Director, Data Center Development & Construction (Joliet, IL)
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when there is real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
First, there is a paragraph about company background: "Headquartered in the Greater Washington area, American Real Estate Partners (AREP) ...". That could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is for description of role. But we could treat the company overview as "About the role"? Usually "About the role" is description of the position. The posting includes "Job Description: The Director, Data Center Development & Construction will coordinate...". So we can put that under "About the role". Also "Essential Duties & Responsibilities:" list.
Thus sections:
- About the role: includes company overview and job description paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (Essential Duties & Responsibilities). Could be a .
- Requirements: maybe "Key Qualifications & Competencies" includes qualifications and competencies. Could be split into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills. But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what goes where.
We have:
- Key Qualifications & Competencies: includes bullet-like sentences (but not bullet list). It lists many items: Bachelor's degree..., 10+ years..., Advanced knowledge..., Intermediate experience..., Ability to interpret..., Skilled in drafting..., Ability to handle..., Skilled in developing..., Experience with..., Self-starter..., Ability to communicate..., Analytical ability..., Strong proficiency..., Candidates with any or all of the following background are strongly encouraged to apply: Advanced business..., Project management (PMP) or construction management (CCM) certifications..., Experienced in hyperscale turn-key data center projects..., Specific knowledge of the data center entitlement and permitting process a plus..., Experienced in real estate development and/or finance..., Cloud based project management software a plus (Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud).
We could split: Requirements: education, years experience, core competencies. Qualifications: maybe certifications, advanced degrees. Skills: software proficiency, etc. But we need to avoid filler.
Better: Use Requirements for the mandatory qualifications (Bachelor's degree, 10+ years, advanced knowledge, intermediate experience, ability to interpret, skilled in drafting, ability to handle, skilled in developing schedules, skilled in developing sustainability plans, experience with risk management, self-starter, communication, analytical ability, proficiency software). Qualifications for the "Candidates with any or all of the following background are strongly encouraged to apply:" list (advanced degrees, PMP/CCM certifications, hyperscale experience, entitlement knowledge, real estate dev/finance, cloud PM software). Skills could be maybe the software proficiency list? But we already used software proficiency in Requirements. Could move software to Skills.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think.
We have to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include all points somewhere.
Simplify: Use sections:
- About the role: company overview + job description paragraph.
- Responsibilities: the Essential Duties & Responsibilities list (we can turn each sentence into - ).
- Requirements: the mandatory qualifications (Bachelor's degree, 10+ years experience, advanced knowledge, intermediate experience, ability to interpret, skilled in drafting agreements, ability to handle infrastructure development life cycle, skilled in developing schedules, skilled in developing sustainability plans, experience with risk management, self-starter, communication, analytical ability, proficiency with software). Could be a list.
- Qualifications: the "Candidates with any or all of the following background are strongly encouraged to apply:" list (advanced degrees, PMP/CCM certifications, hyperscale turn-key data center projects, specific knowledge of entitlement/permitting, real estate development/finance, cloud based PM software). Could be list.
- Skills: maybe we could list specific technical skills: Microsoft Office Suite, Yardi, Primavera P6, Aconex, etc. But we already included software proficiency in Requirements. Could move those to Skills.
- Benefits: The benefits paragraph.
- Pay: The anticipated base salary range.
- Schedule: travel requirements (minimum 25% travel to HQ, could expand). That's schedule info.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "not specified". We have actual content for each.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use
for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, unsolicited resumes, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive info: company overview, job description, duties, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule/travel.
Let's extract details.

We need to turn each into
- . Some sentences have multiple parts; we can keep as is.
Now Requirements (mandatory qualifications) from "Key Qualifications & Competencies" first part before "Candidates with any or all of the following background are strongly encouraged to apply:":
"Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, architecture/planning, business or related field, or additional significant relevant working experience in lieu of degree.
10+ years of construction or development project management experience on mission-critical or technically complex commercial construction projects, including data centers or high-density MEP environments.

"Candidates with any or all of the following background are strongly encouraged to apply:
Advanced business, real estate, or other related degrees.
Project management (PMP) or construction management (CCM) certifications.
Experienced in hyperscale turn-key data center projects.
Specific knowledge of the data center entitlement and permitting process a plus.
Experienced in real estate development and/or finance.
Cloud based project management software a plus (Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud)."
Now Skills: maybe we could list specific technical skills: Microsoft Office Suite, Yardi, Primavera P6, Aconex, Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud. But we already have software proficiency in Requirements. Could move those to Skills and keep Requirements more about experience/education. Let's decide.
We have to avoid duplication. If we put software list in Skills, we should remove from Requirements. But the requirement includes "Strong proficiency of computer software, including but not limited to, Microsoft Office Suite, Yardi, Primavera P6, Aconex." That's a requirement. Could still be in Requirements but we could also list in Skills. However duplication is okay? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not prohibited but might be redundant. Better to avoid duplication. So we can keep software proficiency in Skills section, and remove from Requirements. But then we lose the statement that it's a requirement. However we could keep a brief statement in Requirements like "Strong proficiency of computer software" without listing specifics, and then list specifics in Skills. That preserves info.
Thus Requirements: list of education, experience, knowledge, ability to interpret, skilled in drafting, ability to handle infrastructure, skilled in schedules, skilled in sustainability, experience with risk management, self-starter, communication, analytical ability, strong proficiency of computer software (generic). Then Skills: list specific software: Microsoft Office Suite, Yardi, Primavera P6, Aconex, Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Now Benefits: The benefits paragraph appears twice; we need to combine without duplication.
First benefits paragraph:
