We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. First, there is a description: "Requirements Automation Engineers design SCADA systems..." That's likely the role description. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". The posting includes responsibilities list after "As an Automation Engineer ... you will:" then bullet list of duties. Then "Qualifications" heading appears: "Qualifications We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position." Then "Essential Skills And Experience" list, then "Valued But Not Required Skills And Experience". Then "Technology & Innovation" paragraph. Then "About Sargent & Lundy" with benefits etc. Then "Compensation Range $118,023 - $180,313". Then "Transparency Statement". Then "Equal Opportunity" (boilerplate to remove). Also there is mention of hybrid work arrangement: "This role offers a hybrid work arrangement. You'll spend three days a week in the office, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days. Dependent upon your location, this opportunity offers a generous relocation package." That's schedule and maybe benefits? Also relocation package. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include. - About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph: "Requirements Automation Engineers design SCADA systems to address operational requirements & emerging trends including Smart Grid, Substation & Distribution Automation applications, Battery Energy Storage, and Microgrid controllers. As an Automation Engineer in our Electric Grid Infrastructure Services business unit you will:" That's a description of role. Could be "About the role". We'll include that as

. - Responsibilities: The bullet list after "As an Automation Engineer ... you will:" includes many duties. We'll put those as

  • . - Requirements: Might be the qualifications essential skills? Actually "Qualifications" heading appears. The "Essential Skills And Experience" could be considered Requirements. The "Valued But Not Required Skills And Experience" could be Skills (preferred). But we have separate sections for Skills and Qualifications. Usually Qualifications = required qualifications; Skills = preferred skills. We'll map: Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree..., 8 years experience..., Experience with SEL..., Basic understanding..., Knowledge of..., Proficiency with MS Office..., Ability & willingness to travel up to 30%. Skills (valued but not required): Professional Engineering (P.E.) License, Master of Science degree, Experience with communication troubleshooting software/hardware, Protective relay settings experience, Radio communications experience, Network design credentials, Well versed in MS Project & Visio, PMP, Familiar with NERC CIP standards & Cyber-Security, CISSP certification. Also there is "Technology & Innovation" paragraph about AI etc. Could be part of Skills or maybe separate but we can include as part of Skills? Might be better to include as a separate "Skills" section? But we already have Skills for valued but not required. Could incorporate that paragraph there. Benefits: The "About Sargent & Lundy" section includes healthcare plans, paid time off, etc. Also mention of relocation package, hybrid work arrangement. So we can include Benefits section with list of benefits. Pay: Compensation Range $118,023 - $180,313. Schedule: Hybrid work arrangement: three days in office, two days remote. Also mention travel up to 30% (that's more about travel). So schedule: hybrid arrangement. We need to avoid boilerplate: remove Equal Opportunity, Transparency Statement, maybe also "Technology & Innovation" is not boilerplate but it's a paragraph about tech usage; we can keep as part of Skills or maybe as a separate section but we don't have a heading for that; we could include under Skills as a paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

    About the role

    Requirements Automation Engineers design SCADA systems to address operational requirements & emerging trends including Smart Grid, Substation & Distribution Automation applications, Battery Energy Storage, and Microgrid controllers. As an Automation Engineer in our Electric Grid Infrastructure Services business unit you will:

    • Provide guidance as a mentor in the development of less experienced engineers.
    • There is the potential for you to travel to client and vendor offices as needed.
    Then maybe a separate

    Responsibilities

    but we already listed responsibilities in the bullet list under About the role. However the instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. We could separate: About the role = brief paragraph; Responsibilities = bullet list. But we already included the introductory sentence in About the role paragraph that ends with "you will:" then list. Could split: About the role paragraph only the first sentence(s) before "As an Automation Engineer...". Then Responsibilities heading with the bullet list. Let's do that. About the role: "Requirements Automation Engineers design SCADA systems to address operational requirements & emerging trends including Smart Grid, Substation & Distribution Automation applications, Battery Energy Storage, and Microgrid controllers." Then Responsibilities heading with the bullet list (starting from "As an Automation Engineer..."). Now Qualifications heading: include the essential skills and experience list. Skills heading: valued but not required plus technology & innovation paragraph. Benefits heading: list benefits from About Sargent & Lundy plus relocation package. Pay heading: compensation range. Schedule heading: hybrid work arrangement and travel up to 30% maybe. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now let's extract benefits: From "About Sargent & Lundy" paragraph: "At Sargent & Lundy, we care about the health and well-being of our employees. Our commitment extends beyond the workplace, offering comprehensive healthcare plans and generous paid time off to support our team members in every aspect of their lives. We understand the importance of work-life balance, which is why we are proud to provide competitive, award-winning benefits. Our dedication to employee satisfaction has earned us the prestigious Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Award for compensation and benefits in 2022, 2023, and 2024." Then bullet list: "Health & Wellness Financial Benefits Work-Life Balance Health Plans: Medical, Dental, Vision Life & Accident Insurance Disability Coverage Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Back-Up Daycare FSA & HSA 401(k) Pre-Tax Commuter Account Merit Scholarship Program Employee Discount Program Corporate Charitable Giving Program Tuition Assistance First Professional Licensure Bonus Employee Referral Bonus Paid Annual Personal/Sick Time (PST) Paid Vacation Paid Holidays Paid Parental Leave Paid Bereavement Leave Flexible Work Arrangements" We need to turn that into a list. It's a bit messy but we can list each item separated by commas or line breaks. We'll create
    • for each benefit. We need to parse: "Health Plans: Medical, Dental, Vision" => maybe separate items: Health Plans: Medical, Dental, Vision. Could keep as one li. "Life & Accident Insurance" => li. "Disability Coverage" => li. "Employee Assistance Program (EAP)" => li. "Back-Up Daycare" => li. "FSA & HSA" => li. "401(k)" => li. "Pre-Tax Commuter Account" => li. "Merit Scholarship Program" => li. "Employee Discount Program" => li. "Corporate Charitable Giving Program" => li. "Tuition Assistance" => li. "First Professional Licensure Bonus" => li. "Employee Referral Bonus" => li. "Paid Annual Personal/Sick Time (PST)" => li. "Paid Vacation" => li. "Paid Holidays" => li. "Paid Parental Leave" => li. "Paid Bereavement Leave" => li. "Flexible Work Arrangements" => li. Also earlier: "comprehensive healthcare plans and generous paid time off" but we already have those. Also "relocation package" mentioned earlier: "Dependent upon your location, this opportunity offers a generous relocation package." So add that as a benefit. Now Pay: "$118,023 - $180,313". Also mention "Individuals may also be eligible to participate in our yearly discretionary bonus." That's part of compensation. We'll include in Pay section. Schedule: Hybrid work arrangement: three days in office, two days remote. Also travel up to 30% (maybe under Schedule or Responsibilities). We'll put under Schedule. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Equal Opportunity", "Transparency Statement". Also remove "Technology & Innovation" maybe incorporate into Skills. Now produce HTML. Let's craft. We'll start with
