We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No filler like "commensurate with experience". We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "Bolton & Menk is now accepting applications for our 2027 summer internship season. As a Top Workplace, this is a fantastic chance to work with a talented team of professionals and make a lasting impact on the communities we serve. With over 75 years of experience, Bolton & Menk specializes in providing community infrastructure solutions across the Midwest, Southeast, and beyond. As a Civil Engineering Intern, you'll gain real-world experience supporting municipal infrastructure projects while working alongside engineers, project managers, and construction professionals. You'll spend much of your summer in the field assisting with construction phase activities for transportation projects while also building technical and professional skills that will prepare you for a successful engineering career. This internship opportunity is for our Municipal service group during the 2027 Summer season." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll put that as

About the role

then

with that content. Next: "What You Will Be Doing Assist on civil engineering projects with tasks involving civil engineering, planning and design.Assists with the preparation of reports, of plans, specifications, and cost estimates.Assists with construction observation, performing construction staking, performing construction administration dutiesSome internship opportunities may also include working on various reports, completing design calculations, writing specifications, and reviewing shop drawings." We need to format as list of duties. Use

  • . Ensure we capture each bullet. The text is a bit run-on; we can split into logical items: - Assist on civil engineering projects with tasks involving civil engineering, planning and design. - Assist with the preparation of reports, plans, specifications, and cost estimates. - Assist with construction observation, performing construction staking, performing construction administration duties. - Some internship opportunities may also include working on various reports, completing design calculations, writing specifications, and reviewing shop drawings. We'll put under

    Responsibilities

    . Next: "What We Are Looking For Degree Programs: Selected candidates will be enrolled in a Civil Engineering degree program or closely related program from an accredited post-secondary institution.Minimum Cumulative GPA: 2.8 GPA; Desired GPA 3.2 or aboveCurrent Status: Desired is Sophomore or above with completed coursework in general surveying and AutoCAD drafting.Students must have the ability to work in extended outdoor conditions and be physically capable of navigating rugged terrain for the purpose of performing the construction observation duties.Students must possess a valid driver’s license and their own transportation or have ability to use public transportation. You will be reimbursed for business-related travel. Each year we look for variety of experience, education, and ability for our student intern pool. Some positions may be filled with students who have experience depending on the level of complexity a project or client may require. Preference may be given to students who have completed a previous internship with Bolton & Menk. Relocation and housing are not included. Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis, part-time basis or internship for any employer without restriction. Bolton & Menk does not provide visa sponsorship or immigration support for this position." We need to separate into sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills maybe. The posting lumps many items. We need to decide what goes where. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections with real specific content. We have: - Requirements: maybe degree program, GPA, current status (sophomore or above, completed coursework), ability to work outdoors, driver's license, transportation, work authorization, no visa sponsorship. - Qualifications: maybe previous internship preference, variety of experience, education, ability. - Skills: maybe AutoCAD drafting, general surveying, technical skills? Not explicitly listed as skills but we could infer. - Benefits: reimbursement for business-related travel. Also maybe "Top Workplace" but that's not a benefit. No explicit benefits like health, etc. So we can include Benefits section with reimbursement for business-related travel. - Pay: Not mentioned. So we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned (summer internship 2027). Could infer summer season but not explicit schedule details. The posting says "2027 summer internship season". That's a timeframe but not schedule like hours per week. We should not create Schedule unless specific content. So omit. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must preserve all substantive info. Let's extract each piece. From "What We Are Looking For": - Degree Programs: Selected candidates will be enrolled in a Civil Engineering degree program or closely related program from an accredited post-secondary institution. - Minimum Cumulative GPA: 2.8 GPA; Desired GPA 3.2 or above - Current Status: Desired is Sophomore or above with completed coursework in general surveying and AutoCAD drafting. - Students must have the ability to work in extended outdoor conditions and be physically capable of navigating rugged terrain for the purpose of performing the construction observation duties. - Students must possess a valid driver’s license and their own transportation or have ability to use public transportation. You will be reimbursed for business-related travel. - Each year we look for variety of experience, education, and ability for our student intern pool. - Some positions may be filled with students who have experience depending on the level of complexity a project or client may require. - Preference may be given to students who have completed a previous internship with Bolton & Menk. - Relocation and housing are not included. - Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis, part-time basis or internship for any employer without restriction. - Bolton & Menk does not provide visa sponsorship or immigration support for this position. Now we need to map to sections. Potential sections: - Requirements: degree program, GPA, current status (sophomore+, coursework), ability to work outdoors, driver's license/transportation, work authorization, no visa sponsorship. - Qualifications: variety of experience, education, ability; preference for previous internship; maybe also "Each year we look for variety of experience, education, and ability" could be qualification. - Skills: general surveying, AutoCAD drafting (these are skills). Also maybe technical skills. - Benefits: reimbursement for business-related travel. Also maybe "Top Workplace" but not a benefit; we can omit. - Relocation and housing not included: that's a note about what is not provided; could be under Benefits as a note that relocation/housing not provided. But we should not invent. We could include under Benefits: "Relocation and housing are not provided." That's substantive. Let's decide. We'll create:

