Lead Archaeologist - Principal Investigator in Pacific NW U.S.

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About The Opportunity", "About SWCA", "What you will accomplish", "Additional Job-Specific Responsibilities", "Minimum Qualifications", "Experience And Qualifications For Success", "Preferred Qualifications", "Other Job Conditions", "Pay Range", "Closing". We must use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to appropriate headings. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove closing about accommodation? That's maybe part of EEO? It's about accommodation due to disability - that's EEO related; we should remove. Also "If you require assistance with the application process" is application instruction; remove. "Use of Technology in Hiring" maybe not needed? It's about hiring process; could be considered boilerplate? Might be considered part of application instructions; better to remove. "Equal Opportunity Employer" definitely remove. Also "Closing" heading maybe not needed if it's just accommodation etc. We'll drop that. We need to preserve all substantive information: role description, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. Also pay range and benefits. We need sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe from About The Opportunity), Responsibilities (What you will accomplish + Additional Job-Specific Responsibilities), Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications + Experience And Qualifications For Success + Preferred Qualifications + Other Job Conditions?), Skills (maybe from qualifications), Benefits (from Total Rewards), Pay (Pay Range). Schedule? Not mentioned except hybrid/remote and travel 20%; maybe schedule not explicit; we can omit Schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay range is specific, so include Pay. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include details like location (Pacific Northwest, may be based anywhere within Pacific Northwest, reporting to director, hybrid/remote). Also mention that it's regular full-time salaried exempt with benefits. Also mention employee-owned, ESOP, 401(k) profit sharing, medical dental vision, paid time off, wellness programs, professional development. Also mention Application Deadline? That's application instruction; we should remove. But maybe it's substantive? It's about process; but instruction to apply; we should remove as per rule: remove application instructions. So drop. Also remove "About SWCA" maybe we can incorporate into About the role? But we have a section About SWCA; we could keep as "About the Company" but not in allowed headings list? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for those categories. Probably we should stick to those headings. So we need to map content accordingly. Thus sections: - About the role: include description of opportunity, team, location, hybrid/remote, full-time salaried exempt with benefits, reporting line. - Responsibilities: combine "What you will accomplish" and "Additional Job-Specific Responsibilities". Could be a list. - Requirements: maybe combine Minimum Qualifications and Experience And Qualifications For Success? Or we could have Qualifications section for education/experience, and Skills for technical skills. But we have allowed headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We'll use: - Requirements: maybe minimum years experience, degree, ability to be listed on permits, etc. - Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications (PhD, 10 years supervisory, etc.) - Skills: technical writing, QC, communication, problem-solving, ability to travel, etc. But we need to preserve all details; we can split. - Benefits: from Total Rewards. - Pay: Pay Range. - Schedule: maybe hybrid/remote and travel 20%? Could be considered schedule. We'll include Schedule section with hybrid/remote work environment and travel expectation. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each heading has substantive content. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, application instructions, etc. We removed those. Check for any leftover boilerplate: The "Closing" section we omitted. The "About SWCA" we integrated into About the role? We didn't include explicit About SWCA paragraph; we could incorporate some of that into About the role or Benefits? The About SWCA paragraph includes employee-owned, North Star, core values, collaborative environment, etc. That's substantive about company; we could add to About the role or maybe a separate section but not in allowed headings. Could add to About the role as extra description. Let's incorporate a sentence about
