- . However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding another section may be okay if it's substantive. But we already have many sections.

Now About the role: combine intro paragraphs intomaybe multiple
. We'll put as
with the combined text. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. Not include "Principal Acoustics Consultant" as heading. It's okay to appear in text. Now we must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, accommodation contact, diversity statement, etc. Also remove "Working @ SLR" fluff beyond benefits and schedule. Also remove "We are SLR Consulting (US), a 500+ coast-to-coast team..." maybe that's part of About the role? It's substantive about company. Could keep in About the role. But we already have a lot.

Thus About the role will include: - Intro about role and team. - Description of SLR Consulting (US) etc. - Flexibility etc. We'll craft a couple paragraphs. Now produce HTML. Let's draft:
