We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro: "Joining Arup Arup’s purpose, shared values, and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 80 years, guiding how we shape a better world. The Opportunity We are hiring a Geotechnical Engineer based in Seattle. The ideal candidate will have geotechnical investigation, design, and construction observation experience for large site development projects (such as data centers). Key areas of experience should include ground investigation, geohazard identification, earthworks, foundations, geotechnical instrumentation, and construction observation."
That's about the role. So we can have

The ideal candidate will have geotechnical investigation, design, and construction observation experience for large site development projects (such as data centers). Key areas of experience should include ground investigation, geohazard identification, earthworks, foundations, geotechnical instrumentation, and construction observation."
That's about the role. So we can have About the role
with a paragraph summarizing that.
- Responsibilities: list of bullet points: "Planning and executing subsurface investigation and laboratory testing programs. Conducting geotechnical interpretation, ground movement assessments, and soil-structure interaction analyses for infrastructure and urban development projects. Developing numerical models using software such as PLAXIS 2D/3D, FLAC, LS-DYNA or similar analytical tools. Supporting design and assessment of excavation support systems, retaining walls, segmental lining systems, and ground improvement solutions. Evaluating instrumentation and monitoring data, including settlement, lateral movement, and excavation performance, to compare predicted and observed behavior. Collaborating closely with civil, structural, tunnelling, and infrastructure teams in an integrated multidisciplinary environment. Supporting development of geotechnical deliverables including reports, technical memoranda, specifications, and design documentation. Travel for field investigations and construction support. Performing Geotechnical Analyses And Design For Deep excavations and retaining structures. Foundations and earthworks. Cut-and-cover and underground structures. Slope stabilization and settlement mitigation. Pavements and site development works. Seismic and soil-structure interaction analysis."
We can combine into a with - items.
- Qualifications: "Bachelor's Degree in Civil/Geotechnical Engineering (Master's Degree or PhD in Civil/Geotechnical Engineering preferred). PE license required or ability to obtain PE licensure in the near term. Minimum 2 years of experience in geotechnical engineering with emphasis on infrastructure, underground works, transportation, waterfront, or complex urban development projects. Experience in geotechnical investigation planning, interpretation, analysis, design, and construction support. Familiarity with soil-structure interaction problems in a variety of soil conditions. Familiarity with 3D ground modelling and geotechnical data management tools. Working knowledge of seismic analysis and relevant geotechnical design codes preferred. Experience with numerical modelling software such as PLAXIS 2D/3D, FLAC, LS-DYNA or similar platforms preferred."
We can treat as Requirements/Qualifications. The instruction says we can have sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to include. The posting includes qualifications (education, experience, licenses). Could put under
Qualifications
. Also there are core qualities: "Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities with attention to technical detail. Comfortable working across multiple project phases and balancing competing priorities in fast-paced project environments. Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to multidisciplinary teams, clients, and contractors. Collaborative mindset. Proactive, adaptable, and eager to contribute to technically challenging infrastructure projects." Those could be Skills.
- Benefits: The posting includes "What We Offer You At Arup..." describing benefits: "competitive, fair and equitable pay", "benefits that support health and wellbeing", "wide range of learning opportunities", "profit share", "401(k) plan with up to 10% company match", "Flexible Working". Also "Benefits at Work - At Arup, we have a comprehensive and valuable benefits program...". So we have benefits content.
- Pay: "Hiring Range – The good faith base salary hiring range for this job if performed is $80,000 to $95,000 per year. This range is commensurate with experience, educational background, and skill level. Benefits are not included in the base salary." So we have Pay section.
- Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's flexible working but not a schedule. The instruction says do not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It mentions flexible arrangements, alternative schedules, ability to work outside office. That could be considered schedule info. However it's not a specific schedule like "Full-time, 40 hrs/week". It's more about flexibility. Might still be considered schedule content. But safer to omit Schedule section because not explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday". The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state flexible working, which is schedule-related. Could include Schedule with that content. But we also have Benefits already. Might be okay to include Schedule with flexible working description. However we also have Benefits covering flexible working. Might duplicate. Better to include Schedule only if distinct. Since flexible working is mentioned under Benefits section, we could keep it there and not create separate Schedule. I'd omit Schedule.
- Skills: we have core qualities; could be Skills.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings and
or
- . Ensure we preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out the EEO statement, fraud warning, application process, etc. Also remove "Please note that all applicants must apply directly via the job portal..." etc. Also remove "Our Application Process", "Stay safe online." etc. Also remove "Different People, Shared Values" EEO block. Also remove "Our Application Process" etc. Also remove "Please note that hiring ranges for candidates performing work outside of Seattle..." maybe keep as part of Pay? It's about Pay range variation; could keep as part of Pay description. It's substantive? It's about hiring range variation; could keep.
We must preserve all substantive information: that includes the hiring range statement, benefits description, profit share, 401k, flexible working, etc.
