Preconstruction / Design Manager - MEP
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
Job title: Preconstruction / Design Manager - MEP (but we do not repeat as heading). We need to include sections: maybe About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements/Qualifications (maybe combine?), Benefits (they talk about benefits), Pay (they mention compensation: Competitive base salary, excellent bonus program, 401k, Employee ownership program). Schedule not mentioned. So we include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Possibly Skills? Not explicit separate list; but could embed in responsibilities. We'll follow instruction: only include sections when posting has real specific content.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove lines about Sponsorship, etc? The sponsorship line is part of requirements? It says "Currently, the company is not considering applicants for this position who now or in the future require employment sponsorship by the company." That's a requirement (eligibility). Should we keep? It's substantive info about eligibility. Probably keep under Requirements.
We need to remove EEO statements, privacy policy, search firm disclaimer, etc.
We need to keep the description of Skanska culture, values, etc. That's about the role/company.
We need to format.
Let's extract sections:
About the role: Intro paragraph(s) describing Skanska, culture, purpose, values, and overview of role. Could be multiple paragraphs but we can combine into
.
Responsibilities: list of duties: "The Preconstruction Manager - MEP oversees the preconstruction process and resources to deliver high-quality, cost‑effective services that keep projects within defined scope and budget. You will produce and review detailed cost estimates of MEP disciplines and coordination of civil, structural, architectural diciplines, apply advanced estimating tools and market insights, and ensure estimate accuracy and quality. Collaborating with design, operations, and business development, you will challenge design assumptions, propose and track value-management options, support procurement planning, and develop subcontractor relationships to optimize project outcomes. Your role includes serving as a key leader between Skanska and its subcontractors and design teams, supporting Design-Build projects and other collaborative delivery models as needed. The role is responsible for guiding the design process from pursuit through construction, coordinating with operations, subcontractors and design partners, and helping ensure scope, cost, schedule, and quality objectives are achieved, identifying and mitigating project risks. You will act as a champion for Skanska’s values while ensuring confidentiality and consistent delivery of preconstruction deliverables."
We can break into bullet list items.
Requirements/Qualifications: list: "Preconstruction Manager Required Qualifications: 7+ years of proven leadership of preconstruction/estimating or Mechanical/Electrical teams with oversight of multi-discipline cost estimating (civil, structural, architectural, and MEP) 5+ years of experience in producing and reviewing detailed cost estimates using advanced estimating tools and market insights; ensure accuracy and quality 5+ Years of experience with risk management, contract review, and value management capabilities. 5+ years of experience coordinating design, operations, and business development; ability to present to clients and maintain confidentiality. 1+ year of experience with the Value Management processes Bachelor’s Degree – Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management or equivalent/applicable degree; or 8 years equivalent experience and minimum 7 years prior relevant experience. Currently, the company is not considering applicants for this position who now or in the future require employment sponsorship by the company."
We could split into Requirements (experience) and Qualifications (education). But we can combine under Requirements heading.
Benefits: "Our Investment in you: We believe that Benefits should connect you to the support you need when it matters most, and should help you care for those who matter most. That’s why we provide an array of options (including medical, dental, and vision insurance plans), expert guidance, and always-on tools, that are personalized to meet the needs of your reality – to help support you physically, financially, and emotionally through the big milestones and in your everyday life.

Also later: "At Skanska, we Care for Life. And we’re committed to supporting your whole health and peace of mind through inclusive and personalized total rewards. We’re committed to your success by developing you in your role and supporting your career growth"
Also: "Compensation and financial well-being – Competitive base salary, excellent bonus program, 401k, & Employee ownership program."
Thus Benefits section includes medical/dental/vision, expert guidance, always-on tools, etc. Also mention total rewards, career growth.
Pay: "Compensation and financial well-being – Competitive base salary, excellent bonus program, 401k, & Employee ownership program."
We could also include that as Pay.
Schedule: none.
We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment.

We need to ensure we didn't repeat job title as heading. Good.
Check for any leftover boilerplate: we removed EEO, privacy policy, search firm disclaimer, etc. Also removed lines about "Background Check Required". That is a substantive line? It's a requirement but maybe minor. Should we include? It says "Background Check Required". Could be included under Requirements as a bullet. It's substantive. Let's add.
Add bullet: "Background check required."
Also we removed duplicated lines like "Skanska Equal Employment Opportunity". Good.
Check for any mention of "Compensation and Benefits summary on our careers site for more details." That's a reference; we could keep as part of Benefits prose maybe. But we already captured benefits. Could add a sentence: "Please visit the compensation and Benefits summary on our careers site for more details." As a under Benefits? But instruction: use
for prose,
- for any list. We have benefits as list; we could add a
after list for that sentence. However we must not invent or summarize away detail. That sentence is detail. So we should include it.
Similarly, there is a sentence: "As a Skanska community, our values ground us, and our diversity of experience propels us forward. No matter what your career stage, there’s a place for you to thrive here and partner with us in shaping how our world lives, moves, and connects." That's also about culture; could be added to About the role paragraph.
Also: "At Skanska, we Care for Life. And we’re committed to supporting your whole health and peace of mind through inclusive and personalized total rewards.We’re committed to your success by developing you in your role and supporting your career growth" Already somewhat covered.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's incorporate those sentences.
We'll adjust About the role to include the extra sentences about community and values.
We'll also add a
under Benefits for the "Please visit the compensation and Benefits summary on our careers site for more details."
Also maybe add a
under Benefits for the "As a Skanska community..." sentence? Actually that is more about culture, could go under About the role.
Let's rewrite About the role paragraph to include:
"Skanska is searching for a Preconstruction / Design Manager - MEP. This is a great opportunity to start a career with a company that builds things that matter and values its team.

That covers.
