We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the job description. Content: - Opening: "Candidate will be working for the SPW Earthworks Group. Experience with HCSS HeavyBid/HeavyJob, Agtek, AutoCad, and other civil estimating programs preferred." - Then some fluff about DPR: "At DPR, roles and responsibilities are more than describing a job title—they are a commitment to building great things together. The job description(s) below defines core responsibilities and the scope of the role and is a starting point. Every employee is expected to lead from where they are, take ownership of outcomes, and always act in the best interest of the team, customer, project and organization. As a purpose-driven organization on a journey to be most admired, we rely on trust, shared leadership, open communication, disciplined action and a deep respect for the individual to drive exceptional performance. Success is not just about what we build, but who we build and how we build it: with integrity, enjoyment, uniqueness and an ever-forward mindset." That seems like generic company culture; maybe we can include as "About the role" or maybe not needed? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. The generic culture may be considered filler; but we could put under "About the role". However "About the role" could be a short paragraph summarizing role. The posting includes "Job Summary" and "Key Responsibilities". So we can have sections: About the role (maybe from Job Summary), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements (Education Qualifications, Work Experience, Certifications And Licenses), Skills (Experience with HCSS HeavyBid/HeavyJob, Agtek, AutoCad, and other civil estimating programs preferred), Benefits (medical, dental, vision and wellness benefits), Pay (Anticipated Starting Pay Range $100,000.00- $130,000.00), Schedule (none mentioned). So we should not include Schedule because no content. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". So we need to ensure each section has substantive content. Let's extract specifics: Job Summary: "Prepares detailed and accurate Self-Perform Work (SPW) cost estimates that support project planning, bidding, and operational decision-making. Applies technical knowledge of materials, labor, and production methods to evaluate SPW scopes across multiple trades. Collaborates with project, field, and operations teams to ensure estimates reflect realistic production rates, current market conditions, and risk assessments. Contributes to the continuous improvement of SPW estimating tools and data management practices." Key Responsibilities list bullet points (we need to convert to
  • ). Let's list them: - Prepares comprehensive SPW cost estimates, integrating material, labor, equipment, and production data for multiple scopes. - Analyzes drawings, models, and specifications to validate quantities, identify risks, and confirm scope completeness. - Collaborates with field leaders, engineers, and project teams to verify production rates and align estimates with execution plans. - Coordinates with procurement teams to evaluate vendor and supplier pricing for SPW materials and equipment, levelling supplier and trade partner bids for SPW work, ensuring that all proposals are consistent with project assumptions and identifying any variances. - Develops variance analyses and cost studies to support value engineering and constructability discussions. - Coordinates with scheduling and operations teams to ensure SPW scope aligns with phasing, access, and sequencing plans, and maintains historical cost and production data to support continuous improvement in estimating accuracy. - Communicates estimate assumptions, findings, and recommendations clearly to project stakeholders, and identifies SPW-related risks, constraints, and uncertainties and incorporates appropriate allowances or contingencies in partnership with operations teams. Education Qualifications: "Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, architecture, or a related field, or equivalent experience required." Work Experience: "4–6 years of experience in estimating, preconstruction, or cost analysis for self-perform or construction projects required." Certifications And Licenses: "None required." Skills: "Experience with HCSS HeavyBid/HeavyJob, Agtek, AutoCad, and other civil estimating programs preferred." Benefits: "Nothing is more important than your health and wellness. DPR offers a variety of medical, dental, vision and wellness benefits to keep you healthy. Read more about eligibility and available benefits programs for skilled craft and labor or experienced professionals and recent graduates." Pay: "Anticipated Starting Pay Range $100,000.00- $130,000.00" Schedule: none. We also have some company description paragraphs that could go under "About the role" maybe. But we already have Job Summary which is about role. The "About the role" could be a brief paragraph summarizing the role: maybe combine the initial sentences about SPW Earthworks Group and experience with software. However we must not repeat job title. We can include a short paragraph about the role: "Candidate will be working for the SPW Earthworks Group. Experience with HCSS HeavyBid/HeavyJob, Agtek, AutoCad, and other civil estimating programs preferred." That's substantive. But we also have the fluffy culture paragraphs; those could be considered boilerplate? They are generic but maybe still part of job description. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The culture paragraphs are not exactly boilerplate but could be considered fluff. However they are substantive about company values. Might be okay to include under "About the role" or maybe we can omit to keep sections thin. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine the role summary and maybe the culture into About the role. Let's decide: We'll have sections: - About the role: includes candidate will be working for SPW Earthworks Group, experience with software preferred, plus maybe a brief note about DPR's purpose-driven culture (we can keep a concise version). But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can keep the exact sentences. We could put:

    Candidate will be working for the SPW Earthworks Group. Experience with HCSS HeavyBid/HeavyJob, Agtek, AutoCad, and other civil estimating programs preferred.

    At DPR, roles and responsibilities are more than describing a job title—they are a commitment to building great things together.

    That's a lot but it's directly from posting; not boilerplate. It's okay. Then Responsibilities:

    with
      list. Then Requirements: maybe combine Education Qualifications, Work Experience, Certifications And Licenses. Could be a section "Requirements". Use

          showing range. We should not include Schedule. Make sure we don't repeat job title. No extra headings. Now produce HTML fragment. Check for any duplicated lines: we must avoid repeating same content. We'll include each piece once. Let's craft. About the role: combine the two paragraphs. Responsibilities: list each bullet. Requirements: list: - Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, architecture, or a related field, or equivalent experience required. - 4–6 years of experience in estimating, preconstruction, or cost analysis for self-perform or construction projects required. - Certifications and licenses: None required.

Pay: - Anticipated Starting Pay Range $100,000.00- $130,000.00 Make sure to use

          for prose,

          • for lists. Thus:
