We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: "The Opportunity PAE is seeking a motivated Entry-Level Mechanical Engineer to join our design team in a hybrid office environment in Portland. This role is designed for a proactive individual eager to build a foundation in building systems, including HVAC, Plumbing, and Fire Protection. Under the guidance of experienced project leads, you will transition from theoretical engineering concepts to practical, real-world applications, learning to design system layouts, perform complex thermal simulations, and navigate the intricacies of building codes and industry standards." That's about the role. "Who We Are PAE is an engineering and design firm that turns complex challenges into reality. By leveraging the latest technologies, we solve problems in unique ways, and our designs enable buildings and communities to be more resilient and efficient. PAE is trusted by our clients in every aspect of a project's lifespan, from idea to occupancy. We set ambitious goals backed by analysis to significantly conserve water and energy while balancing costs and long-term operational needs. As a B Corp, we measure success by the benefits our projects provide to our clients, our communities, and our planet. We embrace innovation, transparency, sustainability, and lifelong curiosity." That's about the company, maybe not needed as a section? Could be "About the company" but not listed. We only have set headings. Could put under "About the role"? Might be okay to include as part of role description? But we have to preserve all substantive info. Could create a section "About the company" but not allowed headings list. The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are the allowed headings. Probably we should only use those headings. So we need to map content to those sections. "About the role": include the first paragraph about opportunity, hybrid office, building systems, etc. "Responsibilities": list duties from "What You'll Do". That includes bullet-like sentences. "Requirements": maybe "What You Bring" includes Bachelor's degree, EIT, internship preferred, ability to develop Revit/AutoCAD, TRACE, IES, strong analytical skills, etc. Could be requirements. "Qualifications": maybe overlapping; but we can separate: Qualifications could be education, certifications. Requirements could be skills/experience. But we need to avoid duplication. Could put education in Qualifications, and skills in Skills. However we have both Skills and Qualifications headings. Let's decide: - Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Engineer in Training (E.I.T.) or ability to obtain, Internship experience preferred. - Skills: Ability to develop understanding of Revit/AutoCAD, TRACE, IES; Strong analytical skills, strategic thinking; Passionate about results; Organization; Clear communication; Attention to detail; Time management; Microsoft Office Suite. But also "Ability to develop an understanding of Revit/AutoCAD, TRACE, IES" is skill. "Benefits": list from "What We Offer": health insurance, 401k profit sharing, professional development reimbursements, commuter/parking stipend, cell phone stipend, life insurance, disability benefits, hybrid work schedule, Employee Assistance Program, 9 paid holidays plus additional employee-selected day, PTO for sick leave, family leave, community service, holidays, vacation. Also link to benefits page. "Pay": Hiring Base Salary Range: $68,600 - $82,800 annual; eligible for time and a half overtime pay; base salary component of compensation; annual compensation reviews; note about range. "Schedule": Hybrid work schedule mentioned; also maybe "Hybrid office environment". So schedule: Hybrid work schedule. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, JUST label, etc. Also remove "Fine Print" about recruiters, equal employment, etc. Also remove "What We’re Made Of" company history? That's substantive but not under allowed headings. Could we include under "About the role"? Might be okay to include as part of role description? But it's about company history, not role. However we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit it, we violate. But we cannot create a heading not in list. Could we incorporate it into "About the role" as a paragraph? That would be mixing company info with role, but still preserving. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to include that info somewhere. We could add a section "About the company" but not allowed headings? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't explicitly forbid other headings, but suggests those are examples. Safer to stick to those headings only. Could we put company info under "About the role"? It's not about the role but we could still include as a paragraph; it's still substantive. Might be acceptable. Alternatively, we could create a section "About the company" using

but not in list; risk of being considered not following instruction. Better to follow instruction strictly: only those headings. Thus we will embed company info in "About the role" or maybe "Qualifications"? Not appropriate. Let's put in "About the role" after the initial description. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce:

