We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: Application Close Date line, culture statement, export control, background check, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Keep substantive info: mission description, role description, responsibilities list, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, benefits. Also maybe "About the role" heading for the introductory paragraph(s). We need to decide sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (maybe combine minimum qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (maybe list of skills?), Benefits (list). Pay and Schedule not present, so omit. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not needed. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract: Intro: "At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of Blue Origin corporate functions, providing centralized support across Blue Origin business unit teams, functions, and locations. Blue Origin is seeking an experienced Facility Design Fire Protection Engineer to join our Facilities Engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for leading fire protection engineering efforts across new construction and existing facility modification projects. You will apply your technical expertise to ensure our facilities meet the highest standards of life safety and fire protection in support of Blue Origin's mission." That's about the role. Responsibilities list: bullet points from "Lead fire protection engineering design..." to "Provide support during construction administration and system commissioning". We'll list each as
  • . Minimum Qualifications: list items: Bachelor's degree..., Active PE license..., 12+ years..., Demonstrated experience..., Proficiency..., Strong working knowledge..., Experience producing..., Strong written and verbal communication skills. Preferred Qualifications: list items: SFPE membership..., Experience with performance-based..., Familiarity with special hazard..., Experience working with rocket propellant storage..., Proficiency with AutoCAD or Revit..., Experience navigating complex AHJ..., Master's degree... Skills: maybe we can extract skills from qualifications: but we could create a Skills section summarizing technical skills: hydraulic modeling software, NFPA codes, AutoCAD/Revit, etc. However we must not invent. Could we put skills as part of qualifications? The instruction: Use headings only when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting includes qualifications (minimum and preferred). Could we combine them under "Requirements" and "Qualifications"? The headings list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to use. We have both minimum and preferred qualifications. Could treat minimum as "Requirements" and preferred as "Qualifications". Or we could have "Requirements" for minimum, "Qualifications" for preferred, and maybe "Skills" for specific technical skills (like hydraulic modeling software, NFPA, AutoCAD/Revit). But that might be splitting hairs. Better to follow typical pattern: "Requirements" for minimum qualifications, "Qualifications" for preferred qualifications. Skills could be omitted if not distinct. But we have skills listed within qualifications; we could still include a Skills section if we can extract distinct skill items: "Proficiency with hydraulic modeling software (e.g., HydraCAD, SprinkCALC, AutoSPRINK)", "Strong working knowledge of NFPA codes and standards (13, 14, 20, 72, 101, etc.) and IBC/IFC", "Experience producing stamped engineering drawings and design packages", "Strong written and verbal communication skills", "Proficiency with AutoCAD or Revit (MEP)". Those are skills. Could create a Skills section with those. However we must not duplicate content; we need to preserve all substantive info. If we put them in Skills, we should not also list them under Requirements/Qualifications? But we could keep them in both places? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid redundancy. However we could keep them in Requirements/Qualifications and not create a separate Skills section to avoid duplication. Since we have headings for Requirements and Qualifications, we can put the minimum under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications. That covers all. Skills section may be omitted. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. Check if any Pay or Schedule: none. Now produce HTML fragment:

    Make sure to not include any extra text. Now craft the content precisely. About the role paragraph: combine the sentences. "At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of Blue Origin corporate functions, providing centralized support across Blue Origin business unit teams, functions, and locations. Blue Origin is seeking an experienced Facility Design Fire Protection Engineer to join our Facilities Engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for leading fire protection engineering efforts across new construction and existing facility modification projects. You will apply your technical expertise to ensure our facilities meet the highest standards of life safety and fire protection in support of Blue Origin's mission." That's one paragraph. Responsibilities list: need to capture each bullet. From text: "Lead fire protection engineering design for new and existing facilities, including system design, layout, and specification development" "Perform fire protection engineering analyses including:" Then subitems: "Fire hazard analyses (FHA)", "Egress analyses", "Hydraulic calculations for sprinkler and suppression systems", "Smoke control and detection system design", "Fire resistance rating evaluations" "Develop and review construction documents, drawings, specifications, and design packages for fire suppression, detection, and alarm systems" "Ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards including NFPA, IBC, IFC, and local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements" "Serve as a technical subject matter expert (SME) and provide guidance to junior engineers and cross-functional teams" "Coordinate with architects, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineers to integrate fire protection systems into overall facility designs" "Interface with AHJs, insurance carriers, and third-party reviewers during design reviews and permitting processes" "Conduct site assessments and inspections of existing facilities to identify fire protection deficiencies and develop remediation plans" "Support development and maintenance of facility fire protection standards, design guides, and engineering policies" "Review contractor submittals, shop drawings, and RFIs for fire protection systems" "Provide support during construction administration and system commissioning" We need to decide how to format subitems. Could keep as separate
  • items, maybe indent? But plain list is fine. We'll list each as separate
  • . For the "Perform fire protection engineering analyses including:" we could make that a heading? But we must not create extra headings beyond specified. Could treat it as a list item with colon and then subitems as separate list items? Might be okay to just list each as separate
  • . We'll include the main line as a list item and then the subitems as separate items. Thus:
  • Lead fire protection engineering design for new and existing facilities, including system design, layout, and specification development
  • Perform fire protection engineering analyses including:
  • Fire hazard analyses (FHA)
  • Egress analyses
  • Hydraulic calculations for sprinkler and suppression systems
