Strategic Procurement Experience: Knowledge of public-sector procurement for professional services, contract negotiation, and consultant or contractor oversight. Preferred Certifications: Project Management Professional (PMP) or Certified Construction Manager (CMAA) credentials that enhance your project delivery capabilities. *Engineering means the "practice of engineering" as defined in RCW 18.43.020. Then there is a link, etc. Then "For the complete job description: ..." etc. Then "Who May Apply: ..." etc. Then many boilerplate about application requirements, EEO, etc. Then "Flexible hours are available, as approved by management." Then "This position is open until filled. The first review for this position in scheduled for the week of September 28, 2026. This position will be reviewed weekly after September 28, 2026." We need to extract sections: About the role (maybe the intro paragraph?), Responsibilities (the bullet list after "As the Capital Project Manager, you will:"), Requirements (maybe the "What you bring:" list?), Qualifications (maybe overlapping with Requirements? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which content maps to which. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's identify content: - About the role: The introductory paragraph describing the role: "Build Excellence: Guide Major County Infrastructure Projects Your diverse engineering background managing capital projects across building systems, sewer infrastructure, and HVAC facilities is exactly what we need. As our Capital Project Manager, you’ll lead construction of essential county assets—literally building the facilities and infrastructure the public relies on—ensuring quality, compliance, and long-term community value." That's about the role. - Responsibilities: The list after "As the Capital Project Manager, you will:" includes six bullet points. Those are responsibilities. - Requirements: Could be the "What you bring:" list? That includes Professional Engineering Credentials, Educational Excellence, Proven Leadership Experience, Comprehensive Engineering Background, Advanced Communication Skills, Strategic Procurement Experience, Preferred Certifications. Those are qualifications/requirements. The instruction says we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings. We could split: Requirements = mandatory items (PE license or pursuing, Bachelor's degree, 2 years supervisory, 6+ years relevant experience). Qualifications = preferred or additional (construction management bonus, public works improvement experience, advanced communication skills, strategic procurement experience, PMP/CMAA). But we need to follow instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills)." So we can include both Requirements and Qualifications if content exists. - Skills: Could be the "Advanced Communication Skills" and "Strategic Procurement Experience" maybe considered skills. But we already have those under Qualifications. Might be better to put them under Skills. However we need to avoid duplication. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But they gave examples of both. We need to decide based on content. We have: - Professional Engineering Credentials (mandatory) - Educational Excellence (mandatory) - Proven Leadership Experience (mandatory) - Comprehensive Engineering Background (mandatory) - Experience in construction management or working closely with construction managers is a strong bonus. (preferred) - Project management experience should be directly related to delivering public works improvements. (maybe mandatory? It says "should be directly related" - sounds like requirement.) - Advanced Communication Skills (maybe skill) - Strategic Procurement Experience (skill) - Preferred Certifications: PMP or CMAA (preferred) Thus we could have: Requirements: Professional Engineering Credentials, Educational Excellence, Proven Leadership Experience, Comprehensive Engineering Background, Project management experience related to public works improvements. Qualifications: Experience in construction management/working with construction managers (bonus), Advanced Communication Skills, Strategic Procurement Experience, Preferred Certifications (PMP/CMAA). Skills: Could be Advanced Communication Skills and Strategic Procurement Experience (but they'd duplicate). Maybe we treat Skills as those two. But we need to avoid filler. Let's see if there is any explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule content. Benefits: Not mentioned except maybe "Flexible hours are available, as approved by management." That's a benefit (flexible hours). Also maybe there is mention of "exempt from overtime", "non-represented", but those are not benefits. There's no explicit health, retirement, etc. So we could include a Benefits section with "Flexible hours are available, as approved by management." That's specific. Pay: Not mentioned. No salary range. So we should NOT include Pay section. Schedule: Not mentioned except flexible hours. Could be Schedule: "Flexible hours are available, as approved by management." But that's more benefit. There's no explicit schedule like full-time, etc. So we might not include Schedule. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. We need to ensure we don't include empty sections. Now format: Use

