Graduate Engineer | Urban Development - New York or Los Angeles - Summer 2027
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
First, job title: "Graduate Urban Development Engineer". Not to repeat as heading.
We need sections:
- About the role: likely the introductory paragraph(s) describing role, location, team, etc. We'll put that in About the role
then
content. - Responsibilities: list of duties (the bullet list after "Your key duties"). - Requirements / Qualifications / Skills: The posting has "Your Skills And Experience" includes qualifications and desirable skills. We can combine into a section maybe "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose appropriate ones. Probably we need separate sections for Requirements and Skills? But they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Skills into one section "Requirements" or "Qualifications". However they gave examples; we can include both if content exists. But we should avoid thin sections. Let's see content: "Your Skills And Experience" includes bullet list of desirable skills and experiences, plus education requirement. That's substantive. Could be a single section "Requirements". Or we could have "Qualifications" for education and "Skills" for skills. But that might be thin. Better to have one section "Requirements" covering both education and skills. - Benefits: The posting includes "What we offer" with salary range, benefits package, annual discretionary bonus, generous PTO, 401k, hybrid working, reimbursement, connection to global network, learning opportunities, ERGs. Also includes salary range (Pay). So we need Benefits section and Pay section maybe separate. They said only create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections if posting actually states them. Pay: salary range given. So we need Pay section. Benefits: many items. Schedule: maybe hybrid working & summer hours indicates schedule flexibility. Could be considered Schedule. But they said only create Schedule if posting actually states them. It mentions hybrid working & summer hours, which is schedule-related. Could include Schedule section. However we might combine schedule into Benefits? But they said prefer few substantive sections. Could have Benefits section that includes PTO, holidays, 401k, hybrid working, summer hours, reimbursement, learning, ERGs. Pay separate. Schedule maybe not needed if hybrid working covered in Benefits. But they said schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does mention hybrid working & summer hours, which is schedule. Could create Schedule section with that content. But then Benefits would be thin? Let's think. We could have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (education + skills) - Pay - Benefits (including PTO, holidays, 401k, hybrid working, summer hours, reimbursement, learning, ERGs) - (maybe Schedule not needed) But they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Pay and Benefits? But they gave Pay as possible heading. Since salary range is specific, we should include Pay section. Benefits section can include other benefits. Schedule: hybrid working & summer hours could be placed under Benefits as part of work arrangement. So we may not need separate Schedule. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Benefits. Now we need to extract content. About the role: The first paragraph(s) up to "Your key duties". Let's capture: "Start designing tomorrow’s future! Buro Happold is seeking a motivated and collaborative Graduate Urban Development Engineer to join our team and contribute to innovative and sustainable engineering solutions.

Then there is a line "About Learn more about Urban Development at Buro Happold Here at Buro Happold, expect the exceptional ..." That seems like marketing fluff; we can include as part of About the role? It's about culture. Might be considered part of About the role. But we need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that text as well. However it's somewhat promotional but still substantive. We'll include it. But we need to avoid duplication and boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The "About Learn more about Urban Development at Buro Happold Here at Buro Happold, expect the exceptional ..." seems like a heading maybe but we can treat as paragraph. Let's capture that block: "About Learn more about Urban Development at Buro Happold Here at Buro Happold, expect the exceptional From the projects you will work on to the clients we work with. From career-defining opportunities to an inclusive and diverse practice where we all contribute to a more equitable world. From our reputation to our relationships.

Your next role Join us and be surrounded by exceptional opportunities in an environment alive with innovation and possibility.

