EngineeringFull-time
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 must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting for content. Let's extract: - About the role: maybe from "The Opportunity" paragraph describing role. Also "Why Black & Veatch?" could be about company but not role. The instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide which sections have content. We have: - About the role: description of opportunity: "This opportunity with Black & Veatch offers the chance to collaborate with multidisciplinary project teams within the Water Solution business, supporting a diverse portfolio of municipal and industrial water, wastewater, stormwater, water treatment, and water conveyance projects. Mechanical and piping design professionals play a critical role in developing treatment facility layouts, process piping systems, pump stations, utility infrastructure, and other water-related facilities that help clients deliver safe, reliable, and sustainable water services to their communities. The Virtual Design & Data Solutions (VDDS) Lead Engineering Technician (Level 17) will be responsible for leading mechanical and piping design teams in the development of high-quality engineering deliverables for complex water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This position performs advanced technical tasks requiring expert-level knowledge of mechanical and piping design principles, industry standards, and best practices. The Lead Engineering Technician will provide technical leadership, coordinate design activities across disciplines, mentor and develop junior staff, and support the successful execution of project deliverables. Responsibilities include creating, modeling, and modifying mechanical and piping systems using industry-standard design platforms such as Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD, while ensuring compliance with project requirements, quality standards, and client expectations." That's good for About the role. - Responsibilities: there is a list under "Key Responsibilities" with many bullet points. We need to output
  • for each. - Requirements: maybe "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Those could go under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction includes both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide which to use. Probably combine: Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). But we should not create thin sections. We have both minimum and preferred qualifications details. We could have a section "Requirements" for minimum qualifications, and "Qualifications" for preferred qualifications. Or we could combine into one "Qualifications" section with both. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine into one "Qualifications" section covering both minimum and preferred. But we also have "Skills" maybe separate. We have skills: mention of using Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, CAD, BIM, 3D modeling, digital design tools, etc. Could be under Skills. We have Benefits: described in paragraph about benefits portfolio: health care, dental, vision, disability, wellness program, flexible work schedules, paid vacation, holiday, sick time, dependent sick time, company-matched 401k, adoption reimbursement, tuition reimbursement, vendor discounts, employment referral program, AD&D insurance, pre-taxed accounts, voluntary legal plan, B&V Credit Union, performance-based bonus program, ESOP ownership. That's substantive. Pay: there is "Salary Plan ENT: Engineering Technician Job Grade 017". That's a pay grade but not actual salary number. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Salary Plan ENT: Engineering Technician Job Grade 017. That is a pay grade, but not a specific salary. Is that considered stating pay? It's a salary plan and job grade. Might be considered pay info. However the instruction says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "Salary Plan ENT: Engineering Technician Job Grade 017" is specific but not a number. Might be considered pay info. I'd include a Pay section with that line. Schedule: there is mention of "Hybrid or flexible work options may be offered after the first 90 days of employment based upon manager discretion, job performance and work assignments." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Now we need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft sections:

    About the role

    ... (the paragraph)

    Responsibilities

    • ... each bullet from Key Responsibilities
    • ...

    Qualifications

    Minimum Qualifications: Typically a minimum of 15 years related work experience. All applicants must be able to complete pre-employment onboarding requirements (if selected) which may include any/all of the following: criminal/civil background check, drug screen, and motor vehicle records search, in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations.

    Preferred Qualifications: Associate Degree in Drafting or an Engineering Design Related Technology required. Bachelor Degree in an Engineering Design Related Technology preferred.

    Alternatively could split into Requirements and Qualifications but we have only one Qualifications section. We could also have Skills section: mention of Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, CAD, BIM, 3D modeling, digital design tools. But we already covered some in responsibilities. Might be redundant. Better to have Skills separate: list of technical skills. Let's extract skills: "creating, modeling, and modifying mechanical and piping systems using industry-standard design platforms such as Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD", "Utilizes digital design tools and software (e.g., CAD, BIM, 3D modeling)", "Establishes drawing control methods", "Programs control systems", "Leads or supports development of new or updated design applications and processes". So we can list. We'll create Skills section with
      . Benefits section: list benefits. Pay section:

      Salary Plan: ENT: Engineering Technician Job Grade 017

      Schedule section:

      Hybrid or flexible work options may be offered after the first 90 days of employment based upon manager discretion, job performance and work assignments.

