We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings present: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. The posting includes: Job Description (intro), Your Impact (list of responsibilities), Who You Are (Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications), About WSP (company info). There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not create those sections. We need headings: maybe "About the role" corresponds to the introductory paragraph? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings if present. The posting includes: "Job Description This Opportunity ..." maybe that's about the role. Then "Your Impact" is responsibilities. Then "Who You Are" includes Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Then "About WSP" is company info, maybe not needed but could be part of About the role? Probably we can treat "About WSP" as not needed; but we could include as a separate section? The instruction says only include sections when posting has real specific content for it. The posting does have content about WSP (company description). Could map to "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; we have a description of the opportunity. So we can put that under
.

WSP USA (and all of its U.S. companies) is an Equal Opportunity Employer Race/Age/Color/Religion/Sex/Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity/National Origin/Disability or Protected Veteran Status. The selected candidate must be authorized to work in the United States. NOTICE TO THIRD PARTY AGENCIES: WSP does not accept unsolicited resumes from recruiters, employment agencies, or other staffing services. Unsolicited resumes include any resume or hiring document sent to WSP in the absence of a signed Service Agreement where WSP has expressly requested recruitment/staffing services specific to the position at hand. Any unsolicited resumes, including those submitted to hiring managers or other business leaders, will become the property of WSP and WSP will have the right to hire that candidate without reservation – no fee or other compensation will be owed or paid to the recruiter, employment agency, or other staffing service."
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, legal, navigation, cookie, duplicated lines, application instructions. The About WSP includes EEO statement and notice to third party agencies, which are boilerplate. We should remove those. Also remove the "Are you ready to get started?" maybe not boilerplate but it's a call to action; could be considered application instruction? It's not exactly instruction to apply but it's a prompt. Safer to remove? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Are you ready to get started?" is not exactly an application instruction but could be considered a call to action; but it's not a direct instruction to apply. Might be okay to keep? However it's somewhat promotional. I'd keep the core company description but remove the EEO and notice. Also remove the website URL? It's not boilerplate but could be kept. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; the URL is substantive? Might be considered contact info; but it's not essential. I'd keep it.
Thus we need to strip:
- "WSP USA (and all of its U.S. companies) is an Equal Opportunity Employer Race/Age/Color/Rel
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings if present. The posting includes: "Job Description This Opportunity ..." maybe that's about the role. Then "Your Impact" is responsibilities. Then "Who You Are" includes Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Then "About WSP" is company info, maybe not needed but could be part of About the role? Probably we can treat "About WSP" as not needed; but we could include as a separate section? The instruction says only include sections when posting has real specific content for it. The posting does have content about WSP (company description). Could map to "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; we have a description of the opportunity. So we can put that under About the role
. Then responsibilities under Responsibilities
. Then qualifications under Requirements
and maybe Qualifications
for preferred? But we have both required and preferred. Could combine under Requirements? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have one section for Requirements/Qualifications combining required and preferred. Or we could have two: Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). Since they are distinct, we could do both. But we need to avoid filler. Both have real content. So we can include both.
Skills: not explicitly listed; there are skills mentioned within responsibilities and qualifications (technical writing, communication, project management). Could we create a Skills section? The posting does not have a dedicated "Skills" heading, but we could extract skills from the text. However instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. If we create a Skills section, we need to have specific content. We could list skills like "technical writing and communication", "project management", "regulatory knowledge", etc. That is specific. But is that inventing? It's derived from the posting. Might be okay. However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding Skills may be thin. Better to incorporate skills into Responsibilities or Requirements. So we skip Skills section.
Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present, so omit.
