We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to parse the job description and extract content for each relevant section. Let's identify sections: - About the role: The initial paragraph describing opportunity: "This Opportunity WSP USA is currently initiating a search for a Lead Professional, Civil Engineering to join and grow our Mid-Atlantic South District civil team. This position will be located in the Washington, DC or Herndon, Virginia office. Provides technical and project leadership to ensure civil engineering subject matter, technical deliverables, infrastructure projects and programs are delivered with a level of quality that meets or exceeds acceptable industry and company standards for design, safety, and functionality. Responsible for ensuring corporate compliance with all Local, State, and Federal engineering, construction, and safety regulations, and providing pragmatic direction to address current and future challenges in a rapidly changing and complex business climate." That's about the role. - Your Impact: This is a highly technical leadership opportunity... seems like responsibilities. Could be part of Responsibilities. - Responsibilities: Many bullet-like sentences after "Your Impact". We'll extract those as list items. - Requirements: "Who You Are Required Qualifications" includes Professional Engineer license, Bachelor's degree, 10+ years experience, advanced proficiency, strong working knowledge, advanced proficiency with technical computations, works independently, excellent leadership and interpersonal communication, tactical lateral thinking, ability to elicit cooperation, proven track record of upholding workplace safety, ability to adapt to change, occasional travel. - Preferred Qualifications: list of preferred. - Skills: maybe combine required and preferred? But we have separate sections: Skills maybe not explicit. Could embed skills within responsibilities or qualifications. The instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe split into Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications), Benefits, Pay. Schedule not mentioned. Skills maybe not explicit separate; but we could create a Skills section if there is explicit skill list. There's "Advanced proficiency with infrastructure design.", "Strong working knowledge of relevant civil construction laws, codes, regulations, compliance practices, and record-keeping requirements", "Advanced proficiency with making technical computations and calculations", "Excellent leadership and interpersonal communication skills", "Tactical lateral thinking and strong analytical skills", "Ability to elicit cooperation", etc. Those could go under Skills. However we already have Requirements covering qualifications. Might be okay to put skills under Requirements. But we have separate sections for Requirements and Qualifications; maybe we treat Requirements as "Required Qualifications" and Qualifications as "Preferred Qualifications". The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map: - About the role: intro paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: required qualifications (Professional Engineer license, Bachelor's, 10+ years, etc.) - Qualifications: preferred qualifications. - Skills: maybe we could extract skill-based items not covered elsewhere? But many are overlapping. Could still create Skills section with items like "Advanced proficiency with infrastructure design", "Strong working knowledge of relevant civil construction laws...", "Advanced proficiency with making technical computations", "Excellent leadership and interpersonal communication", "Tactical lateral thinking and strong analytical skills", "Ability to elicit cooperation", etc. However that duplicates some from Requirements. Might be okay but risk of duplication. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all info; duplication is okay as long as we don't lose info. But better to avoid duplication by distributing info across sections logically. Could put required qualifications under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications, and skill-based items under Skills (some may overlap). But we must ensure we don't lose any info. Let's extract all statements and assign. Let's list all substantive sentences from the posting (excluding boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc.): From "This Opportunity ..." paragraph: - WSP USA is currently initiating a search for a Lead Professional, Civil Engineering to join and grow our Mid-Atlantic South District civil team. - This position will be located in the Washington, DC or Herndon, Virginia office. - Provides technical and project leadership to ensure civil engineering subject matter, technical deliverables, infrastructure projects and programs are delivered with a level of quality that meets or exceeds acceptable industry and company standards for design, safety, and functionality. - Responsible for ensuring corporate compliance with all Local, State, and Federal engineering, construction, and safety regulations, and providing pragmatic direction to address current and future challenges in a rapidly changing and complex business climate.
