Experienced Professional, Geotechnical Engineering

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job description. First, there is a paragraph "Job Description This Opportunity ..." but we should not repeat job title. The page already shows it, so we don't add heading for title. We need to extract sections: - About the role: The first paragraph after "Job Description This Opportunity" describes WSP environment and the role. That could be "About the role". We'll put that in

About the role

then

with that prose. - Responsibilities: There's a big block after "Your Impact" and many bullet-like sentences. We need to list duties as

• . The responsibilities include many items. We'll extract each sentence that starts with a verb (Provide oversight..., Apply..., Perform..., Develop..., Involved..., Develop..., Lead..., Assist..., Meet..., Ensure..., Have..., Mentor..., Remain..., Collaborates..., Exercise..., Perform additional responsibilities...). We'll put each as
• . - Requirements/Qualifications: There's "Who You Are Required Qualifications" then list of required qualifications. Also "Preferred Qualifications". We can combine into a section "Requirements" maybe with sub-sections? But we only have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications separate if content exists. But we need to avoid thin sections. We could put required qualifications under "Requirements" and preferred under "Qualifications" or combine. Let's see content: Required Qualifications list includes Bachelor’s Degree, 3+ years experience, Professional Engineer license, proficient with geotechnical engineering principles, etc. Preferred Qualifications list includes Master’s Degree, Essential Professional Licensure/Certification, 40-Hour OSHA HAZWOPER, Basic First Aid and Adult CPR. We could make a "Requirements" section for required qualifications, and a "Qualifications" section for preferred qualifications. Or we could combine into one "Qualifications" section with required and preferred. But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having both Requirements and Qualifications may be okay if each has substantive content. Let's decide: We'll have "Requirements" for required qualifications, and "Qualifications" for preferred qualifications. - Skills: There's mention of proficiency with technical writing, office automation, discipline-specific design software, etc. That's part of qualifications. Could be placed under Skills. But we already have qualifications sections. Might be better to put skills under "Skills". However the qualifications already list many skills. To avoid duplication, we could put skills under "Skills" and keep qualifications for degrees/licenses. Let's parse: The required qualifications include "Proficient with geotechnical engineering principles, practices, process, design/build, and the application to permitting and project work-related issues. Proficient with analysis and design. Experience with planning, design, and program/construction management; ... Proficient with making technical computations and calculations involving the application of engineering principles, understanding plans and specifications, and making factual comparisons to the appropriate regulations. Experience with planning and conducting inspections and investigations on various aspects of the construction and design of facilities or structures, applying applicable regulations and policies Highly effective interpersonal and communication skills when interacting with others, expressing intricate ideas effectively and professionally to an engineering and non-engineering audience. Strong self-leadership and interpersonal communication skills with the ability to effectively, persuasively, and tactfully interact with clients, regulators, and employees at all levels of the organization. Ability to work independently to provide guidance and leadership to junior team or project members, with strict adherence to QA/QC. Proficiency with technical writing, office automation, discipline-specific design software (i.e., AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, HEC-RAS, RocScience, GeoStudio, etc.), technology, math principles, predictive models, spreadsheets, and tools. Developed critical thinking and problem-solving skills required to apply technical knowledge to reach conclusions from testing results, data collation, computations, statistical analysis and arriving at the most effective, economical, and logical solution. Demonstrated effectiveness at coordinating and assertively directing subcontractors and others to consistently complete tasks safely and efficiently. Proven track record of upholding workplace safety and ability to abide by WSP’s health, safety and drug/alcohol and harassment policies. Must be flexible to a variety of schedules to meet business needs and able to prioritize responsibilities and quickly adapt to change in a pressure work environment. Occasional travel will be required depending on project-specific requirements." These are more like skills and abilities. So we could have a "Skills" section for these. The "Requirements" could be just education, experience, license. The "Qualifications" could be preferred qualifications (Master's, OSHA, etc). That seems reasonable. - Benefits: The posting mentions "WSP provides a flexible and agile workplace model while meeting client needs. Employees are also afforded a comprehensive suite of benefits including medical, dental, vision, disability, life, and retirement savings focused on providing health and financial stability throughout the employee’s career." That's benefits content. So we can have a Benefits section. - Pay: No specific pay mentioned. So we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: No specific schedule mentioned (only occasional travel). Not schedule. So we omit Schedule. Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. At the end there is EEO statement, notice to third party agencies. Remove those. Also remove "About WSP" section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. The "About WSP" paragraph describes the company. Could be considered "About the role"? Actually we already have About the role. The "About WSP" is more about the company; we could include it under About the role or maybe not needed. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So "About the role" is appropriate for describing the role and maybe company context. We'll incorporate the WSP description into About the role. Thus About the role paragraph: combine the initial paragraph about WSP environment and the role description plus the About WSP paragraph. Let's craft About the role: "WSP is not just a place to work, it is a promise of a living, dynamic environment where people collaborate, innovate, build enduring relationships, excel, and grow professionally in a strong culture of ownership. WSP is currently initiating a search for a Senior Geotechnical Engineer for our St. Louis, Missouri (Creve Coeur, MO) office. The candidate will be involved in projects with our Earth & Environment Team and be a part of a growing organization that meets our client’s objectives and solves their challenges.

