Pursuit Specialist 1
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/req numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short
or drop. We need to extract content: Date, Location, Company, etc. Probably include a short paragraph with metadata like Date, Location, Company. Then sections: About the role (maybe from "The Opportunity" paragraph). Responsibilities (list from "Key Responsibilities"). Requirements (maybe from "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications"? Actually "Qualifications" section could contain both minimum and preferred. But we have separate headings: Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly. We have "Why Black & Veatch?" maybe part of About the role? Could be "About the role" includes description of role and why join. We'll create About the role section with paragraphs from "The Opportunity", "The Team", "Why You'll Enjoy This Role". Also maybe "Why Black & Veatch?" could be part of About the role. Responsibilities: list from "Key Responsibilities". Use
- .
Requirements: maybe "Minimum Qualifications" and "All applicants must be able to complete pre-employment onboarding requirements". That's requirements.
Qualifications: maybe "Preferred Qualifications" and "Bachelor's Degree in marketing, communication, or a related field." plus maybe "Bachelor's Degree or Equivalent Experience." Actually that's minimum. But we already used minimum in Requirements. Could shift: Requirements = minimum qualifications + pre-employment. Qualifications = preferred qualifications + maybe "Bachelor's Degree or Equivalent Experience." But to avoid duplication, we can put minimum in Requirements, preferred in Qualifications.
Skills: maybe list skills like "Coordinate moderately complex pursuits", "Develop pursuit plan", etc. But those are responsibilities. Could extract skill-based items: "Ability to navigate and understand the current CRM platform", "Lead interdivisional teams", "Direct junior-level Pursuit Coordinators", "Submit proposals", "Guide teams", "Create and format proposal documents using Adobe InDesign", "Coordinate graphic development", "Research, gather, and develop proposal content", "Manage pursuit schedules", "Review and edit proposals", "Support multiple concurrent proposals", "Coordinate interview presentations", "Facilitate proposal meetings". Those could be skills. But we already have responsibilities list; maybe better to put skill-based items under Skills. However instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have multiple lists. We need Benefits: posting mentions benefits in later paragraph: "Our comprehensive benefits portfolio... health care benefits including medical, dental and vision insurances along with disability and a robust wellness program. flexible work schedules, paid vacation and holiday time, sick time, and dependent sick time. company-matched 401k plan, adoption reimbursement, tuition reimbursement, vendor discounts, employment referral program, AD&D insurance, pre-taxed accounts, voluntary legal plan and the B&V Credit Union. performance-based bonus program. 100 percent ESOP-owned company." So we can create Benefits section with list. Pay: posting includes "Salary Plan PUR: Pursuits Job Grade 015". That's pay info. So we can include Pay section with that line. Schedule: posting mentions "Hybrid or flexible work options may be offered after the first 90 days of employment based upon manager discretion, job performance and work assignments." That's schedule info. So Schedule section. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, accommodation request, etc. Remove those. We must not include duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all meaningful content from posting.

Also remove "Black & Veatch is committed to being an employer of choice..." maybe keep benefits description but not the fluff?
