We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the job description.
Let's extract content:
- Intro: "This Opportunity WSP is currently initiating a search for a Protection Engineer - Senior Professional Electrical Engineer with a Protective Relaying emphasis for our Orlando, FL office. Candidates for our Augusta, ME; Freeport, ME; Syracuse, NY, Charlotte, NC; Overland Park, KS; and Richmond, VA offices will also be considered. The ability to work remotely from a mutually acceptable location will be considered (please note in the application questions where you prefer to be located)."
- Then description: "Be involved in projects with our Electrical Studies, SCADA, and Protection (ESSP) team and be a part of a growing organization that meets our clients' objectives and solves their challenges. WSP brings global expertise in power delivery, power generation, and program management—anchored by the acquisition of POWER Engineers, Inc.

The successful applicant will have a direct role in the design, engineering, and studies of protection systems for equipment on the bulk power system. This includes the protection of substations, transmission lines, generators, renewables, and distribution systems."
- Then "Your Impact" section: bullet list of areas: Protective Relaying: Symmetrical component analysis, protection philosophy development, relay settings, and integration with SCADA systems. Protection Analyses: Electrical model development, short circuit, time-current coordination, arc flash, NERC compliance, and event analysis Leadership: Lead teams on client projects to meet the scope, schedule, and budget. Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers. Data Acquisition: Support infrequent onsite site visits to collect data and able to discuss project specifics at appropriate technical level for clients. Industry Standards: Working knowledge or awareness of applicable industry practices for protection as outlined in IEEE, ANSI, or NERC PRC standards for design work. Organized: Flexibility to support a variety of project schedules to meet client needs and able to prioritize responsibilities effectively. Applicable software: AcSELerator Quickset, GEEnervista, ASPENOneliner, CAPE, SKM-PTW, ETAP, RSCAD Applicable hardware: SEL, GE, Siemens, RTDS Exercise responsible and ethical decision-making regarding company funds, resources, and conduct, and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and related policies and procedures. Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs.
- Then "Who You Are" with Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (ABET accredited). 5 to 7 years of relevant post education experience as an electrical engineer executing deliverables for Protective Relaying projects in power generation, transmission, and distribution at a utility or industrial scale. Engineer in Training Certification. Occasional travel may be required depending on project-specific requirements. Proven track record of upholding workplace safety and ability to abide by WSP’s health, safety and drug/alcohol and harassment policies.
- Preferred Qualifications: Master’s Degree in Engineering. Professional Engineering (PE) license or equivalent Preference will be given to applicants with a proven history of completing similar projects in a consulting environment. Preference may be given to engineers with commissioning and testing experience, or strong skills in protecting equipment at high voltages (69kV and higher). Preference is also given to applicants with experience mentoring others and a willingness to do so.
- Then "WSP Benefits": description of benefits.
- Then "Compensation Expected Salary (New York Only): $94,300k a yr- $155,500k a yr". Note: seems typo: $94,300k a yr? Probably $94,300 - $155,500 per year. We'll keep as given.
- Also note: "WSP USA is providing the compensation range..." etc. That's boilerplate but includes compensation details; we should keep the range but maybe drop the explanatory text? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep the compensation range statement. However we should remove boilerplate like "WSP USA is providing the compensation range that the company in good faith believes it might pay and offer for this position, based on the successful applicant’s education, experience, knowledge, skills, abilities in addition to internal equity and specific geographic location. WSP USA reserves the right to ultimately pay more or less than the posted range and offer additional benefits and other compensation, depending on circumstances not related to an applicant’s sex or other status protected by local, state, and/or federal law." That's likely boilerplate but still part of compensation description. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This compensation disclaimer might be considered legal boilerplate. It's about compensation, not EEO. Might be considered legal. Safer to keep only the range line? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The disclaimer is not substantive info about the job; it's legal. I'd remove it.
- Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's mention of occasional travel, flexibility to support a variety of project schedules. No explicit schedule (e.g., full-time, part-time). So we should not create a Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state schedule, so omit.
- Pay: we have compensation range. So include Pay section.
- Benefits: we have WSP Benefits description. Include Benefits.
- Skills: we have applicable software/hardware, industry standards, etc. Could be under Skills.
- Responsibilities: we have "Be involved in projects..." and "Your Impact" bullet list. Could be responsibilities.
- Requirements: Required Qualifications.
- Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications.
- About the role: introductory paragraph.
We need to use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for the title.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft sections:

From text: "Compensation Expected Salary (New York Only): $94,300k a yr- $155,500k a yr". Likely a typo: maybe $94,300 - $155,500 per year. We'll keep as given but maybe correct the extra k? The text says "$94,300k a yr- $155,500k a yr". That seems like $94,300,000? Probably a mistake. We should preserve exactly as written?