We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading; we already have heading About the role. Now Responsibilities: list items from "Your Impact" section. Let's extract each bullet: - Provide oversight with collecting, compiling, and analyzing data from the physical work site, soil/water/waste material/rock samples, surveys, blueprints, GIS data, subsurface utility information, maps, hydrologic analysis, geologic and geotechnical data, and other matrices for project development, design, and construction. - Apply high-level geotechnical/geological engineering techniques and processes to identify improvements for various project phases involving more complex infrastructure and engineering work including concept development, preliminary design, final design, procurement, construction, and operation. - Perform professional geotechnical/geological engineering work and conduct more complex/comprehensive investigations and inspections of proposed and existing site conditions, including subsurface investigations, soil and rock foundation engineering, settlement analysis, soil erosion, lateral earth pressures, geological hazards, underground water, slope stability, rock slopes and underground structures, and operations to determine conformance with applicable rules, standards, construction , or operating permits for commercial, industrial, building, environmental, infrastructure, and transportation projects. - Develop construction plans, specifications, and cost estimates; preparing construction safety and phasing plans, and updating layout plans that require coordination with owners, other disciplines, sub-consultants, and clients. - Involved from proposal to project inception to completion in the management of design and construction of infrastructure projects, including rehabilitation and reconstruction, grading, drainage, laying out installations, foundations, slopes, retaining structures, embankments, and other systems that are made or supported by soil or rock. - Develop and implement advanced technologies, monitoring devices, building materials, modeling techniques, design requirements, and operating strategies to account for the safety and functionality of end-users, transportation systems, structures, and the implementation of future-ready solutions with geotechnical engineering design standards. - Lead medium to large-scale geotechnical/geological engineering projects ensuring contributors know what they are required to do and by when, preparing and overseeing relevant project budgets, monitoring external events, tracking hours and expenses, ensuring satisfactory performance, and supervising subcontractors, contract work, and employees. - Assist with engineering review of permit applications, engineering design plans and specifications, standby plans and engineering contracts, integrated waste management plans, and periodic construction inspections, to ensure that they comply with applicable state and/or federal regulations and sound engineering practice and standards. - Meet with various public or private entities or individuals to discuss issues relating to a variety of engineering/construction challenges and programs. - Ensure technical reports and presentations explain research, findings, and recommendations to prevent, control, restore, or address design, and/or construction issues or opportunities. - Have or demonstrably can develop a client base for providing high level geotechnical/geological engineering services including identifying additional business development opportunities. - Mentor staff to support their growth and professional development. - Remain current in latest geotechnical engineering techniques and practices. - Collaborates with professionals from a variety of disciplines, other engineers, planners, and authorities on Federal, State, regional, and locally funded improvement and development projects, as well as proposal and business development opportunities. - Exercise responsible and ethical decision-making regarding company funds, resources and conduct, and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and related policies and procedures. - Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs.
