Project Cost Analyst Associate- Senior

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive information. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Job Summary: description of role responsibilities. - Responsibilities: many bullet-like sentences. - Job Description: includes "What you’ll do:" list of duties. - "What we’re looking for:" includes education and experience requirements for different grades (SG5, SG6, SG7). Also includes license/certifications notes, plus additional skills: time management, organizational, accuracy, attention to detail, proficiency in MS Office, team player, some travel, light physical duties, understand AEP policies, exposure to systems preferred, availability for overtime, call-out, shift work, attitude to satisfy customers. - Where you’ll work: site in New Albany, Ohio or Fort Wayne, Indiana. - What you’ll get: salary ranges for each grade, plus benefits package description. - Compensation Data: grade SP20-006, range $63,496 - $109,543. - Physical Demand Level: S – Sedentary Work description. - Also some fluff about AEP mission etc. Might be considered boilerplate? The mission statement maybe not boilerplate but could be considered generic. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The mission statement about Putting the Customer First Powers Everything We Do might be considered fluff but it's substantive? It's more like marketing. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to keep if it's not explicitly listed as boilerplate. But we can drop if it's generic. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So mission statement not in that list, but could be considered fluff. However we should preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. The mission statement is substantive? It's not about job duties. Might be considered fluff but not prohibited. I'd keep it maybe under a section "About the role" or "About AEP". But we have no heading for About the role unless we have content. Could create About the role with summary. We need to decide sections. Potential sections: - About the role (Job Summary) - Responsibilities (combined from Job Summary bullet and What you’ll do list) - Requirements (Education, Experience, Licenses/Certifications, Additional skills) - Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? Could combine.) - Skills (maybe technical skills: MS Office, analytical, etc.) - Benefits (benefits package description) - Pay (salary ranges) - Schedule (maybe mention travel, overtime, shift work, call-out, etc.) Could be under Schedule. - Work Location (maybe not a standard heading; but we could put under About the role or separate? Not in list of allowed headings. The allowed headings are only those listed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we must fit everything into those. Thus we need to place location somewhere, maybe in About the role or Responsibilities? Could add a sentence in About the role: "This role sits on site in New Albany, Ohio or Fort Wayne, Indiana." Similarly, physical demand level could go under Requirements or Skills? Probably Requirements. Now we must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary ranges, so Pay section is valid. Benefits: we have description of benefits package. Schedule: we have travel, overtime, call-out, shift work, maybe also some travel. So we can create Schedule section. Now we need to format using

for each section heading, then content:

for prose,

• for lists. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

  Project Cost Analyst

  . We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's gather content. About the role: Use Job Summary paragraph plus maybe location. Job Summary: "This role will be responsible for coordinating project cost analysis and controls for team activities supporting the Project Managers (PMs), or other staff, including overseeing the cost reporting for multiple projects and monitoring project budgets to assure accurate depiction of project cost on intermediate projects under some supervision.

Add location: "This role sits on site in New Albany, Ohio or Fort Wayne, Indiana." We can combine into a paragraph. Responsibilities: Need to list duties from "What you’ll do:" and maybe other responsibilities. Let's extract bullet points from "What you’ll do:" (the long paragraph).
