for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.

- WHY BOLTON & MENK? description about company.
- Then boilerplate about EEO etc to remove.
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 be introductory paragraph about the role, DOD SkillBridge, location, etc. That seems appropriate.
- Responsibilities: The "What You Will Be Doing" list.
- Requirements: The "What We Are Looking For" includes eligibility (military service member with <=180 days left, ability to work outdoors, driver's license, own transportation, etc). Also maybe "General knowledge of land surveying and AutoCAD drafting are preferred" could be qualifications/skills.
- Qualifications: Could include preferred knowledge (land surveying, AutoCAD). Also maybe "Must be a Military Service Member with 180 days of service or fewer remaining before your separation date" is a requirement not qualification. But we can separate.
- Skills: Could list equipment experience: Trimble, Robotic Total Station, GPS equipment; also maybe "interact with staff, landowners, contractors, subcontractors" (communication). But we can put under Skills.
- Benefits: The list of benefits.
- Pay: The posting says "Wages and Benefits provided by Department of Defense while participating in the program." No specific pay amount. So we should NOT create a Pay section because it's not specific (just says provided by DOD). The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits we have specific list, so we include Benefits. Pay we do not include because no specific amount.
- Schedule: Not mentioned (maybe 3-month immersive experience). Could be considered schedule? It says 3-month immersive experience. That's a duration, not schedule (like full-time/part-time). The rule: only include Schedule if posting actually states them. It does not state schedule like hours per week. So we skip Schedule.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, EEO etc.
We need to include location info (Chaska and Oakdale, MN offices). Also mention 3-month immersive experience.
We need to include that wages and benefits provided by DOD while participating in the program (maybe mention in About the role or Requirements? It's a benefit but it's DOD-provided; we could mention in About the role as note). But we should not create Pay section.
We need to include that relocation and housing are not included.
We need to include that applicants must be authorized to work in US, no visa sponsorship.
We need to include that they will be reimbursed for business-related travel, MVR check.
We need to include that they must own own transportation.
We need to include that they must be insurable under firm's standard rates.
We need to include that they must have valid driver's license.
We need to include that they must be able to work extended outdoor conditions and navigate rugged terrain.
We need to include that they must be military service member with <=180 days left.
We need to include that general knowledge of land surveying and AutoCAD drafting are preferred.
We need to include that they will assist with boundary surveys, construction staking, topographic surveys, ALTA surveys, GPS data collection; they will be on construction staking; gaining experience with Trimble, Robotic Total Station, and GPS equipment; position will interact with staff, landowners, contractors, subcontractors.
We need to include benefits list exactly as given.
We need to include the "Supporting Our Service Members" paragraph maybe as part of About the role? But we can keep as separate paragraph under About the role? The rule: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine the introductory fluff into About the role.
Thus About the role paragraph: includes description of SkillBridge program, Top Workplace, 75 years experience, 3-month immersive experience, location Chaska and Oakdale, MN, wages and benefits provided by DOD, relocation/housing not included, authorization to work in US, no visa sponsorship, reimbursement for business travel, MVR check, own transportation, driver's license, insurable, etc. Also mention supporting service members and benefits? Actually benefits list is separate.
We need to avoid duplication: we should not repeat the same info in multiple sections.
Let's extract unique pieces:
Introductory fluff:
- Bolton & Menk is seeking a Survey Technician through our DOD SkillBridge Program.
- SkillBridge is a Department of Defense (DOD) program that helps service members gain civilian work experience.
- 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.
- With over 75 years of experience, Bolton & Menk specializes in providing community infrastructure solutions across the Southeast, Midwest, and 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 can be based out of our Chaska and Oakdale, MN offices.
- Wages and Benefits provided by Department of Defense while participating in the program.
- Relocation and housing are not included.
- Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis, part-time basis or internship for any employer without restriction.
- Bolton & Menk does not provide visa sponsorship or immigration support for this position.
- Supporting Our Service Members: Bolton & Menk offers a variety of benefit programs and amenities designed to support you and your family at every stage of life. (then benefits list)
- Also mention: You will be reimbursed for business-related travel. A check of the candidate's motor vehicle record will be conducted as part of the on-boarding.
- Must possess a valid driver’s license and be insurable under the firm’s standard rates. Must also own their own transportation.
Now responsibilities list:
- assist with boundary surveys, construction staking, topographic surveys, ALTA surveys, and GPS data collection
- you will be on construction staking
- gaining experience with Trimble, Robotic Total Station, and GPS equipment
- position will interact with staff, landowners, contractors, and subcontractors
Requirements (mandatory):
- Must be a Military Service Member with 180 days of service or fewer remaining before your separation date
- ability to work in extended outdoor conditions and be physically capable of navigating rugged terrain for the purpose of performing the duties outlined above
- Must possess a valid driver’s license and be insurable under the firm’s standard rates.
- Must also own their own transportation.
- You will be reimbursed for business-related travel. (maybe this is a benefit, but it's a condition)
- A check of the candidate's motor vehicle record will be conducted as part of the on-boarding.
- Relocation and housing are not included. (maybe also a requirement/condition)
- Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis, part-time basis or internship for any employer without restriction.
- Bolton & Menk does not provide visa sponsorship or immigration support for this position.
Qualifications (preferred):
- General knowledge of land surveying and AutoCAD drafting are preferred
Skills (maybe):
- Experience with Trimble, Robotic Total Station, and GPS equipment (though that's also in responsibilities)
- Ability to interact with staff, landowners, contractors, subcontractors (communication)
- Ability to work outdoors, navigate rugged terrain (maybe skill)
But we could treat those as requirements.
We need to avoid duplication: responsibilities already mention gaining experience with Trimble etc. So skills could be something else like "Ability to communicate effectively with staff, landowners, contractors, subcontractors". But we can also put under Skills: "Experience with Trimble, Robotic Total Station, and GPS equipment" (though it's also in responsibilities). Might be okay but could be duplicate. Better to put under Skills: "Experience with Trimble, Robotic Total Station, and GPS equipment" and "Ability to interact with staff, landowners, contractors, and subcontractors". However responsibilities already mention that they will be gaining experience with that equipment and interacting with those parties. So maybe we don't need a separate Skills section; we could combine skills into Responsibilities or Qualifications. But the instruction says to use sections only when posting has real specific content for it. We have specific content for skills (equipment, communication). So we can include Skills section.
Benefits: list as given.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove those lines at end.
Now produce HTML fragment.
Structure:
About the role
... (paragraph(s) containing prose). Could be multiple paragraphs but we can combine into one
with sentences.
We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits we need lists.
But we also have prose sections like About the role.
Thus:
