Materials Engineer II or III

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc as headings; can fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove disclaimer? The disclaimer is generic; maybe considered boilerplate? It says "Disclaimer: This information describes the general nature..." Might be considered boilerplate; we should remove it. Also remove company description? Might be considered not essential? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep substantive info about role, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule. The posting includes many details: responsibilities (executing material quality management programs, evaluating material and tooling performance, testing, trials, data collection, writing specifications, planning implementation, material quality assurance, on-site manufacturing inspections, oversight of incoming material sampling inspections, material analysis and reporting of in-service material failures, evaluating new technologies, assist in implementation, tracking and reporting on status, functional expertise: evaluating new materials, ensuring material quality, developing material specifications, oversight of required material analysis programs, administer defective item program, root cause analysis, business acumen: identify/evaluate new technologies, prepare cost-benefit analysis, engagement: coordinate field trials, prepare communication plan, respond to internal requests, interact with supplier technical staff, interact with third party labs, demonstrate safe work practices, driving results: make recommendations regarding alternate vendors, assist in establishing material recall plans, monitor utilization rates, conduct on-site manufacturing inspections). Also required education: BA/BS in recognized engineering discipline. Preferred: EIT or PE license. Required related work experience: Engineer II: 2+ years in gas utility, pipeline transmission, or other energy related field including gas industry equipment manufacturing. Engineer III: 5+ years. Preferred: experience in materials testing, project management experience. Applicant may possess combination of equivalent education and work experience. Required specific skills & knowledge: thorough understanding of ASTM, API, ANSI standards and other standards as referenced in 49CFR192.7, excellent project management skills, innovation, flexibility/adaptability, results-oriented, problem solving and analysis, planning and organizing, exceptional written, verbal and presentation skills, thorough knowledge of MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Working conditions/physical requirements: occasional traveler (5-20% travel), office environment, may work near moving mechanical parts, may be exposed to fumes, airborne particles, chemicals, varying outdoor weather conditions, excessive noise. Benefits: mention "Southern Company invests in the well-being of its employees and their families through a comprehensive total rewards strategy that includes competitive base salary, annual incentive awards for eligible employees and health, welfare and retirement benefits designed to support physical, financial, and emotional/social well-being. This position may also be eligible for additional compensation, such as an incentive program, with the amount of any bonus/awards subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable incentive plan(s). A summary of the benefits offered for this position can be found here https://seo.nlx.org/southernco/pdf/SOCO-Benefits.pdf . Additional and specific details about total compensation and benefits will also be provided during the hiring process." So we have benefits description. Pay: not explicitly given; only mention competitive base salary, annual incentive awards, but no specific numbers. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits is stated (they describe benefits). So we can include Benefits section. Pay: not specific numbers, just "competitive base salary" etc. That is somewhat vague but still states compensation. However instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state competitive base salary, annual incentive awards, incentive program. That is stating pay info albeit not specific numbers. Should we include Pay? Might be considered stating pay. But they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state base salary etc. So we could include Pay section with that info. However they also said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine Pay and Benefits? But they want separate headings if content exists. We'll include Benefits and Pay separate if we have content. Schedule: they mention "Job Schedule: Full time" in the metadata at bottom. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with "Full time". Also they mention occasional traveler 5-20% travel; that's more about working conditions, not schedule. So schedule: Full time. We need to avoid putting Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can include them in a short paragraph maybe under About the role? Or drop. Probably drop. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll structure:

About the role

... maybe a brief summary? But we have a lot of detail; we could put the role description in About the role? Actually About the role could be a short overview; but we have many responsibilities. Better to put responsibilities in Responsibilities section. About the role could be a brief paragraph summarizing the position: "The Materials Engineer executes material quality management programs, evaluates material and tooling performance through testing, trials, and data collection, writes specifications for new materials and tools, plans implementation for new equipment rollout, ensures material quality assurance, evaluates new technologies, and drives results through vendor recommendations and recall planning." That's derived from the text. Ensure we don't invent; we can paraphrase but must preserve substantive info. Paraphrasing is okay as long as we don't lose detail. Might be safer to put the detailed responsibilities under Responsibilities section, and About the role could be a short summary that is still substantive but not missing details. However we risk losing detail if we omit details from About the role. But we can keep details in Responsibilities. So About the role can be a concise summary: "The Materials Engineer is responsible for executing material quality management programs, evaluating material and tooling performance through testing, trials, and data collection, writing specifications for new materials and tools, planning implementation for new equipment rollout, ensuring material quality assurance, evaluating new technologies, and driving results through vendor recommendations and recall planning." That captures main points. Responsibilities: list bullet points from the detailed responsibilities. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We'll create Responsibilities
  with items. Requirements: maybe education and experience? But they have separate sections: Required: Education, Certifications/Licenses; Required: Related Work Experience; Preferred: etc. Could combine into Requirements section? But we also have Qualifications, Skills sections. The instruction: use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide what goes where. Typically: Requirements could include education and experience. Qualifications could include certifications/licenses? Or maybe Qualifications includes preferred qualifications? Skills is specific skills & knowledge. We need to avoid duplication. Let's map: - Education, Certifications/Licenses: BA/BS in recognized engineering discipline (required); Preferred: EIT or Professional Engineering License. This could go under Qualifications (or Requirements). Since they have both Required and Preferred, we could put under Qualifications. - Related Work Experience: Engineer II: 2+ years; Engineer III: 5+ years; Preferred: experience in materials testing, project management experience. This could go under Requirements (or Qualifications). Usually Requirements includes experience. We'll put under Requirements. - Specific Skills & Knowledge: thorough understanding of ASTM, API, ANSI standards, etc.; excellent project management skills; innovation; flexibility/adaptability; results-oriented; problem solving and analysis; planning and organizing; exceptional written, verbal and presentation skills; thorough knowledge of MS Office. This goes under Skills. - Benefits: as described. - Pay: competitive base salary, annual incentive awards, incentive program. - Schedule: Full time. We also have Working Conditions/Physical Requirements; maybe we could include under Responsibilities? Or maybe under a separate section? Not in list of headings; we could incorporate into Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like Working Conditions but not required. Since we only output headings from the list, we could incorporate working conditions into Responsibilities as a bullet? Or maybe we could add a section like "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings; better to fold into Responsibilities or maybe a separate

  under About the role? The instruction: "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should use those headings. It doesn't forbid other headings, but better to stick to those. We'll incorporate working conditions into Responsibilities or maybe a separate

  under Responsibilities. We must not repeat job title as heading. We'll not. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can drop them. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, disclaimer, company description? The company description about Southern Company Gas might be considered substantive? It's about the company, not the role. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Company description is not explicitly listed, but could be considered navigation? It's more about the company. Might be considered not essential to the job posting; but they said preserve ALL substantive information; company description could be considered substantive? Usually job postings include company overview; but they might consider it boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to keep it? The instruction says remove boilerplate; company description could be considered boilerplate but it's specific to the company. However they gave a specific description about Southern Company Gas and Southern Company. Might be considered part of the job posting but not essential to the role. I'd lean to keep it as a brief paragraph under About the role? But we already have About the role summary; we could incorporate company info there. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have About the role include a brief company overview. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; if we omit company description, we lose info. So we should include it somewhere, maybe in a

  under About the role or a separate section like "About the Company" but not in allowed headings. Could add a

  after About the role before Responsibilities. That's okay. Thus final HTML:
