We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for section headings 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 posting. The posting includes: - Intro: "Grow with us... Life at Starwood Hotels..." repeated. This is about company culture. Could be "About the role"? Actually it's about company. Might be "About Us" but not a required heading. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can also include other headings? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but we can use other headings? Probably we should stick to those. But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. The posting includes responsibilities (the role description), qualifications (Required Qualifications & Experience), maybe skills (Preferred Professional Engineer etc). Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. Schedule? Not mentioned. About the role? Could be the introductory paragraph describing the role. Could treat that as About the role. Thus we can have sections: - About the role: includes description of role, reporting, portfolio, etc. - Responsibilities: maybe list of duties: oversee engineering operations, capital planning, standardizing processes, resolving escalations, mentoring regional leaders, establishing portfolio-wide engineering framework, partnering with various functions, providing technical leadership for CAPEX planning, major renovations, preventive maintenance, utility performance, regulatory compliance, building-system reliability, managing projects in occupied hotels minimizing disruption. - Requirements: maybe the Required Qualifications & Experience list. - Qualifications: maybe the Preferred Professional Engineer etc? Actually those are "Preferred". Could be Skills? Or we could treat them as Skills. The instruction includes Skills as a possible heading. So we could put preferred credentials under Skills. - Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At end there is EEO statement; we should drop that. Also duplicate intro lines: "Grow with us... Life at Starwood Hotels is based on a simple idea..." appears twice; we should keep only once? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should keep only one occurrence. Also "Our Company 1 Hotels invites guests..." etc. That's about brands; could be part of About the role? Might be considered company description. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like About Us but not allowed. Could incorporate into About the role as context. We need to preserve all substantive information: so we need to include details about brands, purpose, mission, etc. Might be better to put under "About the role" or maybe a separate heading like "About Us" but not in allowed list. However instruction says 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

for section headings (e.g. ...)". Likely they expect us to use those headings only. But we can also include other headings if needed? Safer to stick to those. Thus we need to fit all info into those sections. Let's extract: About the role: Should include role title, reporting, purpose, portfolio, etc. Also include company description maybe. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: Required Qualifications & Experience (the bullet list). Could be a list. Qualifications: maybe the "Preferred Professional Engineer..." etc. Could be considered Skills? Actually they are preferred credentials, could be Skills. Skills: maybe the preferred credentials and experience with multiple brands, acquisitions, etc. Could be placed under Skills. But we have both Qualifications and Skills headings allowed. We could put required qualifications under Requirements, and preferred qualifications under Skills. Or we could put required under Qualifications and preferred under Skills. The instruction: Use headings as examples; we can decide. Better: Requirements = Required Qualifications & Experience. Skills = Preferred credentials and additional experience (like experience with multiple luxury brands, acquisitions, etc). Qualifications maybe not needed if we already have Requirements. But we could also have Qualifications for education requirement? However the required qualifications includes education. So we can put all required under Requirements. Thus:

We must not include empty sections. Now we need to extract precise sentences without adding or omitting. Let's parse the posting text. Full text (deduplicated): "Grow with us... Life at Starwood Hotels is based on a simple idea: the world is beautiful and we want to keep it that way. But we can’t do it alone. That’s why hiring thoughtful and inspiring Team Members and Leaders who understand that our people, collaboration, stellar service, and respect for nature are so important to us. Our Company 1 Hotels invites guests to live in rhythm with nature—offering spaces that restore, inspire, and come alive from day to night, where sustainability, wellness, and social energy exist in thoughtful balance. Treehouse Hotels brings back the wonder of childhood hideaways—cozy, curious, and just a little mischievous. It’s a place to play, dream, and drift off the script, where handcrafted details and nostalgic touches turn every stay into a story. Baccarat Hotels carries forward a 250-year legacy and the spirit of l’art de vivre—the French art of celebrating life—with beauty, ritual, and moments of delight. Recognized as one of Newsweek’s Global Most Loved Workplaces for 2026, Starwood Hotels fosters a culture where creativity thrives, collaboration is second nature, and people are valued for who they are and what they bring. If you’re ready to bring your whole self to a team where thoughtful work leaves a lasting mark—you belong here. Starwood Hotels is seeking an exceptional Corporate Director, Engineering, to lead engineering operations and capital planning across the company’s portfolio of operating luxury and lifestyle hotels. This senior leadership role sits at the intersection of asset stewardship, hotel operations, capital investment, building systems, sustainability, and guest experience — responsible for ensuring that each property is safe, resilient, efficient, well maintained, and positioned to protect long-term asset value. Reporting directly to SVP, Operations, the Corporate Director of Engineering, will oversee a global portfolio of 1 Hotels, Baccarat Hotels and Treehouse Hotels. As the company's project portfolio grows across multiple continents, this role will be pivotal in standardizing processes, resolving escalations and mentoring regional leaders. The Corporate Director of Engineering will establish the portfolio-wide engineering framework for operating hotels while partnering closely with property General Managers, Directors of Engineering, ownership groups, Finance, Operations, Design & Construction, Sustainability, IT, Security, and other corporate functions. The role will provide technical leadership for annual and multi-year CAPEX planning, major renovations and infrastructure replacements, preventive maintenance, utility performance, regulatory compliance, and critical building-system reliability." Then "Required Qualifications & Experience" bullet list: - Minimum 15 years of progressive engineering, facilities, asset management, or technical operations experience, with substantial leadership responsibility in luxury or upper-upscale hospitality. - Demonstrated experience overseeing engineering operations and capital programs across multiple operating hotels or similarly complex, 24/7 assets. - Deep working knowledge of central HVAC plants, controls/BMS, electrical distribution, emergency power, plumbing and domestic hot water, vertical transportation, fire/life safety, building envelope, kitchens, laundry, pools/spas, and other hotel building systems. - Proven ability to develop and prioritize multi-year CAPEX plans, evaluate asset conditions, build business cases, manage project budgets, and communicate investment recommendations to senior leadership and ownership groups. - Strong understanding of preventive/predictive maintenance, commissioning, equipment lifecycle planning, utility management, and root-cause failure analysis. - Experience managing projects in occupied hotels while minimizing disruption to guests, hotel operations, revenue, and brand experience. - Strong commercial judgment, executive communication skills, and ability to navigate owner, operator, vendor, and property leadership relationships. - Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, Electrical, Facilities, or another relevant Engineering discipline, or equivalent combination of technical education and significant hospitality engineering leadership experience. - Ability to travel regularly to operating hotels and respond to critical portfolio issues when required. Then "Preferred Professional Engineer (PE), Certified Energy Manager (CEM), LEED AP, Certified Facility Manager (CFM), or comparable technical credential.

Experience with hotel acquisitions, property-condition assessments, conversions, major renovations, and post-opening stabilization. Working knowledge of ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, energy-management platforms, BMS/BAS platforms, and capital planning tools. International or multi-regional hotel engineering experience." Then "About Us..." section: mission-driven company purpose etc. Then "Founded in 2006 by Barry Sternlicht, Starwood Hotels is a luxury hotel brand management company and affiliate of global private investment firm Starwood Capital Group." Then EEO statement. We need to remove EEO and any boilerplate. Thus we will include the "About Us..." content maybe under About the role? It describes mission, purpose, founded etc. Could be included. Thus About the role paragraph could combine the initial motivational paragraph, company description, brands, mission, and the role description. We must not repeat duplicated lines. The initial paragraph appears twice; we keep one. Now craft HTML. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: include all details from the posting. Let's compile About the role content: - Motivational: "Grow with us... Life at Starwood Hotels is based on a simple idea: the world is beautiful and we want to keep it that way. But we can’t do it alone. That’s why hiring thoughtful and inspiring Team Members and Leaders who understand that our people, collaboration, stellar service, and respect for nature are so important to us." - Company description: "Our Company 1 Hotels invites guests to live in rhythm with nature—offering spaces that restore, inspire, and come alive from day to night, where sustainability, wellness, and social energy exist in thoughtful balance.
