We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job posting. Let's extract content: Intro: "See it differently You see the world through a unique lens and that’s exactly what we need. We embrace how you see things differently – it’s essential for creating a sustainable future. Arup is a global consultancy with advisory and technical expertise across more than 150 disciplines. We guide, plan and design the future of the built environment. Globally, each year we recruit hundreds of graduates and students who help us see things differently and solve the most complex challenges facing our clients, climate and communities." That's about the company, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe includes description of role. The posting includes "The opportunity" bullet list of duties. Let's parse sections: - About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph about Arup and the role? Could be "The opportunity Support the delivery of strategy, planning, and implementation projects focused on sustainability, decarbonization, ESG, resilience and resource conservation ..." That's responsibilities. Better to follow typical sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (must-have), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (maybe overlapping), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what content goes where. Let's extract responsibilities from "The opportunity" bullet list (actually sentences). The text after "The opportunity" includes many sentences describing duties: - Support the delivery of strategy, planning, and implementation projects focused on sustainability, decarbonization, ESG, resilience and resource conservation - Assist clients in pursuing, tracking, and complying with various net zero or other sustainability frameworks, such as LEED, WELL, Fitwel, Living Building Challenge, Envision, etc. - Contribute to projects at various stages of ideation or implementation at various scales of intervention, from single measures to fit-outs, to master-planning, and infrastructure developments - Conduct research into a variety of sustainability, decarbonization, resilience, and equity topics (e.g., architectural materials and technology, funding/financing/incentives, sustainability and/or resilience policy, health of communities, and social equity) - Develop lifecycle cost calculations, water balance calculations, building energy models, renewable and distributed energy feasibility studies, operational and embodied carbon calculations, or resilience assessments, under guidance from more senior members of the team - Conduct site visits for field data collection and actively participate in internal or external client meetings along with more senior members of the team - Contribute to project deliverables including presentations and reports, managing sub-tasks to assist the team in tracking project deliverables and schedules - Develop sketches, charts, graphics, and other digital illustrations of sustainability concepts to visualize design strategies for client presentations and other external needs That's responsibilities. Now requirements: The section "Is this role right for you?" includes bullet list of must-have qualifications: - Bachelor’s Degree in building or community design/engineering field or related science, such as Architecture, Building Science, Mechanical/Electrical/Public Health/Civil/Environmental Engineering, City Planning, Environmental Science/Policy/Management, or similar - Proficient in use of software like MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, interactive Adobe PDFs - Knowledge of sustainability frameworks such as LEED, WELL, Fitwel, Living Building Challenge, Envision, etc. - Demonstrated foundational understanding of concepts related to sustainability, operational/embodied carbon, climate change, resilience, lifecycle costs, distributed energy resources, social equity, and environmental justice issues - Excellent time management skills, with ability to prioritize and multi-task in a fast-paced environment. - Exceptional research, writing, communication, and presentation skills to communicate work in a clear, concise, and logical format - Strong analytical, quantitative, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities - For positions in the US, proficiency in written and spoken English is required - Candidate must be eligible to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsored work authorization now or in the future These are requirements. Qualifications (preferred): The section after "Preferred" includes: - Preferred Master’s degree in building or community design/engineering field or related science, such as Architecture, Building Science, Mechanical/Electrical/Energy/Environmental Engineering, City Planning, Environmental Science/Policy/Management, or similar - Internship or prior work experience with a consulting, planning, or design firm, or government agency focused on sustainability, decarbonization, environmental initiatives - Knowledge of building energy simulation, whole-life carbon, and graphic communication software, such as, IES VE, Rhino + Grasshopper, EnergyPlus, SketchUp, OpenStudio, Tally, Athena Impact Estimator, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, etc. - Familiarity with traditional but also new innovative building systems and technologies (e.g., advanced lighting, heat recovery, heat pumps, low-carbon concrete) - Professional accreditation under a sustainability rating framework such as LEED or WELL accredited professional - Successful completion of coursework in sustainability, operational/embodied carbon, climate change, resilience, lifecycle costs, distributed energy resources, social equity, and environmental justice issues Also there is a section "To Be Considered For a Graduate Opportunity, Your Application Must Include a Copy Of Your Cv/resume And Meet The Following Criteria" which repeats eligibility and experience constraints: No more than 12 months of full-time experience in a comparable role; Recently graduated, or on track to graduate, from your most recent degree, related to your role of choice, before employment starts; Alongside your degree, we look for the following core attributes; Changemakers: A passion for sustainable development and creating a better world is key. Innovative minds: We’re looking for critical thinkers who embrace new ideas and challenge the status quo. Growth seekers: You have a growth mindset, always eager to learn and explore new ways of working. Adaptable adventurers: You’re ready to take on any challenge that comes your way. These could be considered as "Requirements" or maybe "Qualifications"? They are more about eligibility and attributes. Could be placed under "Requirements" as additional criteria, or maybe under "Skills"? The core attributes are more like personal qualities. We need to decide sections: About the role (intro about Arup and role), Responsibilities (the opportunity list), Requirements (must-have: degree, software proficiency, frameworks knowledge, foundational understanding, time management, research/writing/communication/presentation, analytical, English proficiency, work eligibility), Qualifications (preferred: Master's degree, internship experience, specific software knowledge, familiarity with innovative systems, professional accreditation, coursework), Skills (maybe combine some of the skill-based items like time management, research/writing/communication/presentation, analytical, etc.) but we already have those in Requirements. Could move them to Skills. However we must not duplicate content. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can allocate them to appropriate sections without duplication. Better approach: Use sections as per typical job posting: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe core competencies), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Benefits described later: "What we offer you At Arup, we care about each member’s success, so we can grow together. Guided by our values, we provide an attractive total reward package that recognises the contribution of each of our members to our shared success. As well as competitive, fair and equitable pay, we offer a career in which all of our members can belong, grow and thrive – through benefits that support health and wellbeing, a wide range of learning opportunities and many possibilities to have an impact through the work they do.

As a valued employee of Arup, you can also choose to participate in our 401(k) plan with up to 10% company match to help you save for your future" That's benefits content. Pay: "New York Hiring Range – Hiring Range - The good faith base salary hiring range for this job if performed in New York $79,500 to $86,500 per year. This range is commensurate with experience, educational background, and skill level. Benefits are not included in the base salary. Please note hiring ranges for candidates performing work outside of New York will differ." Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's mention of flexible working approach but not specific schedule. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Schedule, we don't have explicit schedule (e.g., full-time, part-time, hours). There's mention of flexible working but not a defined schedule. So we should NOT include a Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" in Pay section? The Pay section includes that phrase; but we should include the actual range. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". So we cannot have a Pay section that only says "commensurate with experience". However we have actual numbers: $79,500 to $86,500 per year. The phrase "This range is commensurate with experience, educational background, and skill level." is filler but we can keep it as part of the description; it's not just filler alone. The section will have substantive content (the range). So it's okay. Now we need to avoid repeating job title. Not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to cut out the EEO statement at the end ("Different people, shared values Arup is an equal opportunity employer...") and the accessibility statement, etc. Also remove "Next steps" etc. Also remove "To Be Considered For a Graduate Opportunity..."? That includes eligibility criteria etc. Some of that is substantive (like eligibility, experience limit, recent graduate). Those are requirements. We should incorporate them into Requirements or Qualifications. But we must not include the heading "To Be Considered For a Graduate Opportunity..." as a heading; we just incorporate its content. Also remove "See it differently" maybe part of intro but we can keep as part of About the role. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings,
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide which content is list vs prose. Responsibilities: list of duties ->

    • . Requirements: list of must-have items ->
      • . Qualifications: list of preferred ->
        • . Skills: maybe list of core attributes
