Group Manager, Mechanical Engineering

We need to output 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 preserve all substantive info, no invented summary. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions. Must not include placeholder sections like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting includes location and work arrangement, hybrid schedule, travel up to 20%, etc. It includes benefits list. It includes salary range for Duluth and Bloomington. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe required qualifications), Qualifications (advantageous qualifications), Skills (maybe technical skills), Benefits (list), Pay (salary ranges), Schedule (hybrid work arrangement, travel). Need to ensure we don't duplicate content. We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract content. Intro paragraph: "Our employee-owned and multi-disciplined team of engineering and design professionals is looking for an experienced mechanical engineer with engaging leadership skills, a demonstrated ability to cultivate and enhance relationships with prospective and current clients, and a vast knowledge of various mechanical systems to join our team as the Mechanical Group Manager within our Mining division." That's about the role. Responsibilities: As a Group Manager, you will be responsible for the growth, direction, financial performance, and leadership of our Mining Mechanical team, which provides HVAC, balance-of-plant, process mechanical, piping, ventilation, and related engineering solutions for mining, mineral processing, aggregate, metals, and other heavy industrial operations. As a leader, you will coach and mentor a talented team of engineering professionals and be responsible for their professional development in relation to overall team objectives and their professional aspirations. From a design capacity, you will be seen as a technical expert and will therefore be responsible for providing technical guidance and insight to project teams and project managers throughout the full lifecycle of a project. On occasion, you will serve as the lead mechanical engineer and leverage your technical knowledge to provide and oversee quality assurance and quality control efforts. As necessary, you will assume the role of project manager and collaborate with a multi-disciplined team of engineering (civil, electrical, mechanical, and structural) and design professionals to evaluate the scope, complexity and scheduling requirements of various projects, manage overall project and discipline budgets, coordinate planning strategies to ensure successful project execution from conception through construction, and negotiate contracts. Under our “Seller-Doer” approach to business development, you will collaborate with the Vice President of Mining, Market Managers, and other Group Managers to develop and implement a marketing plan, track prospective business opportunities, make strategic decisions for project pursuits, lead proposal development efforts, and represent TKDA at project interviews. You will also be expected to cultivate and maintain relations with key decision makers and representatives of current and prospective clients by attending local and regional conferences and networking events. Location and Work Arrangement: This position could be based out of Duluth, MN or Bloomington, MN; however, candidates must reside within regular commuting distance from one of the two locations. TKDA offers flexible hybrid work arrangements, with employees typically working three days in the office and two days remotely, in alignment with business needs. Regular travel to other TKDA offices, project or client locations, and industry-specific conferences will be required. Required Qualifications: list bullet points. Advantageous Qualifications: list bullet points. Benefits: list bullet points under "Join Our 100% Employee-Owned Firm" and "Comprehensive Benefits". Also mention "Upon receiving a formal offer, you will get a personalized Total Compensation Overview (TCO) to see how everything adds up and what it looks like to be part of our community." Pay: The listed salary range reflects only the starting base pay range for candidates with 15-25 years of related experience in our Duluth, Minnesota office. Compensation is determined based on technical skills, experience level, and qualifications. Candidates with more experience or different compensation expectations are encouraged to apply. All candidates are evaluated on the full scope of what they bring to the role. - The base compensation range for this position out of our Bloomington, MN would be $131,500 - 163,500. We need to include both Duluth and Bloomington ranges? The text says: "The listed salary range reflects only the starting base pay range for candidates with 15-25 years of related experience in our Duluth, Minnesota office." It didn't give the Duluth range explicitly earlier? Actually earlier they didn't give Duluth range; they gave Bloomington range. So we need to include both: Duluth range not given explicitly; maybe it's implied earlier? The text: "The listed salary range reflects only the starting base pay range for candidates with 15-25 years of related experience in our Duluth, Minnesota office." But they didn't state the Duluth range; maybe it's omitted. We should not invent. So we can only include the Bloomington range as stated. Also mention that compensation is determined based on skills etc. Schedule: hybrid work arrangement (3 days office, 2 days remote) and regular travel required. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, diversity statement, visa sponsorship, pre-employment screening, notice to recruiters, etc. Remove those. Now produce HTML with headings

for each section. Use

• for lists. Use

  for prose. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (the long paragraph). Requirements (maybe combine Required Qualifications and Advantageous Qualifications? But we have separate sections for Requirements and Qualifications per instruction. Could treat Required Qualifications as Requirements, Advantageous Qualifications as Qualifications. Skills maybe we can extract from Required Qualifications: MS Office Suite, communication, etc. But we could also put those under Skills. However we must not create thin sections. Let's see: We have Required Qualifications list (PE, 15+ years, 5 years managing, coaching experience, technical reports, MS Office, communication, ability to work outside hours, travel up to 20%). Advantageous Qualifications list (multiple state PE, AutoCAD/Revit/SolidWorks, active member). Skills could be things like MS Office, communication, presentation, etc. But we already have those in Required Qualifications. Might be redundant. Perhaps better to have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (combining Required Qualifications), Qualifications (Advantageous), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Skills maybe not needed if covered. But instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't require all; we include only those with real content. So we can include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Skills maybe not needed if we don't have distinct skills list beyond what's in Requirements. However we could extract skills like "MS Office Suite", "written and verbal communication", "presentation skills". But those are already in Requirements. Could still make a Skills section but risk duplication. Better to omit Skills if not distinct. Thus sections: - About the role: intro paragraph. - Responsibilities: the paragraph(s) describing duties. - Requirements: list of Required Qualifications. - Qualifications: list of Advantageous Qualifications. - Benefits: list of benefits. - Pay: paragraph about salary range (Bloomington) and note about determination. - Schedule: paragraph about hybrid work arrangement and travel. Make sure to preserve all substantive info: include location info, hybrid arrangement, travel up to 20% (mentioned in Required Qualifications). Also mention regular travel to other offices, project/client locations, conferences. Check that we didn't miss any substantive info: The intro about employee-owned team, looking for mechanical engineer etc. That's covered. Responsibilities includes all bullet-like sentences; we can keep as prose or break into list? The instruction: Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are a series of duties; could be formatted as list for clarity. But we can also keep as prose

    . The instruction says use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid using

      for prose; but if it's a list, better to use list. However the responsibilities are not explicitly bullet list in source; they are sentences separated by periods. Could still be formatted as list items. I'd choose to use

      • for responsibilities to follow instruction. Similarly for Required Qualifications and Advantageous Qualifications and Benefits. Thus:
