We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes mission statement etc. We need headings for sections present: About the role (maybe from description), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (list), Benefits And Compensation (salary and benefits). Also maybe Core Values? Could be a section but not required; we can include if substantive. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Core Values is present with bullet-like sentences; could be a section "Core Values". But we need to decide. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Core Values into About the role or separate? Might be better to have About the role (mission), Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits And Compensation. Core Values could be part of About the role. We'll not create separate Core Values heading unless we think it's substantive enough. Probably okay to include as a section "Core Values". But we need to avoid thin sections. It's a few sentences; could be okay. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. Remove application instructions (none). Remove cookie/navigation/legal etc. We need to use

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

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. So include mission statement, remote eligibility, travel expectation, duties list, requirements list, core values, benefits and compensation details (salary range, discretionary pay, benefits list). Also note base salary range etc. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep exact phrasing? We can paraphrase but must preserve all info. Safer to copy sentences. Let's extract: About the role / mission: "Be a Part of Something that Matters At WECC, we enhance the lives of 90 million people by identifying and mitigating risks to the bulk power system in the West. To help us deliver on our mission of a highly reliable and secure bulk power system in the Western Interconnection, we are seeking an Energy Attorney to help us further our mission and achieve our business goals. The Energy Attorney assists in protecting the legal interests of the organization and ensures that the organization’s operations are within the scope of the law and its governing documents, including its Bylaws and Delegation Agreement. This position provides legal counsel to all levels and all parts of the organization on a wide variety of legal issues. While WECC's headquarters are located in Salt Lake City, Utah, this position is remote eligible for candidates residing in the Lower 48 states. Time spent traveling is expected to be a minimum of 5–10% for this role, though business needs may require additional travel on occasion." Responsibilities: bullet list after "You will—" then many items separated by periods? Actually they are sentences concatenated without spaces? Let's parse: "You will— Provide legal advice and support to all WECC departments and employees on a wide variety of legal issues.Provide legal support on WECC’s contract and procurement activities, including drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts and other procurement documentsProvide legal advice on WECC’s reliability standard development, compliance monitoring and enforcement, and reliability assessment activities.Provide legal advice on the identification, protection, and sharing of confidential information.Provide legal advice on the governance of WECC consistent with its corporate governance documents (e.g., bylaws, delegation agreement, rules of procedure, etc.).

Each sentence starts with a capital letter after a period? There's missing spaces after periods but we can infer. We'll create

    • items for each distinct duty. List them: 1. Provide legal advice and support to all WECC departments and employees on a wide variety of legal issues. 2. Provide legal support on WECC’s contract and procurement activities, including drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts and other procurement documents. 3. Provide legal advice on WECC’s reliability standard development, compliance monitoring and enforcement, and reliability assessment activities. 4. Provide legal advice on the identification, protection, and sharing of confidential information. 5.

Provide legal support to WECC’s technical and other committees. 9. Provide legal support to audits of WECC’s regulatory activities and in other areas. 10. Monitor and analyze emerging policy, regulatory, reliability, and market rule developments affecting the Western Interconnection. Requirements: after "Requirements You will enjoy this role if you—" then list items separated by periods? Let's extract: "You will enjoy this role if you— Have a Juris Doctorate from an American Bar Association accredited law school and are licensed to practice law in a least one U.S. state.Have a minimum of three years’ experience practicing as an attorney in areas of law related to utilities, energy, regulation, compliance, or a related field or as in-house counsel.

Possess strong computer literacy and proficiency using PCs, including a working knowledge of common applications such as those in the Microsoft Office Suite.Understand and adhere to sound principles of cybersecurity, including protecting sensitive information, using secure passwords, and following organizational cybersecurity protocols." We need to split into list items. List: - Have a Juris Doctorate from an American Bar Association accredited law school and are licensed to practice law in at least one U.S. state. - Have a minimum of three years’ experience practicing as an attorney in areas of law related to utilities, energy, regulation, compliance, or a related field or as in-house counsel. - Have a strong background in energy policy. - Have experience analyzing and summarizing complex information for business and management audiences. - Have experience preparing reports, summaries, presentations, and briefing materials. - Possess strong analytical and critical thinking skills. - Can interpret and synthesize complex policy, regulatory, and technical information. - Have strong written communication skills with the ability to create concise executive summaries. - Can convey technical subject matter in understandable business terms. - Have strong research and information-gathering capabilities. - Can identify trends, emerging risks, and strategic implications. - Possess strong computer literacy and proficiency using PCs, including a working knowledge of common applications such as those in the Microsoft Office Suite. - Understand and adhere to sound principles of cybersecurity, including protecting sensitive information, using secure passwords, and following organizational cybersecurity protocols. Core Values: after "Our Core Values" then sentences: "Our people and our work matter.Everyone is invited to be a leader.Independence, perspective, and partnership are how we add value.Intellectual curiosity, empowerment, and accountability fuel meaningful results.Continuous improvement and innovation are essential.We act with intention and focused urgency in everything we do." We can make a
      • list or just

        . Since it's a list of values, we can use

        • . But instruction: use
          • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Core values could be considered a list; we can use
            • . It's okay. Benefits And Compensation: after "Benefits And Compensation" then paragraph about salary range and benefits. We need to include salary range: "The base salary range for this full-time position is $111,200–$139,000 + discretionary pay + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role and level. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and mid-point for the position across all locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter will share more details during the hiring process. WECC offers an excellent benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, health reimbursement and flexible spending accounts, a 401(k) plan, and generous paid personal time." Also there is a Salary Description line at end: "Salary Description $111,200–$139,000 + discretionary pay + benefits". That's duplicate; we can ignore duplicate. We must not include boilerplate like Equal Opportunity Employer etc. Remove that. Now construct HTML:
