We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. The posting includes description, responsibilities (list of duties), requirements (essential functions, competencies, education/experience, physical demands). Also includes "About Westwood Professional Services, Inc." which could be "About the role"? Actually "About Westwood" is company description; could be placed under "About the role"? The instruction: use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (maybe combine description and company overview), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (essential functions, competencies, education/experience, physical demands), Qualifications (maybe education/experience?), Skills (software proficiency, etc.), Pay (salary range). Schedule not mentioned, so omit. Benefits not mentioned, omit. Also we must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to decide what goes where. We have description paragraph: "Westwood Professional Services, Inc. has a highly experienced and dynamic team...". That's about the role/company. Could be placed under About the role. Responsibilities: The list under "Essential Functions:" and many bullet-like sentences. Those are duties. We'll put them under Responsibilities as

    • . Requirements: Could include "Required Competencies", "Required Education And Experience", "Physical Demands". Those are requirements. We'll put under Requirements. Qualifications: maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we can separate: Qualifications could be education/experience/licensure. But we already have education/experience under Requirements. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine education/experience and competencies under Requirements, and not create Qualifications unless distinct. However we have skills: proficiency in AutoCAD etc., Microsoft Office, Virginia driver's license. Those could be under Skills. Pay: Salary Description $50,000-$75,000 -> Pay section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Pay. We must not create empty sections. Now format. About the role: combine the initial description paragraph and the "About Westwood Professional Services, Inc." paragraph(s). That's prose; use

      . Responsibilities: list each duty from "Essential Functions:" and subsequent sentences until "Required Competencies". Need to capture all duties. Let's extract list: - Consult with senior staff to determine functional and spatial requirements of new structure or renovation, and prepares information regarding design, specifications, materials, color, equipment, estimated costs, and construction time - Project research, field work, observation and preliminary design calculations - Work with the senior staff to prepare due diligence analysis, concepts, and graphic illustrations using both digital and hand drawn formats - Prepare studies and reports - Perform routine analysis to check accuracy of data and work products - Work with the senior staff to review and interpret regulatory codes and ordinances - Review and analyze project scope and parameters relating to opportunities, constraints, and layout options - Work with senior staff to develop and refine design solutions - Visit project site to become familiar with existing conditions - Use manual and electronic tools to measure and record existing conditions - Assist senior staff in integrating engineering elements into unified design for client review and approval - Participate in project meetings with staff, clients, & regulatory agencies - Assist in generating and editing layouts, design concepts, technical plans, details, and specifications - Assist senior staff in the administration of construction contracts - Visit construction sites to gather information, review design intent, inform and support senior project team members - Prepare and file project documentation and transmittals - Assist in shop drawing review - Maintain equipment in good working condition - Understand and obey site safety requirements for construction sites - In-office collaboration among team members and disciplines required - Follow and apply division, regional, and company values, policies and practices - Display solid judgment, good values, trust, honesty, openness, and professionalism - Take personal responsibility for quality of tasks performed Also note the sentence: "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 boilerplate; we should remove per instruction: remove duplicated lines, boilerplate. So omit that note. Now Responsibilities list done. Requirements: include Required Competencies list, Required Education And Experience, Physical Demands. Let's extract Required Competencies bullet list: - Able to follow general directions and work independently within given parameters - Excellent written and oral communication skills - A positive attitude, willingness to learn, and a strong work ethic - Good organization skills and able to balance multiple priorities - Knowledge of the art and science of designing buildings and structures, styles of design, and methods of construction of buildings and other physical structures - Read, analyze, and interpret written communication, specifications and drawings - Write reports, business correspondence, and procedure manuals - Effectively present information and respond to questions from groups of managers, clients, customers, and the public - Read, analyze and interpret general business periodicals, professional journals or government regulations - Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, Twinmotion, Lumion, and other discipline specific software - Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite products - Valid Virginia drivers license and a satisfactory driving record Note: Some of these are skills; but we have a Skills section separate. However we could put software proficiency etc. under Skills. The Required Competencies includes many soft skills and knowledge. We'll keep them under Requirements. Required Education And Experience: - Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university is required - 0-3 years of related experience - Must establish and maintain a personal NCARB record in preparation of licensure examinations - Ability to obtain Architectural license in applicable state(s) - Must complete training and testing for licensure within established time frame Physical Demands: - Drive for company business - Must have the ability and willingness to travel periodically to certain work sites in different conditions and phases of completion, including but not limited to confined spaces, climbing a ladders Note: "climbing a ladders" typo but keep as is. Now Skills: we could extract software proficiency and Microsoft Office, Virginia driver's license. But those are already in Required Competencies. To avoid duplication, we could keep them under Requirements and not create Skills. However the instruction says we can have Skills section if posting actually states them. It does state proficiency in specific software and Microsoft Office, and driver's license. So we could create Skills section for those technical skills, while keeping other competencies under Requirements. But we must not duplicate content. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; we can split but ensure not duplicate. Let's decide: Put software proficiency, Microsoft Office, Virginia driver's license under Skills. Put other competencies (soft skills, knowledge, etc.) under Requirements. Thus: Skills: - Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, Twinmotion, Lumion, and other discipline specific software - Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite products - Valid Virginia drivers license and a satisfactory driving record Requirements: - Able to follow general directions and work independently within given parameters - Excellent written and oral communication skills - A positive attitude, willingness to learn, and a strong work ethic - Good organization skills and able to balance multiple priorities - Knowledge of the art and science of designing buildings and structures, styles of design, and methods of construction of buildings and other physical structures - Read, analyze, and interpret written communication, specifications and drawings - Write reports, business correspondence, and procedure manuals - Effectively present information and respond to questions from groups of managers, clients, customers, and the public - Read, analyze and interpret general business periodicals, professional journals or government regulations - Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university is required - 0-3 years of related experience - Must establish and maintain a personal NCARB record in preparation of licensure examinations - Ability to obtain Architectural license in applicable state(s) - Must complete training and testing for licensure within established time frame - Drive for company business - Must have the ability and willingness to travel periodically to certain work sites in different conditions and phases of completion, including but not limited to confined spaces, climbing a ladders Now Pay: Salary Description $50,000-$75,000. Now About the role: combine the initial description paragraph and the About Westwood paragraph(s). Let's extract: First paragraph after "Job Type Full-time Description": "Westwood Professional Services, Inc. has a highly experienced and dynamic team of individuals dedicated to providing high-level professional services to our clients. Full-time, entry-level professional performing basic architectural assignments. Produces design iterations, compiles data, and completes elementary architectural assignments; prepares project architectural plans as requested; observes construction in the field; works under direct supervision of a licensed architect or senior project manager; and works on projects/matters of limited complexity in a support role." Then later "About Westwood Professional Services, Inc. (Westwood) At Westwood, our purpose is to create a better world for people through our work. We transform the energy grid, design resilient infrastructure, and develop communities that will flourish today and for future generations.

The firm consistently ranks on the industry's top 25 lists and receives recognition for its involvement in award-winning projects nationwide." We should keep all that as prose under About the role. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no or . Use

      for each section heading, then content. Structure:

      About the role

      ...

      Responsibilities

      • ...
      • ...

      Requirements

      • ...

      Pay

      $50,000-$75,000

      Make sure not to include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed that. Check for any duplicated lines: we omitted the note about job description not comprehensive. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The initial description also includes "Full-time, entry-level professional performing basic architectural assignments." That's included in About the role paragraph. Also
