We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: At MacKay, we believe great people... We are seeking a motivated, detail-oriented, relationship-driven Civil Project Engineer (PE) to join our growing team in Chicago, IL. In this role, you’ll design and deliver land development, public works, utilities, and transportation projects from concept through bid documents and construction reviews. You’ll collaborate closely with clients, project managers, and multidisciplinary teams to produce high-quality engineering solutions that shape the communities where we live and work. You will implement technical designs, ensure adherence to engineering standards, and contribute to the development of innovative, buildable designs. You’ll also have opportunities to mentor engineers-in-training, prepare client communications, and help drive project success through your technical capabilities and problem-solving. This position is ideal for an engineer who values collaboration, continuous learning, and making a tangible impact through their work. We offer a comfortable, collaborative work environment with flexible work arrangements. We’re serious about our work – but we’re serious about fun, too. This is a hybrid role based in our downtown Chicago office, which is conveniently located and easily accessible via public transit. The office features several gathering spaces, a workout space, a cafe, and a food truck, with lobby events geared toward mingling and networking. If that sounds good to you, let’s talk. Then "Keys To Success" bullet list: Provide design and technical delivery of a variety of civil engineering projects, primarily focused on Public Transportation; Communicate with clients regarding current projects, scope, and schedules.; Prepare engineering calculations and analysis reports to support design decisions.; Ensure project timelines and deliverables are met in collaboration with the project team.; Coordinate with internal teams, clients, and local agencies to ensure project requirements are met.; Review and interpret survey reports, maps, and as-built drawings.; Prepare technical reports and cost estimates.; Stay current with industry standards, best practices, and regulatory requirements. Then "Minimum Qualifications": Registered PE in the state of Illinois; Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or related discipline; 4-7 years of experience in public transportation design; Experience in roadway, stormwater, and sanitary sewer design, grading plans, and maintenance of traffic in northeast Illinois; Aptitude and demonstrated hands-on experience with computer applications in Civil Engineering in Bentley OpenRoads Designer/AutoCAD Civil 3D, required.; Excellent computer, writing, communication, and customer service skills; Experience mentoring engineers-in-training and drafting technicians. Then "Why Join MacKay?" with subpoints: A people-first culture; Meaningful work and real impact; Growth and opportunity; A strong and trusted foundation; Opportunities to share in success; Our Values (list: Honesty, Dedication, Relationships); Who We Are (some description). Then later: Please note that the salary information shown below is a general guideline only. Salaries are based upon candidate experience and qualifications, as well as various market and business considerations. US Pay Range: $105,000 USD - $130,000 USD Full-time employees receive a well-rounded benefit package including access to our company-sponsored Medical (including an HSA High Deductible option), Dental, Vision, FSA, and Supplemental Life Insurance plans. We also offer 100% company-paid Life Insurance, Short-Term Disability, and Long-Term Disability coverage. Employees are eligible to participate in our company's 401(k) plan with up to a 4% match. Additionally, employees receive paid vacation and sick time, 11 paid holidays, and are able to participate in employee ownership options. MacKay pays for expenses associated with licensure as well as annual performance bonuses. Employment requires passing a pre-employment background check and drug screen. As a federal contractor, we participate in E-Verify and are proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer. Open until filled. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, E-Verify, background check, drug screen maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove lines about EEO, E-Verify, background check, drug screen, "Open until filled." Also maybe "Please note that the salary information shown below is a general guideline only." That's not boilerplate but it's a note about salary; we can keep it? It's not duplicated. It's okay. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for: - About the role: The initial paragraph describing role, responsibilities, environment, hybrid, office features. Could be "About the role" or maybe "Responsibilities". We have separate "Keys To Success" which is essentially responsibilities/duties. So we could have sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (Keys To Success), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? But we can combine). The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple sections. We need to decide what goes where. - About the role: general description of role, team, location, work environment, hybrid, office amenities. - Responsibilities: the "Keys To Success" bullet list. - Requirements: maybe the "Minimum Qualifications" bullet list. - Qualifications: maybe we could split into "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications"? But we only have minimum qualifications. Could treat "Requirements" as the qualifications. But we need both Requirements and Qualifications sections if we have distinct content. The posting includes "Minimum Qualifications" which are requirements. There's also maybe "Skills" implied: Excellent computer, writing, communication, and customer service skills; Experience mentoring engineers-in-training and drafting technicians; Aptitude with Bentley OpenRoads Designer/AutoCAD Civil 3D. Those could go under Skills. - Benefits: The benefit package description. - Pay: US Pay Range. