We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Note: Job Description is subject to change..."? That's maybe boilerplate? It's a note about job description subject to change; could be considered boilerplate but it's part of description. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The note about job description subject to change is not explicitly listed, but could be considered boilerplate? It's a generic disclaimer; but not EEO. Might keep? Safer to keep if it's substantive? It's a note that description may change; not substantive about role. Might drop as it's not essential. Also "Physical Requirements" etc. That's substantive; we need to include maybe under Requirements or Qualifications? The headings list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Physical Requirements could go under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll decide.
We need to parse the job posting.

That's about the role. So we can have

Job Summary: "Proposal managers are key members of our pursuit teams, working as dedicated resources within each operating group (Transportation, Industrial, Building, and Renewables) to support Sundt's efforts to win work. Leading and directing the creation of best-in-class proposals and presentations, proposal managers use their expertise to craft pursuit-specific win strategies and serve as subject matter experts, providing leadership to proposal specialists. This person will be a skilled manager with proven leadership ability and significant industry experience."
That's about the role. So we can have About the role
with that paragraph.
Key Responsibilities: list bullet points. We'll output Responsibilities
with - each.
Minimum Job Requirements: list bullet points. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The headings list includes Requirements and Qualifications separate. We need to decide where to put each. Usually Requirements = minimum job requirements; Qualifications = education, certifications, etc. But we have both. Let's map:
Minimum Job Requirements:
- 10+ years of marketing/proposal experience in A/E/C industry.
- Additional professional or technical certifications.
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator; Cosential (or other CRM database); and Microsoft Office Suite programs.
- Bachelor of marketing, English, communications, journalism, or similar; advanced degree preferred.
- Must be a skilled writer and able to effectively communicate highly technical concepts, terms and processes to varying audiences.
- Must have demonstrated ability to independently manage multiple concurrent projects and appropriately prioritize tasks.
These could be split: Requirements (experience, certifications, skills) and Qualifications (education). But we also have Skills heading. Could put skills under Skills heading: Advanced proficiency in Adobe..., etc. Also "Must be a skilled writer..." is a skill. Also "ability to manage multiple projects" is skill.
We need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills as needed.
Let's think: The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should not create many sections with little content. We have Responsibilities (substantial). Then we could have Requirements (includes experience, certifications, ability to manage projects, writing skill). Qualifications (education). Skills (technical proficiencies). Benefits (we have benefit list). Pay and Schedule: not mentioned explicitly; there is "Market Competitive Salary (paid weekly)" under Benefit list. That's pay info. So we can include Pay section with that. Schedule: not mentioned; maybe not include.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
We must not include Schedule if no info.
Now we need to extract benefit list: "Benefit list: Market Competitive Salary (paid weekly)Bonus Eligibility based on company, group, and individual performanceEmployee Stock Ownership Plan & 401KIndustry Leading Health Coverage Starting Your First DayFlexible Time Off (FTO)Medical, Health Savings, and Wellness creditsFlexible Spending AccountsEmployee Assistance ProgramWorkplace Wellness ProgramsMental Health ProgramLife and Disability InsuranceEmployee-Owner PerksEducational AssistanceSundt Foundation - Charitable Employee-Owner's program"
We need to format as
- each benefit. The list is concatenated without punctuation; we need to split logically. We'll separate by obvious boundaries: Market Competitive Salary (paid weekly); Bonus Eligibility based on company, group, and individual performance; Employee Stock Ownership Plan & 401K; Industry Leading Health Coverage Starting Your First Day; Flexible Time Off (FTO); Medical, Health Savings, and Wellness credits; Flexible Spending Accounts; Employee Assistance Program; Workplace Wellness Programs; Mental Health Program; Life and Disability Insurance; Employee-Owner Perks; Educational Assistance; Sundt Foundation - Charitable Employee-Owner's program.
We'll output each as
- .
Now About Us paragraph: "As a 100% employee-owned contractor, when you work at Sundt, you’re not just hiring on at a company, you’re joining a culture. Because everyone at Sundt is part owner, you’ll join a team of people who are deeply invested in their work. From apprentices to managers, we’re passionate about the details and deliberate in everything we do. At Sundt we focus on building long-term prosperity for our clients, communities and employee-owners. We offer competitive pay, industry-leading benefits including a 401k and employee stock ownership plan, incentive programs for craft and administrative employees as well as training that focuses on your personal and professional growth. We’re driven by skill, grit and purpose. Join us as we strive to be the most skilled builder in America."
This is about company; could be part of About the role? But we already have About the role for job summary. Could add another section "About Us" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are only those listed. So we should incorporate relevant info into existing sections, maybe About the role can include company culture? But the instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can only use those headings. So we must not add About Us heading. We could incorporate the About Us paragraph into About the role section as additional prose. That's okay.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: Equal Opportunity Employer Statement, Notice to External Search Firms, etc. Also remove "Note: Jobs with the Safety-Sensitive designation..." etc. Also remove "Physical Requirements" maybe we need to include? It's substantive; but we don't have a heading for Physical Requirements. Could we put under Requirements? Possibly. But we already have Requirements section; we could add physical requirements as list items under Requirements. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Adding physical requirements under Requirements is fine.
But we must check if we have any content for Physical Requirements: list of items. We'll include them as
- under Requirements.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's gather all substantive content:
- Job Summary / About the role: paragraphs from Job Summary and maybe About Us.
- Responsibilities: bullet list from Key Responsibilities.
- Requirements: includes Minimum Job Requirements (experience, certifications, ability to manage projects, writing skill) plus Physical Requirements.
- Qualifications: education (Bachelor..., advanced degree preferred). Also maybe "Additional professional or technical certifications" could be under Qualifications but we already have certifications under Requirements; we could move to Qualifications. Let's decide: Requirements = experience and maybe physical; Qualifications = education and certifications; Skills = technical proficiencies (Adobe, Cosential, MS Office) and writing skill, project management ability.
But we have overlapping. Let's think: The Minimum Job Requirements list includes both experience, certifications, education, skills. To avoid thin sections, we could combine all into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills as needed but ensure each has substantive content.
Option:
- Requirements: experience (10+ years), ability to manage multiple projects, skilled writer.
- Qualifications: education (Bachelor..., advanced degree preferred), additional professional or technical certifications.
- Skills: Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Cosential, Microsoft Office Suite.
Physical Requirements: could be under Requirements as well.
Benefits: list.
Pay: Market Competitive Salary (paid weekly).
Now we need to ensure we don't miss any content: "Additional professional or technical certifications." appears in Minimum Job Requirements; we placed under Qualifications.
"Bachelor of marketing, English, communications, journalism, or similar; advanced degree preferred." under Qualifications.
"Must be a skilled writer and able to effectively communicate highly technical concepts, terms and processes to varying audiences." under Requirements (or Skills). We'll put under Requirements as a skill but could also be Skills. Let's put under Requirements.
"Must have demonstrated ability to independently manage multiple concurrent projects and appropriately prioritize tasks." under Requirements.
Now "Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator; Cosential (or other CRM database); and Microsoft Office Suite programs." under Skills.
Now Physical Requirements list: we will put under Requirements as a sublist? Could be separate
but still under Requirements heading.
Now Benefits: we have list.
Now Pay: "Market Competitive Salary (paid weekly)" appears also in Benefits list; we might duplicate. But we need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state "Market Competitive Salary (paid weekly)" under Benefit list. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. However we already have it in Benefits list; duplication is okay? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is okay if it's in original; but we might want to avoid repeating same sentence in two sections. However it's okay to keep both as they appear. But we could keep only in Benefits and not Pay because Pay is covered there. But the instruction says include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state salary info; we could put it in Pay section. If we also keep it in Benefits, that's duplication but not invented. Might be okay but could be considered redundant. I'd prefer to not duplicate; we can put salary info in Pay section and remove from Benefits list (or keep but it's okay). To preserve all info, we need to keep the salary info somewhere; if we put it only in Pay, we still preserve it. The Benefits list originally includes that line; if we remove it from Benefits, we are omitting that detail from Benefits section, but we still have it in Pay. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information" - as long as it's preserved somewhere, it's fine. So we can move salary to Pay and not duplicate.
Thus Benefits list will exclude the salary line.
Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Equal Opportunity Employer Statement", "Notice to External Search Firms", "Safety Level Non-Safety Sensitive", etc.
Also remove "Note: Job Description is subject to change at any time and may include other duties as assigned." That's generic; we can drop.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only.
Let's craft:
