We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to parse the job posting. Key sections: - Vision/mission/values intro: maybe "About the role" or "About MBTA". Could be "About the role" heading. - Job Summary: could be part of About the role. - Duties & Responsibilities: Responsibilities heading. - Minimum Requirements & Qualifications: could be Requirements and Qualifications. - Substitutions: part of qualifications. - Preferred Experience & Skills: Skills heading. - Job Conditions: maybe not a standard heading; could be part of Requirements or Skills? It includes many conditions like ability to commute, etc. Could be placed under Requirements or Qualifications. But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Job Conditions not listed; we could incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications. Since we must not create sections without real content, we could put under Requirements (maybe as part of Requirements). Or we could create a "Job Conditions" heading but not in allowed list; we must use only those headings. So we need to map content to allowed headings. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include. - About the role: include mission, vision, values, job summary. - Responsibilities: duties & responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe minimum requirements & qualifications (including substitutions). Could also include job conditions like ability to commute, etc. But we have Qualifications separate; maybe Requirements = minimum requirements, Qualifications = preferred experience & skills? However they also have "Preferred Experience & Skills" which could be Skills. Thus: - Requirements: Minimum Requirements & Qualifications (including substitutions). Could also include "Ability to effectively read, comprehend..." etc as part of Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe not needed separate if we already used Requirements for minimum. But we have both headings allowed; we could use Requirements for minimum, Qualifications for preferred? But they also have "Preferred Experience & Skills" which could be Skills. Let's assign: - Requirements: Minimum Requirements & Qualifications (including substitutions) and Job Conditions (like ability to commute, etc.) - Qualifications: maybe not needed; but we could put "Preferred Experience & Skills" under Skills. - Skills: Preferred Experience & Skills. - Benefits: none mentioned (except maybe intern/co-op benefits but that's a separate section for interns; not relevant). So we should not create Benefits section. - Pay: none mentioned. - Schedule: none mentioned (though job conditions mention ability to work all shifts, but not specific schedule). We could maybe include Schedule if they mention shift work? The posting says "Ability to work all shifts and / or locations assigned, directed, or necessary for this position, including (for some transit / operations roles) up to twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week as necessary..." That's about schedule flexibility. Could be considered schedule info. But we should only create Schedule section if posting actually states them. It does mention ability to work all shifts, up to 24/7 as necessary. That is schedule-related. So we could include a Schedule section with that content. - Benefits: none. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Schedule. We must not include empty sections. Now we need to extract content. About the role: include mission, vision, values, job summary. From text: "At the MBTA, we envision a thriving region enabled by a best-in-class transit system. Our mission is to serve the public by providing safe, reliable, and accessible transportation. MBTA’s core values are built around safety, service, equity, sustainability, culture, and accessibility, and each employee that works for the MBTA performs their roles based on our vision, mission, and values. This includes attendance, participation, and contribution in local safety committee meetings as needed. Job Summary The Project Manager of Rail Operations will manage the development of MBTA Rail Operations capital projects from project inception (planning) through the design phase (conceptual, preliminary, and final) and the construction phase (including project close-out), with full responsibility for quality and for controlling the schedule and budget. The Project Manager will report to the Director of Railroad Capital Planning and Finance and will closely coordinate and collaborate regularly with other departments." We should keep that as prose under About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties & responsibilities. Need to convert to
  • . The duties are many sentences separated by periods. We'll extract each bullet. List: - Oversee and manage all Commuter Rail Operations projects within the MBTA’s Capital Investment Plan. - Manage capital project funding requests, amendments, and development of Project Charters for Commuter Rail Operations capital projects. - Develop and maintain project budgets, monitor cashflow projections and expenditures, and reconcile with monthly, quarterly, and annual goals established within the CIP. - Assist in monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting for all Commuter Rail Operations capital projects and projects, including mandated reporting to regulatory agencies, such as the FTA, FRA, etc. - Manage multiple consultant and construction contracts to ensure project requirements are fulfilled, and that project safety, contract cost, and schedule requirements are met. - Manage projects in accordance with MBTA standards, manuals, policies, and procedures. - Assist in the development of project scopes, budgets, and schedules, and assist in the procurement of consultants and contractors, as required. - Negotiate project assignments, task orders, amendments, change orders, and use of contingency, and make recommendations for approval. - Review monthly payment and schedule submissions from consultants and contractors. - Coordinate and participate in stakeholder review meetings, value engineering sessions, constructability reviews, and risk workshops. - Coordinate project tasks with internal Railroad Operations staff, consultants, contractors, and other MBTA departments, including Contract Administration, Procurement and Logistics, among others. - Coordinate project activities with outside agencies, abutters, utility companies, community groups, and other third parties affected by the project, as required. - Ensure that all work has been completed, and necessary approvals have been obtained, before advertising projects for construction, including budget approval, environmental permits and approvals, real estate actions and approvals, force accounts, other agency and municipal agreements, and other third-party agreements. - Manage construction projects from advertisement to contract closeout to ensure the project is completed on time and within budget. - Analyze all contract proposals or bids and provide recommendations for management approval. - Organize and prioritize workload, be proactive in identifying project needs/requirements. - Prepare project-related correspondence, reports, charts, and presentations. - Prepare and make project presentations to elected officials, community groups, and others. - Work independently in addressing complex tasks in a time-sensitive environment. - Uphold the rights and interests of the Authority while building and maintaining an effective relationship with employees. - Assist in the management of a workforce by ensuring the fair and consistent application and strict adherence to the rules, regulations, collective bargaining agreements, and policies of the Authority, including the EEO, Anti-Discrimination, Anti-Harassment, and Anti-Retaliation policies. - Perform all other duties and projects that may be assigned. - Additional responsibilities may include a focus on one or more departments or locations. See applicable addendum for department or location-specific functions. We should keep all. Now Requirements: Minimum Requirements & Qualifications plus Job Conditions.

An associate degree from an accredited institution with an additional three (3) years of directly related experience substitutes for the bachelor’s degree requirement. A master’s degree in a related subject substitutes for two (2) years of general experience.

Job Conditions (the long paragraph after "Job Conditions"): "Ability to effectively read, comprehend, communicate, and respond to instructions, orders, signs, notices, inquiries, etc. in English. Be at least eighteen (18) years of age, except if participating in an approved high school internship / co-op program.

Additionally, interns / co-ops must have valid work authorization and U.S. Social Security Number prior to starting pre-employment screenings / pre-boarding, working in their positions, and throughout the duration of their program." We need to decide where to put these. Since we have Requirements and Qualifications headings, we could put Minimum Requirements & Qualifications under Requirements, and Job Conditions also under Requirements (or maybe under Qualifications). But we also have Skills heading for Preferred Experience & Skills. Thus: - Requirements: Minimum Requirements & Qualifications (including substitutions) + Job Conditions (maybe as part of Requirements). Could split but we can combine. - Skills: Preferred Experience & Skills. Now Preferred Experience & Skills text: "A Master’s Degree in Engineering, Operations, Planning, Business, or a related field, from an accredited institution. Five (5) years of experience in project management. Previous public sector experience, particularly with the MBTA, MassDOT, FTA, FRA, or a transit agency." We'll put under Skills as list. Now Schedule: from Job Conditions we have "Ability to work all shifts and / or locations assigned, directed, or necessary for this position, including (for some transit / operations roles) up to twenty-four (24) hours per
