We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities? The posting includes sections: "Your impact", "About The Role", "Key Contributions" (which includes sub-sections: Technical Leadership & Power Systems, Strategic Impact & Business Development, Mentorship, Standards & Design-Build Delivery). Then "Here's what you'll need" includes Education, Experience, etc. Also "Ideally, You'll Also Have". Then "Work Environment". Then benefits section: "Our health and welfare benefits...". Then salary range. Also hybrid working policy etc. We need to map to headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which content goes where. The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Thus we need to decide which sections have real content. We have: - About the role: The posting includes "About The Role" paragraph. So we can have

    About the role

    with that paragraph. - Responsibilities: The "Key Contributions" sections detail responsibilities. So we can have

    Responsibilities

    with sub-sections maybe as
    • or we could keep paragraphs. The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should list duties as
        • . We have multiple bullet-like sentences. We can break them into list items. - Requirements: The "Here's what you'll need" includes Education, PE License, Experience, etc. That's requirements. So

          Requirements

          with list. - Qualifications: Might overlap with Requirements; but we could treat "Ideally, You'll Also Have" as Qualifications or Skills. The instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have "Ideally, You'll Also Have" which are preferred qualifications. Could be placed under Qualifications or Skills. We'll decide: Qualifications for preferred qualifications. Skills for tools etc. - Skills: Tools & Delivery, Power Analysis Tools, etc. Could be under Skills. - Benefits: The paragraph about health and welfare benefits, unlimited PPTO, etc. So

          Benefits

          with list. - Pay: The base salary range is given. So

          Pay

          with that info. - Schedule: Work Environment includes travel %, on-call availability, hybrid working policy. That's schedule/working conditions. So

          Schedule

          with that info. We must not create sections with filler. All have content. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can rephrase? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That suggests we should not omit details, but we can rephrase? Probably we should keep the original wording as much as possible, but we can format into lists. We need to be careful not to duplicate lines. Also remove boilerplate like EEO statement, application instructions, etc. The posting includes EEO statement at end: "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or protected veteran status." That's boilerplate; we should remove. Also "Job posted on May 07, 2025. This position will be open for at least 3 days." That's metadata; we can fold into a short

          or drop it. Probably drop it as minor metadata. Also "We value collaboration..." etc about hybrid working policy is part of Work Environment, we keep. Also "Your application experience is important to us..." is application instructions; remove. Also "If you require further support..." remove. Thus we need to extract substantive content. Let's parse the posting: First paragraph: "At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good." That's generic company description; maybe not needed? It's not about the role. Could be considered boilerplate? It's not specific to the role. Might be considered fluff but it's substantive? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. However, we might consider that as company overview, not required for the role. But it's part of the posting. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This company overview is not those. It might be considered generic but still part of posting. However, we might keep it under About the role? The About the role section already has a paragraph. The company overview could be placed before About the role as a

          . But the instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

          or drop it. This is not metadata. I'd keep it as a brief intro paragraph before About the role. But we need to decide sections. Let's outline: Intro paragraph: company mission. Then

          About the role

          : The paragraph starting "At Jacobs, we never settle — we push boundaries, elevate standards, and deliver with purpose. Power is the foundational constraint..." etc. Then

          Responsibilities
