We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. Key info: - Target start date early 2027 (maybe schedule? but schedule not given; start date is not schedule. Could be part of "Schedule"? Not exactly. Probably not include schedule unless explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, shift. Not present. So no Schedule section. - Ability to apply knowledge of thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, power plant engineering. - Preparing calculations, specifications, technical reports to support client recommendations and reviews; equipment sizing, optimization evaluation, selection; support project teams with other Mechanical Engineers; involved in system engineering, design, modification, analysis of power plant mechanical systems; potential travel to client/vendor offices for design reviews and plant site locations for construction coordination and field verification. - Qualifications: "We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position." That's a note. - Essential Skills And Experience: requires BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, General Engineering, or Systems Engineering with strong academic background and interest in thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, power engineering, turbomachinery, thermal systems, and energy conversion. Knowledge of practical application of mechanical engineering and technology including applying systems, principles, techniques, procedures, and equipment to a project design. Knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principles involved in the production of technical plans, fabrication drawings, and models. Strong interest in numerical computations and problem solving. Proficiency with MS Office applications. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. - Valued But Not Required Skills And Experience: BS or MS from ABET-approved program; related engineering internship or co-op; successful completion of FE exam, EIT; experience in writing and providing support documentation for Mechanical Engineering calculations; coursework in power engineering, turbomachinery, thermal systems, energy conversion. - Technology & Innovation paragraph: about using data, automation, AI, etc. Not required but valued. - About Sargent & Lundy: benefits: healthcare plans, generous PTO, work-life balance, award-winning benefits, Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Award for compensation and benefits 2022-2024. Then list of benefits: Health Plans: Medical, Dental, Vision; Life & Accident Insurance; Disability Coverage; Employee Assistance Program (EAP); Back-Up Daycare; FSA & HSA; 401(k) Pre-Tax Commuter Account; Merit Scholarship Program; Employee Discount Program; Corporate Charitable Giving Program; Tuition Assistance; First Professional Licensure Bonus; Employee Referral Bonus; Paid Annual Personal/Sick Time (PST); Paid Vacation; Paid Holidays; Paid Parental Leave; Paid Bereavement Leave; Flexible Work Arrangements. - Compensation Range $62,998 - $90,586. Transparency Statement. - About This Business Unit: Nuclear Power Group description. - Equal Opportunity boilerplate to remove. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Equal Opportunity" section. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to decide sections: - About the role: could include description of role (target start date, ability to apply knowledge, tasks). Could be "About the role" heading. - Responsibilities: list of duties (preparing calculations, specifications, technical reports; equipment sizing; optimization evaluation; selection; support project teams; system engineering; design, modification, analysis; travel for design reviews and plant site). Could be bullet list. - Requirements: maybe combine Qualifications and Essential Skills? The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications and Skills if content distinct. But we should avoid thin sections. Let's see. We have: - Qualifications: "We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position." That's a qualification note. - Essential Skills And Experience: list of required skills/education. - Valued But Not Required Skills And Experience: list of preferred. - Technology & Innovation: maybe part of Skills? Could be under Skills. - Benefits: list of benefits. - Pay: compensation range. - About This Business Unit: maybe "About the role" or separate? Could be "About the business unit". Not in allowed headings list but we could use "About the role" for role description, and maybe "About the business unit" not allowed. Could incorporate into "About the role" or maybe omit? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive. But we should prefer those headings. Could we add "About the business unit"? Might be considered extra heading not in list but maybe okay. Safer to stick to allowed headings. We can put business unit description under "About the role" or maybe under "Responsibilities"? Better to put under "About the role" as context. Thus sections: - About the role: include target start date early 2027, ability to apply knowledge, brief overview. - Responsibilities: bullet list of duties. - Requirements: maybe include education requirement (BS/MS in specific fields) and work authorization note? Actually work authorization note is a qualification (not sponsoring). Could be under Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe include essential skills and experience (required). But we already have Requirements. Could combine. However we need to avoid duplication. Let's think: The posting has "Essential Skills And Experience" (required) and "Valued But Not Required Skills And Experience" (preferred). So we could have: - Requirements: education and core skills (Essential Skills And Experience). - Skills: Valued But Not Required (preferred) plus Technology & Innovation. - Qualifications: maybe the work authorization note? Or we could treat "Qualifications" as the education requirement and work auth note. But we already used Requirements for education. Hmm. Better to follow typical job posting: "Qualifications" often includes education and experience. "Skills" could be specific abilities. But we have both. Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine education and essential skills into "Requirements". Then have "Skills" for valued but not required plus technology. Then have "Benefits", "Pay". Also maybe "About the role" for overview. Thus sections:

We should not include Schedule section as not provided. We should not include any boilerplate like Equal Opportunity, About This Business Unit? We omitted About This Business Unit. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The About This Business Unit is substantive; we omitted it. That would be losing info. We need to include it somewhere. Could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate heading like "About the business unit". But allowed headings list includes About the role only. However we could add a heading like "About the business unit" if we consider it substantive and not covered elsewhere. The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. So we can add other headings if needed, as long as they are

. So we can add a heading "About the business unit". That would preserve the info. Thus add:
