We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to extract relevant info.
Job posting details:
- Title: Design Mechanical Engineer B (NPG) - 518941 (but we don't repeat title as heading)
- Organization: Nuclear Power Group
- Department: Procurement Engineering Group
- Work Location: Decatur, AL
- Relocation: Relocation benefits are offered for this position and will be aligned with federal travel regulations
- Posting Open: 09/26/2026
- Posting Close: 10/05/2026 at 11:59 PM EST
- Salary: Competitive
- Ideal Candidate: description
- Job Summary: paragraph
- Supervisory Responsibilities: paragraph
- Supervision Received: paragraph
- Skills And Proficiencies: list of items
- Minimum Qualifications: Education, Experience, Certifications/Licenses, Other Requirements
- Also other sections: Equal Employment Opportunity, Drug-Free Workplace, How To Claim Vet Preference, How To Submit Documentation - these are boilerplate, should be removed.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe job summary?), Responsibilities (job summary includes responsibilities), Requirements (maybe minimum qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe education/experience?), Skills (skills and proficiencies), Benefits (relocation benefits), Pay (salary competitive), Schedule (maybe shift work/rotating shifts, on-call, overtime, travel). We need to include only if posting has real specific content.
Let's extract:
About the role: Could be Job Summary paragraph. We'll put that under About the role.
Responsibilities: Could be from Job Summary and maybe supervisory responsibilities. We'll combine.
Requirements: Could be Minimum Qualifications (education, experience, certifications, other requirements). We'll put under Requirements.
Qualifications: Might be similar to Requirements; but we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we can put Education/Experience under Qualifications, and Certifications under Requirements? But guidelines: Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine education/experience/certifications into Requirements and skip Qualifications. Or we could have Qualifications for education/experience, Requirements for certifications/other. However we need to avoid filler. Let's decide: Use sections: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (includes supervisory responsibilities), Requirements (minimum qualifications: education, experience, certifications, other requirements), Skills (skills and proficiencies), Benefits (relocation benefits), Pay (salary competitive), Schedule (shift work, on-call, rotating shifts, overtime, travel). That seems reasonable.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, Drug-Free Workplace, Veteran preference, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information: Let's extract each piece.
Job Summary paragraph:
"Plans, schedules, conducts, or coordinates detailed phases of mechanical engineering work in a part of a major project or in a total project of moderate scope. Performs work which involves conventional mechanical engineering practice but may include a variety of complex features such as conflicting design requirements, unsuitability of conventional materials, and difficult coordination requirements. Work requires a broad knowledge of precedents in the specialty area and good knowledge of and practices of related specialty. As a fully competent mechanical engineer in all conventional experience aspects of the subject matter of the functional area of the assignments, plans and conducts work requiring judgment in the independent evaluation, selection, and substantial adaptation and modification of standard techniques, procedures, and criteria. Devises new approaches to problems encountered. Required sufficient professional experience to ensure competence as a fully trained worker. Provides procurement, field engineering including walkdowns, modifications/maintenance, and testing support."
Supervisory Responsibilities:
"Supervisory Responsibilities May supervise or coordinate the work of multidiscipline engineers, CAD Technicians, technicians, and others who assist in specific assignments."
Supervision Received:
"Supervision Received Independently performs most assignments with instructions as to the general results expected. Receives technical guidance on unusual or complex problems and supervisor’s approval on proposed plans for projects."
We could combine supervisory responsibilities and supervision received under Responsibilities.

Certifications/Licenses: Licensed Professional Engineer desirable. Membership in professional and technical societies is desirable. For Fire Protection Employees: must be member grade SFPE and hold all designated restrictions. Fire Protection Engineering degree is recommended.
Other Requirements: Must be able to obtain and maintain unescorted nuclear plant access and S-3 and S-4 medical qualifications when applicable. Must be able and willing to assume “on-call” rotational assignments which may include 24 hour-a-day, 7 day-a-week availability. Must be willing and medically able to work rotating shifts and maximum overtime permitted by TVAN procedures during peak periods. Must be able and willing to travel to plant locations as required when performing assigned tasks and, as necessary, to be temporarily assigned to a field location. (duplicate line "to a field location." appears twice; we keep once.)

- Hydraulic Analysis
- Design Change Package
- Codes and Standards
- Procurement/Design Specs
- Heat Transfer Analysis
- Physical Installation
- Heat Balance Analysis
- Equipment Qualification
- Pump Selection
- Valve and Orifice Sizing
- Root Cause Analysis
- Fire Protection-Appendix R/ Heat Exchange
- HVAC Equipment Set Design Basis Knowledge
- MOVATS
- PSA
We need to keep as list items.
Benefits: Relocation benefits are offered for this position and will be aligned with federal travel regulations.
Pay: Salary: Competitive.
Schedule: From other requirements: on-call rotational assignments 24/7, willing to work rotating shifts, maximum overtime permitted, travel to plant locations, temporary field assignment. Also maybe mention "must be able and willing to assume “on-call” rotational assignments which may include 24 hour-a-day, 7 day-a-week availability." and "Must be willing and medically able to work rotating shifts and maximum overtime permitted by TVAN procedures during peak periods." and "Must be able and willing to travel to plant locations as required when performing assigned tasks and, as necessary, to be temporarily assigned to a field location."

Check for any duplicated content: We have "to a field location." appears once. We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, Drug-Free Workplace, Veteran preference, How to submit documentation, etc. We removed those. Check that we didn't repeat job title as heading: we didn't. Check that we didn't put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings: we didn't. Check that we didn't include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. We didn't. Check that we included all substantive information: Job summary, supervisory responsibilities, supervision received, education, experience, certifications, other requirements, skills list, relocation benefits, salary competitive, schedule details (on-call, rotating shifts, overtime, travel). Also we included organization/department/work location? Not included. The instructions: we should preserve ALL substantive information. Did we miss organization, department, work location? Those are substantive. Should we include them? Possibly under About the role or a separate section? The headings list does not include Organization/Department/Location. But we could incorporate them into About the role paragraph. The instructions: Use