We can include that as part of About the role. Now Responsibilities: list after "Your key duties". The bullet points: - Conduct energy, carbon, water, and/or waste analyses to identify opportunities to reduce environmental impact and resource consumption, and to evaluate and measure outcomes - Contribute to sustainability, resilience, climate action, and climate adaptation projects, supporting the development of strategic plans for clients across a range of sectors - Prepare client deliverables including presentations, technical memoranda, reports, graphics, maps, and data visualizations - Evaluate site-level sustainability strategies related to utilities, stormwater management, civil infrastructure, and/or multi-modal mobility systems - Assess the feasibility of renewable energy systems and/or mobility solutions, research emerging technologies, and identify applicable funding and incentive opportunities - Develop client-facing communication materials and dashboards that effectively convey technical findings and recommendations. - Collaborate with engineers, architects, planners, and sustainability consultants in an interdisciplinary environment to deliver innovative and impactful solutions We'll put each as
- .
Now Requirements: includes education and skills.
Education bullet: "The successful candidate will be on track to complete a bachelor's or master's degree in environmental science, urban planning or policy, civil engineering, energy engineering, transportation planning, or a related field."
Then "The following skills and experiences are desirable:" then bullet list:

- A proactive approach to problem-solving and a willingness to learn and develop professionally

We'll include all as
- .
Now Pay: "Salary range of $80,000 to $83,000. This will be determined based on factors such as geographic location, skills, education, and/or experience"
We'll put that in
. Now Benefits: The "What we offer" paragraph: "We offer Salary range of $80,000 to $83,000. This will be determined based on factors such as geographic location, skills, education, and/or experience Generous benefits package Annual discretionary bonus Generous PTO (4 weeks) in addition to 10 paid holidays 401k with company match Hybrid working & summer hours Reimbursement for certain professional licenses and associated renewals and exam fees Connection to global network of experts on the forefront of industry initiatives Access to wide ranging learning and development opportunities Connect with colleagues and build your network through our Employee Resource Groups, including the Young Employees Forum, Diversity & Inclusion Forum, Women's Network, Wellness Committee, and Black at Buro Happold" But we already used salary in Pay section, so we should not repeat salary in Benefits. We'll exclude salary from Benefits. Thus Benefits content: - Generous benefits package - Annual discretionary bonus - Generous PTO (4 weeks) in addition to 10 paid holidays - 401k with company match - Hybrid working & summer hours - Reimbursement for certain professional licenses and associated renewals and exam fees - Connection to global network of experts on the forefront of industry initiatives - Access to wide ranging learning and development opportunities - Connect with colleagues and build your network through our Employee Resource Groups, including the Young Employees Forum, Diversity & Inclusion Forum, Women's Network, Wellness Committee, and Black at Buro Happold We'll put each as
- . Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Ready for something a little less ordinary? Apply now..." etc. That's application instructions, should be removed. Also "Learn more about our office locations A place for everyone Buro Happold values an individual's flexible approaches to working patterns..." That's more about flexibility and inclusion; could be considered part of Benefits or About the role? It's about flexible working patterns, diversity, inclusion. It's substantive but maybe belongs in Benefits or About the role. However it's after the "What we offer" block. It includes: "Ready for something a little less ordinary? Apply now to start your career journey with us. Learn more about our office locations A place for everyone Buro Happold values an individual's flexible approaches to working patterns as an important part of how you work and achieve balance. We welcome applications from those who are seeking flexibility in their careers. Our exceptional portfolio of projects is the result of the diversity of thought, identities, backgrounds, and experiences that shape us. Appreciating each other’s differences is key, we want employees to feel they don’t have to mask elements of their identity to thrive. We are working to change the lack of representation of marginalised groups in the built environment. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who feels they are underrepresented in the industry. We have much to learn from one another. Embracing differences allows us to develop the most innovative and elegant solutions. Please let us know if there are any adjustments we could make to the application process to make it easier and more comfortable for you. Contact recruitment@burohappold.com so we can work with you to support you throughout your application." This includes EEO/diversity statement and application instructions. According to rules, we should remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the diversity/EEO paragraph and the application instructions (Apply now, contact email, etc.). Also "Learn more about our office locations" maybe not needed. So we will exclude that entire block. Thus final
