We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, navigation, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions. Keep substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
First line: "Primarily involved with preparation of geotechnical reports, including analysis and recommendations with a strong commitment to meet project deadlines"
Second: "Manage construction materials testing (CMT) projects with daily report review, assist with resolution of issues, and training of field staff on your projects"
Third: "Prepare both geotechnical and CMT proposals, manage project budgets, and prepare change orders and invoices"
Fourth: "Host or attend project meetings with clients to follow up on delivered reports and provide technical solutions as necessary"
Fifth: "Other duties may include assisting with or performing the following with supervision:"
Then list: "Prepare drilling packages and obtain utility clearances", "Perform research on local geologic history", "Supervise field work performed by drilling/test pit crews and assist with rig access issues", "Classify soil and assign laboratory testing", "Mentor and support Staff Project Managers, Assistant Staff Project Managers, and technicians in their development"
Then qualifications: "Bachelor and/or Master of Science in Civil Engineering, Geological Engineering, Geology, or similar is required", "2 years of related experience", "Professional Engineer (P.E.) or Professional Geologist (P.G.) preferred", "A professional license is required in each of the state(s) in which you work to use the license in the title. If a professional license has not yet been obtained, “Manager” will be used in the title.", "If driving for, or on behalf of, any ECS subsidiary, a valid driver’s license is required."
Then pay: "The expected pay range for this role and location is $75,000 - $95,000/year. The final agreed-upon compensation will be determined based on specific location and other individual qualifications."
Then company description: "ECS Group of Companies (ECS) was founded in 1988 with the goal to raise the standards of professional engineering consulting. Today, we are a leader in geotechnical, construction materials, environmental and facilities consulting services. We are employee-owned with more than 3,000 employees in 100+ offices and testing facilities coast to coast. ECS is currently ranked #60 in Engineering News-Record’s Top 500 Design Firms (April 2026), #148 in Engineering News-Record’s Top 200 Environmental Firms (October 2025) and #50 in Zweig Group’s Hot Firm List (May 2025). For additional information about ECS, visit: www.ecslimited.com."
Then EEO line: "ECS is an Equal Opportunity Employer. To learn more, click here." Remove.
Thus sections:
- About the role: Could be the first paragraph describing primary involvement? Might be considered summary. Could include "Primarily involved with preparation of geotechnical reports, including analysis and recommendations with a strong commitment to meet project deadlines". Also maybe the company description could be About the company, but not required. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections have content.
Responsibilities: list of duties: preparation of geotechnical reports, manage CMT projects, prepare proposals, host meetings, other duties list.
Requirements: maybe education and experience? Could be "Bachelor and/or Master of Science ... is required", "2 years of related experience". Also professional license requirement, driver's license.
Qualifications: maybe preferred PE/PG, etc.
Skills: maybe not explicit; we could omit if no specific skills listed.
Benefits: none given.
Pay: we have pay range.
Schedule: none given.
Thus we will include sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay.
We must not include empty sections.
We need to format:
About the role
then...
etc. For lists use- .
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each duty as separate list items? Could combine but must preserve detail. We'll create
- with each duty as
- . Ensure we include all.
Let's extract responsibilities:
- Preparation of geotechnical reports, including analysis and recommendations with a strong commitment to meet project deadlines
- Manage construction materials testing (CMT) projects with daily report review, assist with resolution of issues, and training of field staff on your projects
- Prepare both geotechnical and CMT proposals, manage project budgets, and prepare change orders and invoices
- Host or attend project meetings with clients to follow up on delivered reports and provide technical solutions as necessary
- Other duties may include assisting with or performing the following with supervision:
- Prepare drilling packages and obtain utility clearances
- Perform research on local geologic history
- Supervise field work performed by drilling/test pit crews and assist with rig access issues
- Classify soil and assign laboratory testing
- Mentor and support Staff Project Managers, Assistant Staff Project Managers, and technicians in their development
We could treat the "Other duties may include..." as a heading? But we can just include those as list items under responsibilities.
Thus responsibilities list includes all those bullet points.
Now Requirements: Education and experience, license, driver's license.
- Bachelor and/or Master of Science in Civil Engineering, Geological Engineering, Geology, or similar is required
- 2 years of related experience
- Professional Engineer (P.E.) or Professional Geologist (P.G.) preferred (maybe this is qualification)
- A professional license is required in each of the state(s) in which you work to use the license in the title. If a professional license has not yet been obtained, “Manager” will be used in the title.
- If driving for, or on behalf of, any ECS subsidiary, a valid driver’s license is required.
We could split: Requirements: education, experience. Qualifications: preferred PE/PG, license requirement, driver's license. But license requirement is also a requirement. However we can decide.
Better: Requirements: education and experience. Qualifications: preferred PE/PG, professional license requirement, driver's license.
But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But headings are predefined; we can still include both if they have content.
We'll include:
- Requirements: education and experience.
- Qualifications: preferred PE/PG, professional license requirement, driver's license.
Pay: include pay range.
Now About the role: maybe a brief summary: "Primarily involved with preparation of geotechnical reports, including analysis and recommendations with a strong commitment to meet project deadlines". Could also include manage CMT projects etc but that's responsibilities. We'll keep About the role as that first sentence.
Now ensure we don't repeat job title. No Job ID.
Now output HTML fragment.

We should not include schedule or benefits. Check for any leftover boilerplate: we removed EEO, company description? Actually we omitted company description. Is that substantive? It's about the company, not required per headings but could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The company description is not required for any of the headings; we could omit it as it's not about role, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule. It's extra info but not required to preserve? The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information". Does company description count as substantive? It's about the employer, not the job. Might be considered substantive but not fitting headings. However we could include it under "About the role" maybe as a paragraph? But that would be mixing. The instruction says use headings for those specific categories; we could add a section like "About the company" but not in allowed list. So better to omit? But then we lose substantive info. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." It doesn't forbid adding other sections not in list? It says "Usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples but not exclusive? It says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add other headings. So we can incorporate company description into About the role? Might be okay to add a paragraph about the company under About the role. But About the role is supposed to be about the role, not company. However we could add a second paragraph after the role description. That would still be under About the role heading. That preserves info. Thus About the role could have two paragraphs: first about role, second about company. Let's do that. About the role:
