Economics and Strategy Advisory Consultant

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

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 job posting. Company description: not needed? It's part of description but we can include maybe as "About the role"? Actually "Company Description" is not a heading we need; we can incorporate into a paragraph maybe under "About the role"? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe summarizing description), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive information; remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to include Pay section only if posting states it. It does: "Offered rate of compensation will be based on individual education, qualifications, experience, and work location. The range for this position is $100000 to $160000." So we can include Pay section with that range. Benefits: The posting mentions benefits under "About AECOM" and "What makes AECOM a great place to work". It lists benefits: medical, dental, vision, life, AD&D, disability benefits, paid time off, leaves of absences, voluntary benefits, perks, flexible work options, well-being resources, employee assistance program, business travel insurance, service recognition awards, retirement savings plan, employee stock purchase plan. Also mention "comprehensive benefits". So we can include Benefits section with that list. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule section. Skills: Could be derived from qualifications and preferred qualifications. But we have separate sections for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says use those headings if there is real specific content. We have Requirements (minimum requirements) and Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Also we could have Skills section for specific skills like proficiency with tools, etc. The posting includes many skill-like items under "Preferred Qualifications" and also under "Qualifications". Might be better to treat "Qualifications" as both minimum and preferred? But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. We can interpret: - Requirements: Minimum Requirements (Bachelor's + 4 years experience, etc.) - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (Master's, 8+ years, etc.) - Skills: Specific technical skills (proficiency with data science, geospatial, I/O modeling, programming languages, data visualization, domain expertise areas). Also interpersonal skills etc. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include all details from Minimum Requirements, Preferred Qualifications, and skill lists. We also need to include Responsibilities section with bullet list of duties. We need to include About the role section maybe summarizing the role description (the paragraph about what you will do). Could be a paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate like "THIS POSTING IS FOR A CURRENT VACANCY, AND AECOM INTENDS TO FILL THIS POSITION BY DECEMBER 16, 2026." That's maybe metadata but could be considered minor; we could fold into a short p or drop. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph for that info, maybe under About the role? Or we could just drop it. It's not essential? It's substantive? It's about timeline. Might be considered minor metadata; we could drop. But we could keep as a p under About the role. Also "Sponsorship assistance is not available for this position at this time or in the future. Relocation assistance is not available for this position." That's also metadata; could be dropped or folded. Also "At AECOM, we are committed to maintaining a secure and trustworthy recruitment process..." that's boilerplate; drop. Also "Offered rate of compensation will be based on individual education, qualifications, experience, and work location." That's part of Pay. Also "About AECOM" section describing company; could be part of About the role or maybe we can include a brief About AECOM paragraph under About the role? But we already have company description earlier. Might be redundant. We could include a short paragraph about AECOM under About the role. Also "What makes AECOM a great place to work" includes benefits and culture; we already captured benefits; the rest is fluff; could drop. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:
