We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job description. We have sections: "This Opportunity" (maybe About the role). Then "Your Impact" with sub-sections: General Operations Duties, Operational Excellence Profit and Loss (P&L) Duties, Project Operations Duties. Those are responsibilities. Then "Who You Are" with Required Qualifications. Then "WSP Benefits". Then "Compensation Expected Salary". Then "About WSP" (maybe not needed but could be About the role? Actually About WSP is company description; could be part of About the role? But we can include as a paragraph maybe under About the role? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly. We have: - About the role: could be the introductory paragraph "This Opportunity The Property & Buildings Northeast Region Operations Leader is part of our Business Line’s Operational Leadership Team with primary responsibility for overseeing the successful delivery of all projects and supporting the Business Line Executive with all aspects of the P&L, including revenue generation, project margin, EBITDA, DSO, project delivery, staff utilization, quality, and safety. This position can be based out of any of our WSP USA Property & Building offices in the US Northeast." That's about the role. - Responsibilities: combine "Your Impact" sections: General Operations Duties, Operational Excellence Profit and Loss (P&L) Duties, Project Operations Duties. Those are duties. - Requirements: maybe "Who You Are Required Qualifications" includes required qualifications. Could be Requirements heading. - Qualifications: maybe separate? The instruction includes both Requirements and Qualifications headings. We need to decide what goes where. Usually Requirements are mandatory, Qualifications are preferred. In the text: "Required Qualifications" list includes: 10+ years experience, BA/BS degree, MBA preferred, experience as major project manager, strong understanding..., proactive problem-solving skills, leadership skills. So we could put Requirements heading for the mandatory items (10+ years experience, BA/BS degree, experience as major project manager, strong understanding..., proactive problem-solving skills, leadership skills). Qualifications heading for MBA preferred (maybe also other preferred). But we could also just put all under Requirements and leave Qualifications empty (but we must not emit empty sections). So we need to split. Let's extract: Mandatory (Required): - 10+ years of experience in the MEP consulting industry. - BA/BS Degree in Engineering, Planning, Architecture, Business, or equivalent discipline. - Experience as a major project manager, or related role to understand project delivery issues and requirements - Strong understanding of project financials, team dynamics, client relationships, staffing and resource requirements, overhead elements, and performance expectations - Proactive problem-solving skills and helpful, open and candid communication skills - Leadership skills that portray commitment, reliability, and accountability to desired outcomes Preferred (Qualifications): - MBA preferred. Thus we can have Requirements (

Requirements

) with ul list of those mandatory items. Qualifications (

Qualifications

) with ul list containing MBA preferred. Skills: maybe we could extract skills from responsibilities? But we have no explicit skills section. Could we create Skills heading? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. If we don't have explicit skills, we should not create a Skills section. So omit Skills. Benefits: we have WSP Benefits paragraph describing benefits. So Benefits section. Pay: we have Compensation Expected Salary range: 152,500- $197,000. Also note about range etc. We should include Pay section with that info. Should we include the explanatory text? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the compensation range and the note about good faith belief etc. That's substantive. So include in Pay section as

. Schedule: no mention of schedule (e.g., full-time, hours). So omit Schedule. About the role: we have introductory paragraph. Also there is "About WSP" later describing company. Could be considered About the role? But we already have About the role heading; we could include both paragraphs under that heading. However "About WSP" is more about company, not role. But we could still include as part of About the role? Might be okay. But we could also create a separate section? Not in allowed headings. So we can put it under About the role as additional paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At the end there is EEO statement, notice to third party agencies, etc. Remove those. Also remove duplicated lines: there is repeated benefits description later in About WSP. We need to preserve all substantive information but not duplicate. So we should include benefits only once. We need to output only HTML fragment. Structure:

About the role

...intro paragraph... plus maybe About WSP paragraph?

Responsibilities

  • ... each duty item...
We need to break responsibilities into list items. The responsibilities are many bullet-like sentences. We'll extract each distinct duty. From General Operations Duties: - Partner with the Business Operation Director on all operational aspects of the business. - Communicate and coordinate with Local Leaders and other managers on operational aspects of the business. - Assist in monitoring P&L, project performance, and staffing. - Collaborate with Strategic Growth Team (SGT), HR Partners, Finance Managers and Project Accounting. - Oversee Local Operations Leaders and Business Line Project Directors (PD) duties. - Partner with Project Delivery for project operations consistency and reporting. - Support and promote a consistent approach to project delivery, operational reporting, quality, and other key initiatives. - Deliver training and mentoring support for project managers and staff. - Act as a key leader in the Business Line.

(This could be part of responsibilities or maybe separate but we can include as a responsibility item.) We'll create list items for each. Now Requirements list: - 10+ years of experience in the MEP consulting industry. - BA/BS Degree in Engineering, Planning, Architecture, Business, or equivalent discipline. - Experience as a major project manager, or related role to understand project delivery issues and requirements - Strong understanding of project financials, team dynamics, client relationships, staffing and resource requirements, overhead elements, and performance expectations - Proactive problem-solving skills and helpful, open and candid communication skills - Leadership skills that portray commitment, reliability, and accountability to desired outcomes Qualifications list: - MBA preferred. Benefits: The paragraph: "WSP provides a comprehensive suite of benefits focused on providing health and financial stability throughout the employee’s career. These benefits include coverage related to medical, dental, vision, disability, and life; retirement savings; paid sick leave; paid vacation (or other personal time); paid parental leave; and paid time off for purposes of bereavement, voting, and/or attendance at naturalization proceedings." We should not duplicate the later similar paragraph. Pay: "Compensation Expected Salary (all locations): 152,500- $197,000 WSP USA is providing the compensation range that the company in good faith believes it might pay and offer for this position, based on the successful applicant’s education, experience, knowledge, skills, abilities in addition to internal equity and specific geographic location. WSP USA reserves the right to ultimately pay more or less than the posted range and offer additional benefits and other compensation, depending on circumstances not related to an applicant’s sex or other status protected by local, state, and/or federal law." We'll put that in a

under Pay heading. Now ensure we don't include any fluff like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML. We must not include or . Just the fragment. Let's craft. Be careful to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed. We'll output:
