We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content exists. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate: "This role profile is subject to change at any time." maybe not needed? It's not boilerplate but maybe we can keep? It's a statement about role profile; it's substantive? Might be considered meta. Probably we can keep as part of About the role? It's not essential but we can keep. Also remove the "PROTECT PEOPLE ..." etc which looks like company values; maybe not part of role definition? It's likely boilerplate values; we should remove. Also remove "Benefits and additional Company Information is located on the career section of our website." and link. Also remove EEO etc. Also remove "Visa sponsorship is not available for this position at this time." maybe keep as part of Requirements? It's a condition; could be included under Requirements? Might be considered metadata; but we can include as a short p under Requirements? The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include visa sponsorship note in a short p under Requirements or maybe under About the role. We'll decide. We need sections: About the role (role definition), Responsibilities (list of top 5 responsibilities with subpoints), Requirements (education, experience, certifications, physical demands maybe?), Qualifications (maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we can combine? The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We have Education and Qualifications block; also Physical Demands; also Travel; also Visa sponsorship. Could put all under Requirements or Qualifications. Let's decide: Use "Requirements" for experience, education, certifications, physical demands, travel, visa. Use "Skills" for technical skills like AutoCAD, Revit, etc. Use "Responsibilities" for the top 5 responsibilities bullet list. Use "About the role" for the initial paragraph(s) describing role. We must not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections unless posting actually states them. No mention of benefits, pay, schedule. So omit those. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. First paragraph: "Role Definition A Sr. Process Engineer serving as a Design Lead for ethanol projects is responsible for directing the technical development, coordination, and execution of process-driven facility designs from concept through startup. This role requires deep ethanol industry expertise, a strong understanding of plant operations, and the ability to lead multidisciplinary engineering and design teams in delivering safe, efficient, constructable, and cost-effective solutions. The Design Lead is accountable for establishing the process design basis, developing process flow diagrams, mass and energy balances, equipment specifications, and process requirements that drive project scope and overall facility design. They provide technical leadership and coordination across process, structural, mechanical, electrical, automation, procurement, fabrication, and construction disciplines to ensure a fully integrated and executable design. A successful Design Lead understands the operational, maintenance, safety, reliability, and performance requirements unique to ethanol production facilities and applies that knowledge to support project planning, scope development, design estimates, schedules, budgets, risk management, and execution strategies. This role serves as the primary technical resource for process design decisions and works closely with clients, project managers, and project teams to deliver solutions that achieve the client's business and operational objectives." Then after that there is "This role profile is subject to change at any time." maybe we can include as a short note. Then there is a block of values (PROTECT PEOPLE etc). Likely boilerplate; remove. Then "TOP 5 ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES:" then list each with sub-bullets. We need to capture each responsibility and its bullet points. Let's parse: 1. LEADS ETHANOL FACILITY DESIGN AND TECHNICAL DIRECTION - Lead the design effort on ethanolrelated projects, providing technical direction for facility layout, equipment arrangement, constructability, safety, and overall design intent. - Serve as a design subject matter expert for project teams, clients, vendors, and construction partners. - Develop and review key design deliverables including layouts, models, design narratives, coordination drawings, and supporting documentation. - Translate process requirements into practical facility layouts that support operations, maintenance, safety, and longterm performance. - Identify and resolve design risks related to access, maintenance, constructability, coordination, and safety. - Ensure designs comply with applicable codes, standards, owner requirements, and industry best practices. - Lead site discovery, field verification, design reviews, and coordination meetings to support successful project delivery. - Mentor team members by sharing technical expertise, ethanol industry knowledge, and lessons learned. 2. DEVELOP AND MANAGE DESIGN SCOPE - Lead development of the design scope by translating client goals and operational requirements into clear technical direction. - Collaborate with owners, engineers, designers, vendors, and trade partners to define project needs and priorities. - Develop and maintain design criteria, scope narratives, drawing lists, and coordination requirements. - Facilitate owner and project coordination meetings to align expectations and resolve issues early. - Coordinate design requirements across process, structural, mechanical, electrical, automation, procurement, and construction teams. - Identify scope gaps, assumptions, risks, and constraints before they affect project outcomes. - Support development of project budgets, schedules, staffing plans, and milestone planning. - Maintain clear documentation of design decisions and project requirements throughout execution. 3. GUIDE FACILITY LAYOUT AND DESIGN COORDINATION - Develop and coordinate equipment layouts, access systems, utility spaces, maintenance areas, and facility support functions. - Evaluate design alternatives based on safety, operability, constructability, maintainability, cost, and schedule impacts. - Coordinate closely with process engineers, vendors, suppliers, fabrication teams, and construction partners. - Review equipment arrangements, vendor drawings, models, and general arrangement layouts for integration and coordination. - Identify opportunities to improve layouts, reduce costs, improve safety, and simplify installation. - Support planning for prefabrication, construction sequencing, commissioning, and startup activities. - Ensure design solutions align with operational needs, maintenance requirements, and longterm facility performance. - Communicate design recommendations and associated project impacts to clients and leadership. 4. PROVIDES LEADERSHIP, MENTORSHIP, AND QUALITY OVERSIGHT - Lead project design teams by establishing clear expectations, accountability, and ownership of deliverables. - Mentor designers and engineers by providing technical guidance, coordination support, and constructive feedback. - Promote strong design practices focused on safety, quality, constructability, maintainability, and operational excellence. - Review drawings, models, and documentation for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with company standards. - Support resolution of complex design challenges and remove obstacles that impact project progress. - Foster a culture of continuous improvement, collaboration, accountability, and professional growth. - Help identify training opportunities and development plans that strengthen overall team capability. - Lead by example while demonstrating professionalism, responsiveness, and ownership. 5.

Then "EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS" block: - Bachelor’s degree in a related science field such as Industrial, Manufacturing, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering. - 15+ years of experience. - Certification of completion in Professional Engineer License (P.Eng), Certified Professional Engineer (PE), Fundamentals of Engineering (FE), Engineer in Training (EIT), Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE), and/or Lean Qualifications or willing to obtain. - Working knowledge of basic computer programs like Microsoft Office Suite, Outlook, and online collaboration tools. - Proficiency in Autodesk/Plant Design Suite products like and Revit and AutoCAD are desired, with knowledge of Inventor, Navisworks, etc., beneficial. - Travel up to 20% or as needed, by air and ground. Then "PHYSICAL DEMANDS" block: long list. Then "Visa sponsorship is not available for this position at this time." Then EEO etc. We need to decide sections. We'll have:

About the role

... (the role definition paragraph(s) maybe plus the note about role profile subject to change).

Responsibilities

  • LEADS ETHANOL FACILITY DESIGN AND TECHNICAL DIRECTION ... (list of bullets)
  • ... etc. But we need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So each responsibility could be a
    • containing a heading? Could embed inside
    • . Or we could have nested lists: outer
        for responsibilities, each
      • contains a heading and then an inner
          for its bullet points. That seems appropriate. Similarly for Requirements: we can have
            with items: Bachelor’s degree..., 15+ years..., Certification..., Working knowledge..., Proficiency..., Travel..., Physical demands..., Visa sponsorship not available. But physical demands is a long list; we could keep as a

            inside the

          • or as a nested
              . Probably better to keep as a

              because it's a paragraph of details. Similarly Skills: maybe we separate technical skills: Proficiency in Autodesk/Plant Design Suite products like Revit and AutoCAD are desired, with knowledge of Inventor, Navisworks, etc., beneficial. Also Working knowledge of basic computer programs like Microsoft Office Suite, Outlook, and online collaboration tools. Could be under Skills. But we already have those under Requirements; we could move them to Skills. Let's decide: Requirements: education, experience, certifications, travel, visa. Skills: technical software proficiency, basic computer programs. Physical demands could be its own section? There's no heading for Physical demands in allowed headings; we could put under Requirements or maybe under a separate section like "Physical Demands" but not allowed headings list; we could put under Requirements as a note. Given instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Education/Qualifications, Skills, Physical demands into one "Requirements" section. Thus:

              Requirements

              • Education: Bachelor’s degree in a related science field such as Industrial, Manufacturing, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering.
              • Experience: 15+ years of experience.
              • Certifications: Certification of completion in Professional Engineer License (P.Eng), Certified Professional Engineer (PE), Fundamentals of Engineering (FE), Engineer in Training (EIT), Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE), and/or Lean Qualifications or willing to obtain.
              • Technical Skills: Proficiency in Autodesk/Plant Design Suite products like Revit and AutoCAD are desired, with knowledge of Inventor, Navisworks, etc., beneficial. Working knowledge of basic computer programs like Microsoft Office Suite, Outlook, and online collaboration tools.
              • Travel: Travel up
