We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: 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. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, duplicated lines. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph about JE Dunn: "Best People + Right Culture...". That's about company, maybe "About the role"? Actually role summary: "Role Summary The Estimating Manager 1 will prepare cost estimates for competitive bids and negotiated proposals, develop more economical ways to construct projects and provide comprehensive deliverables for major estimates. This position will be responsible for applying JE Dunn processes and tools to develop project estimates. All activities will be performed in support of the strategy, vision and values of JE Dunn." - Autonomy and Decision Making: "Makes decisions on routine matters, provides recommendations to supervisor and refers all exceptions to supervisor" - Career Path: "Estimating Manager 2" - Key Role Responsibilities - Core ESTIMATING FAMILY - CORE list bullet points. - Key Role Responsibilities - Additional Core ESTIMATING MANAGER 1 list bullet points. - Knowledge, Skills & Abilities list bullet points. - Education: "Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering or related field (Preferred). In lieu of the above requirements, equivalent relevant experience will be considered." - Experience: "3+ years estimating experience. Preference for total of 5+ years construction experience." - Working Environment: list bullet points. - Benefits Information: "The benefits package aligned to this position is Professional Non-Union. Please click the link below for more details. Click here for benefits details." - Then a bunch of boilerplate about application period, EEO, background screening, accommodations, unsolicited resumes, no phone calls, visa sponsorship, etc. Those should be removed. We need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: Could include the intro paragraph about JE Dunn and role summary? Possibly "About the role" includes company description and role summary. We'll include that. - Responsibilities: combine core and additional responsibilities bullet lists. - Requirements: Could include Education and Experience? Usually "Requirements" includes education and experience. We'll put Education and Experience under Requirements. - Qualifications: Could be Knowledge, Skills & Abilities? Or maybe "Qualifications" includes knowledge, skills, abilities. We'll decide. - Skills: Could be separate but we might combine with Qualifications. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education+experience), Qualifications (knowledge, skills, abilities), Benefits. Possibly also Working Environment? Could be part of Requirements or separate? The posting includes Working Environment details; we could include under Requirements or a separate section like "Working Conditions". But we only have allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We don't have Working Environment. Could we put under Requirements? Might be okay. We have no explicit Pay or Schedule info, so we omit those sections. Benefits: we have some info: "The benefits package aligned to this position is Professional Non-Union. Please click the link below for more details. Click here for benefits details." That's specific enough? It mentions benefits package type and a link. We'll include Benefits section with that paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like "Please click the link below for more details. Click here for benefits details." That's maybe okay as it's part of benefits info. It's not navigation/legal. We'll keep. Now we need to format: - Use

for section headings. - Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. - Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Thus we need to strip out: - "This role is expected to accept applications for at least three business days and may continue to be posted until a qualified applicant is selected or the position has been cancelled." - "JE Dunn Construction is committed to hiring and retaining a diverse workforce. We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and it is our policy to provide equal opportunity to all people without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, marital status, veteran status, age, disability, pregnancy, genetic information, citizenship status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other legally protected category." - "JE Dunn Construction is a background screening, drug-free workplace." - "JE Dunn provides reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities. If you would like to request a reasonable accommodation in order to apply for a job, please submit your request to accommodations@jedunn.com" - "JE Dunn Construction Company does not accept unsolicited resumes from search firms or agencies. Any resume submitted to any employee of JE Dunn Construction without a prior written search agreement will be considered unsolicited and the property of JE Dunn Construction Company. Please, no phone calls or emails." - "For this opportunity, JE Dunn Construction will not sponsor an applicant for work visa status or employment authorization, nor will we offer any immigration-related support for this position (including but not limited to H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 STEM OPT, F-1 CPT, J-1, TN-1 or TN-2, E-3, O-1, or future sponsorship for U.S. lawful permanent residence status.)" Also remove duplicated lines like maybe the intro repeated? Not needed. Now we need to craft the HTML. Let's extract substantive content. Intro paragraph: "Best People + Right Culture. These are the driving forces behind JE Dunn’s success. By hiring inspired people, giving them interesting and challenging work, enabling them with innovative tools, and letting them share in the company’s rewards, we’ve found a sustainable way to grow in our industry for the last 100+ years. Our diverse teams around the country strive to enrich lives through inspired people and places everyday, and we need inspired people like you to join us in building authentic partnerships." That's about company; we can put under About the role. Role Summary: "The Estimating Manager 1 will prepare cost estimates for competitive bids and negotiated proposals, develop more economical ways to construct projects and provide comprehensive deliverables for major estimates. This position will be responsible for applying JE Dunn processes and tools to develop project estimates. All activities will be performed in support of the strategy, vision and values of JE Dunn." Autonomy and Decision Making: "Makes decisions on routine matters, provides recommendations to supervisor and refers all exceptions to supervisor" Career Path: "Estimating Manager 2" We could include Autonomy and Career Path under About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably under About the role as part of role description. Now Responsibilities: list bullet points.

    But we need to avoid adding extra markup like unless it's part of content? The instruction didn't forbid using other tags, but we should stick to

    ,
    • ,

      . However we can include bold text inside

      if needed; but maybe better to keep as plain sentences. We could incorporate
