We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.

Intro paragraph: "At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good. Your impact We are seeking an Environmental Permitting Professional to support the planning, permitting, and delivery of electric transmission projects. This role will help secure environmental approvals and maintain regulatory compliance across project phases, from early routing and feasibility through construction, restoration, and closeout. The successful candidate will demonstrate sound judgment, strong organizational and communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively across engineering, environmental, regulatory, real estate, legal, and stakeholder-engagement disciplines."
Then list of core functions (responsibilities). Then "Here's what you'll need" (requirements). Then "Ideally, You'll Also Have" (preferred qualifications). Then benefits paragraph. Then salary range. Then EEO etc (remove). Then other text about hybrid etc (maybe schedule? Not explicit schedule). There's mention of hybrid working policy, allowing split work week between offices/projects and remote locations. That's schedule info? Could be considered schedule (hybrid). Also mention unlimited PPTO etc. That's benefits.
We need sections: About the role (intro). Responsibilities (core functions). Requirements (basic qualifications). Qualifications (preferred). Skills (maybe combine? But we have both requirements and qualifications; we could treat "Requirements" as mandatory, "Qualifications" as preferred). Skills maybe not needed if not explicit separate list. Could combine skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we need to follow instruction: use headings only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Schedule? There's hybrid working policy and unlimited PPTO etc. That's more about benefits/work arrangement. Could treat as Schedule? Not exactly schedule (hours). Might not include Schedule if no explicit schedule like "full-time", "part-time", "shift". The posting mentions hybrid working policy, unlimited PPTO, seven paid holidays, caregiver leave. That's benefits. So we may omit Schedule.
We must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details.

We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need
- . For requirements list (bullet points), also
- . For qualifications list (preferred), also
- . For benefits list, also
- . For pay, we can use
with salary range.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not needed.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract sections.
About the role: The first paragraph(s) up to before "Core functions of the job may include". Actually the intro includes "Your impact We are seeking...". We'll combine into a paragraph.
Responsibilities: The list after "Core functions of the job may include" each line starts with a verb. We'll capture each as
- .
Requirements: After "Here's what you'll need" bullet list: Bachelor’s degree..., 4–8 years..., Demonstrated professional experience..., Advanced ability..., Strong written..., Proven ability..., Proficiency..., Ability and willingness..., A valid driver’s license... We'll capture each as
- .
Qualifications (Ideally, You'll Also Have): bullet list: Direct experience permitting..., Deep experience..., Comprehensive familiarity..., Strong working knowledge..., Experience with..., Experience leading..., Relevant professional registrations... We'll capture each as
- .
Skills: Not separate; maybe we could combine some skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we have a heading "Skills" only if there is specific content. Could we treat the "Strong written and verbal communication skills" etc as skills? But they are already in Requirements. Might be redundant. Safer to omit Skills heading if no distinct list.
Benefits: Paragraph: "Our health and welfare benefits are designed to invest in you, and in the things you care about. Your health. Your well-being. Your security. Your future. Employees have access to medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance, a 401(k) plan, and the ability to purchase company stock at a discount. Eligible employees may also enroll in a deferred compensation plan or the Executive Deferral Plan. Jacobs has an unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) policy for full-time salaried/exempt employees, seven paid holidays, and caregiver leave. And certain roles may be eligible for additional rewards, including merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, and stock."
We can turn into list items: medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance; 401(k) plan; ability to purchase company stock at a discount; deferred compensation plan; Executive Deferral Plan; unlimited PPTO; seven paid holidays; caregiver leave; merit increases; performance discretionary bonus; stock. Could keep as prose but instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should list benefits as
- . We'll break into items.
Pay: The base salary range: $75,300.00 to $117,600.00. Also note within range determined by location etc. We'll include that in
.
Schedule: Not explicit; we have hybrid working policy allowing split work week between offices/projects and remote locations. That's more about work arrangement; could be considered schedule? Might be considered schedule but not explicit hours. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state hybrid working policy, which is about schedule/location. Could treat as Schedule section. However we already have Benefits covering PPTO etc. The hybrid policy is about work location flexibility. Might be better to include as Schedule: "Hybrid working policy allowing split work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations." We'll include as
under Schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, job posted date, etc.

Check that we haven't missed any substantive content: The mention of "Where assigned as a Permitting Professional, the employee works under the direction of a Permitting Lead." That's a detail about supervision. Could be included in Responsibilities or About the role. Might add to Responsibilities as a bullet? It's not a duty but a reporting line. Could add as a bullet under Responsibilities: "Works under the direction of a Permitting Lead when assigned as a Permitting Professional." We'll include.
Also "The role combines office-based project coordination with periodic travel and field work. Field activities may involve walking over uneven terrain, exposure to variable weather and construction conditions, and compliance with site-specific safety requirements." That's also responsibility/detail. Could add to Responsibilities.
Also "Your impact We are seeking..." we already captured.
Also "At Jacobs, we’re partnering across the globe to create the best project outcomes by maximizing the design, digital technology, and support capabilities of our Global Integrated Delivery (GID) teammates. By joining Jacobs, you’ll commit to supporting and engaging with these teams, as we work to build a company like no other. We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work." This is about culture/hybrid; we used hybrid for Schedule. The rest about partnering across globe etc is boilerplate? Might be considered generic but still substantive about company. Could be included in About the role? Might be considered fluff but it's still content. However instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered generic marketing. Might keep in About the role? It's not directly about the role. Safer to omit as it's not specific to the role. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." This is substantive but maybe not role-specific. However it's about company culture; could be considered part of About the role. I'd include a brief paragraph about Jacobs' commitment to collaboration and hybrid working policy (already used). But we already used hybrid for Schedule. Could mention collaboration in About the role.
Given limited time, I'll include a concise About the role paragraph that captures the initial impact statement and maybe mention collaboration.
Let's craft About the role paragraph:
