Project Cost Analyst

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. From description: There's description paragraph about role, then "Successful Candidates Will Enjoy..." that's about benefits? Actually that's about work environment, flexible hours, career development, etc. Could be Benefits? But there is later "Pay And Benefits" section with generic statement about benefits. Also there is explicit Pay Range. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, navigation, etc. Also remove "Original Posting September 15, 2026", "For U.S. Positions: While subject to change..." etc. Also remove "About Leidos" paragraph? That's about company, maybe not needed? It's substantive but not about role? Might be considered boilerplate? It's about Leidos company info; could be considered not needed? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Leidos" is not exactly those but could be considered company overview; maybe keep? It's substantive but not required? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep company overview if it's substantive. However we need to fit into sections. Could put under "About the role" maybe? But that section is for role description. Could create a section "About Leidos" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are limited to those listed; we should only use those headings. So we must map content to those headings. If content doesn't fit, maybe we omit heading. But we must preserve all substantive info; we could embed company overview in a

without heading? The instruction: Use

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. It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Likely we should only use those headings when appropriate. If we have content that doesn't fit those, we could just put in

  without heading. Thus we can have:

  Description Leidos Engineering is seeking an experienced Project Cost Analyst...

  etc. Then maybe a

  About the role

  with description? But we already have description. Could combine. Better: Use

  About the role

  for the initial paragraph describing role. Then

  Responsibilities

  with
  of duties. Then

  Requirements

  with
  of background requirements. Then

  Qualifications

  maybe not needed if same as Requirements? Could combine. But we have "Background Requirements" list. Could treat as Requirements. Then

  Skills

  maybe from bullet list of skills? Not explicit list; we have communication skills, etc. Could put in
  under Skills. Then

  Pay

  with pay range. Then

  Benefits

  from "Successful Candidates Will Enjoy..." and "Pay And Benefits" paragraph. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to remove boilerplate: "Original Posting September 15, 2026", "For U.S. Positions: While subject to change...", "About Leidos" paragraph (maybe keep? but it's about company; could be considered not required but substantive. Might be okay to keep as a

  without heading). Also remove "Pay And Benefits" heading? We'll use our own. Remove "Securing Your Data", "Commitment to Non-Discrimination", "#Remote". Also remove "Step 10 is ancient history..." etc (that's fluff). Also remove "If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling." etc. We need to preserve all substantive info: role description, responsibilities, requirements, benefits, pay.

Probably we should keep the text but maybe add spaces for readability? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the exact text, but we can format with

  . The missing spaces are part of original; we keep them. - Then "This role will involve work with forecasts, cost controls, process documentation, risk identification and variance analysis." That's part of responsibilities intro. - Then responsibilities list after "Responsibilities will include:" with items separated by no punctuation? Actually they are concatenated without spaces. We need to split into list items.
