Project Accountant (Howard S. Wright)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a summary about the company and role. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when there is real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove EEO statement at end? It's boilerplate; we should drop it. Also remove "Our Benefits" heading? We'll create Benefits section with list. We need to include Pay section because posting states Pay range: $62,000 - $83,000. Also note about range etc. Should we include that explanatory text? It's part of pay details; we can include as

under Pay. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. We need About the role: maybe a brief description of role from summary: "Howard S. Wright, a Balfour Beatty Company, is seeking a Project Accountant in Seattle, WA. The Project Accountant is the primary accounting and administrative support for a construction project, from project startup through final closeout. Serves as the liaison between the jobsite and the finance department, ensuring all accounting standard operating procedures are followed at the jobsite." That's substantive. Responsibilities: list essential functions: Project Accounting, Subcontractor Management, Project Administration, Promote Customer Relations. Each with bullet points. Requirements: Minimum Requirements: Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field preferred (or equivalent experience) and 2 to 4 years of experience, preferably in the construction industry on large, complex projects. Depending upon the project size, scope, and complexity the years of experience may vary. Depending upon the role, this may require demonstrated ability to assist with more than one project at a time. Demonstrates proficiency in basic accounting principles. Demonstrates solid customer service skills and verbal/written skills. Demonstrates the ability to be a team player and function in a fast-paced, changing environment. Experience with Certified Payroll Preferred. Experience Local candidate preferred, but not required. Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Could combine? But we need separate sections only if content. Could treat Requirements as qualifications. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings; we need to decide if we have distinct content. The posting has "Minimum Requirements". That's qualifications. Could also have "Qualifications" maybe same. To avoid thin sections, we could put all under Requirements and omit Qualifications. Or we could put Requirements and Qualifications both but risk thin. Better to combine into one section, maybe label as Requirements (or Qualifications). The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says use those headings when appropriate. We can choose to include Requirements and not Qualifications if content fits. Or we could split: Requirements: education/experience; Qualifications: skills like proficiency, customer service, team player, certified payroll, etc. That seems reasonable. Skills: maybe list specific skills: proficiency in basic accounting principles, solid customer service skills, verbal/written skills, team player, fast-paced environment, experience with certified payroll. Could be under Skills. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info; we must not drop any detail. So we need to include all bullet points from essential functions, all requirements, etc. Let's extract details: Company intro: Balfour Beatty US is an industry-leading provider... (maybe not needed for role but could be About the role? Might be considered company overview; but we can include under About the role? The instruction: About the role heading for section headings. Could include company description as part of About the role. It's substantive. But we must not repeat job title as heading. Already not. We need to include "Our Benefits" list: Medical, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance, Health Savings Account, 401(k) with company match, Paid time off, Tuition Assistance, Employee Referral Bonus, And more! We need to include Pay range: $62,000 - $83,000 and explanatory text about range. We need to exclude EEO statement at end. We need to exclude duplicated lines: maybe "Depending upon the project size, scope, and complexity the years of experience may vary." appears twice? Actually appears once in Minimum Requirements and again later? Let's check: In Minimum Requirements: "Depending upon the project size, scope, and complexity the years of experience may vary." Then later: "Depending upon the role, this may require demonstrated ability to assist with more than one project at a time." Not duplicate. There's also "Depending upon the role, this may require demonstrated ability to assist with more than one project at a time." That's fine. Also there is "Local candidate preferred, but not required." That's fine. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "No amount of pay is considered to be wages or compensation until such amount is earned, vested, and determinable." That's part of Pay details; it's substantive? It's legal boilerplate about pay. Might be considered boilerplate but it's part of pay description. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That line is legal boilerplate about pay; maybe we should remove? It's not essential to the role; it's generic. Safer to remove? But it's part of Pay section; but it's legal. I'd remove it to avoid boilerplate. Keep only the range and maybe the note about factors influencing pay. That note is also somewhat generic but maybe needed. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The note about factors is substantive? It's generic but still part of posting. I'd keep it. Now produce HTML. Structure:

About the role

... company description and role summary ...

Responsibilities

• Project Accounting: ... (multiple sentences) maybe break into sub-bullets? Could keep as one li with semicolons. Better to keep each essential function as li with its details. We have four essential functions: Project Accounting, Subcontractor Management, Project Administration, Promote Customer Relations. Each has multiple bullet points inside. Could nest? But spec only says use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Could have nested lists? Not prohibited but safer to keep flat list with each duty as li, and inside li we can have multiple sentences. Thus:
  • Project Accounting: Provides information to appropriate people regarding project status (i.e. PFR, job cost reports to owners, etc.) and communicates between the field and corporate office; ensures job cost reports and accounts receivable reports are accurate at all times and in balance with the general ledger; ensures all information in the project cost system and underlying supporting records are properly classified in a manner that best facilitates the use of the information; understands the nature of the project cost systems and the information processed; brings issues to the attention of Financial Services and the Project Manager for assistance and further evaluation; enters all financial paperwork into the accounting system to ensure timely and accurate job cost information (owner and sub change orders, owner billings, budget transfers, subcontractor pay requirements, payroll and A/P invoices); processes all miscellaneous and blanket purchase order invoices in a timely manner and ensure supporting paperwork is attached, correct and approved; collaborates with key people to process monthly billings to owners and runs projected final cost report.
  Similarly for Subcontractor Management, Project Administration, Promote Customer Relations.

  Requirements

  • Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field preferred (or equivalent experience) and 2 to 4 years of experience, preferably in the construction industry on large, complex projects.
  • Depending upon the project size, scope, and complexity the years of experience may vary.
  • Depending upon the role, this may require demonstrated ability to assist with more than one project at a time.

  Qualifications

  • Demonstrates proficiency in basic accounting principles.
  • Demonstrates solid customer service skills and verbal/written skills.
  • Demonstrates the ability to be a team player and function in a fast-paced, changing environment.
  • Experience with Certified Payroll preferred.
  • Local candidate preferred, but not required.

  Skills

  Maybe we could merge Qualifications and Skills; but we already have Qualifications. Could treat Skills as same as Qualifications? Might be thin. Better to combine Qualifications and Skills into one section called Requirements? But we already have Requirements for education/experience. Could rename Qualifications to Skills and include the skill statements. Let's decide: We'll have Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (proficiency, customer service, team player, certified payroll, local candidate). That seems reasonable. Thus:

  Skills

  ...

  Benefits

  • Medical, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance
  • Health Savings Account
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off
  • Tuition Assistance
  • Employee Referral Bonus
  • And more!

  Pay

  Pay range: $62,000 - $83,000. This is the lowest to highest salary we in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, geographic location, performance, shift, travel requirements, sales or revenue-based metrics, any collective bargaining agreements, and business or organizational needs.

  We removed the legal boilerplate about wages earned etc. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not duplicated. Check for any boilerplate removed: EEO statement at end removed. Also removed "Our Benefits Balfour Beatty offers employees a comprehensive compensation and benefit package:" heading? We kept Benefits list but removed that introductory sentence. That's okay because we preserved the list items. The sentence is boilerplate; we removed it. Check for any other boilerplate: "Perform heavy civil and vertical construction..." that's company description; we kept in About the role. Check for any mention of "Zero Harm®" etc. That's company description; we kept. Check for any mention of "Consistently ranked among the nation’s largest building contractors..." we kept. Check for any mention of "Our teammates have an instinctive passion..." we kept. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The summary about role: "Howard S. Wright, a Balfour Beatty Company, is seeking a Project Accountant in Seattle, WA. The Project Accountant is the primary accounting and administrative support for a construction project, from project startup through final closeout. Serves as the liaison between the jobsite and the finance department, ensuring all accounting standard operating procedures are followed at the jobsite." We included that in About the role? We included company description but not that specific summary. Let's incorporate that into About the role paragraph. Thus About the role paragraph: combine company overview and role summary. Let's craft:

  Balfour Beatty US is an industry-leading provider of general contracting, at-risk construction management and design-build services for public and private sector clients across the nation. Performing heavy civil and vertical construction, our teams build the unique structures and infrastructure that play an important role in how people live, work, learn and play in our
