Project Estimator
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. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a 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 the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to include sections only when there is real content. We have:
- About Us: maybe not needed as a heading? The instruction says headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "About Us" is not listed; but we could treat "About the role" as Position Overview. The "About Us" is company description; maybe we can include as a short paragraph before sections? Not required but could be included as a
. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the company description (About Us) as part of the content. It could be placed as a
before sections.
- Position Overview: we have a paragraph describing role. That could be "About the role". Use
About the role
then with the overview.
- Key Responsibilities: list bullet points. Use
Responsibilities
then - ... each bullet.
- Qualifications & Skills: we have Qualifications & Skills heading. Could split into Requirements (Qualifications) and Skills? But we can combine as Qualifications. Use
Qualifications
then maybe for experience, education, technical expertise, etc. However the instruction says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can list each qualification as
- . The content includes multiple sentences; we can break into separate items.
- What We Offer: benefits etc. Use
Benefits
then for each benefit.
We must not include Pay or Schedule sections because not specified.
We must remove EEO boilerplate etc. The posting includes "Flow Control Group is an Equal Opportunity Employer" repeated; also "Embody the FCG Core Values" etc. Those are boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The core values section might be considered boilerplate? It's not exactly EEO but it's cultural values; maybe we should keep? It's not duplicated lines; it's substantive? It's describing company values; could be considered part of "About Us" but it's repetitive with earlier About Us. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove duplicated lines; but core values are not duplicated elsewhere exactly. However they are generic corporate values; but they are part of the posting. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep them unless they are considered boilerplate. The core values section is likely part of the company culture description; could be kept as part of About Us or as a separate section? There's no heading for culture; but we could incorporate into About Us paragraph.
Also there is "Why Build a Career with Us?" section with bullet points about ownership, benefits, training, career growth. That's similar to What We Offer but more detailed. We need to preserve all substantive information; we should not duplicate. We can combine benefits and career growth etc into Benefits section? But the instruction says use Benefits heading only if posting actually states them. It does state benefits: "Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package (Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k, etc.)" and later "Competitive Benefits: Enjoy an attractive benefits package that includes Medical, Dental and Vision insurance (among other plans), competitive 401(k) matching program, career growth opportunities, employee referral program, paid time off and holidays, as well as parental leave." Also training, career growth opportunities. So we can include all those under Benefits.
We should not include "Why Build a Career with Us?" as a separate heading; we can incorporate its content into Benefits section.
We must not include duplicated lines: The posting repeats "Flow Control Group is an Equal Opportunity Employer" twice; we should keep only one? The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should keep only one instance, maybe remove the second.
Also "Equal Opportunity Employer: Flow Control Group is an Equal Opportunity Employer." That's duplicated; we can keep one short line maybe as a but it's boilerplate EEO; instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should remove the EEO statements entirely. So we will not include any EEO lines.
