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, remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, EEO etc.
We need to parse the posting.
First paragraph: "HOK is a collective of future-forward thinkers..." This is about the company, maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for description of role. The first paragraph describes HOK and then "In this role you will interpret, organize and execute the conceptual design of a project. Utilizing creativity, foresight and judgment you will meet project requirements and objectives through project completion." That's about the role. So we can put that in
About the role
with acontaining that description. Next: "Responsibilities" heading appears in the text: "Responsibilities Leadership Conducts programming efforts ..." The text includes many responsibilities. We need to extract responsibilities list. There's duplication: "Conducts programming efforts such as space planning, layout and utilization of furnishings and equipment, lighting and color coordination." appears twice. Also "Responsible for selection and specification of furniture, lighting, flooring, wall covering and artwork." etc. We need to produce a
- list of duties. Should we combine similar items? We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. But we can deduplicate identical lines? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Removing duplicate lines could be considered summarizing away detail? Might be okay to avoid duplication but we need to be careful. Probably we can keep each unique responsibility; duplicates are just repeated inadvertently. We'll deduplicate.
Then after responsibilities, there is "Teamwork" subheading? Actually after responsibilities there is "Teamwork Renders conceptual design ideas..." That seems like more responsibilities but under teamwork. Could be part of responsibilities as well. Then "Client Interface", "Staff Development", "Business Development". Those could be separate sections? The instruction says use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should put all duties under Responsibilities heading. So we can combine all bullet points from Responsibilities, Teamwork, Client Interface, Staff Development, Business Development into one responsibilities list.
Then after that we have "Education & Experience Requirements". That includes requirements: bachelor's degree, 5+ years experience, NCIDQ or registered architect, NCARB preferred, LEED credential within 12 months. Also "Other Travel will be required. Overtime will be required." Also "The job duties and requirements that this document describes may be altered or supplemented at any time at the sole discretion of HOK." That's maybe a note but could be considered boilerplate? It's a disclaimer; maybe we should keep as part of Requirements? It's substantive but maybe it's a generic statement. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This line is not exactly legal boilerplate but it's a disclaimer about alteration; might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to keep it as part of Requirements? It's about job duties may be altered; could be considered generic. I'd keep it as a note under Requirements.
Then "Compensation is based on experience, qualifications, education and location. The reasonably expected annual salary range for this position is $75,000 to $85,000. Other compensation may include a discretionary bonus." That's Pay section.
Then "Many of our roles require the use of specific software. Please refer to the Required and Preferred Software & Skills for details." That's about Skills but no specifics given; we should not create Skills section unless posting actually states them. It mentions software but no details; we could treat as Skills but we have no specific list. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. For Skills, similar? It says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So Skills is allowed if there is real specific content. The posting mentions software but no specifics; we could not create Skills section because no specific skills listed. Better to omit Skills. Then benefits: "HOK invests in its people and communities, supporting both personal and professional growth through every stage of life. At HOK you’ll have a hybrid work environment, 10 paid holidays (including 2 floating holidays) and a minimum of 4 weeks of paid time off with a cash out option. HOK offers comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, free mental wellness resources, life and AD&D coverage and short and long-term disability benefits. HOK supports your growing family by offering 4 weeks of paid parental leave and fertility coverage. HOK helps to fund your future financial needs with matching contributions to our 401(K) plan which includes a well-rounded investment menu as well as free guidance on retirement planning. Wherever you are in your career, HOK provides opportunities to learn, develop and utilize your skills. Continued learning is promoted through financial support and study prep for licensure exams, CEU credit opportunities, mentorship programs, and paid professional memberships." That's Benefits section. Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's hybrid work environment but not schedule. No explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, hours. So we should not create Schedule section. Qualifications: The posting has Education & Experience Requirements; maybe that covers Qualifications. There's also "Requires a bachelor’s degree..." etc. That's qualifications. Could also have "Qualifications" heading separate from Requirements? The instruction lists both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide what to put where. Usually Requirements are things like degree, experience; Qualifications could be certifications, licenses. But we can combine. However we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for Requirements (education, experience, licensure, LEED). We could also have Qualifications for things like "professional Interior Designer", "registered Architect", "NCARB registration preferred". That's still qualifications. Might be redundant. Safer to have one section: Requirements (or Qualifications). Which heading to use? The list includes both; we need to pick appropriate. The posting says "Education & Experience Requirements". So heading Requirements fits. We'll use
Requirements
. We might also have a separate Qualifications for things like "LEED credential required within 12 months of employment." That's still a requirement. So we can keep everything under Requirements. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown. We'll produce:About the role

Pay
The reasonably expected annual salary range for this position is $75,000 to $85,000. Other compensation may include a discretionary bonus.
We might also include a sentence about compensation based on experience etc. That's part of Pay. Now we need to extract specific content. About the role paragraph: "HOK is a collective of future-forward thinkers and designers who are driven to face the critical challenges of our time. We are dedicated to improving people's lives, serving our clients and healing the planet. Together, we cultivate a culture of design excellence at the confluence of art and science, blending the power of creative expression with a clear sense of purpose. In this role you will interpret, organize and execute the conceptual design of a project.
