Co-op Civil Engineer: Traffic - Spring 2027
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the job posting.
Key content:
- Intro paragraph: "What We're Looking For At HNTB, you can create a career..." etc. This is about the role. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the role" heading.
- Specific tasks performed by traffic engineers: list of tasks.
- "What You’ll Do": list of duties.
- "What You’ll Need": requirements: High School Diploma/GED or equivalent plus current enrollment in an accredited post-secondary engineering program.
- "What You’ll Bring": skills/abilities.
- "What We Prefer": preferences.
- Additional info: location Boston, MA; relocation/housing not provided; pay range $25.28 - $37.92 (Massachusetts). So we have Pay section.
- Benefits: link to benefits information: "Click here for benefits information: HNTB Total Rewards". That's a benefits mention; we can include Benefits section with that link.
- Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly; maybe full-time co-op. It says "Job Type: Co-Op Full/Part Time: Full time". So schedule: Full time. Could include Schedule section.
- No explicit Benefits details beyond link; but we can still include Benefits with that link.
- No explicit "Qualifications" separate from Requirements? Could combine.
We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO, visa sponsorship, etc. Remove duplicated lines, navigation, legal, etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the specifics: tasks list, duties list, requirements, bring, prefer, location, relocation note, pay range, benefits link, schedule (full time). Also maybe mention that it's based out of Boston, MA office.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We should not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We should not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay range is given, so we can include Pay section.
Schedule: we have "Full time". That's specific enough.
Benefits: we have a link to benefits information; we can include that.
Now structure:
Maybe sections:
- About the role (intro paragraph)
- Responsibilities (maybe combine specific tasks and What You’ll Do)
- Requirements (What You’ll Need)
- Qualifications (maybe What You’ll Bring? Actually "What You’ll Bring" is skills/abilities; could be Skills)
- Skills (What You Bring)
- Preferences (What We Prefer)
- Pay
- Benefits
- Schedule
- Location (maybe not a standard heading; but we could include location in About the role or as a separate section? Not in list of allowed headings; but we could put location in About the role paragraph.
We must only use headings from the list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we cannot add Location heading. We'll incorporate location into About the role or Responsibilities.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Let's extract content.
Intro paragraph: "What We're Looking For At HNTB, you can create a career that is meaningful to you while building communities that matter to all of us. For more than a century, we have been delivering solutions for some of the largest, most complex infrastructure projects across the country. With our historic growth, it is an exciting time to join our team of employee-owners. This opportunity entails being responsible for assisting assigned department(s) and/or project(s) by performing basic engineering related tasks which may reflect elements of standard post-secondary engineering curriculum. As a Co-op in our Traffic Engineering group, you will play a vital role in analyzing, designing, and optimizing transportation systems. You will work closely with mid and senior traffic engineers and a multidisciplinary team to develop innovative solutions that enhance traffic flow, promote safety, and improve the overall performance of transportation networks. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated co-op to launch their career and make a meaningful impact in the field of traffic engineering."
That's prose; we can put under About the role.
Specific tasks performed by traffic engineers: list:
- Support the optimization of traffic signal systems, including signal timing and phasing, signal coordination, transit signal priority and adaptive traffic control systems.
- Collaborate with engineers to conduct traffic flow analysis, capacity analysis, and simulation modeling using software such as VISSIM, SYNCHRO, Sidra or HCS.
- Contribute to the development of transportation management plans, focusing on improving traffic operations and reducing congestion during construction or special events.
- Assist in the design of traffic elements of roadways, such as intersections, traffic signal layouts, pavement markings and signage
- Participate in the collection of traffic data, including traffic volume counts, travel time studies, traffic signal inventories, traffic observations and speed studies.
- Assist in the preparation of technical reports, drawings, and presentations summarizing findings, recommendations, and project deliverables.
That's a list; we can put under Responsibilities.
What You’ll Do list:
- Assists engineer teams in various tasks and duties.
- Assists Engineer with research, development and design of projects.
- Assists Engineer with the preparation of engineering drawings and documents as assigned.
- Performs other duties as assigned.
That's also duties; could be merged with Responsibilities or separate. But we should not duplicate. We could combine both lists under Responsibilities. However we need to preserve all info; merging is fine as long as we keep all items. We'll combine them into one Responsibilities list.
What You’ll Need: "High School Diploma/GED or equivalent plus current enrollment in an accredited post-secondary engineering program". That's requirement.
What You’ll Bring list:
- Understands engineering, geometric, and algebraic principles at a basic level.
- Shows proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite.
- Accepts and applies direction from peers and supervisors.
- Obtains an understanding of introductory shop drawing and submittal procedures and requirements.
- Ability to perform basic engineering calculations
- Ability to organize information for use in drawings or other documents
That's skills.
What We Prefer list:
- Completion of 2 years of post-secondary Civil Engineering program
- AutoCAD and/or MicroStation experience
- Strong interest in transportation and infrastructure
That's preferences; could be under Qualifications or Skills? The heading Qualifications is for qualifications; we could put "What You’ll Need" under Requirements, "What You’ll Bring" under Skills, and "What We Prefer" under Qualifications (or maybe also Skills). But we have both Qualifications and Skills headings allowed. Let's assign:
- Requirements: What You’ll Need (education)
- Qualifications: What We Prefer (preferred qualifications)
- Skills: What You’ll Bring (skills/abilities)
That seems logical.
Pay: approximate pay range for Massachusetts is $25.28 - $37.92.
Benefits: "Click here for benefits information: HNTB Total Rewards". We'll make a link.
Schedule: "Job Type: Co-Op Full/Part Time: Full time". So schedule: Full time.
Also note relocation and housing are NOT provided. Could be included in About the role or Responsibilities? Probably in About the role as a note.
We need to avoid boilerplate: remove EEO, visa sponsorship, etc.
Now produce HTML.

We need to ensure we don't add any extra headings.
We need to include the location Boston, MA somewhere. Could add to About the role paragraph: "This position is based out of our Boston, MA office. Relocation and housing are NOT provided for these positions."
We must preserve that.
Now check for any other substantive info: "Click here for benefits information: HNTB Total Rewards" we need to keep that; we can make a link but we don't have actual URL; we can just use placeholder? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot invent URLs. We could keep the text as is: "Click here for benefits information: HNTB Total Rewards". That's substantive. We can wrap in and maybe make the phrase a link with href="#"? That would be inventing a link. Better to keep as plain text. So just

.
Now check for any duplicated lines: we removed boilerplate.
Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "What You’ll Do" list we included. The "Specific Tasks Performed By Our Traffic Engineers" list we included. The "What You’ll Need". The "What You’ll Bring". The "What We Prefer". The location and relocation note. Pay range. Benefits link. Schedule full time.
Also note "Job Type: Co-Op Full/Part Time: Full time" we used schedule.
Now ensure we didn't include any heading like "About the role" duplicated? Only once.
Now output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft the About the role paragraph:
Combine intro and location/relocation.
Paragraph: "What We're Looking For At HNTB, you can create a career that is meaningful to you while building communities that matter to all of us.

Make sure to keep the original wording exactly? We can keep as is.
Now Responsibilities list: combine both lists.
Let's list items:
- Support the optimization of traffic signal systems, including signal timing and phasing, signal coordination, transit signal priority and adaptive traffic control systems.
- Collaborate with engineers to conduct traffic flow analysis, capacity analysis, and simulation modeling using software
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

Not in list of allowed headings; but we could put location in About the role paragraph. We must only use headings from the list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we cannot add Location heading. We'll incorporate location into About the role or Responsibilities. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's extract content.
