We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Job ID / requisition numbers". There's no explicit job ID.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: maybe a short description of the role. The posting includes "Job Description Copia is seeking a Manager, Interconnection to manage generation interconnection requests, coordinate application and study processes, and lead interconnection agreement negotiations, as well as support facility construction for renewable energy projects in the US. The ideal candidate will be responsible for managing, coordinating, and leading all aspects of the generation interconnection process and related engineering for solar, energy storage, and natural gas projects. This role requires extensive knowledge of FERC large generator interconnection processes and tariff requirements, experience supporting early-stage development of utility-scale interconnection projects and GIA negotiations/executions, and familiarity with interconnection and power flow studies. The Manager, Interconnection will report directly to the Director of Transmission & Interconnection, working closely with Copia’s asset management, energy markets, legal, and finance teams in an individual contributor capacity."
That's a good "About the role" paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of duties. The "Key Responsibilities" section includes many bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We need to convert to
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting.

That's a good "About the role" paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of duties. The "Key Responsibilities" section includes many bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We need to convert to - . We'll need to split each responsibility into list items. The text: "Support and coordinate the generation and load interconnection process for utility-scale solar, energy storage, natural gas, and data center projects, including pre-application feasibility analysis, interconnection application submission, interconnection study & agreement processes, communicating study results, and EPC milestone management.Provide responses and analysis to internal site selection processes to determine feasible transmission locations to apply for interconnection, timed and coordinated to support queue application open windowsRequest and coordinate application technical packages prepared by transmission consulting engineersSubmit interconnection applications to ISOs/Utilities Support timely execution of study agreement and payment of deposits and study feesTrack execution of queue milestones such as:Deficiency correctionsScoping meetings Study agreement execution and funding Study results meetings Generator and Load Interconnection Agreement negotiation and execution GIA and Load Milestone tracking and execution Coordinate with utilities, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders to obtain interconnection approvals.Participate in ISO/PTO Generation Interconnection and other stakeholder forums to stay current on industry changes and trends.Coordinate with Land Acquisition, Engineering, Permitting, EPC, and Operations teams to develop a strong pipeline of solar, energy storage, natural gas, and data center projectsProvide interconnection support for project acquisition and financing activitiesProvide coordination support for co-location of generation projects with data center campusesSupport development and maintenance of company tracking toolsEnsures all milestones are kept up to date in company tracking toolsSupport consultant and other service provider activities, including tracking work order status"
We need to split into separate items. Let's parse manually:
1. Support and coordinate the generation and load interconnection process for utility-scale solar, energy storage, natural gas, and data center projects, including pre-application feasibility analysis, interconnection application submission, interconnection study & agreement processes, communicating study results, and EPC milestone management.
2. Provide responses and analysis to internal site selection processes to determine feasible transmission locations to apply for interconnection, timed and coordinated to support queue application open windows
3. Request and coordinate application technical packages prepared by transmission consulting engineers
4. Submit interconnection applications to ISOs/Utilities
5. Support timely execution of study agreement and payment of deposits and study fees
6. Track execution of queue milestones such as:
- Deficiency corrections
- Scoping meetings
- Study agreement execution and funding
- Study results meetings
- Generator and Load Interconnection Agreement negotiation and execution
- GIA and Load Milestone tracking and execution
But we need to keep as list items; we could embed sublist? Probably just one item with colon and list inside? Simpler: make each bullet as separate
- . For the "Track execution of queue milestones such as:" we could make one
- that includes the list? Might be okay to break into separate items for each milestone. However the original text includes a colon then list separated by spaces. We'll split each as separate
- items.
Thus items:
- Track execution of queue milestones such as: Deficiency corrections
- Scoping meetings
- Study agreement execution and funding
- Study results meetings
- Generator and Load Interconnection Agreement negotiation and execution
- GIA and Load Milestone tracking and execution
But that seems odd. Better to keep as one item with sublist? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It didn't forbid nested lists. We could do nested
inside - . That would be acceptable.
We'll produce:
- Track execution of queue milestones such as:
- Deficiency corrections
- Scoping meetings
- Study agreement execution and funding
- Study results meetings
- Generator and Load Interconnection Agreement negotiation and execution
- GIA and Load Milestone tracking and execution
Continue:
7. Coordinate with utilities, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders to obtain interconnection approvals.
8. Participate in ISO/PTO Generation Interconnection and other stakeholder forums to stay current on industry changes and trends.
9. Coordinate with Land Acquisition, Engineering, Permitting, EPC, and Operations teams to develop a strong pipeline of solar, energy storage, natural gas, and data center projects
10. Provide interconnection support for project acquisition and financing activities
11. Provide coordination support for co-location of generation projects with data center campuses
12. Support development and maintenance of company tracking tools
13. Ensures all milestones are kept up to date in company tracking tools
14. Support consultant and other service provider activities, including tracking work order status
Note: "Ensures" maybe should be "Ensure". Keep as is.
Now Requirements: The posting includes "What We Look For" and "Minimum Qualifications". We need to decide sections: maybe "Requirements" for What We Look For (soft skills) and "Qualifications" for Minimum Qualifications (hard). Also "Skills" maybe separate? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content.
We have:
- What We Look For: Ability to communicate effectively in verbal and written correspondence. Highly driven with problem-solving abilities, integrity, and strong work ethic. Proactive mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Ability to work effectively within a rapidly changing organization. Demonstrated collaborative partnerships with peers, management, and vendors. Resourcefulness and polite persistence.
These are soft skills/requirements. Could go under "Requirements" or "Skills". We'll put under "Requirements".
- Minimum Qualifications: 6+ years’ professional experience, preferably in the renewable energy industry; Bachelor’s degree preferred; Proven experience with Microsoft Office, including advanced proficiency in PowerPoint & Excel; Experience with project management software; Ability to work in the Dana Point, CA, Salt Lake City, UT, Phoenix, AZ, or Lake Oswego office a minimum of 3 days per week.; Ability to travel up to 25%; Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship.; We are partnering with select search firms for this role and are not accepting inquiries or candidates from additional third-party agencies or recruiters.
The last sentence about search firms is more about process; maybe we can drop as boilerplate? It's not a qualification per se but it's a note. Might be considered metadata; we could drop as it's not substantive to candidate. The instruction: remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The search firm note is not exactly those but could be considered application instruction? It's about not accepting inquiries from third-party agencies. Might be considered application instruction; we can drop it.
Thus Minimum Qualifications items:
- 6+ years’ professional experience, preferably in the renewable energy industry
- Bachelor’s degree preferred
- Proven experience with Microsoft Office, including advanced proficiency in PowerPoint & Excel
- Experience with project management software
- Ability to work in the Dana Point, CA, Salt Lake City, UT, Phoenix, AZ, or Lake Oswego office a minimum of 3 days per week.
- Ability to travel up to 25%
- Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship.
Now Benefits: The posting includes "Our Benefits:" with list: Medical, Dental & Vision Coverage (with no premiums); Company contribution to 401(k) plans; Annual bonus eligibility; Flexible work hours; Unlimited paid time off for a healthy work-life balance; Paid holidays to celebrate and recharge; Wellness and cell phone credits to support personal well-being; Life and AD&D insurance for peace of mind; Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) for community and support; Opportunities for professional development to grow and thrive within the company.
We'll put under Benefits.
Pay: The posting includes "Compensation: At Copia, we carefully consider a wide range of factors when determining compensation, including your skills, qualifications, location, and experience. This role may also be eligible for benefits, performance bonuses, and other perks. We encourage all interested candidates to apply."
That's vague; no specific numbers. According to instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state compensation but not specific numbers; it's vague. The instruction says: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". The compensation text is vague but not exactly placeholder like "commensurate with experience". It says "we carefully consider a wide range of factors...". That's still vague but not a placeholder phrase. However it's not a specific number or range. The instruction says to include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. Does "Compensation: At Copia, we carefully consider..." count as real specific content? It's not specific numbers but it's a description. I'd lean to include a Pay section with that paragraph, as it's substantive (though not numeric). But the instruction says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is not exactly that. I'd include Pay.
Schedule: No mention of schedule besides flexible work hours (which is under benefits). No explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, shift. So we should not create Schedule section.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use for section headings.
We'll structure:
