We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. We need to parse the job posting. Key info: - Title: Capital Program Director (not to repeat as heading) - Overview: The Capital Program Director oversees the City’s Capital Program within the Department of Finance and Administration and in close coordination with the cross-departmental Capital Committee.

The Capital Program Director provides project management guidance to those departments that do not have the expertise to develop or manage their capital projects. That's a description; could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". We need to decide sections. We have details about duties broken into subheadings: Capital Planning & Budgeting, Capital Funding, Stakeholder Engagement, Project Management & Delivery, Other Duties as Assigned. We can group responsibilities under a "Responsibilities" section with
  • items. We have Pay: Union Affiliation: Non-Union Pay Grade 23: $98,373.19 - $109,830.74 Annually Remote Tier 2: Up to one (1) day remote/week Thus Pay section: include salary range and remote info. Schedule: remote tier 2: up to one day remote/week. Could be part of Pay or separate Schedule. Since we have schedule info, we can include a Schedule section. Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits details. So we should not create Benefits section. Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree in a field of Construction Management, Facilities Management, Business Administration, Public Administration or related field Minimum five (5) Years of relevant experience, including in facilities and construction trades and project management. Leadership skills including ability to collaborate effectively with department heads, project managers and others throughout the organization. Executive decision-making skills. Knowledge of sustainable design and environmental practices preferred. Working knowledge of Zoning and Building Trades Life Safety Code Requirements Demonstrated strong knowledge of technology and understanding of emerging technologies, services and programming trends in capital and facility planning.

Ability to understand and comply with City standards, safety rules and personnel policies. Possession of a valid driver’s license. Promoting a culture that reveres diversity and equity (but that's EEO boilerplate; we should remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate). Also "Demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion as evidenced by ongoing trainings and professional development." That's a qualification maybe but could be considered part of qualifications. However we need to remove EEO boilerplate but not necessarily diversity commitment statements if they are part of qualifications? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The diversity commitment statement might be considered EEO boilerplate? It's about promoting diversity, but it's part of job description. Might be okay to keep as part of qualifications? Safer to keep if it's not pure boilerplate. However the line "Promoting a culture that reveres diversity and equity" followed by EEO statement is likely boilerplate. We'll remove the EEO paragraph entirely. Keep the "Demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion as evidenced by ongoing trainings and professional development." as a qualification. Skills: Could be separate section for skills like proficiency with Microsoft Office, Adobe Suite, GIS, AutoCAD, Google Earth, social media, etc. But we can incorporate into Qualifications or Skills. Since we have many skill-like items, we could create a Skills section for technical proficiencies: Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel; Adobe Suite/GIS/AutoCAD/Google Earth/social media; knowledge of cost accounting system; budget development; energy management systems; facility management systems; technology understanding; etc. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: We'll have sections: About the role (short paragraph summarizing), Responsibilities (list of duties), Qualifications (education, experience, core competencies), Skills (technical proficiencies), Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail.
