MEP FORENSICS ENGINEER (Project Associate)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to decide which sections to include: About Us (maybe "About the role"? Actually they said headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use those headings if content exists. The posting includes "About Us" describing company. That could be "About the role"? Not exactly. But we could use "About the role" heading for the Position Overview? Or we could use "About Us" but they didn't list that as allowed heading. They gave examples but not exclusive list? 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. So we need to map content to those headings.
We have:
- About Us: description of company. Could be placed under "About the role"? Might be okay. Or we could omit About Us if not matching allowed headings. But we need to preserve substantive information. The About Us is substantive. We could put it under a heading "About the role" (though it's about company). Or we could create a custom heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to use those headings only. So we need to fit content into those categories.
We have Position Overview (could be under About the role). Responsibilities (list). Required (could be Requirements or Qualifications). Preferred (could be Skills or Qualifications). Work Environment & Schedule (Schedule). Compensation & Benefits (Pay and Benefits). So we can create sections: About the role (includes About Us + Position Overview). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (list of required). Qualifications (maybe combine required and preferred? But we have both required and preferred; we could put required under Requirements, preferred under Skills or Qualifications). Benefits (list). Pay (salary range). Schedule (work environment & schedule). Let's do that.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Salary range is specific: $80,000 – $100,000. Good.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation notice, third party agencies, etc.
We must not repeat job title.
We must not include application instructions.
We need to output only HTML fragment.

About Us: "Shape the iconic skyline of New York! Join HLZAE, a wholly owned subsidiary of Milrose Consultants. We build more than buildings—we build confidence in compliance, restoration, and renewal. As a trusted leader in architecture, building envelope consulting, and façade restoration, we partner with clients to preserve and enhance New York City’s architectural legacy. Our team brings deep technical expertise and a commitment to excellence across every phase of design, inspection, and construction administration."
Position Overview: "The Project Associate (PA), MEP Forensics Engineer, supports forensic investigations and condition assessments involving building mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems. Working under the guidance of Directors and Project Managers, this role performs engineering evaluations of existing building systems to identify deficiencies, diagnose performance issues, assess code compliance, and develop practical repair, replacement, and upgrade solutions. Responsibilities include field investigations, root-cause analyses, technical reporting, and the assessment of system components such as HVAC equipment, boilers, chillers, plumbing, and piping systems. This position is ideal for an early-career MEP engineer seeking hands-on experience evaluating, diagnosing, and developing solutions for complex building systems."
