Nuclear Engineering Program Owner (Associate - Principal)
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into 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. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the job posting and extract relevant sections.

We need to produce sections: maybe About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities (Job Description), Requirements/Qualifications (What We're Looking For), Benefits (What You'll Get), Pay (Compensation Data), Schedule (Will work a 4x10 schedule). Also maybe include location requirement (must be local and onsite for outages, permanent residence within 45-minute drive). Could be part of Requirements or a separate section like Location? But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine Requirements and Qualifications maybe. The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use any of those headings as appropriate. We should not create sections with filler. So we need to decide which sections have substantive content.
- About the role: could be Job Summary.
- Responsibilities: Job Description (What You'll Do) plus Essential Job Functions maybe.
- Requirements/Qualifications: What We're Looking For (including salary ranges? Actually salary is Pay). Also include preferred degrees, experience, etc.
- Skills: maybe from Essential Job Functions (Technical Expertise etc.) but those are more like responsibilities. Could treat as Skills.
- Benefits: What You'll Get.
- Pay: Compensation Data (range) and also the salary grades.
- Schedule: Will work a 4x10 schedule (four 10-hour days). Must be local and onsite for outages.
We need to avoid duplication. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment.

Maybe also include Essential Job Functions as part of Responsibilities or Skills. Could add a Skills
with bullet list of those categories.
But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see if we can combine Essential Job Functions into Skills.
Essential Job Functions list:
- Technical Expertise: Possesses intermediate level knowledge and performs varied assignments with proficiency in the application of theory and analytical techniques to solve diverse problems and complete extensive analysis. Demonstrates competency in analytical techniques necessary to handle assignments of moderate complexity. (e.g., by dividing the problem into component steps, and performing the analysis necessary to complete each step). Exhibits ability to understand interrelationship between systems and component equipment. Demonstrate ability to analyze and recommend enhancements to business processes.
- Leadership & Guidance: Coordinates work activities of others within the work group, department, or other corporate entity as necessary to complete routine activities. Performs routine engineering activity with minimum direction from higher-level employees. Follows policies, practices, standards and rules of the company and those regulations and procedures required by external agencies. Provides training and guidance to lower-level employees.
- Problem Solving & Initiative: Resolves and initiates solutions to routine problems which usually require additional definition/clarification before analysis can begin. Demonstrates ability to identify problems that are beyond the normal routine. Demonstrates ability and desire to seek out opportunities and embrace new ideas and approaches.
- Communication: Develops, reviews, or presents technical reports such as improvement requisitions, studies, and analyses in as clear, concise and effective fashion.

- Decision Making: Makes decisions subject to review within established policies and procedures. Makes decisions that affect the work of the team. Aware of risks. Demonstrates the ability to extrapolate beyond known facts to reach logical conclusions.
These are more like competencies/skills. Could be a Skills section.
We also have "Preferred engineering degrees: Mechanical, Chemical, and Nuclear." That's a qualification.
We also have "Must be local and onsite for outages." and "Must establish and maintain a permanent residence within a 45-minute safe drive time to the D.C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant." Those could be in Requirements or maybe a separate section like Location but not allowed; we can put under Requirements.
We also have salary grades and ranges: we need Pay section.
We also have Compensation Data: Compensation Grade: SP20-007 Compensation Range: $74,551.00 - $151,132.50.
We also have Physical Demand Level: S – Sedentary Work... Could be part of Benefits? Not really. Could be part of About the role? Might be considered as job details but not specifically requested headings. We could include under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Physical Demands" but not allowed. Since we should not create sections unless posting has real specific content for it, and we have allowed headings only. Physical demand is not one of the allowed headings, so we should not create a heading for it. We could incorporate that info into a paragraph under About the role or Benefits? Probably better to include under About the role as additional detail.
But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include physical demand info somewhere. Since we cannot create a heading not
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail.
