for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. No job title heading. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting.

We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. - About the role: could include intro description of role, DOD SkillBridge program, location, etc. That's substantive. - Responsibilities: the "What You Will Be Doing" list. - Requirements: the "What We Are Looking For" list includes eligibility, physical ability, driver's license, etc. Also maybe "General knowledge of land surveying and AutoCAD drafting are preferred" could be qualifications or skills. - Qualifications: maybe the preferred knowledge, driver's license, etc. But we need to avoid duplication. We can separate: Requirements = mandatory items; Qualifications = preferred items; Skills = specific technical skills (Trimble, Robotic Total Station, GPS equipment, AutoCAD). However we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "not specified". We have content for each. - Benefits: we have list. - Pay: The posting says "Wages and Benefits provided by Department of Defense while participating in the program." No specific pay amount. That's vague; we should not create Pay section if only vague statement like "provided by DOD". The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state that wages and benefits are provided by DOD, but not specific numbers. Is that enough? It says "Wages and Benefits provided by Department of Defense while participating in the program." That's a statement about pay/benefits source. Might be considered stating that pay is provided by DOD. However the rule says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". The phrase "Wages and Benefits provided by Department of Defense while participating in the program." is not exactly placeholder but it's vague. It does state that wages are provided by DOD, but not amount. Could be considered filler? I'd lean to not include Pay section because it's not a specific amount or range. The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state that wages and benefits are provided by DOD, which is a statement about pay. But it's not a specific pay. I'd interpret that as stating them (they said wages and benefits are provided). However the rule about filler includes "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. This is not exactly those. It's a statement that wages are provided by DOD. I think we can include a Pay section with that sentence. - Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So omit Schedule. - Skills: Could list technical skills: Trimble, Robotic Total Station, GPS equipment, AutoCAD drafting (preferred). Also maybe land surveying knowledge. We need to avoid duplication. Let's structure:

About the role

Bolton & Menk is seeking a Survey Technician through the DOD SkillBridge Program. This 3‑month immersive experience is based out of the Brookings, SD office and involves collaborating with seasoned crew chiefs in the field on boundary surveys, construction staking, topographic surveys, ALTA surveys, and GPS data collection.

But we need to preserve all substantive info. Let's capture details: SkillBridge program description, Top Workplace, over 75 years experience, community infrastructure solutions across Southeast, Midwest, beyond. DOD SkillBridge Program - Survey Technicians engage in a 3-month immersive experience predominately collaborating with seasoned crew chiefs in the field, where they can apply their newly acquired skills to actually work projects. This opportunity will be based out of our Brookings, SD office. We'll combine. Responsibilities: list items. Requirements: mandatory items: Must be a Military Service Member with 180 days of service or fewer remaining before separation date; Must have ability to work in extended outdoor conditions and be physically capable of navigating rugged terrain; Must possess a valid driver’s license and be insurable under firm’s standard rates; Must also own their own transportation; Will be reimbursed for business-related travel; A check of the candidate's motor vehicle record will be conducted as part of on-boarding; Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time, part-time or internship basis for any employer without restriction; Bolton & Menk does not provide visa sponsorship or immigration support for this position. Also relocation and housing not included (maybe a note). Also "Wages and Benefits provided by Department of Defense while participating in the program." That's pay/benefits. Qualifications: Preferred: General knowledge of land surveying and AutoCAD drafting are preferred. Skills: Experience with Trimble, Robotic Total Station, and GPS equipment; interacting with staff, landowners, contractors, subcontractors (maybe more responsibility). But we already have responsibilities list includes interacting. Could put skills as technical equipment. Benefits: list as given. Pay: "Wages and Benefits provided by Department of Defense while participating in the program." We'll put that. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, thank you lines, etc. Let's craft HTML. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

  . We'll have sections: About the role (paragraph) Responsibilities (ul) Requirements (ul) Qualifications (ul) maybe just one item. Skills (ul) Benefits (ul) Pay (p) maybe. Check for duplication: Responsibilities list includes "You will assist with boundary surveys, construction staking, topographic surveys, ALTA surveys, and GPS data collection", "You will be on construction staking", "You will be gaining experience with Trimble, Robotic Total Station, and GPS equipment", "This position will interact with staff, landowners, contractors, and subcontractors". That's fine. Skills could be duplicate of equipment experience; but we could keep skills as "Experience with Trimble, Robotic Total Station, and GPS equipment; knowledge of AutoCAD drafting (preferred)". However we already have responsibilities includes gaining experience with that equipment. Might be okay to have skills separate but ensure not duplicate exactly same sentence. Could rephrase: Skills: Proficiency with Trimble, Robotic Total Station, and GPS equipment; familiarity with AutoCAD drafting. But we need to preserve all substantive info; not invent. The responsibilities already mention gaining experience with that equipment. If we also put skills, we might be repeating but it's okay as long as we don't invent. However we might avoid duplication by not having Skills section if it's covered. But we need to decide if we have content for Skills separate from responsibilities. The posting mentions "General knowledge of land surveying and AutoCAD drafting are preferred" under qualifications. That's a qualification, not skill. The equipment experience is in responsibilities. So we could have Skills section maybe empty; better to omit Skills if no distinct content. The rule: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine qualifications and skills into Qualifications section. But we have headings list; we can omit Skills if not needed. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Check each: - About the role: includes intro, program description, location, etc. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: mandatory eligibility, physical, driver license, transport, work auth, no visa sponsorship, relocation/housing not included, maybe also motor vehicle record check. - Qualifications: preferred knowledge of land surveying and AutoCAD drafting. - Benefits: list. - Pay: statement about wages and benefits provided by DOD. We must not include Schedule. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "As a Top Workplace, this is a fantastic chance to work with a talented team of professionals and make a lasting impact on the communities we serve." That's substantive, okay. Now produce HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's write:
