DESIGNER CO-OP
for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID etc as headings; fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Req ID: 49331 (metadata)
- Team: E01 ENGRG & DESIGN
- Entity: Newport News Shipbuilding
- US Citizenship Required: Yes
- Part-Time Shift: 1st
- Relocation: No relocation assistance available
- Virtual/Telework Opportunity: No - Not eligible for telework
- Travel Requirements: No
- Clearance Required: No - Clearance Not Required to Start
- Salary Range: $37,000.00 to $51,000.00 (with note about final compensation)
- The anticipated salary range represents the estimated base pay for this role. Final compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors, and may vary from the posted range
- Then description: "Meet HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding ..." (company description)
- "Want to be part of the team? Apply today! We look forward to meeting you." (call to action, but we should remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. This line is a call to apply; maybe considered application instruction. We'll drop it.
- "The Role" heading: description of Designer Co-Op position.
- "Must Have" bullet list: requirements: U.S. Citizen; full time student enrolled in a 2-year college/university; pursuing an Associates in Drafting and Design or related field; cumulative GPA of 2.5 or greater; unofficial transcripts required when applying; failure to upload transcripts at time of application will result in automatic disqualification.
- "Key Responsibilities": list of responsibilities.
- "Typical Areas of Design /Support across Submarine & Carrier Programs:" list of areas.
- "Nice to Have": list of nice-to-have skills.
- "Why HII": description of company, benefits.
- Benefits list: medical, prescription drug, dental and vision plan choices, on-site health centers, tele-medicine, wellness resources, employee assistance programs, savings plan options (401K), financial education and planning tools, life insurance, tuition reimbursement, employee discounts, early childhood and post-secondary education scholarships, and more. Some benefits may vary depending on your specific division or work location.
- Then EEO statement: "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to ..." (EEO boilerplate, should be removed).
- Then "U.S. Citizenship may be required for certain positions." (maybe minor metadata, but we already have US Citizenship Required: Yes; we can incorporate into a short p.)
- Then "Do You Need Assistance? ..." (accommodation info) - maybe we can keep as a short p? It's not boilerplate? It's about accommodation request; might be considered relevant but maybe we can keep as a short p under a section? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Accommodation request is not exactly those; but it's more like contact info for assistance. Might be considered application instruction? It's about requesting accommodation; not exactly application instruction but could be considered part of application process. Safer to drop? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is about accommodation request, not exactly applying. But it's still a contact for assistance. Might be considered part of application process. I'd lean to drop it to keep only substantive content.
Thus we need to decide sections.
We have:
- About the role: could be the company description (Meet HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding ...) plus maybe the role description (The Role). Could combine.
- Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities list.
- Requirements: Must Have list (citizenship, student status, GPA, transcripts). Also maybe US Citizenship Required (yes) and Part-Time Shift etc. Could include shift info.
- Qualifications: maybe the Nice to Have? Or we could treat Nice to Have as Qualifications? Actually Nice to Have are preferred qualifications. Could be under Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe the Nice to Have list includes skills; but we could also have Skills section for technical skills like CAD software, etc. However we already have responsibilities list includes using CAD software. Might be redundant.
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Pay: Salary Range.
- Schedule: Part-Time Shift: 1st (maybe also mention up to 20 hours a week). So we can include schedule.
We need to avoid sections with filler/placeholder text. Ensure each section has real content.
Let's extract substantive content:
Company description (Meet HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding ...). This is a paragraph.
The Role description: paragraph about Designer Co-Op position.
Must Have: list of requirements.
Key Responsibilities: list.
Typical Areas of Design/Support: list (maybe could be part of responsibilities? But it's a list of areas; could be included under Responsibilities as a sublist? But we already have responsibilities list; we could add another list under Responsibilities? Might be okay to have separate section "Typical Design Areas". But instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Typical Areas into Responsibilities as a sublist? However they are not responsibilities but areas where they may work. Could be considered part of responsibilities. Might be okay to include under Responsibilities as a bullet list.
Nice to Have: list of preferred qualifications/skills.
Benefits: list.
Pay: Salary range.
Schedule: Part-Time Shift: 1st, up to 20 hours a week.
Also note: US Citizenship Required: Yes (we can include in Requirements).
Relocation: No relocation assistance available (maybe not needed). Virtual/Telework: No. Travel Requirements: No. Clearance: No. Could be included under Requirements or Schedule? Might be minor metadata; we could fold into a short p under Requirements or a separate "Additional Info" but we should avoid thin sections. Could incorporate into Requirements as notes.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Designer Co-Op". Not to be used as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can drop them.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation request, etc.
Now produce HTML.
We'll have sections:
