We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can combine similar items but not lose detail. Must not omit any substantive info. That's a lot. We need to ensure we capture everything: The description of IF support 9000+ tenants etc. The teamwork culture. The mission. The responsibilities list (many bullet items). The Project Leader 2 additional responsibilities. The minimum job requirements (knowledge and expertise, organizational skills, collaboration, relationship management, communication, technology). Additional job requirements for higher level (list). Training/Certifications: PMP or Project Management Certificate preferred. Education/Experience at lower level: bachelor's + 2 years; or equivalent.

Desired Qualifications list (knowledge of regulatory requirements, experience coordinating with external agencies, ability to quickly learn complex org structures, familiarity with utility systems, etc.). Note to Applicants (citizenship restrictions) - that's substantive; we need to include. Work Environment: Work Location: onsite Los Alamos, NM. Position commitment: 1 year regular appointment. Where You Will Work paragraph about LANL. Benefits package list. Additional Details: Directive 206.2, Clearance Q, etc. New-Employment Drug Test, Regular position, Equal Opportunity statement. All of these are substantive.
We need to decide where to place each piece. Could create sections: About the role (includes description of IF, mission, etc.). Responsibilities (includes both levels? maybe separate sub-sections? But we can combine responsibilities for both levels, noting that PL2 includes additional leadership responsibilities). Could also have a separate section for "Additional responsibilities for Project Leader 2". But we can incorporate within responsibilities with note.
Requirements: Minimum Job Requirements (knowledge and expertise, organizational skills, collaboration, relationship management, communication, technology). Additional Job Requirements for higher level (list). Training/Certifications. Education/Experience (lower and higher). Could combine.
Qualifications: Desired Qualifications list.
Benefits: list of benefits.
Pay: salary ranges for each level.
Schedule: Not explicit; we have "Flexible schedules and time off" under benefits; we could mention schedule in Benefits.
Other info: Note to Applicants (citizenship restrictions), Work Location, Position commitment, Clearance, Directive, Drug test, Equal Opportunity. These could go under a section like "Additional Information" or "Eligibility & Requirements". But we only have predefined headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put some of those under Requirements (e.g., citizenship restrictions, clearance, drug test) as part of Requirements. Or we could create a separate section not in list? The instruction says use those headings for section headings; but we can also add other headings? It says: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. But we should prefer those headings. However we can also add other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. We can fit extra info into Requirements or About the role.
