We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: EEO, drug free workplace, disclaimer, application instructions, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie etc. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule: we have salary range $100K to $142K, and travel requirements occasional travel up to 10%, occasional overnight travel. That's schedule? Actually schedule is not given; travel is not schedule but maybe we can put under Schedule? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include Pay and Schedule if content exists. Pay: we have salary range. Schedule: we have travel requirements (occasional travel up to 10%, occasional overnight). Could be considered schedule? Might be okay. Benefits: we have benefits described. Also we have "Your total compensation will go beyond the number on your paycheck. Team members are eligible for a year-end bonus based on company and/or individual performance as well as paid time off. An industry-leading benefits package, including health, dental, and vision plans, matching retirement contributions, and matching 529 contributions all add to your bottom line." That's benefits. We need sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (education, experience maybe). Qualifications (maybe knowledge, skills, abilities). Skills (maybe separate). But we must not create thin sections. We can combine some. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including education, experience, qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Or we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including knowledge, skills, abilities), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include only those with real content. Let's see what content we have: - About the role: intro paragraph: "Do you believe no challenge is too complex to solve? You’ll fit right in at U.S. Engineering. We deliver award-winning mechanical contracting, construction, service, and maintenance solutions with a focus on performance and innovation. Our team of skilled and collaborative professionals drives every project from preconstruction through final testing, always aligned with our clients’ goals. Corporate Counsel U.S. Engineering Holdings is seeking a Corporate Counsel to join its Legal & Risk Management Department and work directly with the General Counsel. This role will provide day-to-day legal support across the company's subsidiaries, with a primary focus on contract review, corporate filings, and claims-related matters (workers' compensation and insurance). This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney early in their career who wants hands-on, high-volume exposure to construction law, risk management, and corporate practice inside a growing organization." That's substantive. - Responsibilities: list of duties: "Principal Duties And Accountabilities" bullet list: Review, draft, and redline commercial construction contracts... etc. We'll convert to
  • . - Requirements: Education and Experience: "Education: J.D. from an accredited law school; active license to practice law in Missouri (or eligibility for reciprocity/admission) Experience: 2–5 years of relevant legal experience, in a law firm, corporate legal department, or construction/insurance setting". That's requirements. - Qualifications: maybe "Knowledge, skills, and abilities:" list. That could be Qualifications. - Skills: maybe we could separate "Strong contract drafting and review skills..." but that overlaps with knowledge, skills, abilities. To avoid thin sections, we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one? But we need to follow headings; we could include Qualifications and not Skills if Skills would be thin. However we have many skill statements; they could go under Qualifications. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications (covering knowledge, skills, abilities), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 6 sections. Check if we have content for Skills separate: we have "Strong contract drafting and review skills, with attention to detailAbility to manage multiple matters independently and prioritize under deadline pressureClear, practical communication style — comfortable working directly with non-lawyer business partners (PMs, PEs, Directors)" etc. Those are skills. Could be placed under Qualifications as bullet list. Thus we will not include a separate Skills heading. Now Benefits: we have paragraph about total compensation, year-end bonus, paid time off, industry-leading benefits package including health, dental, vision, matching retirement contributions, matching 529 contributions. Pay: salary range $100K to $142K. Schedule: travel requirements: occasional travel up to 10%, occasional overnight travel may be required. We should not include boilerplate: EEO, drug free workplace, disclaimer, application instructions, etc. Also remove "To apply, please visit ..." and "Candidates must be legally authorized..." etc. Also remove "This position will be posted until September 30th 2026". Also remove "U.S. Engineering is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer..." etc. Now produce HTML fragment: use

    for each section heading. Use

    for prose. Use

    • for lists. We need to preserve all substantive information. Ensure we don't lose any details from responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule. Let's extract details precisely. About the role paragraph: We'll keep as is. Responsibilities list items: - Review, draft, and redline commercial construction contracts, subcontracts, and related agreements (AIA, Consensus Docs, and custom forms), flagging risk and negotiating terms alongside the General Counsel - Prepare, file, and maintain corporate filings and entity records across U.S. Engineering's subsidiaries - Support workers' compensation claims, including coordination with adjusters, claims tracking, and internal reporting - Assist with general liability, property, and other insurance claims, including coverage analysis and claims correspondence - Provide legal support on employment matters as needed, in coordination with HR and the General Counsel - Help track and manage project-level legal risk, including claims, change orders, and disputes on active construction projects - Assist with internal legal training materials and compliance initiatives for project teams and leadership - Perform legal research and prepare memos on contract, insurance, and construction law issues as assigned Requirements: - Education: J.D. from an accredited law school; active license to practice law in Missouri (or eligibility for reciprocity/admission) - Experience: 2–5 years of relevant legal experience, in a law firm, corporate legal department, or construction/insurance setting Qualifications (knowledge, skills, abilities): list items: - Knowledge of contract law and commercial construction contracting principles. - Knowledge of corporate governance, entity management, and regulatory filing requirements. - Knowledge of workers' compensation, general liability, and insurance claims processes. - Knowledge of employment law principles and legal compliance requirements. - Understanding of construction industry practices, project delivery methods, and risk allocation. - Knowledge of legal research methods and legal writing standards. - Strong legal drafting, contract review, and negotiation skills. - Excellent legal research, analytical, and problem-solving abilities. - Ability to identify legal and business risks and recommend practical solutions. - Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously. - Effective written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex legal concepts to non-legal audiences. - Proficiency with Microsoft 365 applications and legal document management systems. - Strong attention to detail while maintaining efficiency in a fast-paced environment. - Ability to maintain confidentiality and exercise sound professional judgment. - Ability to interpret contracts, statutes, regulations, and legal precedents. - Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams. - Ability to build trusted relationships with internal stakeholders at all organizational levels. - Ability to prioritize competing legal matters and meet deadlines in a dynamic business environment. - Ability to negotiate effectively while maintaining positive business relationships. - Ability to adapt to changing business priorities and legal requirements. - Ability to exercise discretion when handling confidential and privileged information. Benefits: - Year-end bonus based on company and/or individual performance - Paid time off - Industry-leading benefits package including health, dental, and vision plans - Matching retirement contributions - Matching 529 contributions - Total compensation goes beyond base salary (maybe we can mention that) Pay: - Salary range: $100K to $142K (good faith estimate) Schedule: - Occasional travel up to 10% to company offices, project sites, mediations, depositions, legal proceedings, or professional development events. - Occasional overnight travel may be required based on business needs. We should also mention "Primarily performs work in a professional office environment. Frequently sits for extended periods while reviewing legal documents and working at a computer. Regular use of a computer, keyboard, telephone, and other standard office equipment. Frequently communicates verbally and in writing with internal stakeholders, outside counsel, insurance carriers, and business partners. Occasionally lifts or moves materials weighing up to 20 pounds. Ability to attend meetings throughout company facilities as needed." That's physical demands; could be considered schedule? Not exactly schedule but maybe we could include under Schedule? But schedule heading is for schedule/travel. The physical demands could be omitted? It's substantive but not covered by headings. Could we add a section like "Working Conditions"? Not in allowed headings. The instruction says use those headings for section headings; but we could still include other headings? It 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? It says "Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. But we could still include other headings if needed, but risk violating. Better to stick to those. Physical demands could be placed under Schedule? Not ideal but maybe we can incorporate into Schedule as "Work environment and travel". However schedule is about time; but we could treat as "Work environment". Might be okay. Alternatively we could omit physical demands as it's not covered by headings but it's substantive. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information". So we must keep it. We need to place it somewhere. Could add a section "Working Conditions" but not in list. However the instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. To be safe, we could add a section "Working Conditions" as

      but it's not in the list; risk. Better to incorporate into Schedule or Benefits? Not appropriate. Maybe we can create a section "Requirements" and include physical demands there? Not really. We could add a section "About the role" and include physical demands there? Not. Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections, we could add a section "Working Conditions" as

      and argue it's needed to preserve substantive info. The instruction says "Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." implies those are examples, not exclusive. So we can use other headings if needed. I'll add a section "Working Conditions". That will preserve physical demands. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: EEO, drug free workplace, disclaimer, application instructions, etc. Now produce HTML. Structure:
