Economics and Strategy Advisory Consultant
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to decide which sections have content.
- About the role: Could be a brief description of the role. The posting includes "Job Description AECOM Advisory is seeking a dynamic Economics and Strategy Advisory Consultant..." That's about the role. So we can have About the role section with prose summarizing that.
- Responsibilities: The posting includes a list of responsibilities after "The responsibilities include but not be limited to:" with bullet points. So we can have Responsibilities section with
- .
- Requirements: The posting includes "Minimum Requirements:" and "Preferred Qualifications:" etc. That's qualifications. Could be Requirements section (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. We can put minimum requirements under Requirements, and preferred qualifications under Qualifications. Also there is a list of skills etc. Could go under Skills.
- Benefits: The posting includes "About AECOM AECOM is proud to offer comprehensive benefits..." and later "What makes AECOM a great place to work" includes benefits. So we can have Benefits section with list of benefits.
- Pay: The posting includes "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 have Pay section with that info.
- Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should NOT include Schedule section.
We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not needed.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove boilerplate: "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 can 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 can include a short p for that line maybe under Additional Information? But we might drop it as not essential? It's substantive? It's a date; but maybe we can keep as a short p under Additional Information? However we don't have a section for Additional Information; we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to drop as it's not core to role. But we might keep as a short p under a generic "Additional Information" but we don't have that heading. Since we only allowed specific headings, we should not create new headings. So we can drop it.
Also "Sponsorship assistance is not available..." etc. That's also metadata; could be dropped or folded into a short p under Benefits? Not exactly. Probably drop.
"At AECOM, we are committed to maintaining a secure and trustworthy recruitment process..." also boilerplate; drop.
"Offered rate of compensation will be based on individual education, qualifications, experience, and work location. The range for this position is $100000 to $160000." That's Pay.
"About AECOM AECOM is proud to offer comprehensive benefits..." That's Benefits.
"What makes AECOM a great place to work ..." That's also benefits/culture; we can include in Benefits section.
We need to preserve all substantive information: responsibilities list, qualifications list, skills list, benefits list, pay range.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact bullet points? We can keep them as list items preserving the text.
We need to avoid duplication: there may be duplicated lines; we should remove duplicates.
Let's extract sections.
**About the role**: Paragraph(s) describing role: "AECOM Advisory is seeking a dynamic Economics and Strategy Advisory Consultant to support our growing global Advisory business line. We are seeking talented management consultants to join AECOM Advisory who are mission-driven for the role of our clients in supporting economic, environmental and social vibrancy.

You will tackle strategic challenges such as translating net-zero ambitions into bankable investment cases, quantifying the socioeconomic value for large-scale investments in energy, water, transportation, and AI infrastructure, and assisting public sector clients in shaping public policy and planning for their key investment and policy priorities.

That's a lot; we can keep as prose.

Note: The bullet list includes a sub-bullet under "In addition, you will also have the opportunity to contribute to business development, through:" which is a heading then sub-items. We can treat that as a list item with a nested list? But spec says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We can have a top-level li with text and then a nested ul for sub-items. That's okay.
