Hybrid$104k–$133k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). Also remove application instructions (like "Please submit your resume...").
We need to parse the posting and extract relevant content.
Let's identify sections:
- About the role: The initial paragraph(s) describing role: "Shape the future of laboratory biosafety and enterprise health & safety performance in complex, high-risk environments. At ERM, as a Managing Consultant, Health & Safety (Biosafety Focus) based in Ewing, New Jersey, you will step into a highly visible, strategic role at the intersection of science, operations, and risk management. This is an opportunity to influence how leading biotechnology, pharmaceutical, research, and high-tech organizations design and run their biosafety and health & safety programs—moving beyond compliance toward resilient, high-performing systems that enable innovation while protecting people and operations. Why This Role Matters? As scientific innovation accelerates, organizations face increasing complexity in managing biological risk. Strong, well-governed biosafety programs are critical—not just for compliance, but for enabling safe, scalable innovation. In this role, you will lead biosafety strategy and execution across BSL‑1 and BSL‑2 environments, with a strong preference for experience supporting or overseeing BSL‑3 laboratories. Your work will directly shape how organizations manage risk, engage leadership, and embed safety into everyday laboratory operations."
We can put that under About the role.
- Responsibilities: There's a "What Your Impact Is:" bullet list (actually a list of responsibilities). Also later "Key Responsibilities:" with bullet list. We need to combine? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to extract duties. There's a list under "What Your Impact Is:" which is a series of sentences each starting with a verb. Also there is "Key Responsibilities:" list. We should combine them into one responsibilities section, preserving all substantive info, not summarizing away detail. So we need to list each duty as
- . Must not invent or summarize away detail; we must keep the exact phrasing? Probably we can keep the sentences as they appear. Ensure we don't lose any.
Let's extract the "What Your Impact Is:" items:
1. Lead and mature biosafety programs for BSL‑1 and BSL‑2 laboratories, with strong preference for experience in BSL‑3 program oversight, commissioning, or operational readiness
2. Develop, deploy, and manage biosafety management systems, including policies, standards, procedures, risk assessments, agent‑specific risk reviews, exposure control plans, and biological spill response protocols
3. Support and participate in Institutional Biosafety Committees (IBCs) (e.g., member, administrator/secretary, or chair support), including protocol review, NIH Guidelines compliance, and governance cadence
4. Build and deliver role‑based training for laboratory staff, principal investigators, facilities and maintenance teams, waste handlers, and first responders; coach leaders to embed biosafety into daily operations
5. Conduct biosafety and laboratory safety audits, gap analyses, and maturity assessments; develop corrective actions and verify effectiveness
6. Oversee program interfaces such as equipment certification coordination, laboratory design and operational readiness reviews, waste management, occupational health linkages (vaccines and medical surveillance), and contractor controls
7. Design and implement broader Health & Safety and Technical Risk programs, including compliance auditing, ISO 45001–aligned management systems, risk management, contractor management, and Serious Injury & Fatality (SIF) prevention
8. Lead incident investigations, root cause analyses, corrective action development, and control verification while driving organizational learning
9. Support safety culture and leadership initiatives, including coaching, field engagement, and capability building
10. Manage complex consulting projects and programs, ensuring scope, schedule, budget, and quality expectations are met while exceeding client expectations
11. Serve as a visible subject matter leader in biosafety and general Health & Safety; contribute to ERM best practices and knowledge sharing
12. Partner with account teams and senior leaders to develop opportunities, support proposal development, and expand long‑term client relationships
13. Mentor and lead consultants, supporting recruiting, onboarding, performance coaching, and team development
Now "Key Responsibilities:" list:
- Provide strategic biosafety leadership across complex laboratory environments
- Design and operationalize integrated biosafety and Health & Safety systems aligned to business goals
- Partner with senior stakeholders to strengthen governance, compliance, and risk management
- Lead program implementation, audits, and continuous improvement initiatives
- Build organizational capability through training, coaching, and culture development
- Drive project delivery excellence while expanding client relationships and contributing to ERM’s growth
These are somewhat overlapping with previous list but we should include them as well to preserve all substantive info. However we must avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't explicitly forbid duplication, but we should not repeat identical content. Some items are similar but not identical. Safer to include both lists, but we could combine and deduplicate similar items. However deduplication might be considered summarizing away detail? If we remove a duplicate that is exactly same, we are not losing info because it's still present once. If we remove similar but not identical, we might lose nuance. Safer to keep both lists as separate
- maybe under same heading? But we can just have one responsibilities section with all items combined, ensuring we don't lose any nuance. If there are overlapping items, we can keep both but maybe they are similar enough that we could merge. However to be safe, we can include all items from both lists, even if some are similar. Let's just combine them, but we need to watch for exact duplicates: I don't see exact duplicates. The first list includes "Lead and mature biosafety programs for BSL‑1 and BSL‑2 laboratories..." while second list includes "Provide strategic biosafety leadership across complex laboratory environments" - not duplicate. So we can keep both.
Thus responsibilities list will be the union of both lists (13 + 6 = 19 items). We'll output as
- each.
- Requirements: The posting has "What You'll Bring:" which includes required education, experience, preferences. That's likely Requirements. Also there is "Preferred Professional credentials" etc. That could be Qualifications or Skills. We need to map to headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which content goes where.
Typically:
- About the role: description.
- Responsibilities: duties.
- Requirements: mandatory requirements (education, years experience, etc.)
- Qualifications: preferred qualifications, certifications, etc.
- Skills: specific skills (communication, influencing, etc.)
- Benefits: benefits package.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: travel % maybe.
Let's extract:

- Possibly also "Strong communication and influencing skills" is a skill.
But we already have communication skill in Requirements. Might be better to put under Skills.

Actual pay will depend on factors such as education, experience, skills, location, performance, and business needs. In some cases, pay may fall outside this range. This role may be eligible for bonus pay subject to the sole discretion of ERM and its policies and procedures (casual and fixed term/flex force employees are not bonus eligible)."
Schedule:
- Travel willingness up to 70% based on client needs (could be schedule). Also maybe no explicit schedule like full-time etc. We'll put travel under Schedule.
We must not include sections with placeholder/filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific content.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings
for each section, and
- for lists,
for prose. We need to decide which content is prose vs list. About the role: prose paragraph(s). We'll put
- for lists,
- each.
- Requirements: The posting has "What You'll Bring:" which includes required education, experience, preferences. That's likely Requirements. Also there is "Preferred Professional credentials" etc. That could be Qualifications or Skills. We need to map to headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