for each section heading. Then content: For lists, use
  • . For prose, use

    . We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each piece. About the role paragraph: The text: "Build Excellence: Guide Major County Infrastructure Projects Your diverse engineering background managing capital projects across building systems, sewer infrastructure, and HVAC facilities is exactly what we need. As our Capital Project Manager, you’ll lead construction of essential county assets—literally building the facilities and infrastructure the public relies on—ensuring quality, compliance, and long-term community value." We need to keep it as is. Might need to add a space after "Projects". The original had no space: "Build Excellence: Guide Major County Infrastructure Projects Your diverse..." We'll keep as given. Responsibilities: list items: 1. Drive transformative capital construction projects from concept to completion, serving as the technical expert and strategic leader for complex, multidisciplinary infrastructure projects including buildings, utility systems, and public facilities. 2. Manage county-owned asset development with broad professional autonomy, applying independent judgment to establish procedures, systems, and priorities while directing project scope, schedule, and budget on high-impact capital initiatives. 3. Lead cross-functional engineering excellence by serving as the primary technical resource for internal engineers, technicians, and construction managers, while overseeing both in-house teams and external professional service contracts. 4. Navigate complex political, environmental, and technical landscapes, providing expert analysis on sensitive issues and presenting technical testimony and progress updates to elected officials, community groups, and the Board of County Commissioners. 5. Shape procurement and contracting strategy by preparing RFQs, RFPs, and bid solicitations; negotiating contracts with consultants and contractors; and ensuring full compliance with federal, state, and local contracting requirements. 6. Build and mentor high-performing engineering and project delivery teams, establishing performance standards and participating in hiring decisions that will define the future of county infrastructure management. We need to keep punctuation. Requirements: Let's decide mandatory items: - Professional Engineering Credentials: Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Washington State, or actively pursuing Washington State comity, demonstrating commitment to professional excellence and regulatory compliance. - Educational Excellence: Bachelor's degree in civil, mechanical, electrical, or related engineering field from an accredited institution. - Proven Leadership Experience: Minimum 2 years of supervisory or lead experience managing engineering or construction-focused teams or contractors. - Comprehensive Engineering Background: At least 6+ years of relevant engineering experience demonstrating technical competence in municipal infrastructure and public buildings. - Project management experience should be directly related to delivering public works improvements. (This is a statement; we can phrase as "Project management experience directly related to delivering public works improvements.") We'll keep as given. Qualifications (preferred/additional): - Experience in construction management or working closely with construction managers is a strong bonus. - Advanced Communication Skills: Experience with public presentations, technical testimony, and stakeholder engagement, with ability to translate complex engineering concepts for diverse audiences. - Strategic Procurement Experience: Knowledge of public-sector procurement for professional services, contract negotiation, and consultant or contractor oversight. - Preferred Certifications: Project Management Professional (PMP) or Certified Construction Manager (CMAA) credentials that enhance your project delivery capabilities. Skills: Could be Advanced Communication Skills and Strategic Procurement Experience (but they'd duplicate). Maybe we treat Skills as those two, and Qualifications as the rest (including preferred certifications and construction management bonus). But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think: The instruction gave examples of sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So they expect possibly separate sections for Qualifications and Skills. So we can allocate: - Requirements: mandatory items (PE, education, leadership, 6+ years, public works related PM experience). - Qualifications: preferred certifications (PMP/CMAA) and maybe construction management bonus. - Skills: Advanced Communication Skills, Strategic Procurement Experience. That seems reasonable and avoids duplication. Now Benefits: "Flexible hours are available, as approved by management." Also maybe mention "exempt from overtime under FLSA" but that's not a benefit. We'll keep flexible hours. Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. We also need to exclude the link, "For the complete job description: ..." and "For more information about the department: Public Works - Kitsap County". Also exclude "Who May Apply: ..." and all application requirements, EE
