Estimator II
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to extract content precisely.
Let's parse sections:
About the role: The introductory paragraph before ESTIMATOR II: "McGough is a respected partner that brings six generations of experience to high profile, unique and complex construction projects. We take great pride in our people and their extraordinary expertise in planning, development, construction and facility management. McGough employee tenure reflects the commitment and pride we share in our work. Ask anyone who knows us - the caliber of our people sets us apart."
That's about the company. Could be About the role. We'll put that as
.
Responsibilities: The block after "Responsibilities And Tasks". It includes many sentences. We'll turn each sentence into
- . Need to ensure we capture all.
Let's copy the responsibilities text:

We need to split into sensible list items. The text is dense without punctuation. We'll need to infer sentences by capital letters and typical phrasing. Could break at each capital letter start after a period? But there are missing periods. We'll try to split by clear phrases.
Better approach: Keep as one paragraph? But instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should make list items. We can split by major sections indicated by capitalized headings within responsibilities: "MEP Cost Estimates", "Communication with Project Team", "Pursuit and Business Development", "McGough Self-Performed Work", "Scheduling", "Other Duties As Assigned". We'll make each heading as a list item maybe with sub-items? But we can't nest lists? Could just make each heading as a list item and then the following sentences as sub-items? Might be too complex.
Simplify: We'll create a
with each sentence as - . We'll need to insert periods where missing. But we must not invent content. Adding periods is okay as punctuation not content. We'll just split by clear delimiters: after each phrase that ends with a lowercase letter then next capital letter indicates new sentence. We'll do our best.
