Estimator
NS BlueScope · Spokane, WA · 3 wk ago
$72k–$86k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have company description, purpose, primary duties & responsibilities, qualifications, salary range, benefits, arbitration notice, additional info, EEO etc. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should remove EEO, arbitration notice? Arbitration notice is legal boilerplate; likely remove. Additional Information maybe generic; but we can keep if substantive? It says "Additional Information The preceding job responsibilities..." that's generic boilerplate; remove. Benefits: we have mention of health and welfare benefits and 401(k) match, also later "benefits are just as rewarding..." but that's generic; we can keep benefits section with specifics: health and welfare benefits, 401(k) match, targeted annual bonus 15%. Also mention health insurance, life insurance, short and long-term disability, paid time off, retirement (from later). However that later part is generic but still benefits; we can include but ensure not filler. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits: health and welfare benefits, 401(k) match, targeted annual bonus 15%, also later list health insurance etc. So we can include Benefits section with those details.
Pay/Salary: we have Salary Range: $72,225 - $85,805 annually, plus targeted annual bonus 15%. So we can create Pay section.
Schedule: we have hybrid role, in office 3 days per week. So Schedule section.
We need headings: About the role? Could use "About the role" for company description and purpose? Or we could have sections: About the role (company description + purpose), Responsibilities (Primary Duties & Responsibilities), Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Avoid repeating job title as heading. Do not put Job ID.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific salary range, so okay.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties list items as
- . Also qualifications list.
We need to remove duplicated lines: there may be duplicate sentences; we need to ensure not duplicate.
Let's extract content:
Company Description: "Coated Products North America (CPNA) is part of the BlueScope group of companies located in 12 countries and employs over 14,000 employees.

Schedule: hybrid role, in office 3 days per week. Position open in: Spokane, WA, Tacoma, WA, or West Sacramento, CA. So schedule includes location options? Might be under Schedule or maybe a separate "Location". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Could put location under About the role or Schedule? Schedule heading is for schedule; location maybe part of About the role. We'll include location in About the role paragraph.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading "Estimator". We'll start with About the role.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for section headings. Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (company description + purpose + location?), Responsibilities (Primary Duties & Responsibilities), Qualifications (minimum & preferred), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not include Requirements or Skills unless we have specific content; we have qualifications, could treat as Qualifications. We could also split into Requirements (minimum) and Skills (preferred) but we have Qualifications heading allowed. We'll use Qualifications. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Now craft HTML:
