We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraph: "Puget Sound Energy is looking to grow our community..." That's about the role? Could be "About the role". Then "Job Description" paragraph(s). Then "Job Responsibilities" list. Then "Minimum Qualifications" list. Then "Desired Qualifications" list. Then "Additional Information" includes pay range, benefits, etc. We need sections only if real specific content. Pay range is given: $94,300.00 - $156,900.00. Benefits described. So we can have Pay section with that range, Benefits section with list, maybe Schedule? Not given schedule specifics; only mention hybrid work, some flexibility, field work 40-60%, overnight stays maybe. That's schedule info? Could be Schedule section: hybrid work, field work 40-60%, some overnight stays. That's specific enough. So include Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, contact info, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. 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. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content: Intro: "Puget Sound Energy is looking to grow our community with top talented individuals like you! With our rapidly growing, award winning energy efficiency programs, our pathway to an exciting and innovative future is now. PSE's Generation & Natural Gas Storage team is looking for qualified candidates to fill an open Engineer III - Generation Electrical & Controls position! Specific details regarding the work arrangements for this position will be discussed in further detail during the interview process." That's about the role. Job Description paragraph: "Puget Sound Energy’s Generation Electrical & Controls (GEC) department is looking for an Electrical Engineer with experience in Industrial Processes and Controls, Protective Relaying, electrical maintenance, asset management or in closely related fields, to join our team. GEC is a centralized group providing electrical engineering support for all PSE owned generating facilities including hydro, gas turbine, wind, solar and battery storage. This support includes professional engineering services in the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of these facilities. The successful candidate will review and verify complex engineering plans, designs, drawings, specifications, standards, evaluations, and studies utilizing specialized analytical skills. The candidate should possess knowledge of, or must be able to learn, plant electrical and mechanical systems related to power generation and storage. They must be able to communicate successfully with personnel possessing a wide variety of technical backgrounds, and be able to ensure compliance with codes, standards, and design, operation, and maintenance requirements and ensure that problem solutions are tailored to PSE’s business environment. In addition, they will need to provide quick, professional responses to assist generating plant staff with troubleshooting operational problems on complex plant control systems as well as a variety of power generation equipment. The Ideal Candidate Would Have Significant Power Plant Controls Experience." Then "Tasks For This Position Include But Are Not Limited To The Following" list: many items. We need to treat that as responsibilities? Actually there is a separate "Job Responsibilities" section later with list. The tasks list could be considered responsibilities as well. But we have both. To avoid duplication, we should merge? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. The tasks list and job responsibilities list may have overlapping content but not exact duplicates. We should keep both? Might be considered duplicated if they cover same. Safer to keep both as separate sections? But we have only one "Job Responsibilities" heading allowed. Could combine tasks under responsibilities. However the tasks list is under "Tasks For This Position Include But Are Not Limited To The Following". That is essentially responsibilities. The later "Job Responsibilities" list is more generic. To avoid duplication, we could merge them into one responsibilities list, preserving all items from both, removing exact duplicates. Let's extract tasks list items: - Support commissioning and troubleshoot operational issues related to wind and solar generation (primary function), instrumentation, PLCs, DCSs, SCADA, and various power generation equipment. - Propose recommendations for control system upgrades, component replacements and design improvements. - Manage projects from inception to project close-out including: create the project scope, budget and schedule, support construction and installation phases, lead commissioning and initial start-up, ensure successful implementation and accurate documentation, development of maintenance plans and plant procedures. - Prepare specifications and request-for-proposals as well as evaluate proposals from vendors. - Evaluate the condition of critical electrical components; specify new and replacement components as required. - Design and/or modify HMIs, PLC, and DCS logic using various programming methods, including ladder logic, structured text and function block “languages”. - Creating or modifying P&IDs, loop drawings, schematics and wiring diagrams. - Mentor and train other engineers and technicians. - Support emergency response work as requested including immediate and extended restoration efforts driven by weather or other system failures. - Validate NERC compliance and develop/execute action plans to close compliance gaps. - Perform Arc Flash studies and develop reports. Now Job Responsibilities list: - Interprets and/or modifies available guidelines for application to existing problems or processes. - Reviews and verifies complex designs, standards, studies and analyses. - Provides a detailed design review of internal or external technical documents. - Prepares cost estimates and project evaluations without direct supervision. - Plans and develops project budgets with appropriate documentation. - Ensures compliance with codes, standards, and design, operation, and maintenance requirements. - Identifies potential areas of weakness with assigned work and initiate corrective action. - Documents and shares work with others to strengthen the depth of skills within PSE’s engineering workforce. - Communicates solutions to personnel possessing a wide variety