Manager I Construction Projects
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to extract substantive content: The posting includes:

- Salary range: ME/NC/PA/SC Salary Range: $92,640 - $138,960. Actual compensation offered may vary based on qualifications, internal equity, market conditions. Final compensation decisions per company policies.
- Benefits: Not explicitly listed? The posting includes a paragraph about company values, culture, etc. No explicit benefits list. So we should not create a Benefits section unless there is specific content. There's mention of "We are committed to offering a welcoming work environment..." but not specific benefits like health insurance, 401k, etc. So we should not create Benefits section.
- Pay: There is salary range. So we can create a Pay section with that info. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". The posting gives a range, so we can include that.
- Schedule: Travel requirement: 80% travel Monday-Thursday, remote office day Friday. That's schedule info. So we can create a Schedule section.
- About the role: Could be the initial description about scope. Could be a section.
- Responsibilities: The essential job functions list.
- Requirements: Could be qualifications? Or we could separate Qualifications and Skills. The posting has Qualifications (education, experience, abilities). Could also have Skills (like analytical, problem-solving, communication). But we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Qualifications and Skills into one "Qualifications" section that includes education, experience, abilities, skills. Or we could have separate sections if there is enough content. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have: About the role (short paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (list), Pay (paragraph), Schedule (paragraph). That seems reasonable.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
for "Project Manager I". Also we should not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can include them in a short
maybe at top? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
with the requisition and address etc. Or we could drop them. Probably include a short paragraph with location and requisition.
We must remove boilerplate: The company description about Ahold Delhaize USA etc. That's substantive? It's generic but maybe we can keep as part of About the role? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company description is substantive? It's about the company, not the role. Might be considered boilerplate but it's part of the posting. However they said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company description is not those. So we can keep it.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's structure:

We must ensure we don't create sections with filler. All sections have content.
Now we need to extract the responsibilities list from the long essential job functions. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each duty as a list item. However the list is long; we need to include all items. We must not omit any. Let's parse the essential job functions paragraph:
