We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Description: "Now accepting applications for the summer of 2027! ENGEO 360° is a comprehensive summer internship designed for talented university students to explore professional engineering consulting careers within a dynamic and empowering environment. We give our interns real responsibilities that impact projects and add value to our work. Our interns gain experience in the office, laboratory, and field environments. While the focus will be primarily Geotechnical Engineering, our interns receive a perspective of geoenvironmental, hydrologic, and geologic engineering too. See our intern experience video here!" - Internship Goals: bullet list? It's a list: Provide a meaningful learning experience for talented students; Perform engineering tasks to support ENGEO’s broad portfolio of projects; Build lasting connections with many talented mentors; Join events and build relationships to experience what makes ENGEO unique and a certified Great Place to Work - Structure: description of split time, etc. - Requirements: Actually there is a "Requirements" heading? The posting includes "Requirements Field Goals (as scheduled TBD on availability)" then bullet list of field goals. Then "Office (Design/Analysis) Goal: ..." then "Laboratory - Spend one week..." then "Let's have fun! ..." then "Who We Are And What We Do" then some company description. We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities (maybe internship goals?), Requirements (field goals, office goals, lab?), Qualifications (maybe not present), Skills (maybe not present), Benefits (maybe not present), Pay (not present), Schedule (maybe not present). We must only include sections with real specific content. We have content for About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities: could be internship goals list. Requirements: field goals, office goals, lab goals. Qualifications: none specific. Skills: none. Benefits: none specific (they mention generous benefit packages but not details). Pay: none. Schedule: maybe mention split time between office and field, up to one week in lab. That's schedule info. Could be considered schedule. The posting says: "You will primarily split your time between office and field work, but you will also spend up to one week in one of our soil labs!" That's schedule. So we can include Schedule section with that sentence. Also "Structure" maybe part of About the role? But we can treat as part of About. We need to avoid boilerplate: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The "NOTE TO EXTERNAL SEARCH FIRMS:" and "NOTE TO CANDIDATES:" are boilerplate; remove. Also "See our intern experience video here!" maybe keep as prose? It's a link but we can keep as text. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the bullet lists exactly as given. Let's extract: About the role paragraph: "Now accepting applications for the summer of 2027! ENGEO 360° is a comprehensive summer internship designed for talented university students to explore professional engineering consulting careers within a dynamic and empowering environment. We give our interns real responsibilities that impact projects and add value to our work. Our interns gain experience in the office, laboratory, and field environments. While the focus will be primarily Geotechnical Engineering, our interns receive a perspective of geoenvironmental, hydrologic, and geologic engineering too. See our intern experience video here!" Responsibilities (Internship Goals): - Provide a meaningful learning experience for talented students - Perform engineering tasks to support ENGEO’s broad portfolio of projects - Build lasting connections with many talented mentors - Join events and build relationships to experience what makes ENGEO unique and a certified Great Place to Work Requirements: we have multiple sub-sections: Field Goals, Office (Design/Analysis) Goal, Laboratory. Field Goals (as scheduled TBD on availability) - note "TBD" but we should not include placeholder text. The heading says "Requirements Field Goals (as scheduled TBD on availability)". The content includes bullet list. The "TBD" is in heading; we should not create a heading with filler. But we can still have a Requirements section and include the field goals content, ignoring the TBD phrase. We should not include the TBD phrase as content. So we can just list the field goals bullet points. Field Goals bullet list: - Assist with the planning and execution of field investigations including logging borings and test pits, collecting samples, performing field tests, and observing and assisting with cone penetration and geophysical testing. - Observe construction of foundations, ground improvement, shoring, grading operations, and other geotechnical construction. - Understand how geotechnical recommendations and designs are implemented - Gain experience working on large-scale construction projects. - Become certified to operate a nuclear gauge through onsite training Office (Design/Analysis) Goal: Put it together…Synthesize knowledge of construction materials on 'micro' and 'macro' scale into engineering analysis and design Depending on knowledge base, assist technical staff in a variety of roles - Drafting, calculations, cross-sections, developing lab programs, boring logs, report preparation - As appropriate, client engagements and meetings Laboratory - Spend one week in one of our four Lab Locations - San Ramon, Lathrop, Rocklin or Valencia GOAL: Expand understanding of construction materials properties; increase familiarity with standard testing procedures. Work with ENGEO laboratory operations systems Assist with laboratory tests, including: - Compaction curves - Cylinders - Atterberg limits - Gradation Let's have fun! You are part of the family! - Events - picnics, barbecues, informal social outings - Intern workshop and team event - in the corporate office Who We Are And What We Do: paragraph about company. We could treat "Who We Are And What We Do" as About the role? But we already have About the role intro. Could add another paragraph under About the role? Might be okay to include as part of About the role (company overview). However we should not duplicate. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine About the role and company description into About the role section. Thus About the role section will contain the intro paragraph plus the company description paragraph. Responsibilities: internship goals list. Requirements: field goals, office goals, lab goals, plus maybe the fun events? Those are more like benefits/activities. Could be under Benefits? But they are not benefits like health etc. Could be under Responsibilities? Might be better to put under Benefits? Actually they are social events; could be under Benefits (non-monetary). But the instruction says only include Benefits if posting actually states them. It does state events and fun activities. So we could create Benefits section with those bullet points. Schedule: mention split time between office and field, up to one week in lab. Pay: none. Qualifications: none. Skills: none. Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule. Check each for real content. About the role: combine intro paragraph and company description. Intro paragraph: "Now accepting applications for the summer of 2027! ENGEO 360° is a comprehensive summer internship designed for talented university students to explore professional engineering consulting careers within a dynamic and empowering environment. We give our interns real responsibilities that impact projects and add value to our work. Our interns gain experience in the office, laboratory, and field environments. While the focus will be primarily Geotechnical Engineering, our interns receive a perspective of geoenvironmental, hydrologic, and geologic engineering too. See our intern experience video here!" Company description paragraph: "Founded in 1971, ENGEO is an employee-owned firm of approximately 400+ geotechnical and civil engineers, geologists, hydrologists, water resources engineers, environmental scientists, and construction-phase field representatives. ENGEO serves a diverse range of clients and projects and has offices located throughout California, Nevada, Seattle, Guam, New Zealand, and Australia. ENGEO strives to create a positive, family-oriented, and innovative environment, where employees are engaged and excellence-driven. As an ENGEO team member, you will have access to mentorships, international opportunities, fun social events, and generous benefit packages. Here, you’ll receive exposure to a wide variety of projects, help to serve those around you, and drive business success. We take pride in our fantastic working culture and are honored to be a certified Great Place to Work®, consistently ranked as a best place to work both nationally and regionally by our employees" We need to ensure we don't include the NOTE sections. Responsibilities: internship goals list as bullet points. Requirements: we need to include field goals, office goals, lab goals. Possibly also the "Let's have fun!" but we moved to Benefits. Thus Requirements section will contain subheadings? We cannot use headings other than h3 for section headings. Inside a section we can use
and
- . We can include multiple paragraphs.
We'll structure Requirements with maybe a paragraph intro: "Field Goals:" then list, then "Office (Design/Analysis) Goal:" then list, then "Laboratory:" then list.
But we must not create headings inside Requirements (like
) because only allowed headings are h3 for section headings. So we can just use plain text or
for labels. We'll do:
