We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- "A DAY IN THE LIFE" describes role responsibilities. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which headings to use based on content.
We have content about day-to-day tasks, responsibilities, etc. Could put under "Responsibilities". Also "Understand client design criteria..." etc also responsibilities.
We have "What Youll Need" which is requirements/qualifications: 10+ years experience, etc. That's Requirements.
We have "What Sets You Apart" which is skills/knowledge: knowledge of reciprocating engine, communication protocols, etc. That's Skills.
We have "How We Invest In You" which includes benefits and pay: Competitive pay, insurance, 401k, HSA/FSA, dental/vision, education assistance, work/life balance, employee/family culture, gym on site, and more! Also includes salary range: $121,680.00 - $176,436.00 Individual Compensation to be determined...
Thus we can have Benefits section (list of benefits) and Pay section (salary range). Schedule: travel percentage mentioned: "Position is estimated to require travel up to 25% of the time pre-construction and 70% during construction". That's schedule/travel info. So we can include Schedule section.
We also have "WHO ARE WE?" which is company description; could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is about the role, not company. But we could put company description under "About the role"? Might be better to have "About the role" summarizing role purpose. The "A DAY IN THE LIFE" and "STEP INTO THE ROLE" sections describe role. So we can put that under "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Since we need to avoid thin sections, we can combine role description and responsibilities into one section maybe "About the role". But we also have separate "Responsibilities" maybe better.
We need to decide headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have content for About the role? Could be a brief summary: "As a Lead Engineer Instrumentation & Controls within the Gas Power Generation Team, you will serve as the subject matter expert..." That's from first paragraph. That's about the role.
Responsibilities: the detailed tasks: developing/reviewing design, collaborating, designing controls, mentoring, etc. Could be many bullet points.
Requirements: "What Youll Need" (10+ years experience, etc.)
Qualifications: maybe education/PE license etc. Could be separate but we have overlapping. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we need to follow instruction: use headings only when posting has real specific content. We have both "What Youll Need" (requirements) and also "A Professional Engineering (PE) license is preferred but not required." That's qualification. Also Bachelor's degree required. So we can have Requirements (experience) and Qualifications (education/license). Or we could combine into one "Requirements" but better to split.
Skills: "What Sets You Apart" includes knowledge, interpersonal skills, communication.
Benefits: list from "How We Invest In You": Competitive pay (but pay separate), 100% employer paid HDHP insurance premiums, 401(k) with company match, HSA and FSA options, Dental and Vision insurance, Education Assistance (Tuition Reimbursement), Work/Life balance, Employee/Family focused culture, Gym on site, And more!
Pay: salary range.
Schedule: travel percentage.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove "WHO ARE WE?" maybe not needed as it's company description; but could be considered "About the role"? Actually it's about company, not role. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "WHO ARE WE?" is not boilerplate but it's company overview. Might be considered not required but could be included as part of "About the role"? However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including company overview may be thin but still substantive. Could include under "About the role" as a brief description of the company. But we already have role description. Might be okay to add a short paragraph about company under "About the role". However we must not repeat job title.

We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed "WHO ARE WE?" but we included a brief mention of Blattner in About the role. That's okay. Check for any duplicated lines: we didn't repeat. Check for any placeholders like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD
