We need to output HTML fragment with sections using
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities? Actually headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. We need to preserve substantive info: description about Corgan, role, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, schedule (full-time on-site), maybe benefits? Not mentioned. Pay not mentioned. Benefits not mentioned. So we should not include Pay, Benefits, Schedule unless present. Schedule is present: "This position is designated as full-time on-site and requires the employee to be physically present at the assigned office location Monday through Friday during standard business hours. Regular, reliable on-site attendance is an essential function of this role." That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section. Benefits: Not mentioned. Pay: Not mentioned. So omit those. We need sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's parse content. Intro paragraph: "At Corgan we are passionate about great design but the best thing we build is each other. Here, you’ll find camaraderie and collaboration as abundantly as curiosity and creativity. Corgan is a welcoming and supportive environment that provides significant career advantages. You’ll find room to grow, freedom to explore — and the safety to fail. Thank you for your interest in joining our curious, passionate, hardworking team. Corgan is actively recruiting a dynamic Interior Design Project Manager to join the firm as part of our Aviation & Transportation studio in our Dallas office location." That's about the role/company. Could be About the role. Then: "Tackle these responsibilities alongside a team of creative, highly motivated individuals who are passionate about their work and ready to collaborate to achieve outstanding results. Our ideal team member is passionate and progressively seeking more responsibilities to expand their expertise. Here, you’ll find collaboration, curiosity, and freedom to explore bold ideas. Corgan is a welcoming and supportive environment where design talent thrives, leadership is nurtured, and careers flourish." Then list of responsibilities (starting with "Lead concept development..."). We need to extract responsibilities as bullet list. Responsibilities list items: - Lead concept development and guide the design narrative for aviation environments, from premium lounges to terminal interiors - Elevate the hospitality experience in travel, translating brand stories into spatial experiences that evoke emotion and belonging - Partner with clients to understand their vision and bring it to life through inspired, buildable design - Curate materials, finishes, furnishings, and details that reflect both design integrity and operational excellence - Mentor and motivate a talented team of designers, fostering a collaborative, creative culture - Lead design presentations that communicate a strong point of view with clarity and confidence - Manage project delivery, ensuring design intent carries through documentation, construction, and completion - Collaborate with architects, consultants, and brand strategists to deliver seamless, cohesive experiences - Engage with the broader design and aviation community to build relationships and identify new opportunities - Develop competitive fee structures reflecting defined scope of services for project pursuits - Establish and manage project schedules - Oversee the completion of projects on time and within fee budget - Provide leadership to staff by identifying project studio team members’ roles and responsibilities, leveraging their strengths, providing stretch opportunities, and offering mentorship - Lead and encourage open dialogue with project team regarding design and technical ideation and facilitate appropriate solutions - Motivate the project team to meet project goals through encouragement and/or course correction - Oversee the selection of materials, furnishings, fixtures, and equipment - Oversee administration of construction phase procedures and documentation (shop drawings/submittals, requests for information, and addenda/clarifications) - Drive the coordination of internal staff, external consultants and other stakeholders to achieve a cohesive and collaborative project team. - Drive each project team to seek innovation in design solutions in an ongoing spirit of curiosity, continuous improvement, and increased project performance - Oversee development and communication of appropriate project phasing - Identify solutions and effectively resolve technical challenges - Understand and apply appropriate industry standards and construction practices - Oversees, and is responsible for, the identification, understanding and documentation of regulatory agencies’ requirements, as well as recognizing and resolving code-related design issues Note: Some sentences may be duplicated or overlapping; we keep as is. Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. After responsibilities, we have: "This role is an in-office positionDegree from a CIDA accredited Interior Design program or equivalent10+ years of interior design experience, ideally across aviation, hospitality or luxury commercial sectors A portfolio that demonstrates design excellence - from concept to realizationDeep understanding of how design enhances the guest experience and brand identityFluency in Revit, and familiarity with FF&E selection, detailing and documentationStrong leadership, organizational and communication skillsProven ability to manage complex projects, teams, and client relationshipsInterest in sustainable design and innovationProfessional registration preferredAcumen for how things are built and constructability, and the ability to apply that knowledge to support the project design and budgetExperience managing a variety of consultants and contractorsProficiency or experience with managing overall project fees and schedulesDemonstrated ability to successfully manage client and team relationships including overall work plan development and sub-consultant coordination effortsConfident presentation abilityPotential travel opportunities" We need to split into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills perhaps. But we need to decide which heading to use. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple of those. We need to avoid thin sections. We'll combine similar items. Let's categorize: - Requirements: maybe education, experience, portfolio, etc. - Qualifications: maybe professional registration, etc. - Skills: specific abilities like Revit, leadership, etc. But we can also just have Requirements and Skills. Better: Use Requirements for education/experience/portfolio, Skills for technical and soft skills. Let's extract: Education/Experience/Portfolio: - Degree from a CIDA accredited Interior Design program or equivalent - 10+ years of interior design experience, ideally across aviation, hospitality or luxury commercial sectors - A portfolio that demonstrates design excellence - from concept to realization Understanding of guest experience and brand identity: maybe a qualification. - Deep understanding of how design enhances the guest experience and brand identity Professional registration preferred: maybe qualification. - Professional registration preferred Acumen for how things are built and constructability: skill. - Acumen for how things are built and constructability, and the ability to apply that knowledge to support the project design and budget Experience managing consultants/contractors: skill. - Experience managing a variety of consultants and contractors Proficiency/experience with managing overall project fees and schedules: skill. - Proficiency or experience with managing overall project fees and schedules Demonstrated ability to manage client and team relationships including work plan development and sub-consultant coordination: skill. - Demonstrated ability to successfully manage client and team relationships including overall work plan development and sub-consultant coordination efforts Confident presentation ability: skill. - Confident presentation ability Potential travel opportunities: maybe note but not a skill; could be under Schedule? Actually it's a note about travel. Could be under Responsibilities? Not exactly. Might be under "Additional Information". But we have no heading for that. Could drop as not required? It's substantive but not fitting headings. Could include under Responsibilities? Not really. Could include under Schedule? Not. Could include under Benefits? Not. Might be okay to include as a brief paragraph under About the role? Might be considered extra. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep "Potential travel opportunities". Where to place? Could be under Responsibilities as a bullet? It's not a responsibility but a note. Could be under "About the role" as a sentence. Let's add a sentence after responsibilities: "Potential travel opportunities may be part of the role." But we must not invent; we need to keep exact phrase? The phrase is "Potential travel opportunities". We could add a
Potential travel opportunities.
under About the role or Responsibilities. Better to add a short paragraph under About the role after the intro. Now schedule: we have that paragraph. Now we need to output HTML fragment. Structure:About the role
