Project Manager (Houston, TX) - Austin Commercial
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests those are typical but we can use others if appropriate? Probably we should stick to those headings; but we have "About Austin Commercial" which is about the company, not role. Could we use "About the role"? Not present. Could we use "About the company"? Not in list. Might be okay to use "About Austin Commercial" as heading though not in list but still a heading. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, just gives examples. So we can use appropriate headings.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, accessibility note, third-party inquiries, etc. Also remove "No Third-Party Inquiries Please" etc. Also remove "Accessibility Note". Also remove "Austin Commercial is an Equal Opportunity Employer." etc. Also remove "See the “Know Your Rights” poster". Also remove "To learn more about our employee-ownership structure, please go to ..."? That's part of benefits? It's a link; maybe keep as part of benefits? It's a link to ESOP info. Could keep as part of benefits description. But it's a URL; we can keep as plain text.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep responsibilities list (many bullet-like sentences). We need to convert to - . The responsibilities are a long paragraph with many sentences; we need to split into list items. The posting uses line breaks? It's a block of text with sentences. We'll need to parse into logical items. Could just wrap each sentence as
- . But need to preserve all info; splitting sentences is fine.
Similarly requirements: list of bullet-like statements.
Benefits & Compensation: paragraph.
About Austin Commercial: paragraph.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Let's extract content.

That's introductory fluff; we can keep as a short
maybe under a heading? Not a section heading; we could just include as opening paragraph before sections. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could include an intro paragraph without heading. That's okay.
Then "Responsibilities" heading.
Then the responsibilities block: many sentences.
We need to split into list items. Let's copy responsibilities text:

We need to split into sensible items. Could split at each sentence that ends with a period. However some sentences have semicolons; we could still treat as one item. Let's just split by periods that are followed by space and capital letter (or start of new sentence). We'll produce list items.
