We need to output only HTML fragment, using for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Keep all substantive info.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: description of position: "We’re hiring a Project Engineer to work closely with the superintendent and project manager on estimating and scheduling efforts, subcontractor buy-out, and project documentation/ tracking. Project engineers understand design intent and apply the mechanics of how things come together in the field to collaborate effectively with the project team, architect, vendors, subs, suppliers, and consultants. This position is dynamic, creative, and whenever possible, site-based, to ensure projects are executed at the highest levels of quality and craftsmanship."
That's a paragraph.
- Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do As a project engineer, you’ll be responsible for supporting the entire construction project lifecycle from pre- to post-construction, including:" then list items.
We need to turn that list into

That's a paragraph.
- Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do As a project engineer, you’ll be responsible for supporting the entire construction project lifecycle from pre- to post-construction, including:" then list items.
We need to turn that list into - .
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting has "What You Need To Succeed To be successful as a Dowbuilt project engineer, you’ll need:" then bullet list: 3+ years of construction management experience, high-end residential highly preferred; Construction Management degree, or similar education plus experience; Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings and specifications; Excellent communication, team-building skills and detail follow through; Knowledge of technical construction terms and experience with both traditional and new materials; Proficient in Microsoft Outlook, Project, Excel, Word, BlueBeam; Familiarity with web-based applications such as Slack, Asana, SmartSheet, and Airtable is highly preferred; Sage 300 CRE familiarity is preferred, but not required; US Work Authorization.
We could split into Requirements (experience, education), Skills (technical proficiencies), Qualifications maybe overlapping. But we need to follow instruction: use headings only when posting has real specific content. We can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Qualifications but we can combine.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Pay section: we have base pay range $80,000 - $110,000 per year. That's substantive. So we can have Pay section.
Benefits: we have list of benefits: Competitive pay commensurate with skills and experience (but that's pay, already covered), 100% paid Medical, Dental, Vision, short-term disability and $50k in basic life insurance for full-time employees – 1st of the month following DOH; 35% Medical and 30% Dental + Vision coverage for eligible dependents; 401(k) retirement savings plan with 3% employer safe harbor contribution; 8 paid holidays each year, no waiting period; Paid Time-Off (PTO) – 2.31 hours per week to start (120 hours annually) with an increase to this accrual each January with years of service up to max 192 hours/24 days annually; Mentorship and career development opportunities; Annual discretionary bonus.
We should include Benefits section with those items as list.
Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should not create Schedule section.
We also have "Who We Are" and "How You'll Grow" sections. Those could be considered "About the company" maybe not required headings. The instruction only lists specific headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could include "About the role" (we have). "Responsibilities". "Requirements". "Skills". "Benefits". "Pay". Possibly "Qualifications" could be used for education/experience but we already have Requirements. Might combine.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Good.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points exactly as given (maybe rephrase slightly but preserve meaning). Must not drop any.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement at end, "Dowbuilt is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Who We Are" and "How You'll Grow"? Those are substantive but not under allowed headings. However instruction says we should output only HTML fragment with those headings; but we could still include other content under appropriate headings? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. It also says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". It doesn't say we cannot have other headings like "About the company". But the list is examples; we could still include other sections if we want, but better to stick to allowed headings to avoid extra. However we risk losing substantive info like "Who We Are" and "How You'll Grow". Are those considered boilerplate? They are descriptive of company culture and growth opportunities. Might be considered substantive. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could we incorporate it under "About the role" or "Benefits"? Not ideal. Perhaps we can add a section "About the company" using even though not in list; 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 exclusive. So we can add other headings as needed. But to be safe, we could incorporate "Who We Are" and "How You'll Grow" into a section like "About the company" or "Culture". That seems reasonable.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat.

Maybe we split Requirements and Skills? But we have both experience/education and technical skills. Could separate: Requirements (experience, education, work auth) and Skills (technical proficiencies). But we have also "Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings and specifications" which is skill. Could keep all under Requirements.
But we also have a separate "Skills" heading allowed. Might be better to separate: Requirements: experience, education, work auth. Skills: technical proficiencies (software, etc.). Let's do that.
