Lead Cost Estimator
for each heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose. Do not repeat job title. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, etc. Keep all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- About Delve Underground (company description) - maybe not needed as a section? The instruction: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. The "About Delve Underground" is company overview; could be placed under "About the role"? Actually "About The Role" heading appears later. The company description could be considered part of "About the role"? But we have a heading "About The Role". The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Skills? But we can combine.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract:
About the role: "Delve Underground has an opening for a Lead Cost Estimator based in any of Delve Underground’s North American office locations."
That's the only substantive about the role? Could also include "Lead Cost Estimator" but we shouldn't repeat job title as heading. So we can put that sentence in a
under About the role.
Responsibilities (What You'll Do): list:
- Lead cost estimating efforts on complex civil, structural and tunnel projects.
- Lead a group of project cost estimators.
- Perform and oversee cost estimating efforts, including:
- Conceptual estimates using a combination of unit price and production-based methods;
- Production based estimates and schedules for interim design deliverables;
- Take-off and quote solicitations;
- Maintenance of estimating database;
- Occasional field visits to Delve and other projects to observe latest construction means/methods, including crewing and equipment spreads and disseminate this information.
- Collaborate with and provide basic input to risk assessments that quantify project risks, including clear divisions between estimating uncertainty and embedded construction risk in estimates.
- Review in-progress design drawings for constructability issues.
- Review specifications for cost-related constructability issues and to evaluate blend between prescriptive language and performance standards.
- Provide QA review on work by others.
We need to format as list. Could have top-level
with each bullet as - . For sub-items, we could nest
.
Requirements/Qualifications: The posting has "Qualifications" section with bullet-like sentences separated by semicolons? Actually it's a paragraph with semicolons. Let's extract:
"Minimum 10 years’ direct field experience on one or more heavy civil tunnel projects; 20+ years’ experience in heavy civil tunnel projects preferred.
Past experience with a heavy civil contractor with an underground portfolio is highly desirable.
Exposure to cost estimating and pricing work.
Exposure to construction claims or change order pricing.
Accredited undergraduate degree in Engineering or Construction Management.
Professional registration or certification, or ability to obtain within the 1st year of employment.
Strong analytical and computer software skills.
Specification writing and review.
Structuring of Measurement and Payment.
Scheduling."
We can treat each as list item.
Also there is "Skills" maybe not separate; we could combine under Qualifications.
Benefits: listed: "Full Benefits Program consisting of Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Disability, FSA or HSA, EAP, 401(k), ESOP, and company stock ownership program, 9 Paid Holidays, generous paid-time-off program, Work from home flexibility, and Health & Wellness Reimbursement"
Pay: "Starting Pay: $160,025 - $290,156" and later "The Pay Range For This Role Is 160,025 - 290,156 USD per year (United States)". So we include Pay section with that range.
Schedule: not mentioned, so omit.
We also need to include maybe "About Delve Underground" as a section? Not in the list of headings but could be considered "About the role"? Actually the instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should not add other headings like "About Delve Underground". So we omit company description? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. The company description is substantive. Where to put it? Could be placed under "About the role" as a paragraph before the role description. That seems acceptable: About the role section can include both company overview and role description. The instruction: "About the role" heading is for role description, but we can include company overview there as it's still about the role context. It's not prohibited.
Thus About the role
will contain company description plus the opening sentence.
We must not include boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, "ARE YOU READY TO JOIN OUR TEAM?" etc. Also remove "No recruiters, please." and "Compensation reflects the cost of labor across our geographic markets. Pay is based on several factors including market location, experience, knowledge, and skills." That's somewhat about pay but we already have pay range; we could keep that as part of Pay section? It's substantive about pay determination. Might be worth including as a
under Pay. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that sentence. It's not boilerplate; it's about compensation determination. So include.
Also "Delve Underground is an EEO/Affirmative Action Employer..." is boilerplate EEO, remove.
Also "If you feel that you would be right for this position, please fill out our application so that we can review your information. We look forward to meeting you!" is application instruction, remove.
Also "The Pay Range For This Role Is 160,025 - 290,156 USD per year (United States)" is pay info, keep.

We could also have Qualifications separate but we already have Requirements. The instruction lists both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We could split: Requirements (experience) and Qualifications (education, certification, skills). But we can keep as one section; but to follow instruction, we could create both if content distinct. Let's split:
Requirements: experience items.
Qualifications: education, certification, skills, specification writing, structuring measurement and payment, scheduling.
But the posting lumps them together; we can still split logically.
Let's define:
