Civil Transportation Engineering Technical Director

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Summary/Objective, Essential Functions, Education/Experience, Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities, Physical Requirements, About TERRA Engineering (company description), Benefits (Competitive compensation packages...), maybe Pay? There's a line: "In accordance with local law, the estimated salary range is applicable to the position and location associated with this posting. Compensation will vary based upon experience, education, skill level, geographical location, and other compensable factors." This is vague, not a specific range, so we should NOT create Pay section because no specific numbers. Benefits: they list compensation packages including bonus program, paid holidays and paid time off, comprehensive healthcare benefits, retirement plan options..., hybrid/flexible work arrangements, public transportation reimbursement, warm culture, etc. That's specific benefits, so we can include Benefits section with list. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly; maybe hybrid/flexible work arrangements could be schedule but not explicit. Better not create Schedule unless explicit. We need headings: About the role (maybe from Summary/Objective?), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Education/Experience + Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities?), Qualifications maybe combine? But we should follow instruction: use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections with real content. We have Summary/Objective: could be About the role. Essential Functions: Responsibilities. Education/Experience: Requirements (or Qualifications). Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: Skills. Physical Requirements: maybe not a standard heading; could be omitted or included under Requirements? But we could create a section Physical Requirements if we want, but not in list of allowed headings? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect those headings only. So we should map content to those headings. Thus: - About the role: Summary/Objective paragraph. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions list (bullet points). Use

• . - Requirements: Education/Experience (maybe also Physical Requirements? but we can include physical under Requirements? Might be better to keep Requirements as Education/Experience only, and maybe add a separate Qualifications? But we have Skills heading for Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. - Qualifications: maybe we could include PE required etc? That's already in Education/Experience. Could combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's decide: About the role: summary. Responsibilities: essential functions. Requirements: Education/Experience + Physical Requirements? Might be okay. Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. Benefits: from TERRA Provides Competitive compensation packages... We should not include Pay because no specific range. Schedule: not present. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all bullet points from Essential Functions, all details from Education/Experience, Knowledge, Skills..., Physical Requirements, Benefits. We need to format as HTML fragment, no /. Use

  for each section heading. Use

  for prose. Use

  • for lists. We must not repeat job title as heading (not given). No Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes a lot of EEO statements at the end; we need to remove those. Also the "Notice to Third Party Agencies" etc. Also the "This job description is not designed to cover..." maybe considered boilerplate? It's a disclaimer; might be considered boilerplate; but it's substantive? It's a generic statement; maybe we should remove as it's boilerplate. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The disclaimer about job description not comprehensive maybe legal; could be removed. Also the sponsorship note "Please note that sponsorship is not available now or in the future for this position." That's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered a requirement? It's a restriction; maybe keep? It's not EEO; it's about sponsorship. Might be considered relevant. But we can keep if not boilerplate. However it's a line about sponsorship not available; could be considered a requirement. I'd keep it under Requirements maybe. Also the "About TERRA Engineering" section is company description; we could include as part of About the role? Or maybe separate? But we have only allowed headings; we could incorporate into About the role as additional paragraph. But we must not create sections with filler. So we will include About the role (summary + company description). Responsibilities (essential functions). Requirements (education/experience, physical requirements, sponsorship note). Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities). Benefits (list). No Pay, Schedule. Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: we must not lose any details from Essential Functions, Education/Experience, Knowledge..., Physical Requirements, Benefits. Let's extract them. Summary/Objective paragraph: "Serves as technical advisor to the department and multi-disciplinary project teams. Directs and supports the department’s technical operations using advanced and diversified knowledge of engineering principles and practices. Exercises independent initiative and judgement in setting and implementing engineering standards and supports all aspects of a range of projects varying in size and complexity. Leads and supervises design coordination for the team, department, disciplines, and agencies to meet requirements. Oversees Quality Control/Quality Assurance practices and actively contributes to developing and executing business and operational strategies for the department." That's one paragraph. Essential Functions list (each bullet starts with a verb). Let's list them: - Contribute to project proposals, client interview preparation, and stakeholder presentations for large, multi-disciplinary and complex projects; lead presentation of TERRA work at conferences and industry events - Assist the department director in leading business development and other strategic growth efforts; actively participate in industry, networking, and professional organizations events and activities - Provide input to establish project team and staffing requirements consistent with contractual obligations - Provide guidance to staff on unusual or complex technical solutions to deliver the design through documentation and detailing - Develop design concepts, studies, design options, and establish design criteria - Perform complex analysis and design calculations, document design procedures, and assure design complies with applicable codes and standards - Conduct Quality Control/Quality Assurance reviews and enforce guidelines - Approve and certify deliverables as the Engineer of Record - Provide engineering leadership on large, multi-disciplinary projects, while also overseeing and providing guidance on multiple medium-scale projects as needed - Assist in resolving project budget or cost constraints with technical objectives - Work with project managers to resolve project performance issues - Provide support in resolving technical construction administration issues - Author project descriptions and resumes to be incorporated into marketing materials - Develop and maintain trusted relationships with team members, multidisciplinary team members, vendors, and authorities having jurisdiction - Actively share knowledge, displaying open and timely exchange of significant ideas and information - Create and enforce the application of TERRA standards and guidelines - Mentor staff in technical matters and participate in performance reviews as requested - Participate in the recruitment, interviewing, and candidate selection process - Provide input on the technical growth strategy of the department - Perform other duties as required Education/Experience: "B.S. engineering or related field (ABET/EAC-accredited program) 15+ years of applicable engineering experience PE required (SE required for Structural) Additional credentials preferred (e.g., CFM, CPESC, ENV SP, LEED AP, etc.)" Also sponsorship note: "Please note that sponsorship is not available now or in the future for this position."

Also there is line: "In accordance with local law, the estimated salary range is applicable to the position and location associated with this posting. Compensation will vary based upon experience, education, skill level, geographical location, and other compensable factors." This is vague; we should not create Pay section. Now we need to format. We'll produce:
