The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove Reasonable Accommodation section as it's EEO-related. Also remove the EEO policy paragraph.

Qualifications maybe same as requirements? The posting includes "Minimum Education Requirement" and "Minimum Experience Requirement". Also "Other Requirements, Conditions Of Employment".

We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are relevant. Let's extract overview text: "Serves as a US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) national specialist, subject matter expert, and technical advisor for all structural engineering aspects associated with infrastructure risk management for dam and levee systems for the Risk Management Center (RMC) and USACE. Works under the direction of the Structural Branch Chief." That's the overview. Now responsibilities: list each duty from Description Of Assignment/Duties. Let's break down: - Provides technical expertise for the development and implementation of methodology to support the hazard identification, analysis, design, technical review, construction, operation, and rehabilitation of a diverse range of projects within the USACE portfolio. - Responsible for the development, oversight, and review of structural engineering aspects of risk assessments, studies, and other technical products developed under the RMC. - Plans, coordinates, and directs structural engineering activities including steel and concrete materials, probabilistic structural and stability analysis, uncertainty quantification, field and lab studies, and data interpretation in support of design, risk assessments, and other studies performed by the RMC. - Serves on diverse multi-disciplinary teams performing complex risk assessments, for the purpose of evaluating the performance of USACE infrastructure projects. - Serves on technical review teams and quality assurance teams. - Reviews and make recommendations on the approval of various reports and decision documents. - Interprets guidance and provides technical direction consistent with USACE policy, to USACE districts and architect-engineer (A/E) firms. - Provides input to USACE publications, criteria, and guidance documents within area of expertise. - Develops and maintains methods and tools that support risk assessments for USACE infrastructure. - Disseminates methodology throughout USACE by applying both written and verbal communication skills. - Collaborates with HEC, ERDC, IWR, and other USACE Centers of Expertise to identify research and development needs for RMC related products. - Provides guidance and oversight related to structural engineering for the RMC. That's all. Now requirements: - US Citizenship (WHO MAY APPLY: US Citizens) - Minimum Education Requirement: Bachelor’s degree and Master of Engineering degree from an accredited institution in civil or structural engineering. - Minimum Experience Requirement: 8 years of experience in civil/structural engineering. - Must possess or obtain and maintain a valid state Driver's License in one of the 50 U.S. states or possessions to operate vehicles. - Must possess and maintain license/registration as a Professional Engineer (PE) in good standing issued by any one of the 50 states or its territories. - Temporary Duty (TDY) or business travel requirement of 30% of the time. - May be eligible for situational telework. - Direct deposit of pay is required (maybe a condition but not a requirement for qualification; still substantive). Should we include? It's a condition of employment. Could include in Requirements. - A trial or probationary period may be required (condition). - Male applicants born after December 31, 1959, are required to register for Selective Service prior to appointment (condition). - Education must be accredited by an accrediting institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (condition). - Foreign education evaluation requirement (condition). But many of these are conditions; we can include them as requirements. We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, reasonable accommodation, etc. The conditions like direct deposit, trial period, selective service are not EEO; they are specific. Should we keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Direct deposit, trial period, selective service are not boilerplate; they are specific conditions. So we can include. But we must not include application instructions (like "How to Apply:" etc). So we exclude that. We also need to include locations and announcement type etc. Where to put? Could be in About the role or a separate section like "Position Details". But we only have headings list; we could add a section "About the role" that includes overview plus maybe location, announcement type, organization. However the instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. We could add a heading like "Position Details" if we want, but better to stick to given headings. However we need to include location info; we could embed in About the role paragraph. Thus About the role paragraph could include: "This is a Direct-Hire Authority (DHA) permanent position with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Institute for Water Resources (IWR), located in Lakewood, CO; Louisville, KY; and Pittsburgh, PA. Serves as a USACE national specialist..." etc. We must preserve all substantive information; so include announcement type, position type, organization, locations. Now Responsibilities: we have list. Requirements: we need to list each requirement as