Similarly for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not include empty sections. Let's extract details. About the role paragraph: "The Opportunity PAE is seeking a motivated Entry-Level Mechanical Engineer to join our design team in a hybrid office environment in Portland. This role is designed for a proactive individual eager to build a foundation in building systems, including HVAC, Plumbing, and Fire Protection. Under the guidance of experienced project leads, you will transition from theoretical engineering concepts to practical, real-world applications, learning to design system layouts, perform complex thermal simulations, and navigate the intricacies of building codes and industry standards." Add company info: "PAE is an engineering and design firm that turns complex challenges into reality. By leveraging the latest technologies, we solve problems in unique ways, and our designs enable buildings and communities to be more resilient and efficient. PAE is trusted by our clients in every aspect of a project's lifespan, from idea to occupancy. We set ambitious goals backed by analysis to significantly conserve water and energy while balancing costs and long-term operational needs. As a B Corp, we measure success by the benefits our projects provide to our clients, our communities, and our planet. We embrace innovation, transparency, sustainability, and lifelong curiosity." Combine into one or two paragraphs. Responsibilities (What You'll Do): List items: - Develop an understanding of mechanical system design, modeling and documentation - Develop proficiency using Revit and AutoCAD as design/drafting tools - Grow in the ability to read plans - Provide task-based support for engineering distribution, HVAC, Plumbing, Fire Protection and Energy Modeling - Develop an understanding of drawings, specifications, building codes, and mechanical industry standards - Complete assigned work with instruction from project team members - Assist with construction administration - Perform mechanical calculations and performance simulations - Design layout of mechanical systems - Perform other duties as assigned We'll put each as
  • . Requirements: maybe "What You Bring" includes: - Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering for discipline work - Engineer in Training (E.I.T.) or ability to obtain - Internship experience preferred - Ability to develop an understanding of Revit/AutoCAD, TRACE, IES - Strong analytical skills, strategic thinking - Passionate about results - Organization - Clear communication - Attention to detail - Time management - Microsoft Office Suite But some of these are skills. We'll split: Requirements: education and certification; Skills: abilities. Thus Requirements: - Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering for discipline work - Engineer in Training (E.I.T.) or ability to obtain - Internship experience preferred Qualifications: maybe none left? Could be "Ability to develop an understanding of Revit/AutoCAD, TRACE, IES" but that's skill. Could treat Qualifications as same as Requirements? Might be redundant. But we need to include a section only if posting has real specific content. We have content for Qualifications? Not explicitly. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we must not create empty sections. So we could omit Qualifications if no distinct content. However we have "Ability to develop an understanding of Revit/AutoCAD, TRACE, IES" which could be qualification. But it's also skill. Let's decide to put that under Skills. Thus we may omit Qualifications section. Skills: - Ability to develop an understanding of Revit/AutoCAD, TRACE, IES - Strong analytical skills, strategic thinking - Passionate about results - Organization - Clear communication - Attention to detail - Time management - Microsoft Office Suite Benefits: List: - Employer paid health insurance (medical, dental, vision) - Annual 401k profit sharing based on company profit for the year and account contribution - Professional development reimbursements including state registration and professional association dues - Employer paid commuter/parking stipend - Cell phone stipend - Life insurance and disability benefits - Hybrid work schedule - Employee Assistance Program - 9 paid holidays including an additional employee-selected day - Paid time off for sick leave, family leave, community service, holidays and vacation - Link to benefits page: https://www.pae-engineers.com/careers/benefits Pay: - Hiring Base Salary Range: $68,600 - $82,800 annual - This position is eligible for time and a half overtime pay - The base salary is one component of PAE’s competitive compensation package for employees. We take into consideration a variety of factors including but not limited to skills, abilities, experience, education, credentials, internal equity and geographic location in determining exact salary offered. - At PAE, employees are eligible for annual compensation reviews based on performance and business needs. - The above range represents PAE's good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of possible compensation at the time of posting. Schedule: - Hybrid work schedule (mentioned in benefits and earlier). Could just state: Hybrid work schedule. We should not include boilerplate like "This information is provided per the Equal Pay Act", "Our commitment to pay equity", JUST label, etc. Also remove "What We’re Made Of" company history? We already included some in About the role. The rest about founding, LEED projects, etc. That's substantive company info not yet included. We need to preserve it. Could add to About the role as additional paragraph. Thus About the role will include: - Opportunity paragraph - Who We Are paragraph (the company description) - Additional company info: "Founded in 1967, PAE is a leading sustainable engineering and consulting firm on a mission to deliver clean air, energy, and water for all. We specialize in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering, building performance analysis, technology design, and lighting design (LUMA).
