with hybrid policy. We must not include headings for empty sections. Now ensure we remove boilerplate: EEO, job posted date, application instructions, etc. Also remove lines like "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to..." etc. Also remove "Job posted on August 28, 2026. This position will be open for at least 3 days." etc. Also remove "We value collaboration..."? That's schedule/hybrid, we keep. Now produce HTML. Check for any stray text that might be considered boilerplate: "Your impact" appears in the intro; we keep as part of paragraph. Now produce final HTML. Let's craft:
