Land Surveying CAD Technician

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Overview? The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: 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") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes: Overview (Location, Practice/Department, Work Environment, Compensation). Then Position Overview (Who You Are, How You'll Make An Impact). Then Duties And Responsibilities (list). Then Minimum Qualifications. Then Preferred Qualifications. Then Compensation again (duplicate). Then Working Conditions, Physical Requirements. Then Connect with us (social media). Then EEO boilerplate (to remove). Also there is a note about drug test background check. We need to produce sections like: About the role (maybe Overview), Responsibilities (Duties), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Skills (maybe Preferred Qualifications?), Benefits? Not given. Pay: compensation given: $38.00-47.50/hourly. So we can include Pay section. Schedule: not given (Hybrid work environment mentioned). Work Environment: Hybrid. Could be Schedule? Not exactly. Could treat Work Environment as maybe "Work Environment" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map content accordingly. We have location, practice/department, work environment (Hybrid). Could be part of About the role. We have compensation (Pay). We have duties (Responsibilities). We have minimum qualifications (Requirements). We have preferred qualifications (maybe Skills or Qualifications). We have working conditions and physical requirements maybe could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? But we can create a section "Working Conditions" not in allowed list; maybe we should not create extra headings. The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we should use those headings when appropriate. It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but to follow the pattern. Probably best to stick to those. Thus we can have:

About the role

with location, practice/department, work environment, compensation? But compensation separate Pay section. Better: About the role includes location, practice/department, work environment, brief overview of role. Pay section: compensation. Responsibilities: duties list. Requirements: minimum qualifications. Skills: preferred qualifications (maybe also include skills like AutoCAD, etc). Could also include "Skills" for both minimum and preferred? But we have separate sections. We need to avoid duplication. Also need to remove boilerplate like EEO, drug test background check? The drug test and background check is substantive? It's a condition of employment; maybe we keep it under Requirements? It's a condition, not a qualification. Could be placed in About the role or Requirements. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep that info. Where to place? Could be a short paragraph under About the role or Requirements. Since it's a condition, maybe under Requirements as a note. Also "Successful candidates must pass a pre-employment drug test and background check prior to beginning employment." That's substantive. Also "Working Conditions" and "Physical Requirements" are substantive. We need to include them somewhere. Could be under Requirements or maybe under About the role? But we have no heading for Working Conditions. Could we create a section "Working Conditions"? Not in allowed list but maybe acceptable if we need to preserve info. The instruction says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. However, to be safe, we could embed Working Conditions and Physical Requirements within the Requirements section as subpoints (maybe as

paragraphs). That would preserve info without extra headings. Similarly, "Connect with us!" social media links are maybe not substantive for job description; could be considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO, but it's promotional. Might be considered not essential; but instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Social media links are not those; but they might be considered navigation? Probably safe to keep? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; social media links are not substantive to the job. Might be considered boilerplate? I'd lean to remove them as they are not essential job info. However, they are not explicitly listed to remove. But they are like "Connect with us!" which is promotional. I'd remove to keep focused. Also "Learn more about our award-winning culture , the benefits and perks of being a Dudekian , and the projects you will have the opportunity to shape." That's promotional; could be removed as boilerplate? It's not EEO but maybe considered fluff. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; this is more marketing. Might be considered not substantive. I'd remove. Also "Dudek’s journey began in 1980..." etc is company overview; could be considered substantive? It's background about company. Might be considered not essential to job but still substantive. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does not say to remove company overview. However, they said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company overview is not those. So we might keep it. But we need to avoid too many thin sections. Could incorporate into About the role. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft:

• Ability to contribute to drafting standards and QA/QC processes.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy in technical deliverables.
• Motivated, curious, and willing to learn emerging survey technologies.

We might also include Working Conditions and Physical Requirements as part of Requirements or Skills? Could add a paragraph under Requirements after the list: "Working Conditions: This job operates in a remote or office‑based environment with occasional project site visits outdoors, which may include excessive noise, uneven walking surfaces, extreme weather, and moving vehicles and equipment." Then Physical Requirements: list. We could add a

after the Requirements list: "

Working Conditions: ...

Physical Requirements: ...

" That preserves info without extra heading. Let's incorporate. Thus final HTML:
