Mechanical Engineer
or drop it." Application deadline is minor metadata; we could fold into a short
maybe under a generic section? But they said include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We could have a
containing the deadline and location etc. But we also have Job Type & Location section: "This is a Permanent position based out of Des Moines, IA." That's specific. So we can have a section heading maybe "Job Type & Location"? The allowed headings list includes: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They said use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should stick to those headings only. Not "Job Type & Location" etc. So we need to map content to those headings.
We have:
- About the role: could be the Job Description paragraph(s). Use About the role
then
with description. - Responsibilities: list of duties. Use
Responsibilities
then- each.
- Requirements / Qualifications / Skills: we have Essential Skills, Additional Skills & Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements (or Qualifications) and Skills sections. The allowed headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to use. Probably we can have Requirements (for essential skills/qualifications) and Skills (for additional skills). Or we could have Qualifications for education/license, Skills for technical skills. Let's parse.
Essential Skills includes: Extensive mechanical design with at least 10 years of progressive engineering experience. Strong proficiency in HVAC system design... Demonstrated experience... Hands-on experience... Knowledge of sprinkler systems... Proficiency with Revit... Proficiency with AutoCAD... Ability to ensure code compliance... Capability to lead design peer reviews... Licensed Professional Engineer preferred, with an Engineer in Training license required. Accredited bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline such as Mechanical, Electrical, Construction, or a closely related field.
That's a mix of experience, qualifications, skills. Could go under Requirements (or Qualifications). Additional Skills & Qualifications includes: Experience supporting industrial or manufacturing facilities is considered a strong asset. Experience developing engineering estimates, scopes of work, and schematic budgets. Exposure to commissioning processes... Familiarity with building design practices... Interest in contributing to or helping develop new departments... Strong communication skills... Ability to mentor and support other engineers...
These are more skills/qualifications.
We also have Work Environment details: office-based, occasional site tours, team size, work hours, travel minimal, projects completed by in-house construction team, engineering department break-even, profit-sharing program, full in-house drafting team. This could go under Benefits? Or maybe under About the role? But we have Benefits heading allowed. Benefits could include profit-sharing program, full drafting team, break-even department (maybe not a benefit). Also Pay heading: we have pay range $90000 - $135000 per year. So we need Pay section.
Schedule heading: we have work hours typically 40-45 hours per week, long week considered 45 hours. That's schedule info. So we can put Schedule.
Thus sections:
- About the role (Job Description paragraph)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Requirements (maybe essential skills + qualifications like degree, license)
- Skills (additional skills & qualifications)
- Benefits (profit-sharing, full drafting team, break-even department, maybe also mention supportive environment)
- Pay (pay range)
- Schedule (work hours, long week, travel minimal? Travel maybe not schedule but could be included; but schedule heading is for work hours. We'll include work hours and maybe note travel minimal as part of schedule? Could be separate but we only have schedule heading allowed. We'll include work hours and note travel minimal as part of schedule? Might be okay.)