    About the role

    with paragraph.

    Responsibilities

    with ul.

    Requirements

    with ul: degree program, GPA, current status (sophomore+, completed coursework in general surveying and AutoCAD drafting), ability to work outdoors/rugged terrain, valid driver's license and transportation (or public transit), work authorization in US (no visa sponsorship). We could also include "Must be currently authorized to work in the United States..." as requirement.

    Qualifications

    with ul: preference for previous internship with Bolton & Menk, looking for variety of experience, education, and ability; some positions may be filled based on experience/complexity.

    Skills

    with ul: general surveying, AutoCAD drafting (coursework), technical and professional skills (maybe from earlier). But we need to avoid filler. We can list: general surveying, AutoCAD drafting. Alternatively we could combine skills into Requirements. But we need to follow instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could we merge Qualifications and Skills into Requirements? But we have distinct content. However we could make only Requirements and Responsibilities and About the role, and maybe Benefits. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should avoid creating many sections with little content. Let's see how much content each would have. If we make Requirements with many items, that's substantive. Qualifications might be thin (just a couple items). Skills might be thin (just two). Benefits maybe one item (reimbursement). Could we combine Qualifications and Skills into Requirements? Possibly but they are distinct concepts. However we could treat "Qualifications" as part of Requirements; but the instruction says use headings for those categories if they exist. If we think they are thin, we could omit them and incorporate their content into Requirements or About the role. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can incorporate them elsewhere. Let's see if we can incorporate "Preference may be given to students who have completed a previous internship with Bolton & Menk." into Requirements as a bullet: "Preference given to candidates with prior internship at Bolton & Menk." "Each year we look for variety of experience, education, and ability for our student intern pool." Could be a note under Requirements: "We seek a variety of experience, education, and ability." "Some positions may be filled with students who have experience depending on the level of complexity a project or client may require." Could be under Requirements: "Positions may be filled based on experience and project complexity." Thus we can incorporate those into Requirements. Skills: general surveying and AutoCAD drafting are already mentioned under Current Status as completed coursework. Could be listed as skills. Could we incorporate them into Requirements as "Completed coursework in general surveying and AutoCAD drafting." Already there. Thus we may not need separate Qualifications or Skills sections. Benefits: reimbursement for business-related travel. Also note that relocation and housing are not included (that's a lack of benefit). Could we include Benefits section with bullet: "Reimbursement for business-related travel." And maybe note "Relocation and housing are not provided." That's still a benefit-related note. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. Check if any Pay or Schedule info: none. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove those paragraphs at end: "We thank all applicants..." etc. Also remove the link to about-us? The link is part of "Why Bolton & Menk?" section. That section includes some description about company history, employees, locations. That's substantive? It's about the company. Could be considered "About the company" but not requested headings. We have only About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. The "Why Bolton & Menk?" section includes company overview, history, employee count, locations, communities served. That's substantive but not fitting into our headings. Should we include it? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we must keep that info somewhere. We could incorporate it into About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the company". But allowed headings list includes only those specific ones. However we could add a section like "About the company" if we think it's substantive, but the instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not an exhaustive list? It says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for those sections if they exist. It doesn't forbid other headings, but likely they expect only those. However to preserve all substantive info, we could add a section "About the company" but
