We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role: description of role, location, hybrid work model, etc. Could be "What You Will Do" and "What You’ll Be Challenged To Do". Combine into About the role? Or maybe separate sections: About the role and Responsibilities. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - What You Will Do (intro) – about role, location, hybrid, etc. - What You’ll Be Challenged To Do – responsibilities list. - Education | Experience: What You Will Bring To Our Firm – qualifications/requirements. - Compensation – salary range. - Featured Benefits – benefits list. - Company Overview – maybe not needed? Could be About the role? But we can include as About the role? The instruction says include a section only when posting has real specific content. Company Overview is generic but still substantive. However we might not need a separate heading for it; could fold into About the role? But we have no heading for Company Overview in list. Could treat as About the role? Probably better to include About the role covering the intro and company overview. - Location, Core Business Hours, Employment Status – could be Schedule? Schedule maybe includes core business hours. But we have no explicit schedule info besides core business hours 8-5. Could include Schedule section with that. - Pay: we have salary range. - Benefits: we have list. - Skills: maybe we can extract skills from requirements: Proficient in MicroStation, OpenRoads, Microsoft Office; strong organizational, written, verbal communication; ability to work in team, self-starter, etc. Could be Skills section. - Requirements: maybe Education/Experience: Bachelor's degree, PE license, 8+ years experience, etc. - Qualifications: maybe similar to Requirements? Could combine. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive info. Thus we need to extract each piece and place under appropriate heading. Let's list substantive info: Intro/About the role: - GFT continues to grow, seeking emerging Highway/Roadway Project Engineer to support Transportation group in Kansas City, MO; St. Louis, MO; Wichita, KS; or Omaha, NE locations. - Hybrid work model, requiring minimum 3 days onsite office attendance. - Working on roadway team offers opportunity to engage in transformative projects enhancing transportation infrastructure and improve community connectivity. - Work on highways and bridges or traffic engineering; team excels in resilient, sustainable design and construction, delivering innovative solutions addressing complexities of modern multimodal roadway systems ensuring safe, efficient, reliable travel. - Explore some of our signature roadway projects here.

Company Overview (maybe About the role? Could be separate but not in list). Could include as About the role? Already have some. Could add a paragraph about GFT: privately held AEC firm, innovate where transportation, water, power, buildings converge; Infrastructure of Life; measure success by strength of relationships; employer of choice for 5,000+; clients choose for expertise, nimble approach, creativity, personal touch; backed by over a century’s experience; building lasting legacy; GFT: Ingenuity That Shapes Lives™ is an Equal Opportunity Employer... But EEO boilerplate should be removed per instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should strip that line. Also remove unsolicited resumes line, location line? Location we might keep as part of About the role? But location is substantive; we can include in About the role. Core Business Hours and Employment Status could go under Schedule? Or maybe we create a Schedule section with core business hours and employment status (Full-Time). The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content. We have core business hours 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM and employment status Full-Time. That's specific. So we can make a Schedule section with those details. We also have location list; we can include in About the role. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must not include navigation/legal/EEO/scams etc. Thus final HTML:
