Development Project Manager
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text
8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting content:
- Job Summary: This is the "About the role" section
- Essential Duties And Responsibilities: This is "Responsibilities" with multiple subsections
- Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities Required: This is "Requirements" or "Qualifications"
- Preferred: This could be part of Requirements or separate "Preferred Qualifications"
- Core Competencies: This is "Skills"
- Work Environment: This is "Work Environment" or "Schedule"
- Position Type/Expected Hours of Work: This is "Schedule"
- Travel: This is part of Work Environment/Schedule
- Physical Demands: This is "Physical Requirements" or part of Work Environment
- AAP/EEO Statement: This is boilerplate to remove
I need to structure this into appropriate sections. Let me map:
1. About the role (from Job Summary)
2. Responsibilities (from Essential Duties And Responsibilities - with subsections as nested lists or separate sections? The rules say use
for section headings. The subsections like "Project Development & Permitting", "Interconnection Management", etc. could be but the rules only mention . I think I should use for main sections and maybe for subsections? The rules say "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't forbid . But to be safe, I'll use for main sections and maybe keep subsections as or just incorporate into lists. Since the rules say "use for section headings", I'll use for the main sections only. For subsections within Responsibilities, I can use or just bold text in list items. I think using is fine as it's semantic HTML. But the instruction says "use for section headings" - it doesn't say "only use ". I'll use for main sections and for subsections within Responsibilities.
But the example headings given are "About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule". So those are the main sections. The subsections under Responsibilities are not in that list. I could make them or just include as part of the list items with bold labels.
I'll structure as:

But note: "Position Type/Expected Hours of Work" and "Travel" are separate headings in the posting. I'll combine Work Environment, Schedule, Travel, Physical Demands into maybe "Work Environment & Schedule" or separate sections. The rules say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So I could combine Work Environment, Schedule, Travel, Physical Demands into one "Work Environment" section with subsections.
Also, the AAP/EEO Statement is boilerplate to remove.
Now, I need to preserve ALL substantive information. So I must include all bullet points.
Let me extract content:
Job Summary: The Development Project Manager is responsible for coordinating and executing the early-stage development activities necessary to advance solar and energy storage projects from site control through development completion. This role serves as the central coordinator for discretionary permitting, consultant management, interconnection advancement, environmental due diligence, and development schedules. Unlike a Project Developer, this position is not responsible for project origination, market selection, site identification, or commercial development strategy. Instead, the Development Project Manager focuses on managing the execution of approved development plans by coordinating internal stakeholders, third-party consultants, regulatory agencies, utilities, and landowners to retire project risks and achieve key development milestones. The Development Project Manager is accountable for advancing projects through permitting and interconnection processes, maintaining development budgets and schedules, risks, managing consultant performance, and preparing projects for successful handoff to downstream execution teams.
Essential Duties And Responsibilities: with subsections.
Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities Required: list of required items.
Preferred: list of preferred items.
Core Competencies: list.

Now, I need to output HTML fragment.
