Mechanical Engineer/Engineering Technologist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually job summary is "Job Summary". Could be "About the role". Use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Key parts: - Job Posting End Date 10-03-2026 (duplicate). Also note: "Please note the job posting will close on the day before the posting end date." This is metadata; we can fold into short

or drop. Probably drop as minor metadata. - Job Summary: "Responsible to the assigned supervisor for performing entry level engineering work activities and projects requiring the application of engineering knowledge in a safe, effective, efficient and economic accomplishment of assigned objectives." - Job Description: repeated posting end date line again; then "This position does not offer visa sponsorship and is not eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT)." That's a note; maybe we keep as a short paragraph? It's not boilerplate? It's specific info about visa sponsorship. Might be considered relevant. We'll keep. - Then "What You'll Do:" followed by bullet-like paragraphs (but not actual list). It's a series of sentences grouped under categories: Technical Expertise, Leadership & Guidance, Planning & Organization Ability, Problem Solving & Initiative, Communication, Interpersonal Skills, Decision Making, Business Awareness & Characteristics. We need to convert to

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to extract duties as list items. The categories could be headings? But we only have

  for section headings; we could make a section "Responsibilities" with

  • items each being a duty. The categories could be part of the li text. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can include the category headings inside li maybe as bold? But we cannot add extra tags not allowed? Only allowed tags:

    ,

    ,
    • ,

      . We can include text inside li; we could include the category as part of the sentence. Thus we will create a

      Responsibilities

      then
      with each duty as
      • . We'll need to split the long paragraph into separate items per bullet (the categories). Let's extract each bullet: Technical Expertise: - Possesses entry-level knowledge and experience in the application of theory to solve well-defined problems or provide analysis, with guidance from higher-level engineers. - Assists higher-level engineers in handling well-defined portions of more complex problems and analyses. - Exhibits fundamental understanding of standards, codes and regulations relevant to the area of assignment. - Gains familiarity with standards, codes and regulations relevant to the area of assignment. (duplicate? Actually appears twice; we should keep both? It says "Exhibits fundamental understanding..." then "Gains familiarity with standards, codes and regulations relevant to the area of assignment." then later "Gains familiarity with pertinent equipment, materials, systems and business processes." So we have three items: exhibits fundamental understanding; gains familiarity with standards, codes, regulations; gains familiarity with pertinent equipment, materials, systems and business processes. Leadership & Guidance: - Coordinates work activities of others as required to resolve routine engineering tasks. - Demonstrates working knowledge of appropriate policies and procedures; however, activities are generally monitored by higher-level employees to ensure work is performed in accordance with established guidelines. - Performs work activities as assigned and coached by higher-level employees. - Demonstrates ability to work with others in both supplying information and seeking assistance as necessary. - Demonstrates willingness and capabilities to assume leadership roles. Planning & Organization Ability: - Provides input to routine project planning documents related to scheduling and understands the use of scheduling techniques (CPM, PERT, flow charts, etc.) for budget and planning activities. - Monitors project status and recommend action accordingly. - Prepares cost estimates using established standards. - Develops understanding of the workflow for routine engineering projects. - Accomplishes work according to plans and schedules established by higher-level employees. Problem Solving & Initiative: - Actively seeks out information and understanding of engineering problems and solution techniques applicable to area of responsibility. - Applies basic techniques to perform analysis associated with the resolution of routine technical problems. - Uses initiative in looking for opportunities and presenting new ideas and new approaches Communication: - Assists and participates in the preparation of reports and technical papers. - Assimilates information and instructions readily. - Communicates effectively, both verbally and in writing and presents ideas clearly. - Listens to and understands instructions, and requests clarification as required Interpersonal Skills: - Begins networking with peers to share information and encourage cooperation. - Understands the agendas and perspectives of others. - Develops effective give-and-take relationship. - Demonstrates the ability to be a team player. - Relates to people in an open, friendly, and sincere manner. Decision Making: - Knows which decisions they are authorized to make. - Develops decision-making skills under guidance of higher-level employees and makes routine decisions subject to review and contributes to team decision-making. Business Awareness & Characteristics: - Demonstrates an attitude and desire to listen to and satisfy both internal and external customers who use and depend upon their organizational unit's work. - Applies economic analysis techniques in problem solving. - Pursues effective ways to protect and enhance the environment while providing reliable electricity at a competitive cost. - Active participation in professional and business organizations is encouraged. - Develops an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the department. Now Requirements: "MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: This is an entry level position for new graduates with a Bachelor's degree in engineering in a program accredited by ABET*; Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering examination in preparation for future licensing as a Professional Engineer (PE) is encouraged and preferred. Individuals with a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Technology can satisfy this degree requirement, if they obtain a certified Professional Engineering (PE) license. VP or above may waive the requirement for a degree from a university with an Non-ABET accredited program" We can put under

        Requirements

        with
        • items. Qualifications? Could be same as Requirements? The posting doesn't have separate Qualifications section; we could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we need to follow instruction: use headings only when posting has real specific content. There's no explicit "Qualifications" heading; but we could treat Requirements as qualifications. However we have separate headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only those with content. We have About the role (Job Summary). Responsibilities (we have). Requirements (we have). Qualifications? Not separate; maybe we can skip. Skills? Not explicit; but we could extract skills from responsibilities? Might be considered skills but we already have responsibilities. Better to skip Skills if no explicit content. Benefits: posting mentions "In addition to a competitive compensation, AEP offers a unique comprehensive benefits package that aims to support and enhance the overall well-being of our employees." That's a benefit statement but not detailed. It's vague; we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them (specific benefits). It says "unique comprehensive benefits package" but no specifics. According to rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state that there is a benefits package, but not details. Might be considered stating them? It's vague but still states existence. However rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits package exists, but not details. I'd argue we can include a Benefits section with that statement. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is not filler; it's a statement about benefits. So we can include Benefits

          Benefits

          with

          describing that. Pay: posting includes "Compensation Data Compensation Grade: SP20-006 Compensation Range: $74,551.00 - $128,688.00". That's specific pay range. So we should include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned. No schedule info. So skip Schedule. Also location: "Where You'll Work: Shreveport, LA or Hallsville, TX". That's location info; could be part of About the role or a separate section? Not in headings list; we could incorporate into About the role paragraph. Also note about visa sponsorship: "This position does not offer visa sponsorship and is not eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT)." That's a note; could be part of About the role or Requirements? Probably part of About the role or a separate note. We'll include in About the role paragraph. Now we need to remove duplicated lines: Job Posting End Date lines, etc. Now construct HTML. We'll have:
