Project ManagementFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes Job Overview (which is about the role). Responsibilities section present. Job Requirements includes Education/Certifications, Experience, Knowledge/Skills/Abilities. Could map to Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Also Work Environment (Remote Role, Travel) maybe Schedule? Not explicit schedule. Pay: there is a Compensation section but it's vague: "UNFI anticipates paying the above-referenced pay rate (or within the above-referenced pay range) for this position. Actual Pay, where applicable, will depend on a number of factors..." No specific numbers. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits: there is a Benefits section with details. So include Benefits. Pay: not specific numbers, so we should NOT include Pay section. Schedule: not explicit schedule; maybe remote role and travel % could be considered schedule? But rule: only include if posting actually states them. There's no explicit schedule like "Full-time", "Part-time", "Monday-Friday". So we should not include Schedule. Qualifications: maybe Education/Certifications and Experience could be Qualifications. Skills: Knowledge/Skills/Abilities. We'll include sections: About the role (from Job Overview + maybe the "What does it mean to be part of our Professional Services Team?" but that's more about company; still part of role overview). Responsibilities. Requirements (Education/Certifications). Qualifications (Experience). Skills (Knowledge/Skills/Abilities). Benefits. Also maybe Work Environment? Not in list of allowed headings; we could fold into About the role or maybe not include. The allowed headings are limited to those; we should not add others. So we can incorporate remote/travel info into About the role as prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, veteran, etc. Also remove "Learn more: Organic..." link? That's maybe boilerplate but could be considered part of About UNFI; but it's not required. We should remove navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About UNFI:" paragraph maybe okay as part of About the role? It's about company; but we can keep as it's substantive about the company. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could keep About the role includes overview and company description.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like managing 6-15 concurrent projects, etc. Keep all responsibilities bullet points.
We need to format responsibilities as
- . Similarly for requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits.
We need to use
for section headings. Let's extract content. Job Overview paragraph: "Leads and manages the end-to-end delivery of new store openings, remodels, and capital improvement projects across various regions. Oversee all phases of the project lifecycle, including site evaluation, project planning, capital approval, design development, construction documentation, bidding, budget management, cost control, equipment selections, construction execution, grand opening, and project closeout. Provides leadership and direction to UNFI team members, retailers/owners, external consultants, architects, engineers, contractors, developers, and other project stakeholders to ensure projects are completed on schedule, within budget, and in accordance with company standards for quality, safety, and operational excellence. Drives cross-functional collaboration, mitigates project risks, monitors performance, and ensures successful execution of strategic initiatives while delivering consistent customer and operational experience." Then "What does it mean to be part of our Professional Services Team? UNFI Professional Services is a part of UNFI, North America’s Premier Food Wholesaler. We offer products and services designed to help stores increase sales and profits, save time and money, and become more operationally efficient and competitive. Services are offered in the areas of Pricing, Shelf Management, Consumer Marketing + Digital, Retail Technology + Payments, Store Design + Equipment, Consumer Services, and Store Operations. These services are all designed to help grocers increase profits, simplify their operations, and become more effective in their markets. At UNFI we strive to help make our customers stronger and our food solutions more inspired - delivering better together." We can combine these into About the role. Responsibilities: list of bullet points (each sentence ends with period). We'll extract each as
- .
Job Requirements: Education/Certifications: "Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management, Business, or a related field preferred. Equivalent combinations of education, training, and relevant experience will be considered.Ongoing professional development in project delivery, leadership, construction, engineering, technology, or related disciplines is desirable."
Experience: list bullet points.
Knowledge/Skills/Abilities: list bullet points.
Benefits: "For Washington positions (or positions that may be performed remotely from Washington), https://www.unfi.com/jobs-more-info-wa.html for Washington-specific paid time off details. Candidates hired into this position will also be eligible to participate in the following benefits programs: Paid Time Off; Sick Time; paid holidays and parental leave; 401K Program; medical, dental, vision, life, and accidental death/dismemberment insurance; short-term and long-term disability insurance program, Flexible Spending Account and/or Health Savings Account, subject to meeting the eligibility requirements and the terms and conditions of these programs, and subject to any requirements under applicable collective bargaining agreements. UNFI’s compensation, benefits, and paid time off policies are subject to change in the Company’s sole discretion, consistent with applicable law."
We should keep the link? It's a URL; maybe keep as part of benefits prose. Not a list.
We should not include the later EEO etc.
Now produce HTML.

We must not include Pay or Schedule. Check for any duplicated lines: ensure we don't repeat. Now craft the About the role paragraph: combine both paragraphs. Let's write: Leads and manages the end-to-end delivery of new store openings, remodels, and capital improvement projects across various regions.
