We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
First, we need to extract content for each heading.
- About the role: The posting starts with "Shape the future of laboratory biosafety...". That's description. Could be "About the role". We'll put that prose.
- Responsibilities: There's a "Key Responsibilities:" list with bullet points. Also earlier there is "What Your Impact Is:" which is also responsibilities. We'll combine? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to list responsibilities as bullet list. We'll extract bullet points from "Key Responsibilities:" and also maybe from "What Your Impact Is:" which is a paragraph with sentences separated by line breaks. We'll treat each sentence as bullet? Better to keep as bullet list of responsibilities. We'll combine both sections. - Requirements: There's "What You'll Bring:" which includes required education, experience, etc. That's requirements. Also "Preferred Professional credentials..." maybe qualifications. We'll separate. - Qualifications: Could be "Preferred Professional credentials such as RBP/CBSP (ABSA), CIH, CSP, or PE" and "Experience working in biotech..." etc. Also "Demonstrated success building multi‑year roadmaps..." etc. We'll treat as qualifications. - Skills: Could be "Strong communication and influencing skills..." etc. Also "Willingness to travel up to 70%". That's maybe schedule? Travel is not schedule. We'll treat as skills. - Benefits: There's "We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including paid time off (vacation, sick, and floating holidays), parental leave, medical, dental, vision, life, disability, AD&D insurance, 401(k), and other applicable benefits to eligible employees." - Pay: "For the Managing Consultant, Health & Safety (Biosafety Focus) position, the anticipated annual base pay is $103,900–$132,600 (USD). 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: Not explicitly mentioned. There's willingness to travel up to 70% based on client needs. That's not schedule. No mention of work hours, remote, etc. So we should NOT include Schedule section because no specific content. Also need to include minor metadata like location (Ewing, New Jersey) maybe in About the role paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. At end there is "Please submit your resume..." etc. That's application instructions, remove. Also EEO statement remove. Also "Who We Are:" maybe not needed? It's about company; could be considered About the role? Might be considered boilerplate? It's describing ERM; could be kept as part of About the role? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "Who We Are:" is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered company description; not required to keep. Might be okay to keep but it's not specifically about the role. Safer to omit? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "Who We Are:" is substantive about company but not about role. Might be considered not required. However, they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Including a separate "About ERM" section would be extra heading not in list; we only allowed those headings. So we cannot add a new heading. Could incorporate into About the role? Might be okay but could be considered filler. I'd keep About the role as the initial description only, not include Who We Are. Thus sections: - About the role: prose from first paragraph(s) up to "Why This Role Matters?" maybe include that as part? Actually "Why This Role Matters?" is a heading in original but we cannot repeat job title as heading; we can treat as part of About the role? It's a question heading; we could incorporate its content into About the role paragraph. We'll just include the descriptive text before "Why This Role Matters?" and maybe after? Let's capture the initial paragraph: "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." Then "Why This Role Matters?" paragraph: "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 combine into About the role. Now Responsibilities: We'll extract bullet points from "What Your Impact Is:" and "Key Responsibilities:". What Your Impact Is: list of sentences each starting with a verb. We'll turn each into
- .
List:
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- Conduct biosafety and laboratory safety audits, gap analyses, and maturity assessments; develop corrective actions and verify effectiveness
- 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
- 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
- Lead incident investigations, root cause analyses, corrective action development, and control verification while driving organizational learning
- Support safety culture and leadership initiatives, including coaching, field engagement, and capability building
- Manage complex consulting projects and programs, ensuring scope, schedule, budget, and quality expectations are met while exceeding client expectations
- Serve as a visible subject matter leader in biosafety and general Health & Safety; contribute to ERM best practices and knowledge sharing
- Partner with account teams and senior leaders to develop opportunities, support proposal development, and expand long‑term client relationships
- Mentor and lead consultants, supporting recruiting, onboarding, performance coaching, and team development
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
We can combine both lists, maybe deduplicate similar items. But we should preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. Combining may cause loss if we deduplicate. Safer to keep both lists as separate
- under Responsibilities? Could be two lists but still under same heading. We'll just combine all items into one list, but ensure we don't drop any. We'll include all items from both sections.
Now Requirements: From "What You'll Bring:" required items:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Biosafety, Microbiology, Biology, Public Health, Industrial Hygiene, Safety Engineering, or a related discipline or equivalent experience
- 4+ years of relevant EHS experience, including substantive biosafety leadership in BSL‑1 and BSL‑2 laboratory environments
- Strong preference for experience with BSL‑3 laboratory programs, including operations oversight, commissioning/operational readiness, or governance
- Proven experience developing, deploying, and managing biosafety and Health & Safety programs (not just participating), including standards, procedures, training, metrics, and assurance
- Experience supporting or serving on Institutional Biosafety Committees (IBCs) with familiarity in protocol review processes and committee governance
- 2+ years of consulting experience preferred, or an internal client‑facing role with equivalent scope, including proposal support and relationship management
- Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to translate complex technical risk into clear, actionable plans for stakeholders at all levels
- Willingness to travel up to 70% based on client needs
- This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship
We could treat travel as requirement? It's a requirement/willingness. We'll keep.
Now Qualifications: Preferred Professional credentials etc.
- Preferred Professional credentials such as RBP/CBSP (ABSA), CIH, CSP, or PE
- Experience working in biotech, pharmaceutical, high‑tech, chemical, academic research, or government environments
- Demonstrated success building multi‑year roadmaps, KPIs and metrics, governance dashboards, and management review mechanisms
- Experience interfacing with allied programs, including waste management, industrial hygiene monitoring, facilities/engineering, select agent awareness, and contractor controls in laboratory environments
Also maybe "Preferred Professional credentials such as RBP/CBSP (ABSA), CIH, CSP, or PE" is qualification.
Now Skills: Could be "Strong communication and influencing skills..." but that's already in Requirements. Could also include "Willingness to travel up to 70%" maybe skill? We'll keep skills separate: maybe "Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to translate complex technical risk into clear, actionable plans for stakeholders at all levels". Also maybe "Proven experience developing, deploying, and managing biosafety and Health & Safety programs" is skill. But we already have that in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could assign skills as those soft skills: communication, influencing, ability to translate technical risk. We'll keep that.
But we must not repeat same content across sections? The instruction didn't forbid duplication but we should preserve all info; duplication okay but maybe not needed. We'll keep skills as separate bullet list.
Now Benefits: as described.
Now Pay: as described.
Now Schedule: none, so omit.
Now produce HTML fragment with headings
- ...
for each section. We'll need to wrap each section:
About the role
...
etc. For lists:Responsibilities
