Lead Fire Protection/Plumbing Engineer
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Notice To Third Party Agencies", "Are you ready to challenge yourself..." etc. Also remove "DLB Associates is an EEO/Affirmative Action Employer..." etc. Also remove "Completion of Assigned Tasks and Deliverables on Time and on Budget Performs Other Related Duties as Assigned" maybe that's boilerplate? It's part of essential functions? Might be considered generic; but we can keep if it's substantive? It says "Performs Other Related Duties as Assigned". That's generic; maybe we can drop as boilerplate. Also "Technology, Digital Tools & AI-Enabled Efficiency" is a section with content; we can keep as maybe Skills or Technology.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could be Job Summary paragraph.
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions (with subcategories). Could be a list.
- Requirements: Position Requirements (Advanced Level For All The Following) list.
- Qualifications: Education / Experience.
- Skills: Technology, Digital Tools & AI-Enabled Efficiency (maybe also mention MS Office, hydraulic calculations, etc). But those are already in Requirements. Might combine.
- Benefits: Benefits paragraph.
- Pay: The Pay Range line.
- Schedule: Not present; we should not create.
We also have Physical Demands, Travel/Relocation. Those could be under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions". But not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are limited to those given; we should not create other headings. So we need to fit Physical Demands and Travel into existing sections maybe as part of Responsibilities or Requirements? Could be under Requirements as additional requirements. But they are not exactly requirements; they are demands. Could be placed under Responsibilities? Not ideal. However instructions: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we can use those headings but not limited? It says use those for section headings. Likely we should only use those headings. So we need to map all content under those headings. Physical Demands and Travel could go under Requirements (maybe as "Requirements" includes physical demands). Or under Responsibilities? Probably Requirements.
We also have "Position Title: Lead Fire Protection and Plumbing Engineer Position Location: Remote - work virtually from anywhere in the United States". This is metadata; we can fold into a short
maybe under About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we can include a paragraph with title and location.
Now we need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract:
Company intro: DLB Associates is a premier engineering... (first paragraph). That's substantive about company; could be part of About the role.
Position Title and Location.
Salary note: "DLB recognizes salary ranges from job boards do not necessarily reflect our pay ranges. In many instances we out-compete those ranges for well-qualified candidates." That's substantive about salary; we can include under Pay maybe.
Job Summary paragraph.
Essential Functions broken down:
Lead Fire Protection / Plumbing Engineering Design Activities (50%) with bullet-like sentences.
Lead Pre-Construction Activities (15%)
Lead Construction Activities (25%)
Reporting (10%)
Technology, Digital Tools & AI-Enabled Efficiency
Completion of Assigned Tasks and Deliverables on Time and on Budget Performs Other Related Duties as Assigned (maybe drop)
Position Requirements (Advanced Level For All The Following) list.
Physical Demands list.
Travel / Relocation Requirements.
Education / Experience.
Benefits list.
Pay Range line.
Also note about CO, CA, etc law: that's about pay range disclosure; we can include under Pay maybe.
We need to output only HTML fragment.

Position Title: Lead Fire Protection and Plumbing Engineer
Position Location: Remote - work virtually from anywhere in the United States
But we shouldn't repeat job title as heading; but we can include it in paragraph. Using strong is okay? Not prohibited. Could just plain text.
Maybe better: Position Title: Lead Fire Protection and Plumbing Engineer. Position Location: Remote - work virtually from anywhere in the United States.
Now Responsibilities: combine essential functions.
We'll create Responsibilities
- Lead Fire Protection / Plumbing Engineering Design Activities (50%): Independently perform intermediate to advanced engineering work; perform intermediate to advanced plumbing and fire protection design tasks including infrastructure layouts and detailed tenant fit-out designs for various occupancy groups; perform intermediate to advanced computations and analysis for plumbing systems to size pumps, piping and other system components; independently perform and analyze hydraulic calculations for fire protection; independently analyze and size fire pump systems and associated components when applicable; utilize AutoCAD and Revit software to prepare drawings and visual aids; prepare book or sheet specifications for plumbing and fire protection; develop and/or review sequence of operations; assist in proposal development including project scope, schedule and budget; generally seeks supervisory input before sending to client; timely and effective management of project design team including resource forecasting and coordination; identify potential project scope changes and aid in development of strategies to minimize impact and control deviations from estimated costs and project deadlines; serve as support contact for design clients and build effective, long-term client relationships; may direct interns/other engineering and technical staff.
- Lead Pre-Construction Activities (15%): Survey existing building conditions and prepares technical reports of findings; collect data and other information for construction documents; prepare project design, specification and construction documents.
- Lead Construction Activities (25%): May lead or work as part of the engineering team and interact closely with the project management team; review shop drawings and submittals; review and respond to RFIs; review and complete punch lists and project closeout documents.
- Reporting (10%): Prepare project progress reports for internal and external stakeholders; update and maintain shop drawing and RFI log; manage personal hours using company tools.

We could also include "Completion of Assigned Tasks and Deliverables on Time and on Budget Performs Other Related Duties as Assigned" but it's generic; maybe drop.
Now Requirements: combine Position Requirements list and Physical Demands and Travel/Relocation? Might be too much but okay.
Requirements
- Knowledge of designing mechanical, fire protection and plumbing systems

Now Qualifications: Education / Experience.
Qualifications

- PE in related discipline
- Minimum of eight years of mechanical or fire protection engineering experience
Skills: maybe we already covered many skills in Requirements; but we could have a Skills section for technology/tools like AutoCAD, Revit, MS Office, hydraulic calculations, AI. However to avoid duplication, we could keep Skills minimal or combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can omit Skills and put those under Requirements. But the instruction says use those headings for sections; we can choose to include Skills if we have content. We already have many skills in Requirements; maybe we can move some to Skills. However we must preserve all info; duplication is okay? It says do not repeat job title as heading; not about duplication of content. Duplication might be okay but better not to repeat same bullet. We'll keep Skills separate for technology/tools: AutoCAD, Revit, MS Office, hydraulic calculations, AI, emerging tech.
But we already listed MS Office, hydraulic calculations, AI in Requirements. If we move them to Skills, we should
for prose. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Notice To Third Party Agencies", "Are you ready to challenge yourself..." etc. Also remove "DLB Associates is an EEO/Affirmative Action Employer..." etc. Also remove "Completion of Assigned Tasks and Deliverables on Time and on Budget Performs Other Related Duties as Assigned" maybe that's boilerplate?
