We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About The Opportunity" and then description. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. We have: - About The Opportunity: description of role, team, etc. This can be "About the role". We'll put

About the role

then

with that content. - Responsibilities: The "What you will accomplish" bullet list. We'll create

Responsibilities

then
  • each bullet. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications section. Could be "Requirements". We'll include

    Requirements

    then
    • each bullet. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications section. Could be "Qualifications". We'll include

      Qualifications

      then
      • each bullet. - Skills: Not explicitly separate; but we could combine skills within responsibilities or qualifications. However we need to include a Skills section only if posting has real specific content for it. The posting mentions skills like identification of species, attention to detail, organizational skills, willingness to learn, effective communication, time management, etc. Those are in the first paragraph under About The Opportunity. Could be considered Skills. But we already have About the role covering that. Might be redundant. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could omit Skills if covered elsewhere. But we need to decide. - Benefits: The posting mentions benefits: "We offer a supportive, team-oriented work environment and competitive wages and benefits, including an 100% employee stock ownership plan (retirement)." Also mentions medical, dental, vision, employee assistance, wellness, life and disability plans, 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, etc. Also mentions Career Landscape initiative, professional conference attendance, internal/external training, education reimbursement, bonuses for publications. So we have benefits content. So we should include Benefits section. - Pay: The posting includes salary ranges: "$68,140/year to $91,651/year for the Associate Project Wetland Scientist and $$74,954/year - $96,532.80/year for a Project Wetland Scientist." Also mentions performance bonuses. So we have Pay section. - Schedule: The posting mentions "full-time position", "moderate travel will be required for the position, with field work sometimes reaching 50% of your time (seasonally)". Also mentions ability to travel, hike, etc. Not exactly schedule like hours, but we have full-time. Could include Schedule section with full-time and travel expectations. However the instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state full-time and travel expectations, so we can include Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodation contact, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific numbers, lists, etc. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content precisely. First, "About The Opportunity" paragraph: "About The Opportunity SWCA's growing Minneapolis team seeks an Project Level Wetland Scientist to join our natural resources team. We are expanding our team and looking for dynamic individuals who are following their passion for delivering the highest-quality project work. If you thrive in the pursuit of ensuring excellence in environmental consulting services, this is a great opportunity for you! The successful candidate will possess a broad range of skills including identification of Midwestern and Northern Plains botanical and wildlife species, attention to detail, organizational skills, willingness to learn, effective communication and time management skills.

The application process will remain open until we have received a robust pool of qualified candidates. Once we have identified suitable individuals, we may close the application process without prior notice. We appreciate the time and effort invested by all applicants and will carefully consider each submission." We need to remove application deadline boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Application deadline:" paragraph is application instructions; we should remove it. Also "We Will Consider Candidates At Both Role Levels" is not boilerplate; it's role levels info, which is substantive. Keep that. Thus About the role content: we keep everything except the application deadline paragraph. Let's rewrite as a paragraph. Now Responsibilities: "What you will accomplish" list: - Apply a broad range of environmental compliance experience to support regional renewable energy and transmission focused projects related to Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act, and other resource planning/permitting, and/or natural resource disciplines. - Work closely with a project team to complete biological resource management tasks. - Take initiative and resolve issues in an independent manner. - Identify and pursue new business opportunities. - Work closely with SWCA’s other resource scientists, planners, on natural and cultural resource projects throughout the company. - Complete technical writing assignments focused on the reporting and permitting of environmental compliance documents. - Support projects as a task lead and/or project manager depending on level of experience and career aspirations. - Use topographic maps, aerial photographs, GPS units, and other tools for the preparation and execution field studies. - In the field, oversee a crew or work independently while supporting a variety of data collection needs including wetland delineation, vegetative surveys, protected species and habitat surveys as well as construction compliance efforts. - Data processing, review, and analysis. - Take responsibility for team safety, develop safety plans (when applicable), and anticipate potential safety hazards. We'll put each as

Note: The bullet about moderate travel also appears later; we keep. Now Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications): - Ability to conduct a variety of natural resources studies including threatened/endangered species assessments, environmental assessments, and biological reports and evaluations documentation - Task or project management experience. - Ability to write technical reports and permit applications and subject matter expert review related to the Endangered Species Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, local municipal and county regulations, and other resource planning/permitting relevant in the Upper Midwest and Northern Plains. - Report writing may reach 65% of the position's required time commitment. - Completion of Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources Professional Wetland Delineator training course. - Minnesota DNR-certified surveyor qualifications. Now Benefits: Paragraph: "We offer a supportive, team-oriented work environment and competitive wages and benefits, including an 100% employee stock ownership plan (retirement). At SWCA, we support our team members in developing their careers to make them leaders in their industry. Our Career Landscape initiative is a process and guide designed to help develop chart rewarding career paths for employees at SWCA. We encourage professional conference attendance, internal and external professional development and training programs, education reimbursement, and bonuses for publications meeting certain criteria. All regular status employees are eligible to participate in SWCA medical, dental, vision, employee assistance, wellness, life and disability plans, and are eligible to participate in the SWCA 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust." Also earlier: "We live our core values: we collaborate as #OneSWCA; we are #AlwaysLearning, we #NeverSettle, and we #GiveBack. We are 100% employee-owned, and we build our success together. With offices across the United States, SWCA is one of the largest environmental compliance firms and ranks among Engineering News-Record’s Top 200 Environmental Firms." But those are more about company; still substantive. We'll include them in Benefits section. Now Pay: Paragraph: "In alignment with this commitment, SWCA posts good faith pay ranges in all its advertised job postings to promote pay equity and transparency. An employee in this Minneapolis, MN-office based position can expect a salary of $68,140/year to $91,651/year for the Associate Project Wetland Scientist and $$74,954/year - $96,532.80/year for a Project Wetland Scientist. Actual pay within this range may depend on experience, qualifications, geographic location, client requirements where applicable, and other factors permitted by law. Regular-status employees are also eligible for performance bonuses. Candidates are also encouraged to consider SWCA’s Total Rewards package, which includes a competitive benefits package (https://www.swca.com/careers/benefits-wellness/), forward-thinking workplace flexibility, outstanding corporate culture, award-winning career development, and more." We need to keep the salary ranges and performance bonuses. The link is maybe okay to keep as part of benefits but we can keep. Now Schedule: We have: "This is a full-time position supporting projects in Minnesota and the Dakotas (and surrounding areas)." Also "It is anticipated that moderate travel will be required for the position, with field work sometimes reaching 50% of your time (seasonally)" and "Ability to travel to a location, hike and conduct fieldwork for long hours, sometimes in inclement weather, while carrying equipment and supplies weighing up to 50 pounds is required." Also "Applicants must have valid driver’s license and be able to meet SWCA’s driver requirements." We can put Schedule section with full-time and travel expectations. Now we need to ensure we don't duplicate content across sections. For example, travel requirement appears in Requirements and also Schedule; we might keep it in Requirements (as ability to travel) and also mention in Schedule (moderate travel 50% time). That's okay but could be duplicate. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail.
