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 where there is real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job posting. Key sections: - Company Description: maybe not needed as heading? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include "About the role" maybe from Job Description? Actually "About the role" could be the initial description. Could also have "Responsibilities" from "What You'll Do". "Qualifications" from "Qualifications". "Benefits" from "Why AECOM" and "About AECOM" benefits. "Pay" from compensation range. "Schedule" maybe not present (remote role, but schedule not specified). Should not create Schedule unless present. There's no explicit schedule like full-time, etc. So omit. Also "Skills" maybe not explicit; but we could include from qualifications? But better to only include sections with real content. Could include "Skills" if we extract from qualifications like experience with software etc. But maybe better to put those under Qualifications or Requirements. The instruction says we can use those headings; but we should only include if posting has real specific content for it. The posting does have qualifications (minimum and preferred). So we can have a Qualifications section. Responsibilities: we have "What You'll Do" with subcategories. Could map to Responsibilities. Also maybe "About the role" could be a short paragraph summarizing role. Could include as "About the role". Benefits: we have "Why AECOM" bullet list and "About AECOM" benefits. Pay: compensation range. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, visa sponsorship etc. Also must not include navigation, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like remote role based anywhere in US, lead substation engineer, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

Pay

The range for this position is $185,000 to $230,000 yearly.

We must not include Schedule. Also must not include repeated lines like "About AECOM" etc duplicated. We included benefits from both sections but we need to preserve all substantive info; we included the list of benefits from "About AECOM". Also we included the "Why AECOM" bullet points. Ensure not to duplicate. We combined them. Check for any other substantive info: "Offered rate of compensation will be based on individual education, qualifications, experience, and work location." That's substantive about compensation determination; we could include in Pay section. Also "At AECOM, we are committed to maintaining a secure and trustworthy recruitment process..." that's boilerplate (legal) maybe remove. "Visa Sponsorship is not available for this role, now or in the future" maybe not boilerplate but could be considered metadata; but it's about visa sponsorship - maybe we should keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Visa sponsorship is not exactly legal but could be considered a condition; but it's not a heading. It's a piece of info. Should we keep? It's substantive about visa sponsorship. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that. However, we need to decide where to place it. Could add a paragraph under Qualifications or a separate section like "Additional Information". But we only have predefined headings; we could add a

after Qualifications maybe. But we should not create new headings unless they match the list. Could add a

after Qualifications for "Additional Information". That's allowed as prose. The instruction: Use

for prose. So we can add a paragraph after Qualifications for visa sponsorship and relocation not available, day 1 onboarding requirement, etc. But we must not include boilerplate like "At AECOM, we are committed to maintaining a secure and trustworthy recruitment process and take any fraudulent hiring activity seriously." That seems like legal boilerplate; maybe remove. The line about Day 1 onboarding is also maybe procedural but could be considered substantive? It's a condition of employment. Might be considered boilerplate but it's specific to hiring process. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Day 1 onboarding is not exactly legal but could be considered procedural; but it's still part of recruitment process. Might be considered boilerplate? Safer to remove it. The visa sponsorship and relocation not available are substantive constraints; keep them. Also "Offered rate of compensation will be based on individual education, qualifications, experience, and work location." Keep in Pay. Also "Work Location Model: Hybrid" from the metadata at bottom; but we already said remote role based anywhere in US; but also says Hybrid. Might be contradictory; but we should keep as substantive: maybe mention hybrid remote flexibility. Already we have remote/hybrid work flexibility in benefits. So fine. We must not include "ReqID: J10160348 Business Line: Energy Business Group: DCS Strategic Business Unit: East Career Area: Engineering Work Location Model: Hybrid Compensation: USD 185000 - USD 230000 - yearly". That's metadata; we already captured compensation; we can drop the rest. Now produce final HTML. Check for any missing substantive info: The "Opportunity" paragraph before "What You'll Do" maybe could be part of About the role. We already captured some. Could add a paragraph about opportunity: "The Opportunity As a Lead Substation Engineer, you will provide technical leadership for the planning, design, and delivery of utility-scale substation projects. Working with multidisciplinary teams, clients, and project managers, you will support projects from concept development through construction while ensuring technical excellence, quality, and client satisfaction. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, mentoring others, and building strong client relationships while contributing to the continued growth of AECOM's Energy business." That's substantive; we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities. Since we already have About the role describing the role, we could add this as a separate paragraph under About the role. Let's incorporate. Also "What You'll Do" sections we already captured under Responsibilities. Also "Why AECOM" we captured as benefits. Also "About AECOM" we captured benefits and also some description about AECOM being global infrastructure leader etc. That's maybe boilerplate? It's descriptive of company; could be considered substantive but maybe not needed as it's generic. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; but also says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About AECOM" paragraph describing the firm might be considered boilerplate but it's still about the company. However, many job posts include that; but it's