of educational and employment backgrounds, including in public forums in both verbal and written forms. - Ensures that problem solutions are tailored to PSE’s business environment. - Supports emergency response work as requested including immediate and extended restoration efforts driven by weather and other system failures. - May lead or coordinate the work of junior engineers, engineering assistants, field technicians, and others who assist on specific projects. (This includes contractor/consultants.) - Performs job duties at various PSE generating sites and requires employees operate a vehicle up to eight hours per day while maintaining a clean driving record free of moving violations. - Traverse at least one mile per day over uneven ground, with or without reasonable accommodation. - In order to access equipment, must climb and descend wind turbine generators, stairs, ladders, and temporary scaffolding, with or without reasonable accommodation. We need to keep all. Some items overlap: e.g., "Supports emergency response work..." appears in both. Also "Ensures compliance with codes, standards..." appears in both. We should deduplicate exact same sentences. Let's identify duplicates: Tasks list includes: "Support emergency response work as requested including immediate and extended restoration efforts driven by weather or other system failures." Job Responsibilities includes: "Supports emergency response work as requested including immediate and extended restoration efforts driven by weather and other system failures." Slight difference: "Support" vs "Supports", "or" vs "and". Not exact duplicate but similar. We could keep both but might be considered duplication. Safer to keep both? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. These are not exact duplicates, but similar meaning. Might be considered duplicate content. Hard to judge. I'd keep both but maybe we can merge by keeping one version. To be safe, I'd keep the more detailed from tasks list? The tasks list includes "Support emergency response work as requested including immediate and extended restoration efforts driven by weather or other system failures." The responsibilities list includes similar but with "and". I'd keep the tasks list version (since it's under tasks). But we also need to keep responsibilities list items that are not in tasks list. Similarly, "Ensures compliance with codes, standards, and design, operation, and maintenance requirements." appears in tasks list? Not exactly. Tasks list includes "ensure that problem solutions are tailored to PSE’s business environment." Not same. Responsibilities list includes that line. So keep. Now Minimum Qualifications list: - Bachelor of Science degree or PE license in electrical, mechanical, civil or other appropriate engineering field. A PE license may qualify in lieu of a degree. - Substantial experience in planning, design, specification preparation, technical field work, project cost estimating and scheduling (typically achieved after five (5) or more years practice as a degreed engineer). Years of acquired experience is provided as a guide and alone does not constitute readiness for job level as individual’s skill acquisition rates can vary significantly. - Demonstrated organization, documentation, prioritization, and project management skills. - Strong interpersonal and communication skills. Desired Qualifications list: - Experience working in wind or solar generation. - Experience with Low and Medium Voltage electrical systems. - Solar and Wind site asset maintenance and inspection experience. - Experience with Low Voltage electrical studies including Arc Flash and low voltage protection coordination. - Protective Relay experience, both electrical design and settings, as well as related NERC compliance. - Possession of, or ability to acquire, a Professional Engineering license. - Experience working on complex engineering projects. - Industrial Controls along with SEL RTAC experience; Industrial Networking and NERC compliance experience a plus - Knowledge of and experience with computer networking, firewalls, architecture, protocols, routers, and controllers - Experience with MET towers is a plus. Additional Information includes pay range, benefits, etc. Pay range: "The pay range for this position is $94,300.00 - $156,900.00, and this position is eligible for annual goals based incentive bonuses." Benefits: "PSE offers a suite of benefits to our employees. Employees are eligible for medical, dental, vision, basic life, and short- and long-term disability insurance. There are additional voluntary options of supplemental life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, flexible spending accounts for health care and dependent daycare, and an Employee assistance program (EAP). For long term savings, PSE offers a 401(k) investment option and a cash balance retirement plan. Employees will also receive Paid Time Off (PTO) and Paid Holidays throughout the calendar year. Detailed benefit overviews can be found on our Career page - Why Work For Us (pse.com)." Schedule/hybrid work: "The work will consist of a mix of field and office responsibilities in central and southeast Washington State as well as the Billings, Montana area, primarily in support of various wind and solar projects. The field work typically ranges from 40-60 percent of the total depending upon assignments and takes place at the various PSE generating locations. Some overnight stays may be necessary when working at distant locations. This is a hybrid work position with some flexibility in selecting an office location." Also mention "This job is considered “safety sensitive” as defined in RCW 49.44.240 and is subject to pre-employment drug screening that includes screening for the presence of marijuana and marijuana metabolites." That's also info but maybe not a section; could be included in Additional Information or a note. It's substantive. Could be part of Additional Information paragraph. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO statement, contact info, etc. Remove those. Now structure:

    About the role

    Intro paragraph.

    Job Description

    Job description paragraph(s). Could be multiple paragraphs but we can combine into one

    with line breaks? Better to keep as one

    containing the whole description. However there are multiple sentences; it's okay.
