Design Manager
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have responsibilities list, requirements/qualifications (Bachelor degree, 10 years experience, etc.), benefits (health and welfare benefits description), pay (base salary range). No schedule info. So we should have sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications?), Benefits, Pay. The instruction says we can use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to use. The posting includes "Here's what you'll need" which is requirements/qualifications. Could combine as Requirements. Also there is "Ideally, you'll have" which could be preferred qualifications but not required. We could include under Requirements or maybe Skills. But better to have Requirements (mandatory) and maybe Skills (preferred). However we should avoid thin sections. Could combine into one Requirements section covering both mandatory and preferred. Let's see content: "Here's what you'll need Bachelor degree in Architecture, and Engineering discipline, or Construction Management Minimum 10 years of experience working in the architecture or planning industry.Self-starter, with past experience as a project architect preferred.Strong knowledge of all phases of project development from conceptual design through construction administration.Attention to detail, with depth of understanding of contract document coordination and technical aspects of project development.Strong management skills, with ability to oversee simultaneous projects in a fast-paced environment.Good communication skills necessary to lead consultants, facilitate discussions with client stakeholders, interface with PMO team and keep supervisors and up to date Ideally, you'll have Experience with educational facility design An Architectural license #EastPMCM #NorthPMCM". So we have required: Bachelor degree, 10 years experience, self-starter (preferred?), strong knowledge, attention to detail, strong management skills, good communication skills. Preferred: experience with educational facility design, architectural license. We could put all under Requirements.
Benefits: described.
Pay: base salary range.
About the role: intro paragraph about Jacobs and impact and "Your impact At Jacobs..." plus maybe "We are looking for a Design Manager..." That's about role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have heading "Design Manager". Good.
We must not include Job ID etc. No metadata.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, etc. Remove lines like "All qualified applicants will receive consideration..." etc. Also remove "Job posted on September 18, 2026..." etc. Also remove "Onsite employees are expected to attend a Jacobs Workplace..." etc. Also remove "Your application experience is important..." etc. Also remove "If you require further support..." etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we keep responsibilities list, requirements, benefits, pay, intro.
We need to format responsibilities as - each item. The responsibilities list is long with some duplicated lines (e.g., "Coordinates with AOR, CPS and Public Agencies for related code and zoning requirements." appears twice; also "Supports PMO team with lessons learned and annual reviews of AORs." appears twice). We should preserve all substantive information but we can deduplicate? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplicated lines are still substantive but repeating them may be considered redundant. However they are duplicated in source; we could keep them as separate items but that would be repeating same info. Might be considered summarizing away detail if we remove duplicates? The instruction says do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Removing a duplicate could be considered summarizing away detail (though it's same detail). Safer to keep both duplicates? But that seems odd. Usually we would deduplicate but risk losing detail? The detail is same; removing one duplicate doesn't lose info because it's still present once. So we are not losing substantive information; we are just not repeating same info. I'd deduplicate.
Similarly "Supports PMO team with lessons learned and annual reviews of AORs." appears twice; we can keep one.
We'll produce list items.
Now Benefits: paragraph describing health and welfare benefits: medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, 401(k), ability to purchase company stock at discount, deferred compensation plan or Executive Deferral Plan, unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) policy for full-time salaried/exempt employees, seven paid holidays, caregiver leave, certain roles may be eligible for additional rewards including merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, and stock.
We'll put that as
.
Pay: base salary range $110,600.00 to $120,000.00. Also note that within range, individual pay determined by work location and additional factors. We'll include that.
Now About the role: combine intro paragraphs: "At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good. Your impact At Jacobs, what we do is more than construction; we play a part in moving a vision from concept to reality. If you’re interested in a rewarding career working on ENR's #1 Construction Management-for-Fee firm, then Jacobs is where you belong. We are looking for a Design Manager who is driven by exceeding expectations to join our collaborative project team in the Chicago, IL office working on projects that will enhance the lives of K-12 students!"
We'll put that as
under About the role.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll produce:

Responsibilities

Requirements
... maybe we should use
for list of requirements? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So requirements list should be
- . However some requirements are prose-like sentences; we can still make each bullet a requirement. We'll break into bullet points.
Similarly Benefits: we could use
- for list of benefits. But the benefits description is a paragraph with multiple items separated by commas. Could break into list items: medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, 401(k) plan, ability to purchase company stock at a discount, deferred compensation plan or Executive Deferral Plan, unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) policy for full-time salaried/exempt employees, seven paid holidays, caregiver leave, merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, stock. That seems appropriate.
Pay: could be
as it's not a list.
Schedule: not present.
Now we need to ensure we don't include headings with empty content.
Let's extract responsibilities items from text:
Responsibilities block:

We need to clean up punctuation and duplicates.
Let's list unique items:
1. Reports to PMO Director of Planning and Design.
2. Focus on the ongoing client relationships.
3. Develop project scopes and budgets for individual projects.
4. Coordinates with CPS Departments and CPS principals to ensure project designs meet expectations.
5. Develops and maintains project schedules.

17. Collaborates with PMO member for the development of processes.
Also "Supports PMO team with lessons learned and annual reviews of AORs." is similar to #12 but slightly different wording. We'll keep one.
Now we need to format each as
- item.
Now Requirements: extract bullet points.

We need to split into sensible bullets.
Let's parse:
