We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Who we are:" and then description. Also responsibilities, qualifications, pay & perks (pay range), benefits. Also maybe "Why MSA?" includes culture, etc. We need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting: - Title: Project Engineer – Structural (already shown, not repeat as heading) - Intro paragraph: "Project Engineer – Structural MSA is seeking a Project Engineer – Structural to lead the planning and design of impactful building structures serving municipalities and infrastructure clients. This role focuses on projects that directly support thriving, resilient communities. If you’re a licensed PE or SE in Illinois (or interested in acquiring your SE) who thrives on diverse projects, enjoys collaborating with others, and wants to lead meaningful projects from concept through construction, this is your opportunity. This role is based out of any of our Iowa or Illinois offices" That's about the role. Could be "About the role" heading. - "Who we are:" paragraph about MSA history, purpose, etc. Could be "About MSA" but not in list of allowed headings. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can maybe put "About the role" includes both role description and company overview? Or we could create separate sections but only allowed headings. The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings. We should stick to those. So we need to map content to those headings. We have: - About the role: include intro paragraph and maybe "Who we are:"? Could be considered about the role? Might be okay. - Responsibilities: list bullet points under "Responsibilities What You'll Lead" with subheadings Structural Design & Technical Experience, Client & Project Leadership, Mentorship & Business Impact. We'll output
  • for each duty. - Requirements / Qualifications: The posting has "Qualifications What You Bring". That's qualifications. Also there is "What You Bring" list. So we can put under Qualifications heading. - Skills: maybe we could extract skills like "Expertise in structural engineering principles and building design standards", "Advanced proficiency with Revit, structural modeling/analysis software, and Microsoft Office", "Strong financial awareness". Could be under Skills. - Benefits: The posting has "Why MSA?" with bullet-like paragraphs: Better Together, Multi-disciplinary Opportunities, We've Got Your Back, Passion & Purpose, Pay & Perks, Communities of Practice, Work-Life Integration, Commitment to Learning, Community Engagement. Also "Best-in-Industry Benefits - Eligible employees enjoy:" list of insurance, PTO, holidays, parental leave, supplemental insurance, ESOP, 401k, STIP bonus. So we can put Benefits heading with those details. - Pay: The posting includes "The salary for this position ranges from $79,000 to $126,529 per year commensurate with experience. Higher compensation within this range will be paid to candidates with significant experience and exceptional qualifications." So we need Pay section with that content. - Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's mention of "flex time program", "flexible work environment, including hybrid and remote options where possible". That's schedule/flexibility. Could be Schedule section. It says "A flex time program that empowers you to manage your schedule — because life doesn’t always fit inside 9 to 5A flexible work environment, including hybrid and remote options where possible, to support your productivity and well-being". So we can include Schedule. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" as heading content; but we can include that in Pay section as it's substantive. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is EEO statement; we should remove that. Also remove "We are unable to provide or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this role." That's substantive? It's a requirement about visa sponsorship. Might be considered part of Qualifications? It's a requirement: "The selected candidate must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. without requiring visa sponsorship now or in the future. We are unable to provide or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this role." That's a requirement; we can include under Qualifications or Requirements. We must preserve all substantive information. Now craft HTML. Structure:

    But also we have "Expertise in structural engineering principles and building design standards", "Advanced proficiency with Revit, structural modeling/analysis software, and Microsoft Office", "Strong financial awareness — understanding scope, budgets, and profitability".

      • Short Term Incentive (STIP) bonus
    But nested
      inside
    • is okay but maybe better to keep top-level
        for benefits and then sublist for Best-in-Industry Benefits. Could also separate. We need to ensure valid HTML: can't have
          directly inside
        • without closing? Actually you can have
            inside
          • . It's fine. Next:

            We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed that. Check for any duplicated lines: we didn't repeat. Check for any placeholders like "commensurate with experience" appears in Pay section; that's okay as it's actual content. Check for any "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD": none.
