Field Engineer (Summer 2027)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should create sections for those headings if content exists. The posting includes "About Us" paragraph at top. That could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is company overview, not role. But we could treat as "About the role"? The instruction says use those headings as examples; we can also use other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those specific headings. We should map content to those.
We have:
- Job Summary: description of role. Could go under "About the role".
- Essential Functions and Responsibilities: list of duties. That's Responsibilities.
- Required Qualifications and Education Requirements: that's Qualifications (maybe also Requirements). Could split: Requirements (maybe required qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred?). But we have both Required Qualifications and Preferred Skills. So we can have "Requirements" for required qualifications, "Qualifications" for preferred? Actually they said "Requirements, Qualifications". Might be ambiguous. We'll put required under "Requirements" and preferred under "Qualifications" or "Skills". We have "Preferred Skills" section. So we can put that under "Skills". Also we have "Pay Transparency" with base compensation range and benefits. So we have Pay and Benefits sections.
- Work Environment, Physical Demands, Other Duties, etc. Those could be omitted if not matching headings; but we need to preserve all substantive info. We could include them under appropriate sections like Responsibilities or maybe a new heading? But instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could incorporate those details into Responsibilities or maybe a "Work Environment" heading not in list? But they said use those headings (e.g...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but they gave examples. Safer to stick to those headings and put extra info under appropriate ones (e.g., Work Environment under Responsibilities or maybe a new "Work Environment" heading if we think it's substantive). However they said "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we can add a heading like "Work Environment" if we have content. But they didn't list it as example; but they didn't forbid. However they said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exhaustive. So we can add other headings if needed.
Thus we can create sections:
- About the role (Job Summary)
- Responsibilities (Essential Functions and Responsibilities)
- Requirements (Required Qualifications and Education Requirements)
- Qualifications (maybe Preferred Skills? Actually they'd be Skills. But we have Preferred Skills separate. Could treat Qualifications as preferred qualifications? Might be confusing. Let's do: Requirements = required qualifications; Skills = preferred skills; Qualifications = maybe education? But we already used education in Requirements. Hmm.
Better: Use Requirements for required qualifications (degree, experience). Use Qualifications for preferred qualifications (EIT, internship). Use Skills for preferred skills (knowledge, software, communication, physical). That seems logical.
- Benefits (benefits package)
- Pay (base compensation range)
- Schedule? Not mentioned; no schedule info. So omit Schedule.
- Work Environment (maybe as its own section) but we could incorporate into Responsibilities or a separate "Work Environment". Since we have details about work environment, physical demands, travel, etc. Could be its own section.
We must not include boilerplate like "Reasonable accommodations..." etc. That's part of Responsibilities? It's a statement about accommodations; we can keep it as part of Responsibilities maybe.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes "Reasonable accommodations or workable solutions may be made..." that's not boilerplate; it's part of essential functions. Keep.
Also "Other Areas of Accountability" includes many items; we can keep under Responsibilities.
We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details but can format as lists.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll produce something like:

We should also include Work Environment? Not required but we have details about work environment, physical demands, travel. Could incorporate into Responsibilities already (we have many items). We already included travel, outdoors, etc. So we covered. We must not include "About Us" paragraph separate; we incorporated into About the role. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not repeated. Check for boilerplate: we removed "Reasonable accommodations or workable solutions may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions." Actually we didn't include that line. It's in the original under Essential Functions and Responsibilities heading. Should we keep it? It's a statement about accommodations; it's substantive? It's a policy statement. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning. It's about accommodations. I'd keep it. We could add as a list item under Responsibilities: "Reasonable accommodations or workable solutions may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions." Let's add. Also we missed "Other Duties Please note this job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties, or responsibilities that are required of the employee for this job. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change at any time with or without notice." That's a disclaimer; could be considered boilerplate? It's a standard disclaimer. Might be considered legal boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is a legal disclaimer about job description not comprehensive. Likely considered legal boilerplate; we should remove. Also "Third Party Disclosure Notice to Third Party Agencies: AET does not accept unsolicited resumes from third party recruiting firms. Absent a signed Service Agreement by AET’s Chief People Officer (CPO), AET reserves the right to pursue and hire these candidates without financial obligation to recruiters or agencies." That's legal boilerplate; remove. Also "Work Environment This job primarily operates primary in a field environment in outdoor conditions, on construction sites with uneven ground and adverse weather conditions. This role secondary operates in an office
