Landscape Designer I
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting.
The posting includes:
- Intro: "HELP US SHAPE THE LANDSCAPES, PUBLIC SPACES, AND PLACES THAT MAKE CITIES BETTER. Come join our Boston studio as a Landscape Designer I. We hold fast to our values - diversity, collaboration, and innovation - and we're only half-joking when we tell people to "run until apprehended." We see our studio less like an office and more like a test lab: a place to ask questions, explore ideas, draw, make, test, and learn from one another."
That's about the role/overview.
- Then: "As a Landscape Designer I, you will contribute to the design of landscapes and public spaces at a range of scales while developing your skills as part of a collaborative and interdisciplinary design team. Working with landscape architects, urban designers, architects, planners, and other specialists, you will assist throughout the design process under routine guidance and contribute to the overall success of the team by adhering to firm and project goals and standards of excellence in landscape design, execution, and Living Design."
Then a list of bullet points (starting with "You will be:" then many items). Those are responsibilities/duties.
Then "Typical Years of Requisite Experience: 1-3+ years" (experience requirement). "Professional Licensure: Not Required" etc.
Then "Advancement to subsequent positions is contingent upon fulfilling the requirements of that role."
Then "Proficiencies" list: BIM, Building codes, Site analysis, Preliminary design studies, Contract documents, Field measurements, Data analytics, Graphical support, Design communication and presentation, Digital and physical modelling.
Then "Software" list: Functional knowledge of 2D/3D production software, Basic to Intermediate Revit, Conceptual modelling tools such as Rhino and Grasshopper, Microsoft Office / Adobe Suite, Visualization tools such as Enscape and VRay, Physical modelling tools such as 3D printing and laser cutting, Presentation tools such as InDesign and Photoshop, Environmental analysis software such as Ladybug and Climate Studio.
Then "Licensure/Certifications/Education": Bachelor's degree in landscape architecture, architecture, or related field required; Professional Accreditation in one area of Living Design that interests you: LEED AP with Specialty, BREEAM AP, WELL AP, SITES AP, Passive House Institute Certified Passive House Consultant/Designer CPHC/CPHD, or ILFI Living Future Accreditation; Preparing for LARE.
Then "We foster a culture that is diverse and inclusive and strive for pay practices that are fair, competitive, and reflect our commitment to pay equity." etc. Then salary range: "At the time of posting this job advertisement, the annual salary range for this position in Boston is between $60,300 - $77,000". That's Pay.
Then "Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion" etc. That's benefits? Not exactly benefits but maybe part of culture. The instruction: include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. There's no explicit benefits like health insurance, retirement, etc. So we should not create Benefits section unless there is real content. There's mention of pay practices, but not benefits. So we can skip Benefits.
Schedule: not mentioned. So skip Schedule.
We need sections: About the role (maybe overview), Responsibilities (the bullet list), Requirements (experience, licensure?), Qualifications (education, certifications), Skills (proficiencies, software). Could combine some.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions). The posting includes EEO statements etc at end; we should remove those. Also remove "Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion" maybe considered boilerplate? It's about diversity but not a benefit; but it's still EEO-ish. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should drop that section. Also remove "Equal Employment Opportunity Statement" etc.
We need to keep the salary range (Pay). Keep the description of values, studio culture etc as part of About the role.
We need to keep the list of responsibilities (the bullet points after "You will be:").
We need to keep Typical Years of Requisite Experience, Professional Licensure, Advancement note.
We need to keep Proficiencies list.
We need to keep Software list.
We need to keep Licensure/Certifications/Education (degree, accreditation, preparing for LARE).
We need to keep pay practices and salary range.
We need to keep maybe the statement about fostering culture diverse and inclusive and pay practices? That's somewhat EEO but also about pay practices; but we might keep as part of About the role or maybe as a separate section? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The statement about fostering a culture that is diverse and inclusive and strive for pay practices that are fair, competitive, and reflect our commitment to pay equity. That's somewhat EEO but also about pay practices. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's also substantive about pay practices. However we already have Pay section with salary range. The statement about pay practices could be included in Pay section as prose. But we need to decide.
Better to keep the pay practices statement as part of Pay section (since it's about pay). The EEO statement about non-discriminatory basis etc should be removed.
Thus final HTML:
