Project Archaeologist – Cultural Resources

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Need to preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. First paragraph: "At AKS, we are growing and building for the future..." This is about the company, maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be description of role. The posting includes: "AKS is seeking a Project Archaeologist to join our growing Cultural Resources practice..." That's about the role. Also location info. We need sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (What You’ll Do), Requirements (Who You Are), Qualifications (maybe overlapping with Requirements), Skills (maybe Nice to Have?), Benefits (Why AKS?), Pay (none), Schedule (none). Since no pay or schedule info, we should not include those sections. We need to use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like location, travel, etc. We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract content: Company description: "At AKS, we are growing and building for the future. We bring together multidisciplined experts across the land development, energy, and infrastructure markets to take on bigger challenges and deliver solutions that make a real difference. Our teams combine creativity, technical excellence, and a collaborative, hands-on approach to solve complex problems and deliver results our clients and communities can count on. We take pride in our work and our ability to provide opportunities for our teams, support each other’s growth, and look ahead to what’s next. When you join AKS, you will find opportunities to take ownership of meaningful projects, learn, lead, and make an impact from day one." That's about the company, could be part of About the role? Might be better as "About the role" includes that plus role specifics. Role specifics: "AKS is seeking a Project Archaeologist to join our growing Cultural Resources practice and help deliver thoughtful, technically excellent, and highly responsive cultural resources consulting throughout the western United States. We are looking for more than a capable field archaeologist. The right person understands that successful cultural resources consulting requires a combination of sound archaeological practices, regulatory expertise, project management, communication, and exceptional client service. This individual will work across the full project lifecycle, from desktop review and regulatory strategy through field investigations, analysis, reporting, agency coordination, and project closeout. The Project Archaeologist will lead field crews, prepare high-quality technical products, support project managers and clients, and collaborate closely with environmental planners, engineers, biologists, GIS professionals, construction teams, agencies, Tribal representatives, and other stakeholders.

We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe combine company description + role specifics). Responsibilities (What You’ll Do). Requirements (Who You Are). Qualifications (maybe Nice to Have? Actually Qualifications could be the required qualifications; Skills could be Nice to Have? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications; we could treat Requirements as mandatory qualifications, Qualifications as nice-to-have? However the instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications (nice-to-have), Skills (maybe we could treat Skills as technical skills? But we already have skills in Requirements. Could combine Skills with Requirements? But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can merge Skills into Requirements or Qualifications. However we need to follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. That's four sections. Qualifications and Skills could be omitted if we incorporate their content into Requirements. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can incorporate nice-to-have into Requirements as a subsection? But we need to use

  • for any list. We could have a single Requirements section with both required and nice-to-have items, maybe differentiate with a note? But we must not invent headings like "Nice to Have". Could just list all items under Requirements, but that would mix required and nice-to-have, losing distinction. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; not required to keep distinction. So we can combine them. Similarly Benefits we have. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. We need to ensure we include location, travel etc. Let's craft About the role paragraph(s). Could be two paragraphs: company overview and role description. Use

    for prose. Responsibilities:

    • each bullet. Requirements:
      • each bullet (including nice-to-have). Might be long but okay. Benefits:
        • each bullet. No Pay or Schedule. Make sure no extra whitespace? It's fine. Let's write HTML. Check for any boilerplate removed: We removed "Location:" line? Actually we included location in About the role. We need to preserve location info. We'll include it in About the role paragraph. We also need to preserve "When you join AKS, you will find opportunities..." etc. Let's draft. About the role:
