Engineering Intern – Summer 2027
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 (the page already shows it) and 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. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes location, pay, program start, duration, schedule, description (Build Something That Matters...), responsibilities (What You Will Do), gains (What You Will Gain), qualifications (What We Are Looking For), preferred qualifications, physical requirements, what to expect after applying (but that's application instructions? Might be considered boilerplate? It's about hiring process; maybe we can keep as "What to Expect After Applying" but that might be considered application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. The "What to Expect After Applying" includes hiring process details; that could be considered application instructions. Likely we should remove that. Also "About MacLean-Fogg" is company description; could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. Could be "About the company". Not in list of headings but we could use
About MacLean-Fogg
maybe not allowed? The list of headings is examples; we can use other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but likely we should stick to those categories. However we can still use for any section heading; the examples are just suggestions. So we can use headings like "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "Physical Requirements", "Benefits"? Benefits not given. Pay and Schedule we have.
We need to include location, pay, program start, duration, schedule. Could combine location, pay, program start, duration, schedule into a
or maybe separate sections? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we could have Pay
with the pay info. Schedule
with schedule info. Program Start
maybe not in list but okay. Or we could combine program start and duration under a heading like "Program Details". But better to follow examples: we have Pay and Schedule sections. For location maybe we can put in a
before sections. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Location is not minor metadata; it's substantive. Could be its own heading? Not in list but we could use
Location
. That seems fine.
We need to preserve all substantive information: location, pay, program start, duration, schedule, description paragraphs, responsibilities, gains, qualifications, preferred qualifications, physical requirements, maybe "About MacLean-Fogg". Also "Engineering Areas You Could Explore" is a list of areas; that is substantive. Should be included maybe under "Responsibilities" or a separate section like "Engineering Areas". Could be a list.
We must not include boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, accommodations, etc. Also remove "What to Expect After Applying" (application instructions). Also remove "About MacLean-Fogg"? That's company info; not boilerplate; could keep. But maybe it's considered "About the role"? Not exactly. Could keep as a section "About MacLean-Fogg". It's substantive.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details verbatim? Not necessarily verbatim but preserve all substantive information; we can rephrase but must not lose detail. Safer to keep the sentences as is, maybe wrap in .
We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we should use
- . For qualifications list also. For engineering areas list also.
We need to avoid creating sections with filler text. So each heading must have real content.
