We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Let's parse the job description. Content: - About the role: description of internship, location, duration, start date, etc. So we can have About the role section. - Responsibilities: list of tasks: Support a variety of engineering tasks..., Learn basic principles..., Work under supervision..., Assist senior engineers..., Support creation..., Collaborate..., Complete training..., Exercise responsible..., Perform additional responsibilities... - Requirements: maybe "Who You Are Required Qualifications" list. - Qualifications: maybe separate Required and Preferred? Could combine under Qualifications. - Skills: maybe mention interpersonal, communication, technical writing, office automation, etc. - Benefits: The posting mentions "WSP provides a flexible and agile workplace model while meeting client needs. Employees are also afforded a comprehensive suite of benefits including medical, dental, vision, disability, life, and retirement savings..." That's about employee benefits, but for interns? It's in About WSP section. Could include Benefits section if there is specific content. It mentions benefits for employees; not explicitly for interns but could be considered. However guidelines: include section only when posting has real, specific content for it. It does mention benefits, so we can include Benefits. - Pay: No mention of pay/stipend. So omit Pay. - Schedule: Mentions 12-week program, start date May 17 2027, flexible start date. That's schedule info. So include Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At end there is EEO statement, Notice To Third Party Agencies. Remove those. Also remove "About WSP" maybe we can keep some info but not boilerplate? The "About WSP" paragraph includes description of company; could be considered substantive? Might be considered boilerplate but it's about the company. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About WSP" is not explicitly listed as boilerplate, but could be considered generic. However we might keep it under About the role? Actually About the role already covers internship details. The About WSP paragraph is more about the company; could be considered part of About the role or maybe we could create a section "About WSP" but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings are only those listed. So we should incorporate relevant info into existing sections: maybe About the role includes description of WSP's expertise etc. The paragraph about WSP's global expertise, acquisition, etc. That's substantive about the role context. Could be placed in About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not include heading for "Electrical Engineering (Distribution) Intern". Already not. Now craft sections:

    About the role

    WSP USA hosts hundreds of internships across the United States to gain hands‑on, meaningful work experience to enhance education and professional aptitude. Interns gain exposure to real projects while working side by side with senior staff. Through the Developing Professionals Network, interns receive mentorship, networking opportunities and lifelong career connections. The Power and Energy Team is seeking a Full‑Time Electrical Engineering (Distribution) Intern to work out of the Portland, OR office. This temporary position is for individuals currently enrolled in an Undergraduate or Graduate degree program and is part of the WSP Summer Internship Program. The 12‑week program is scheduled to start on May 17, 2027, with flexible start dates. WSP brings global expertise in power delivery, power generation, and program management—anchored by the acquisition of POWER Engineers, Inc. TRC Companies have now joined WSP, deepening the power practice and expanding energy advisory and intelligent grid services. Interns will partner with clients to shape how energy systems evolve around the world.

    That covers location, duration, etc.

    Responsibilities

    • Support a variety of engineering tasks with the goal of developing technical, social, and ethical skills.
    • Learn basic principles of Distribution Design.
    • Work under the supervision of experienced engineers on utility distribution design projects.
    • Assist senior engineers and designers with engineering consulting services for distribution design.
    • Support creation of construction drawings, equipment sizing, and material specification for medium voltage systems.
    • Collaborate on projects for a variety of electric utility clients, including co‑ops, public utility districts, investor‑owned utilities, and municipalities.
    • Complete training on assigned tasks.
    • Exercise responsible and ethical decision‑making regarding company funds, resources and conduct, and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and related policies and procedures.
    • Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs.

    Requirements

    • Actively enrolled in an accredited Electrical, Civil, or Mechanical Engineering or related Undergraduate program with an anticipated graduation date of August 2027 or later.
    • Must be 18 or older.
    • Demonstrated interest in Consulting Engineering, Electric Utility industry, or related field, and have a strong desire to advance skills related to WSP’s work and projects.
    • Competent interpersonal and communication skills when interacting with others, expressing ideas effectively and professionally to an engineering and non‑engineering audience.
    • Capable of taking direction from leadership, mentors, and managers to execute projects.
    • Basic proficiency with technical writing, office automation, software, spreadsheets, technology, and tools.
    • Proven track record of upholding workplace safety and ability to abide by WSP’s health, safety and drug/alcohol and harassment policies.
    • Authorization to work in the United States at the start of the internship.

    Qualifications

    Preferred qualifications:

    • Actively enrolled in an accredited engineering degree or related Masters program with an anticipated graduation date of August 2027 or later.
    • Prior internship and leadership involvement on campus.
    But we already have Requirements; maybe we should rename Required Qualifications as Requirements and Preferred as Qualifications. That matches allowed headings. Now Skills: we could extract interpersonal, communication, technical writing, office automation, etc. But those are already in Requirements. Could create Skills section listing those skills. However we must not duplicate content? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we move some items to Skills, we still preserve them. But we need to decide if we want a Skills section. The posting mentions "Competent interpersonal and communication skills", "Basic proficiency with technical writing, office automation, software, spreadsheets, technology, and tools." Those are skills. Could create Skills section. But we already have Requirements covering many items. Could we keep Requirements as is and not have Skills? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine skills into Requirements. However we have separate headings allowed; we could still include Skills if we have specific content. The posting does mention skills explicitly, so we could include Skills section. But we must not repeat content. If we put skills in both Requirements and Skills, that's duplication. Better to move skill-related items to Skills and keep other qualifications in Requirements. Let's parse: From Required Qualifications list: - Actively enrolled in an accredited Electrical, Civil, or Mechanical Engineering or related Undergraduate program with an anticipated graduation date of August 2027 or later. (education) - Must be 18 or older. (age) - Demonstrated interest in Consulting Engineering, Electric Utility industry, or related field, and have a strong desire to advance skills related to WSP’s work and projects. (interest) - Competent interpersonal and communication skills when interacting with others, expressing ideas effectively and professionally to an engineering and non‑engineering audience. (skill) - Capable of taking direction from leadership, mentors, and managers to execute projects. (ability) - Basic proficiency with technical writing, office automation, software, spreadsheets, technology, and tools. (skill) - Proven track record of upholding workplace safety and ability to abide by WSP’s health, safety and drug/alcohol and harassment policies. (safety) - Authorization to work in the United States at the start of the internship. (work auth) Preferred: - Actively enrolled in an accredited engineering degree or related Masters program with an anticipated graduation date of August 2027 or later. (education) - Prior internship and leadership involvement on campus. (experience) Thus we could have: Requirements: education (undergrad), age, interest, work auth, safety, ability to take direction? Actually ability to take direction could be skill but we could keep in Requirements. Skills: interpersonal/communication, technical writing/office automation/tools. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: Requirements section: list the mandatory qualifications that are not strictly skills: enrollment, age, interest, work authorization, safety compliance, ability to take direction (maybe considered skill but okay). We'll keep. Skills section: list interpersonal/communication, technical writing, office automation, software, spreadsheets, technology, tools. Preferred qualifications could go under Qualifications section (as preferred). Or we could incorporate into Requirements as "Preferred". But we have a Qualifications heading allowed; we can put preferred there. Thus:

    Now Benefits: we have paragraph about benefits. Let's extract: "WSP provides a flexible and agile workplace model while meeting client needs. Employees are also afforded a comprehensive suite of benefits including medical, dental, vision, disability, life, and retirement savings focused on providing health and financial stability throughout the employee’s career." We can put that in Benefits section as a