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned besides hybrid role; maybe we can infer schedule? Not given. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state schedule specifics, so omit. - Also we have "Why Join MacKay?" which includes culture, values, etc. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the company". But headings list does not include "About the company". Could we put under "About the role"? Might be okay to include as part of About the role or maybe as a separate section like "About MacKay". But not in allowed headings list. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples, but we should likely stick to those headings. It says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should use those headings only. So we need to map content to those headings. Thus we need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Possibly Schedule omitted. We must not create empty sections. Now decide allocation: About the role: introductory paragraph about role, team, location, hybrid, office features, work environment, fun, etc. Responsibilities: Keys To Success bullet list. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications bullet list (maybe also include "Registered PE in the state of Illinois", "Bachelor's degree", "4-7 years experience", etc.) Qualifications: Could be same as Requirements? But we need distinct content. Perhaps we can treat "Qualifications" as the educational/licensure requirements, and "Requirements" as experience/skills? But the instruction says we can use those headings as examples; we can decide. Better: Use Requirements for the minimum qualifications (including licensure, degree, years experience). Use Qualifications for the specific technical experience (roadway, stormwater, sanitary sewer design, grading plans, maintenance of traffic, Bentley/OpenRoads, AutoCAD Civil 3D). Use Skills for the soft skills: excellent computer, writing, communication, customer service skills; experience mentoring engineers-in-training and drafting technicians. But we need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's extract: Minimum Qualifications list: - Registered PE in the state of Illinois - Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or related discipline - 4-7 years of experience in public transportation design - Experience in roadway, stormwater, and sanitary sewer design, grading plans, and maintenance of traffic in northeast Illinois - Aptitude and demonstrated hands-on experience with computer applications in Civil Engineering in Bentley OpenRoads Designer/AutoCAD Civil 3D, required. - Excellent computer, writing, communication, and customer service skills - Experience mentoring engineers-in-training and drafting technicians We could split: Requirements: Registered PE in Illinois; Bachelor's degree; 4-7 years experience in public transportation design. Qualifications: Experience in roadway, stormwater, sanitary sewer design, grading plans, maintenance of traffic in northeast Illinois; Aptitude with Bentley OpenRoads Designer/AutoCAD Civil 3D. Skills: Excellent computer, writing, communication, customer service skills; Experience mentoring engineers-in-training and drafting technicians. That seems reasonable. Now Benefits: The paragraph about benefit package. Pay: US Pay Range: $105,000 - $130,000 USD. Also note about salary being guideline; we can keep that as a paragraph within Pay section maybe. Now About the role: Let's craft a paragraph summarizing the initial description. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like: designing and delivering land development, public works, utilities, transportation projects from concept through bid documents and construction reviews; collaborating with clients, project managers, multidisciplinary teams; implementing technical designs, ensuring adherence to engineering standards, contributing to innovative, buildable designs; opportunities to mentor engineers-in-training, prepare client communications, help drive project success; ideal for engineer who values collaboration, continuous learning, making tangible impact; comfortable, collaborative work environment with flexible work arrangements; serious about work and fun; hybrid role based in downtown Chicago office, conveniently located, accessible via public transit; office features gathering spaces, workout space, cafe, food truck, lobby events for mingling/networking. We should keep that as prose in

under About the role. Now Responsibilities: Use

  • for the Keys To Success list. Now Requirements:
    • for the three items. Qualifications:
      • for the two items. Skills:
        • for the two items. Benefits:
          • for each benefit item? The paragraph lists many benefits; we could break into list items: Medical (including HSA High Deductible option), Dental, Vision, FSA, Supplemental Life Insurance; 100% company-paid Life Insurance; Short-Term Disability; Long-Term Disability; 401(k) plan with up to 4% match; paid vacation and sick time; 11 paid holidays; employee ownership options; expenses associated with licensure; annual performance bonuses. We should preserve all details. Pay:

            with the salary range and note about guideline. Now we must not include boilerplate: EEO, E-Verify, background check, drug screen, Open until filled. Also remove duplicated lines (none). Also remove "Please note that the salary information shown below is a general guideline only." That's not boilerplate but it's a note about salary; we can keep it as part of Pay