      Now ensure we don't repeat content. Also avoid duplication. Let's write the HTML. We need to ensure we don't include any extraneous text like "Date: Aug 27, 2026 Location: Houston, TX, US Company: Black & Veatch Family of Companies". That's metadata; we can drop or put in a short p? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it. So we could include a short p with location and date maybe. But they said prefer few substantive sections; we could drop metadata entirely. It's minor. I'd drop it. Thus output only sections. Let's craft. Check for any boilerplate: "Why Black & Veatch?" is promotional but could be part of About the role? Might be considered company culture. Could include in About the role? But we already have a paragraph; we could add another paragraph about why Black & Veatch? However the instruction: Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could incorporate that into About the role as additional paragraph. But we already have a paragraph; we could add another

      after the first about why Black & Veatch? That would be more content. Let's include it. Thus About the role section could have two paragraphs: first about opportunity, second about why Black & Veatch (the culture). That's fine. Now Responsibilities: need to list each bullet from Key Responsibilities. Let's extract them exactly: - Functions in a lead technician, technical design specialist, and/or supervisory role - Applies advanced technical expertise to solve complex design challenges within a specific engineering discipline and contributes to the development of innovative engineering solutions - Utilizes digital design tools and software (e.g., CAD, BIM, 3D modeling) following standardized procedures to create, modifies, and maintains technical documentation, drawings, and project deliverables - Responsible for technical quality, schedule adherence, and budget compliance, while effectively coordinating efforts across departments, teams, and stakeholders - May supervise engineering technicians and support staff by coordinating, overseeing, and guiding conceptual and detailed design activities to ensure quality, efficiency, and alignment with project objectives - Establishes, communicates, and enforces design and graphic standards - Reviews project requirements to determine correct formats and deliverable content - Promotes quality across projects, groups, and sections - Reviews design inputs to ensure consistency and compliance - Ensures that design deliverables are prepared, coordinated among disciplines and issued in accordance with BV Quality Assurance Procedures and project specific procedures - Improves integration, coordination, and communication across disciplines - Contributes to continuous improvement of design guides, standards, and processes - Leads or participates in process improvement and change management initiatives - Applies sound engineering fundamentals and established design practices in developing deliverables - Exercises judgment, makes work-related decisions, and guides other professionals - Coordinates deliverable presentations, delegates production design, or other electronic applications - Monitors production to assure consistency, budget and schedule of deliverables - Establishes drawing control methods and maintains historical records - Programs control systems or participates in other plant start-up activities associated with a specialized expertise area - Leads or supports development of new or updated design applications and processes - Coordinates with other design group personnel to review and exchange project information necessary for design development - May supports field activities - May manage multiple discipline areas or groups - Communicates project design requirements, progress, and schedules - Responsible for determining identification of key client interests and drivers on projects. Communicate client interests and drivers to project team members and develop approaches to accommodate these concerns - Leads development and communication of design standards and process improvement initiatives - Identifies training and development needs and supports personnel development for personnel they supervise - Champions development and improvement of project tools and software applications We need to ensure grammar: some bullets have minor errors like "creates, modifies, and maintains" but we keep as is. Now Qualifications: we have minimum and preferred. We'll put as two paragraphs. Skills: list of specific tools: Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, CAD, BIM, 3D modeling, digital design tools, control systems programming, design standards development, etc. But we can keep simple: list: Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, CAD, BIM, 3D modeling, digital design tools, control systems programming, design standards development. Better to extract from responsibilities: "Utilizes digital design tools and software (e.g., CAD, BIM, 3D modeling)", "creating, modeling, and modifying mechanical and piping systems using industry-standard design platforms such as Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD", "Programs control systems", "Leads or supports development of new or updated design applications and processes". So skills list: Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, CAD, BIM, 3D modeling, digital design tools, control systems programming, design application development. We'll output as

        . Benefits: list items: medical, dental, vision insurances, disability, wellness program, flexible work schedules, paid vacation and holiday time, sick time, dependent sick time, company-matched 401k plan, adoption reimbursement, tuition reimbursement, vendor discounts, employment referral program, AD&D insurance, pre-taxed accounts, voluntary legal plan, B&V Credit Union, performance-based bonus program, ESOP ownership (100 percent ESOP-owned company). We'll list. Pay:

        Salary Plan: ENT: Engineering Technician Job Grade 017

        Schedule:

        Hybrid or flexible work options may be offered after the first 90 days of employment based upon manager discretion, job performance and work assignments.

        Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc.
