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 content. We need to parse the job posting. Key info: - Target start date: Summer 2027. This is a detail; could be placed in a short

maybe under a heading? Not a heading. Could be part of "About the role" or just a paragraph. - The position offers ability to apply knowledge of thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, power plant engineering. Preparing calculations, specifications, technical reports; equipment sizing, optimization evaluation, selection; supporting project teams with other Mechanical Engineers; 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. Thus responsibilities: list of duties. Qualifications: "We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position." That's a note. Essential Skills And Experience: list of required qualifications: 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 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: list: ABET-accredited program; related engineering internship or co-op; FE exam and EIT designation; experience writing and providing support documentation for Mechanical Engineering calculations; coursework in power engineering, turbomachinery, thermal systems, energy conversion. Technology & Innovation paragraph about using tech, AI etc. About Sargent & Lundy: benefits description: healthcare plans, paid time off, etc. 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: description of Nuclear Power Group. We need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: could include target start date and description of role (applying knowledge, tasks). Could be a paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties (preparing calculations, specs, reports; equipment sizing; optimization; selection; supporting project teams; system engineering design/modification/analysis; travel for reviews and site visits). Could be bullet list. - Requirements / Qualifications: Could combine essential skills and experience as Requirements. Also include "We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S." maybe as a note. - Skills: maybe separate "Skills" for valued but not required? But we can combine essential and valued under Qualifications or Skills. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to include. We have content for: - About the role: yes (target start date, ability to apply knowledge, etc.) - Responsibilities: yes (list of duties) - Requirements: maybe the essential skills and experience (required). Could be called Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe the valued but not required? Or we could treat Qualifications as the education/degree requirements. But we already have education in essential skills. Could split: Requirements = required skills/experience; Qualifications = education/degree? However the instruction says we can use whichever sections have real content. We can include both Requirements and Qualifications if we have distinct content. Let's extract: Education requirement: 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. That's part of essential skills. Other required: Knowledge of practical application of mechanical engineering and technology... Knowledge of design techniques... Strong interest in numerical computations... Proficiency with MS Office... Excellent written and verbal communication. Thus all required. Valued but not required: ABET-accredited program; internship/co-op; FE/EIT; experience writing documentation; coursework in specific areas. Thus we could have: - Requirements: list of required skills/experience (including education, knowledge, proficiency, communication). - Qualifications: list of valued but not required (or maybe "Preferred Qualifications"). But the instruction says headings like Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Qualifications for preferred qualifications. Skills: maybe we could list specific skills like thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, etc. But we already have them in responsibilities/requirements. Might be redundant. Better to have: - About the role (h3) - Responsibilities (h3) - Requirements (h3) - Qualifications (h3) for preferred/valued but not required - Benefits (h3) for benefits list - Pay (h3) for compensation range We don't have schedule info (no mention of work hours, shift, etc.) So omit Schedule. We also have "About This Business Unit" which could be part of About the role or separate section like "About the team". But not in allowed headings; we could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate "About the business unit" but not allowed headings. So we can include that content in About the role paragraph. We also have "Technology & Innovation" paragraph; could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? It's about using tech; could be part of Responsibilities or a separate section like "Skills" but we don't have a heading for that. Could include in Responsibilities as a bullet: "Utilize data, automation, AI, and other digital tools to support research, analysis, engineering and design activities." We also have "Equal Opportunity" boilerplate to remove. Thus final HTML:

We must not include any markdown fences, just HTML. Check for any repeated content: we included target start date in About the role paragraph. Good. We removed boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. We kept all substantive info. Check if any content missing: "About Sargent & Lundy" paragraph about healthcare, work-life balance, award, etc. We turned that into Benefits list. The paragraph about "We care about health..." etc is captured in benefits list. The "Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Award" maybe not captured; but it's not essential? It's a statement about benefits award. Could be included in Benefits section as a note. But we can add a sentence in Benefits paragraph: "The company has earned the Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Award for compensation and benefits (2022‑2024)." However we must not invent; it's in the posting. So we should include it. Add to Benefits section maybe as a

before list or as a list item. Since we already have

    for benefits, we could add a
  • for award. But award is not a benefit per se but still substantive. Could add a

    after heading before list. Let's adjust Benefits section:

    Benefits

    Sargent & Lundy offers comprehensive healthcare plans, generous paid time off, and has earned the Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Award for compensation and benefits (2022‑
