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. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the job description.
Sections present:
- About the role: The first paragraph: "This Opportunity WSP is currently initiating a search for a detail-oriented and experienced Renewable Energy Systems Engineer to join our Power & Energy team in Boulder, CO. This person will support the design, modeling, and optimization of utility-scale, commercial, and microgrid energy projects." That's about the role.
- Responsibilities: The "Your Impact" bullet list (actually sentences). Many responsibilities listed.
- Requirements: The "Who You Are" section includes Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could split into Requirements (maybe required) and Qualifications (maybe preferred). But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what to put where.
We have Required Qualifications list (bulleted). Also Preferred Qualifications list.
We also have Skills: maybe list of tools etc.
We have Benefits: "WSP Benefits" paragraph.
Pay: "Compensation Expected Salary (Colorado only): $78,600 - $121,000" plus explanation.
Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned except "Ability to work schedules conducive to project-specific requirements that may extend beyond the typical workweek." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that sentence.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not repeat job title.
We must not include navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove the "About WSP" etc? The instructions: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About WSP" section seems like company description, not boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's about the company. Might be considered okay to keep? The instruction says remove boilerplate, but "About WSP" is not boilerplate per se, it's company description. However later there is repeated benefits paragraph again. Also there is EEO statement at end: "WSP USA (and all of its U.S. companies) is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." That's EEO boilerplate, must remove. Also "Notice To Third Party Agencies" etc is legal boilerplate, remove.
Thus we keep: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred), Skills (maybe tools), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Let's extract content.
About the role: "WSP is currently initiating a search for a detail-oriented and experienced Renewable Energy Systems Engineer to join our Power & Energy team in Boulder, CO. This person will support the design, modeling, and optimization of utility-scale, commercial, and microgrid energy projects."
We could combine into a paragraph.
Responsibilities: list items from "Your Impact". Let's extract each sentence as a bullet.
Your Impact sentences:
- Design and model solar PV systems for utility-scale, commercial, and microgrid applications using PVsyst, PVcase, PVFARM, and AutoCAD.
- Perform layout optimization, shading analysis, energy yield simulations, and loss assessments.
- Use NREL’s SAM for financial modeling, performance forecasting, and system cost-benefit analysis.
- Conduct site assessments, review topographical data, and analyze meteorological datasets (e.g., TMY, DNI, GHI).
- Design and optimize BESS layouts. Perform degradation calculations, create augmentation schedules to meet project requirements.
- Work closely with OEMs in the industry and ensure internal system design practices are adapting to new equipment ratings and design changes.

- Collaborate with project managers, EPC partners, and other stakeholders to ensure design quality and technical compliance.
- Work as an individual or as part of a cross-functional team of engineers, planners, scientific, and construction professionals to execute project work, assist with laying out installations, calculating costs and quantities of material/equipment/labor, and ensuring project work conforms with specifications, permit applications, compliance documentation, and regulatory and technical analysis memos.
- Assist with development and scoping of small- to medium-sized projects.
- Contribute to the preparation of technical reports and presentations that explain research and findings to improve, prevent, control, restore, or address design and/or electrical engineering issues or problems.

- Experience with dispatch modeling and revenue optimization of BESS systems in various ISO’s (ERCOT, CAISO, PJM etc)
- Exposure to operations and project controls experience for purposes of reporting.
- Ability to coordinate with agency regulators and understand requirements.
- Capable interpersonal and communication skills when interacting with others, expressing ideas effectively and professionally to an engineering and non-engineering audience.
- Effective self-leadership with attention to detail, results orientation, and managing multiple priorities in a dynamic work environment.
- Ability to learn new techniques, perform multiple tasks simultaneously, follow instruction, work independently, and comply with company policies.
- Critical thinking and problem-solving skills required to apply technical knowledge to reach conclusions from testing results, data collation, statistical analysis and arriving at the most effective, economical, and logical solution.
- Proven track record of upholding workplace safety and ability to abide by WSP’s health, safety and drug/alcohol and harassment policies.
- Ability to work schedules conducive to project-specific requirements that may extend beyond the typical workweek.
- Occasional travel may be required depending on project-specific requirements.
Preferred Qualifications list:
- Master’s Degree in Engineering
- Experience working on PV + storage systems or hybrid renewable microgrids.
- Familiarity with civil/site constraints, interconnection guidelines, and permitting processes.
- Exposure to Helioscope, PlantPredict, or similar modeling tools is a plus.
- Knowledge of optimization techniques, economic dispatch, or grid service monetization.
Skills: Could be list of tools: AutoCAD, Matlab, PVcase, PVsyst, PVFARM, Storlytics, NREL SAM. Also maybe mention ability to read drawings etc. But we already have many skill-like items in qualifications. However we can create a Skills section summarizing technical proficiencies: "Proficient in AutoCAD, Matlab, PVcase, PVsyst, PVFARM, Storlytics, and NREL’s System Advisor Model (SAM)." Also maybe "Experience with dispatch modeling and revenue optimization of BESS systems". But to avoid duplication, we could keep Skills as a concise list of tools.
Benefits: The WSP Benefits paragraph: "WSP provides a comprehensive suite of benefits focused on providing health and financial stability throughout the employee’s career. These benefits include coverage related to medical, dental, vision, disability, and life; retirement savings; paid sick leave; paid vacation (or other personal time); paid parental leave; and paid time off for purposes of bereavement, voting, and/or attendance at naturalization proceedings."
Also later there is repeated benefits paragraph; we can keep one.
Pay: "Compensation Expected Salary (Colorado only): $78,600 - $121,000" plus explanation: "WSP USA is providing the compensation range that the company in good faith believes it might pay and/or offer for this position within the state of Colorado, based on the successful applicant’s education, experience, knowledge, skills, and 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."
We should keep that as Pay section.
Schedule: The sentence about ability to work schedules conducive to project-specific requirements that may extend beyond typical workweek, occasional travel may be required. We'll put that.
