Principal Protection & Control Engineer
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. 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. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
Thus we need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- Intro paragraph: "Power your Future with Qualus as a Principal Protection & Control Engineer. As a Principal Substation P&C Engineer, you’ll serve as the technical subject matter expert, leading the design of high-voltage substations that power communities and critical infrastructure. You'll develop innovative, code-compliant engineering solutions, mentor junior engineers, and help drive technical excellence across complex utility projects. Working closely with clients and across cross-functional teams, you'll influence project success from concept through construction while ensuring the highest standards of quality, safety, and reliability. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced engineer who enjoys solving challenging technical problems, developing others, and making a lasting impact on the future of the electric grid. This position may be performed remotely from within the United States. While remote candidates are encouraged to apply, candidates located near one of the following Qualus office locations and available for a hybrid schedule are preferred: Chattanooga, TN Farmington, UT Fort Worth, TX Lake Mary, FL Raleigh, NC Reno, NV Ridgeland, MS Trussville, AL Westborough, MA"
That's about the role. Could be "About the role". Also includes location/hybrid info. Not pay or schedule specifics.
- Then "Incentives Flexible work schedules that support work-life balance and individual needs. Opportunities for remote and hybrid work arrangements, depending on role and location. Competitve sign-on bonus and relocation assistance opportunities for eligible candidates. Refer-a-friend bonus program that rewards employees for helping grow our team. Ongoing career development opportunities, including training, mentorship, and advancement pathways. Exposure to challenging and impactful projects that help shape the future of the utility and energy industries."
That's benefits/incentives. Could be "Benefits". Also includes flexible work schedules.
- Then "Responsibilities" heading with bullet list (actually sentences). We'll need to convert to
- .
- Then "Minimum Qualifications" heading with bullet list (actually sentences). Could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction says we can use Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We'll choose "Qualifications". It includes Bachelor's degree, 15+ years experience, PE license, proficiency with MS Office, etc.
- Then "Benefits & Compensation" heading with paragraph about benefits and compensation range. We'll need to include Benefits section (since they list benefits). Pay section? They mention compensation range but not specific numbers; they say "The compensation range for this position is provided in accordance with applicable laws and market practices. The final base salary offered may vary..." This is vague but still mentions compensation. However instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. They do state benefits and compensation (though not specific numbers). So we can include a Benefits section (maybe also Pay?). But they say "Benefits & Compensation". We could combine into Benefits section. Pay section would be if they gave specific salary range; they didn't. So we should not create a Pay section. We'll include Benefits section with the benefits list.
- Then "Company Overview" paragraph. Could be "About the company" but not in list of headings. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Company Overview is not listed; maybe we should not create a heading for it. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information. We could incorporate company overview into About the role or maybe a separate section not in allowed list? 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 says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are examples; we could still use other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. However we need to preserve company overview info. Could we put it under About the role? That section already has role description; we could add company overview as a paragraph there. That would preserve info. Or we could create a section "About the company" but not in list; risk of being considered not following instruction. Safer to incorporate into About the role.
- Then "Equal Opportunity Employer" etc is boilerplate to remove.
- Also "Incentives" paragraph we already considered as benefits.
Thus sections: About the role (intro + location + company overview), Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (minimum qualifications), Benefits (benefits & compensation paragraph). Possibly also "Skills"? Not needed.
We need to format lists: For Responsibilities, we have multiple sentences each starting with a verb. We'll make each a
- . For Qualifications, each bullet.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
Principal Protection & Control Engineer

We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content precisely.
Intro paragraph (about the role) includes:

We could keep as a single .
Then location list maybe could be a
but it's not a list of duties; it's location preferences. Could keep as part of paragraph.
