Experienced Professional, Project Accounting

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the job description. Key sections: - About the role? The description includes "This Opportunity WSP is searching for an Experienced Professional, Project Accounting in the United States This position is contingent upon the ability to obtain and maintain a national security clearance. The ideal candidate will be providing accounting and financial specialist support to one or more Project Managers and project teams." That's like a summary. Could be "About the role". We'll include that as prose. - Responsibilities: The posting has a "Responsibilities" heading then a list of duties. We need to extract all responsibilities. The text includes many bullet-like sentences. We'll put them in

  • . Must preserve all substantive info. We'll need to list each distinct responsibility. - Qualifications: There's a "Qualifications" heading with "Who You Are" then "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". We'll combine into Qualifications section with subpoints? The instruction: Use

    for section headings. Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a

      Qualifications

      then
      • for each qualification item. - Benefits: There's a "WSP Benefits:" paragraph describing benefits. Also later "About WSP" includes benefits again. We need to include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does: "WSP provides a comprehensive suite of benefits focused on a providing health and financial stability throughout the employee’s career. These benefits include coverage related to medical, dental, vision, disability, and life; retirement savings; paid sick leave; paid vacation (or other personal time); paid parental leave; and paid time off for purposes of bereavement, voting, and/or attendance at naturalization proceedings." Also later: "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." We'll combine and list as
        • . - Pay: Not mentioned. No salary. So we should NOT create Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule details. So omit. - Skills: Could be derived from qualifications but we might not need separate Skills section if qualifications cover. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Skills into Qualifications or maybe have a Skills section if there is explicit list. There's mention of "Proficiency with technical writing, office automation and accounting software, technology, math principles, spreadsheets, MS Excel, pivot tables, formulas, data format/sort/filter, VLOOKUP, predictive models, and tools." That's skills. Could be a Skills section. But we already have Qualifications covering required and preferred qualifications. Might be okay to have Qualifications and Skills separate? The instruction says use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could have Skills separate. But we need to avoid thin sections. If we extract skills from qualifications, we could still have a Skills section with those items. However we must not duplicate content. We could keep Qualifications for education/experience, and Skills for technical skills. That seems reasonable. - Requirements: Could be similar to Qualifications. But we have Qualifications already; maybe we can skip Requirements. The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. There's a "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". That's qualifications. There's no separate "Requirements" besides that. So we can omit Requirements. - About the role: We'll have a short paragraph summarizing the opportunity. Now we need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At the end there is EEO statement, "Notice To Third Party Agencies", etc. We must remove those. Also remove duplicated lines: The benefits appear twice; we should deduplicate. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, etc. Let's extract responsibilities list. From the text after "Responsibilities Your Impact" there is a long paragraph with many sentences. We need to break into distinct responsibilities. Let's copy the responsibilities section: "Responsibilities Your Impact For assigned project(s), manage and analyze the collection, recording, and allocating of project costs and revenue, ensuring accurate project profit and loss calculations, and communicating project financial performance and profitability to project/program management.

        • . Some sentences are long but okay. Now Qualifications: Required Qualifications list: - Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting , Business, or closely-related discipline (or demonstrated proven equivalent experience). - 3 to 5 years of relevant post-education experience in accounting, project contracts and change management documents. - Working knowledge of project accounting principles, practices, and methods and their application to project work-related issues. - Analytical mindset with an ability to exercise sound independent judgement in evaluating situations and making decisions with financial implications to the company. - Ability to initiate and coordinate efforts with various stakeholders around contract and project requirements. - Effective/Strong Capable interpersonal and communication skills when interacting with others, expressing ideas effectively and professionally to an accounting and non-accounting audience. - Effective self-leadership with attention to detail, results orientation, and managing multiple priorities in a dynamic work environment. - Ability to learn new techniques, perform multiple tasks simultaneously, follow instruction, work independently, and comply with company policies. - Proficiency with technical writing, office automation and accounting software, technology, math principles, spreadsheets, MS Excel, pivot tables, formulas, data format/sort/filter, VLOOKUP, predictive models, and tools. - Critical thinking and problem-solving skills required to apply learned subject matter and technical knowledge to reach conclusions from data collation, documentation, statistical analysis, and arriving at the most effective, economical, and logical solution. - Awareness of and adherence to WSP USA’s Project Delivery Handbook. - Proven track record of upholding workplace safety and ability to abide by WSP’s health, safety and drug/alcohol and harassment policies. - This is a professional role and as such work deadlines and work hours may extend beyond a typical workday. - Occasional travel may be required depending on project-specific requirements. - Due to client/project requirements, US Citizenship is required. - Ability to obtain and maintain a US Government issued Secret level Security Clearance. Preferred Qualifications: - Familiarity with Oracle preferred (but not required). We could combine required and preferred into one list, maybe mark preferred? But we need to preserve all info. We'll just list all items; maybe we can add a note "(preferred)" for the Oracle one. But we should not invent. The text says "Familiarity with Oracle preferred (but not required)." We'll keep that as is. Now Skills: Could extract from qualifications: "Proficiency with technical writing, office automation and accounting software, technology, math principles, spreadsheets, MS Excel, pivot tables, formulas, data format/sort/filter, VLOOKUP, predictive models, and tools." Also "Ability to learn new techniques, perform multiple tasks simultaneously, follow instruction, work independently, and comply with company policies." Also "Effective/Strong Capable interpersonal and communication skills when interacting with others, expressing ideas effectively and professionally to an accounting and non-accounting audience." Also "Effective self-leadership with attention to detail, results orientation, and managing multiple priorities in a dynamic work environment." Also "Analytical mindset with an ability to exercise sound independent judgement..." etc. But these are more qualifications/skills. However we already have Qualifications section covering education/experience etc. If we create Skills section, we might duplicate content. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe better to not have a separate Skills section; incorporate skills into Qualifications. But the heading list includes Skills as optional. We'll decide to not create Skills section to avoid thin duplication. We'll keep Qualifications covering all. Now Benefits: We need to list benefits items. From first benefits paragraph: "WSP provides a comprehensive suite of benefits focused on a providing health and financial stability throughout the employee’s career. These benefits include coverage related to medical, dental, vision, disability, and life; retirement savings; paid sick leave; paid vacation (or other personal time); paid parental leave; and paid time off for purposes of bereav
