for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit 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 posting actually states them.
We have content: Job Description (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Essential Skills (list), Additional Skills & Qualifications (list), Work Environment (paragraph), Job Type & Location (maybe not needed as heading? Could be part of About the role? But we have sections: About the role (maybe from description), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe essential skills?), Qualifications (maybe additional skills?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections to include based on actual content.
We have:
- About the role: The initial paragraph: "This role focuses on the planning, design, and delivery of PreK–12 educational facilities, serving as both a project architect and designer. You lead K–12 school projects using Revit, contribute to conceptual and detailed design, and ensure that construction quality aligns with the intended design. You manage the client relationship and the project from initial concept through construction completion, delivering functional, flexible, and sustainable learning environments." That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: list of bullet points (many). We'll output as
- each.
- Requirements: Could be "Essential Skills" which includes professional experience, years, license, proficiency, etc. That's requirements. We'll treat as Requirements.
- Qualifications: Could be "Additional Skills & Qualifications". That's more qualifications. We'll treat as Qualifications.
- Skills: Could be overlapping but we already have essential skills and additional skills. Might combine? But we need to avoid duplicate sections. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications into one "Requirements" or "Qualifications". But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to include only those with real content.
We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Essential Skills (requirements), Additional Skills & Qualifications (qualifications), Work Environment (maybe part of About the role or separate?), Pay And Benefits (pay range and benefits), Workplace Type (fully onsite) maybe schedule? Not exactly schedule but we have office hours: core hours 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., eight-hour workdays, some flexibility. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that.
Benefits: list of benefits given.
Pay: pay range $35.00 - $45.00/hr.
Thus we can include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Essential Skills), Qualifications (Additional Skills & Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Work Environment could be part of About the role or separate but we can omit to keep few sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Good.
We must not include boilerplate: remove Application Deadline, About Actalent, equal opportunity, etc.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to format as HTML fragment: no /, no markdown fences.
We'll output something like:

- Coordinate closely with internal team members and external stakeholders to integrate architectural, engineering, and planning requirements into cohesive project solutions.
- Engage directly with clients throughout the project lifecycle, building long-term relationships and serving as a trusted advisor on educational facility design.
- Prepare and refine schematic design and design development packages, including drawings, details, and supporting materials.
- Produce and review construction documents, including detailed drawings and specifications, to support bidding and construction.
- Contribute architectural detailing and drafting expertise to ensure constructible, code-compliant, and durable design solutions.
- Support or lead project management activities, such as scheduling, design milestones, coordination meetings, and documentation of decisions.
- Collaborate within project teams of three to four people on each school project, sharing responsibility for design, documentation, and coordination.
- Apply knowledge of K–12 or higher education facility requirements and best practices to inform planning and design.
- Use Revit Architecture as the primary design and documentation tool for all project phases.
- Support continuous improvement of design standards, documentation quality, and processes within a multidisciplinary practice.
Requirements
- Professional experience in architecture with a focus on K–12 or higher education facilities.
- 5–15 years of architectural experience, with at least 10 years of relevant project work strongly preferred.
- Architect license in Pennsylvania, with experience in educational K–12 building projects preferred.
- Proficiency in Revit and Revit Architecture for design and construction document production.

Pay
The pay range for this position is $35.00 - $45.00/hr. Individual compensation offered for this position within this range will depend on many factors, including qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors.
Schedule
The office maintains a business casual dress code and operates on eight-hour workdays, with core hours from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., allowing some flexibility around these times.
We should also maybe include Work Environment? But we already have schedule. Could add Work Environment as a section but we might be adding many sections. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We have 7 sections already; maybe we can combine Work Environment into About the role or Schedule. But we have schedule separate; we could incorporate work environment into About the role or Schedule. However, the work environment includes details about multidisciplinary practice, team size, Revit standard, dress code, hours. Some of that is already in schedule (hours) and maybe we could add to About the role. But we already have About the role paragraph; we could extend it with work environment details. However, we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can add those details to About the role paragraph. Let's incorporate the work environment paragraph into About the role.
Thus About the role paragraph becomes longer: include the description plus work environment details.
Let's craft About the role:
"This role focuses on the planning, design, and delivery of PreK–12 educational facilities, serving as both a project architect and designer. You lead K–12 school projects using Revit, contribute to conceptual and detailed design, and ensure that construction quality aligns with the intended design. You manage the client relationship and the project from initial concept through construction completion, delivering functional, flexible, and sustainable learning environments. You work within a nationally recognized, multidisciplinary planning, architectural, and engineering practice dedicated primarily to PreK–12 educational facilities, where approximately 98% of projects involve schools. Project teams typically consist of three to four professionals per school, fostering close collaboration and shared responsibility. Revit is the standard platform for design and documentation, and all architectural project work is completed in this environment. The office maintains a business casual dress code and operates on eight-hour workdays, with core hours from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., allowing some flexibility around these times. The culture emphasizes long-term client relationships, comprehensive in-house disciplines, and single-source responsibility, creating a setting where functional, flexible, and sustainable learning environments are the central focus."
That covers work environment and schedule details. Then we may not need separate Schedule section. However, the schedule details are included there. But we still have Pay and Benefits sections. The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. We have schedule content inside About the role,
