We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Basic Qualifications), maybe Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. The posting includes: About The Role (paragraph). Key Responsibilities (list). Basic Qualifications (Education & Experience, Technical & Leadership Skills). Preferred Qualifications (list). Location (maybe not a heading). Additional Compensation (mention). Benefits (list). Also mention "Working with us means being rewarded..." but that's generic. We should not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also not include duplicated lines. Also not include Job ID. We need to decide headings: About the role (use

). Responsibilities (

). Requirements (

) maybe combine Basic and Preferred? Could separate Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications but both are qualifications. Could have Requirements heading with subpoints? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. Possibly Skills if present. There's technical & leadership skills listed under Basic Qualifications; could be part of Requirements. We'll include Requirements covering both basic and preferred qualifications. Benefits section from Benefits paragraph. Pay/Schedule: not specific numbers, only mention "Additional Compensation: KBR may offer bonuses, commissions, or other forms of compensation..." and "flexible work schedule" under Benefits. No explicit pay or schedule details, so we should NOT create Pay or Schedule sections because they are not stated specifically. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits is stated, so we include Benefits. Pay and Schedule not stated with specifics, so omit. We need to preserve all substantive information. So include location mention? Not under a heading; could be a short paragraph after Responsibilities maybe. But location is not under a heading; we could include it in a

under maybe "Location" but not a heading per instruction. Since they said we can fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we can include a short p. Also "Additional Compensation" mention: we could include under Benefits? It's separate but could be part of Benefits? It's about compensation; but we don't have a Pay section. Could we include it under Benefits as a bullet? Might be okay but better to include a short p about Additional Compensation. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Additional Compensation into Benefits section as a bullet? But Benefits section currently lists benefits like 401K, medical etc. Additional compensation is separate; but we could add a bullet "Additional compensation may include bonuses, commissions, sign-on bonus, relocation benefits, short/long term incentives, discretionary payments." That is substantive. So we can include that in Benefits

    . Now we need to remove boilerplate: equal opportunity employer, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "We are KBR" etc? That's generic but maybe part of About the role? Actually the initial paragraphs about KBR are generic company overview; they might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company overview might be considered not boilerplate but it's descriptive; but it's not specific to the role. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; does that include company overview? It's not directly about the role but it's part of the posting. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the company overview? But they said we should not repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. The company overview is not minor metadata; it's substantive about the company. However typical job posting reformatting often includes a brief "About the company" section. But they didn't list that as a possible heading; they gave examples: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They didn't include About the company. So maybe we should not create a heading for it; we could fold it into a short

    under About the role? Or we could include it as a paragraph before About the role heading? The instruction: Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to decide. Given the examples, they expect sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. So we can put the company overview as a paragraph before the About the role heading? But that would be outside any heading; still part of fragment. It's allowed. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we incorporate company overview into About the role section as a preamble paragraph. That seems reasonable: About the role heading then a paragraph that includes both the role description and company overview? But the About the role heading should contain the role description; we could include company overview as a separate paragraph before the heading, but that adds a section without heading. Might be okay. Better: Keep About the role heading, then a paragraph that includes the role description (the "About The Role" paragraph). Then after that, we could have a short paragraph about the company (the initial KBR description). But that would be a separate paragraph not under a heading; still okay. But to keep sections minimal, we could put the company overview as a paragraph under About the role heading (i.e., after the heading, include a paragraph that mentions KBR overview then the role specifics). However the role specifics are given under "About The Role" heading in the original. So we can keep that as the paragraph under About the role heading. Then we could add another paragraph after that for the company overview? Might be redundant. Given the instruction to preserve ALL substantive information, we need to include the company overview somewhere. I'll include it as a

    before the About the role heading. Now let's extract content. Company overview paragraphs: "We are KBR When you become part of our KBR team, your opportunities are endless. Through internal collaboration, and with our partners and customers, we’re defining tomorrow’s challenges, then providing the innovative solutions to overcome those challenges, always maintaining our commitment to Zero Harm and our Sustainability Platform. In September 2025, we announced that we are spinning our Mission Technology Solutions business into a separate public company. This role would ultimately be part of that new company. Our Mission Technology Solutions business partners with governments and defense, intelligence, space, aviation, and critical infrastructure customers to deliver high-end engineering, science, technology, and mission support solutions. From national security and readiness to advanced research, cyber, logistics, and life-cycle sustainment, our teams help customers solve complex challenges in some of the world’s most demanding environments. Whether supporting operations on the ground, at sea, in the air, or in space, our clients trust us to deliver mission-critical capabilities every day.

As the needs of the world change, we’re ready to respond and guide the way forward with strategic, sustainable, and technological advancements grounded in more than a century of practical application and execution." Then "We are Finance" paragraph: "We are Finance We are strategic partners to the business, providing financial leadership and insight that drives disciplined growth and long-term value creation. We operate across global markets, navigating complex regulatory environments and partnering cross-functionally to deliver practical, data-driven solutions. Our agility, commercial acumen, and commitment to operational excellence enable us to support the business at every stage of its evolution." That's also company overview but specific to finance function. Could be included as part of About the role? Might be okay. But to avoid too much text, we could combine them into a single paragraph about KBR and Finance. Now About the role paragraph: "The Internal Controls Manager will play a key role in establishing, maintaining, and enhancing the company’s internal control environment. As a member of the SEC Reporting, Consolidations & Internal Controls team, this position will support the design, implementation, documentation, and testing of internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) and ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. Partnering closely with Accounting, Finance, Internal Audit, IT, and business stakeholders, the Manager will help drive control readiness activities, support SOX compliance efforts, identify opportunities for process improvement, and contribute to the development of a scalable and sustainable control framework as the organization continues to evolve." Now Responsibilities list: each bullet. We need to preserve all bullet points exactly.

Location: "Location: The ideal candidate will be located in the Houston, TX or greater Washington D.C.-Baltimore area." Additional Compensation: "Additional Compensation: KBR may offer bonuses, commissions, or other forms of compensation to certain job titles or levels, per internal policy or contractual designation.

    Company overview paragraphs combined maybe two
