We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the job description.
Key info:
- Job Title: Engineering Project Manager (not to be used as heading)
- Posting Start Date: 9/15/26 (metadata, can be folded into short p)
- Position Information Posted Range: $85,000 - $102,000 annually (Pay)
- Base salary range description etc.
- Benefits: comprehensive benefits package including 401(k), Defined Contribution Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, medical, prescription, dental and vision coverage, plus disability, paid time off, life insurance, voluntary benefits, health and wellness programs and much more! Also learning opportunities.
- Primary Role description (About the role)

We need to avoid boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We need to include sections only when there is real specific content.
Potential sections:
- About the role (Primary Role description)
- Responsibilities (Key Accountabilities)
- Requirements (Experience/Education)
- Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? but we can combine? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include both Requirements and Qualifications if distinct. We have Experience/Education and Knowledge/Skills separate. Could map Knowledge/Skills to Skills section. Experience/Education to Requirements (or Qualifications). We'll decide: Requirements = Experience/Education; Qualifications = Certifications & Licenses? Or maybe Qualifications = Certifications & Licenses. But we have also Knowledge/Skills as Skills.
Thus:
. Ensure we capture all.
Let's extract responsibilities from "Key Accountabilities" paragraph:
"Lead the preparation of technical, bidding and contractual documents associated with the delivery of capital investment projects.
Develops technical information and concepts into feasible and effective engineering approaches.
Prepares engineering-led planning reports, data management projects, and/or other special projects focused on water and wastewater system operations and infrastructure management.
Fosters strong working relationships with engineering firms, vendors, and contractors.
Coordinate with field and contract personnel to ensure timely completion of assignments, within budget and adherence to standards.
Ensure that scope and quality of work achieve the intent of all design concepts and company standards for capacity, performance, reliability, safety and regulatory compliance.
Asset Owner satisfaction in accordance with the scope of work agreed upon for each project.
Interacts with Operations personnel to ensure project delivery program meets operations needs and is coordinated with operations personnel on operational impacts related to project delivery program.
Establish project budgets / schedules and manage projects accordingly.
Driving efficiency into project delivery through the monitoring of delivery metrics (unit costs, target costs vs. actual, etc.) and pursuit of more effective delivery and procurement approaches.
Manage multiple projects and perform varied assignments associated with planning, design or construction.
Develop technical information and concepts into feasible and effective project approaches.
Any other special projects and tasks assigned by their team leads or managers."
We need to ensure each is a separate . Some sentences start with verb forms; keep as is.
Now Requirements: Experience/Education paragraph:
"Bachelor’s Degree in Project Management, Construction Management, or related field;.
Relevant work experience in lieu of degree will be considered.
Without a bachelor’s degree, a minimum of 10+ years’ experience in project management focused on Engineering projects, planning, construction, project delivery
Water and/or wastewater experience is a plus.
Demonstrated knowledge of engineering design theory and practice, water resources, project management, construction and contract management, water and wastewater facilities and utility operations.
Knowledge of current trends in water quality and treatment and other aspects of the water industry.
Familiarity with regulatory requirements (commercial and environmental), industry standards, and trends impacting the water industry.
Strong process, project, and program management skills.
Sound business acumen and judgment.
Effective quantitative and analytical skills; attention to detail.
Effective verbal and written communication skills (e.g., report writing, listening, plan reading and creating, and presentation).
Strong interpersonal skills (e.g., tact/diplomacy, persuasion, team building, cooperation, leadership, ability to motivate others."
Note there is duplication with Skills section later; but we need to keep all substantive info. However we must avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't say to deduplicate, but we should not repeat same content verbatim in multiple sections if it's already covered elsewhere? Might be okay but better to avoid redundancy. However the Knowledge/Skills section repeats many of those same items. We could combine them into Skills section and keep Requirements focused on education/experience only. But the posting lists Knowledge/Skills after Experience/Education, which duplicates. To preserve all info, we could include both sections but risk duplication. The instruction says "do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not inventing or summarizing away; it's preserving. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Duplication may create thin sections? Not exactly. But we could merge the overlapping items into Skills and keep Requirements just education/experience. However then we would be summarizing away the duplicate knowledge/skills from Requirements (i.e., omitting them). That would be losing detail. So better to keep them in both sections? But that repeats same content; still preserving all detail, not losing. It's okay albeit redundant. However they might consider that as unnecessary repetition but not prohibited. I'd lean to keep them separate as they appear.
But we also have a separate Skills section later (Knowledge/Skills). Actually the posting has a "Knowledge/Skills" heading then list of items (same as above). Then later "Experience/Education" includes also those same items again (makes duplication). So we can treat Knowledge/Skills as Skills section, and Experience/Education as Requirements (including education/experience plus also the knowledge/skills items). To avoid duplication, we could keep Requirements as education/experience only, and Skills as the knowledge/skills list. But then we would lose the knowledge/skills items from Requirements (they are duplicated in Skills). Since they appear also in Skills, we are not losing them overall. So we can keep them only in Skills section. That satisfies preserving all info (they appear in Skills). The duplication in Experience/Education is redundant; we can omit it because it's already covered in Skills. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; if we omit the duplicate, we still have that info elsewhere, so it's preserved. So it's okay.
Thus:
Requirements: education/experience only.
Skills: knowledge/skills list.
Qualifications: certifications & licenses + driver's license.
Now Benefits: as described.
Pay: salary range.
Schedule: travel requirements.
Now we need to format.
Let's craft About the role paragraph: Use the Primary Role description (first occurrence). It says:
"The Engineering Project Manager is responsible for various project management activities and tasks for water and wastewater utility projects focused on engineering planning, design, bidding, and construction management, or other projects led by the engineering function relating to various aspects of the business.This position is responsible for managing through an extended team the delivery of medium to small capital investment projects from inception to completion, the size and importance of which have a significant impact to company objectives related to production, Networks, and/or other water resource or operations systems.Responsibilities may also include technical partnering and coordination with consulting engineers, technicians, analysts, and/or construction inspectors."
We need to ensure proper spacing; we can keep as is.
Now Responsibilities list: each bullet as above.
Now Requirements paragraph: "Bachelor’s Degree in Project Management, Construction Management, or related field. Relevant work experience in lieu of degree will be considered. Without a bachelor’s degree, a minimum of 10+ years’ experience in project management focused on Engineering projects, planning, construction, project delivery. Water and/or wastewater experience is a plus."
We need to keep the period after "field;" maybe adjust.
Now Qualifications paragraph: "Engineer-in-training (EIT) or Project Management Professional (PMP) certifications strongly preferred. Valid Driver’s License."
Now Skills list: items from Knowledge/Skills:
- Demonstrated knowledge of engineering design theory and practice, water resources, project management, construction and contract management, water and wastewater facilities and utility operations.
- Knowledge of current trends in water quality and treatment and other aspects of the water industry.
- Familiarity with regulatory requirements (commercial and environmental), industry standards, and trends impacting the water industry.
- Strong process, project, and program management skills.
- Sound business acumen and judgment.

We need to ensure each as .
Now Benefits paragraph: "In addition to compensation, you will be offered a comprehensive benefits package including 401(k), Defined Contribution Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, medical, prescription, dental and vision coverage, plus disability, paid time off, life insurance, voluntary benefits, health and wellness programs and much more! American Water is also proud to offer employees learning opportunities and work experiences to grow professionally!"
We can combine.
Now Pay paragraph: "Posted Range: $85,000 - $102,000 annually. The base salary range represents a good faith salary range for this position. This position is eligible for annual incentive pay and has the opportunity for continued salary growth. If you are hired at American Water your base salary compensation will be determined based on factors such as market, geography, skills, education and/or experience.