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have real content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: equal opportunity, accommodation, AI, etc. Also remove "About Actalent" etc. Also remove "Application Deadline". Also remove "Workplace Type" maybe duplicate of location? We'll incorporate location into About the role or Requirements? Actually location is in Job Type & Location: "This is a Permanent position based out of Des Moines, IA." That's minor metadata; we could fold into a short
maybe under About the role or as a separate paragraph not heading. Since we cannot create a heading for it, we can include it in About the role paragraph. Similarly, "Work Environment" details we can incorporate into Benefits or About the role? But we have Benefits heading for profit-sharing etc. Work environment details like office-based, team size, travel minimal, in-house construction team, break-even department could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section but not allowed headings. We could incorporate into About the role as additional description. But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to ensure we don't drop any important info. Let's list all substantive info from posting: Job Description paragraph: "The Mechanical Engineer leads the design of mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and piping systems for building projects within a collaborative design-build environment. This role focuses on delivering technically accurate, code-compliant designs, guiding internal commissioning efforts, and supporting construction through close coordination with in-house teams. The position offers the opportunity to influence project outcomes from concept through turnover, mentor other engineers, and contribute to the growth of new engineering capabilities and departments." Responsibilities list (many bullet points). We'll capture each. Essential Skills list (as above). Additional Skills & Qualifications list. Work Environment: "The role is primarily office-based, with occasional site tours to active projects. The engineering team consists of approximately 10 professionals, including 6 mechanical engineers and 4 electrical engineers, creating a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment. This position will be one of the most experienced roles in the department, offering opportunities for leadership and mentorship. Work hours typically range from 40 to 45 hours per week, with a long week considered 45 hours, supporting a balanced workload compared to many consulting environments. Travel requirements are minimal, with at most one trip per year to a project in a surrounding state for a few days. Projects are completed by an in-house construction team, enabling close communication between engineering and construction and reducing common coordination challenges. The engineering department is treated as a break-even group rather than a profit center, so engineers are not pressured to meet year-end revenue targets or push deadlines solely for financial goals. The organization offers a profit-sharing program and maintains a full in-house drafting team to complete project specifications, fostering a supportive and integrated project delivery environment." Job Type & Location: "This is a Permanent position based out of Des Moines, IA." Pay And Benefits: pay range $90000 - $135000/yr. plus description about compensation factors. Additional narrative after Pay And Benefits: "Well established design build contractor. Fairly new office in-between West Des Moines and Des Moines. When asking the VP and Engineering manager why they've stayed at Waldinger long term they spoke heavily on being able to do work like this for a design build contractor and not for a consulting company. A long week for them is 45 hours compared to the 60 hour weeks they had working for local consulting companies. Every project the engineering team is completed by Waldinger's construction team. Having that in house communication takes out a lot of the headaches they previously faced. A few engineers have been able to start new departments within Waldinger (Automation, technology, VDC) which led to promotions. They have a profit sharing program (5%). Have a full drafting team in house to complete all specifications on projects. The engineering department is viewed as a break even department, that means they're not expected to make a profit and won't have to push to hit year end revenue goals or worry about deadlines for the sake of yearly revenue." Workplace Type: "This is a fully onsite position in Des Moines,IA." Application Deadline: "This position is anticipated to close on Sep 7, 2026." About Actalent boilerplate (remove). We need to preserve all substantive info, but we can combine similar info and not duplicate. We must not include boilerplate like equal opportunity, accommodation, AI, etc. We must not include application instructions (none given besides deadline). The deadline is maybe considered application instruction? It's a date; but they said remove application instructions. The deadline is not an instruction but could be considered metadata. I'd keep it as a short paragraph maybe under About the role? But they said fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include a short
with location, job type, deadline maybe. But we cannot create a heading for it. We'll just include a
after About the role maybe. But we must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for Mechanical Engineer. We'll output HTML fragment with sections:
About the role
... (Job Description + location + job type + maybe deadline)
Responsibilities
- ...
Requirements
... (Essential Skills + degree/license)
Skills

We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. All have content. Now we need to extract exact sentences, preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. We must not omit any detail. Let's list each piece and ensure we include. From Job Description paragraph: we have three sentences. Include them all. Location and job type: "This is a Permanent position based out of Des Moines, IA." We'll include that in About the role paragraph maybe after description. Deadline: "This position is anticipated to close on Sep 7, 2026." Include as a short sentence. Now Responsibilities list: we need to capture each bullet exactly as given. Let's copy them: - Perform and lead mechanical and plumbing/piping system design, including equipment selection, sizing, specifications, and sequences of operation. - Complete and review mechanical and HVAC load calculations to ensure systems are properly sized and energy efficient. - Verify code compliance for all mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and related building systems to ensure technical accuracy and adherence to applicable standards. - Lead design peer reviews and collaborate closely with Operations on scope definition, cost control, and constructability considerations. - Develop engineering estimates, scopes of work, and schematic budgets to support project planning and proposal efforts. - Oversee the internal commissioning process and integrate commissioning requirements early in the design phase. - Create or oversee design sketches, models, engineering calculations, and comprehensive document packages for project delivery. - Maintain accurate and up
