We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro: "Kraus-Anderson offers an opportunity to make an immediate impact with an industry leader! Core Purpose: Building enduring relationships and strong communities Core Values Integrity – Do the right thing…always be respectful, honest and fairCommitment – Take ownership, work hard, and keep promisesTeamwork – Collaborate to foster trust and success for allValue People – Support each other in a safe, positive environment where people are recognized and appreciated for their contributions Our Company For more than a century, Kraus-Anderson has been transforming the American landscape. Founded in 1897 and privately owned and managed by the Engelsma family for more than 70 years, KA is consistently ranked by Engineering News Record among the top 50 general contractors in the United States. Our base of operations in Minnesota is supplemented with regional offices, extending our capabilities coast to coast. We take a highly collaborative approach to our work. We work closely with owners, architects and the entire planning team well before ground is broken; providing cost analyses, scheduling information, and value engineering services to ensure that our client can make informed decisions leading to a timely finish of the highest quality and the best value."
This is about the company, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we have company description. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" heading for company overview and purpose.
Then "Estimating Internship" description: "Kraus-Anderson Construction Company’s Estimating Internship program offers ambitious college students the opportunity to put their knowledge and skills to work in the real world of commercial construction. The Estimating Internship provides students interested in pursuing a career track in Preconstruction/Estimating an opportunity to learn the role. Consideration for full-time employment is contingent on the completion of the program, the quality of work produced, and the amount of interest displayed by the intern."
That could be part of About the role or maybe a separate "Overview". But we can include within About the role.
Then "Responsibilities" heading: we have a block: "Responsibilities The Estimating mentor will provide direction, support and encourage Interns to develop an understanding of the responsibilities associated with the internship assignment. Estimating Interns will be exposed to the following duties as well as accomplish the following goals: Summary: Exposure and experience to the process in which KA delivers construction projects. Universal Goals And Duties Develop an understanding of the responsibilities of a Preconstruction Manager or EstimatorGain exposure to estimating and preconstruction methods and terminology Estimating Participate in the team approach to estimating, bidding, and construction of a projectInteract and understand the relationships between various parties of a construction contract including owners, architects, project managers, subcontractors and suppliersAchieve proficiency in understanding and interpreting plans, specifications, contracts, schedules, and other construction documents and schedulesDemonstrate the ability to assemble and prepare detailed technical documents common to the construction industryDevelop and issue Subcontractor Solicitations/ Invitations to Bid Develop an understanding of public bidding requirements vs private/negotiated subcontractingConduct detailed quantity takeoff across both self-performed and subcontracted scopes of workParticipate in and develop an understanding of subcontractor proposal receipt, review/ “Bid Leveling”Develop an understanding of how both detailed and conceptual cost estimates are structured and assembled."
We need to format as - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to extract each bullet point. The text is a bit run-on; we need to split into separate items.
List items:
- Develop an understanding of the responsibilities of a Preconstruction Manager or Estimator
- Gain exposure to estimating and preconstruction methods and terminology
- Participate in the team approach to estimating, bidding, and construction of a project
- Interact and understand the relationships between various parties of a construction contract including owners, architects, project managers, subcontractors and suppliers
- Achieve proficiency in understanding and interpreting plans, specifications, contracts, schedules, and other construction documents and schedules
- Demonstrate the ability to assemble and prepare detailed technical documents common to the construction industry
- Develop and issue Subcontractor Solicitations/ Invitations to Bid
- Develop an understanding of public bidding requirements vs private/negotiated subcontracting
- Conduct detailed quantity takeoff across both self-performed and subcontracted scopes of work
- Participate in and develop an understanding of subcontractor proposal receipt, review/ “Bid Leveling”
- Develop an understanding of how both detailed and conceptual cost estimates are structured and assembled
Also there is "Summary: Exposure and experience to the process in which KA delivers construction projects." Could be a prose paragraph before list.
Now "Skills, Qualifications, And Experience" heading: we have list:
- Minimum of 1 year education from an accredited college, or university
- Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills
- Proficiency in standard business computer programs and other job-relevant software
- Possess excellent problem solving and multi-tasking skills
- Ability to work efficiently and use critical thinking skills
We need to decide whether to split into Skills and Qualifications sections. The instruction says we can use headings like Skills, Qualifications, Requirements. We have "Skills, Qualifications, And Experience". Could combine into one section "Skills and Qualifications" or separate. Since they are mixed, we could make a single section "Skills and Qualifications". Or we could split: Skills (strong written..., proficiency..., problem solving..., critical thinking) and Qualifications (minimum education). But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe one section "Skills and Qualifications". Use
- .
Then Pay: we have "Pay Range $18.00 to $24.00 hourly While the range listed represents the anticipated hiring range for this position, offers at the upper end of the range are uncommon. Pay is based on many factors including but not limited to education, skill, experience, training, certifications, and other business needs."
Thus we have Pay section with specific numbers. So include
Pay
with containing that info.
Benefits: we have "KA offers limited benefit eligibility to interns working full time (30+ hours) including: Health insurance eligibility as required under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Sick & Safe Time KA University Training and Development Fitness Center, KA corporate headquarters, Minneapolis Free Parking or Metropass (Minneapolis)". Also earlier: "We offer a challenging, rewarding, and supportive environment where employees are positioned to make a positive impact on our business, our communities, and their own future. We believe in building leaders. KA offers a wide range of enrichment and professional growth opportunities through KA University and community service opportunities through our KA Has Heart Volunteer Program." That's also benefits.
Thus we have Benefits section with list.
Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. No schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section.
Also we should not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Estimating Internship". Not to be used as heading.
We need to remove boilerplate: EOE / Vets / Disabled at end, also maybe "Why KA?" section? Actually there is a "Why KA?" paragraph: "Why KA? We offer a challenging, rewarding, and supportive environment where employees are positioned to make a positive impact on our business, our communities, and their own future. We believe in building leaders. KA offers a wide range of enrichment and professional growth opportunities through KA University and community service opportunities through our KA Has Heart Volunteer Program." That's part of benefits/environment. Could be included in Benefits or About the role. Since we already have Benefits, we can incorporate that into Benefits.
Also "Make A Positive Impact" maybe just a tagline.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details like "Core Purpose: Building enduring relationships and strong communities", core values list, company history, etc. Those are substantive. Should we include them in About the role? Yes.
We need to avoid repeating the job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for "Estimating Internship". We'll just have sections.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus final HTML:
