We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About Us? Actually "About Us" is not a heading we need to include? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should include headings only if content exists. The posting includes "About Us" (company description) maybe we can treat as "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about company, not role. The instruction says we can use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should follow examples. Probably we should include "About the role" for overview? The posting has "Overview" section. Could map to "About the role". We'll include

About the role

with paragraph(s) from Overview and maybe About Us? The About Us is company description; could be part of About the role? Might be okay to include as part of overview. But we need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include company description somewhere. Could create a

About the company

but not in list. Safer to include as a paragraph under About the role? Might be okay but could be considered not exactly matching heading. However instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., not exclusive. So we can use other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. The company description could be placed under "About the role" as it's about the role context. We'll include it. We need sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay (Compensation). Also maybe Schedule? Not present. So omit Schedule. We must not include headings with filler text. Ensure we have substantive content. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, disclaimers, accessibility, application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information: include details about responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits, compensation. We need to format lists with
  • . For prose use

    . We need to not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Land/Row Representative" maybe also "Senior Land Representative". We'll not add heading for it. We need to include Pay section with salary range: USD $35,568.00 - USD $83,200.00 /Yr. Also mention compensation varies based on experience etc. That's substantive. So include Pay section. Benefits: list medical, dental, vision, disability insurance, 401k with traditional and Roth IRA options and company match, paid time off contingent on FT/PT and seniority, minimum 7 paid holidays per year, paid sick, family, disability leave per state law, jurisdiction specific benefits for international/Puerto Rico employees. Also mention discretionary bonus program. We need to include that as

Also there is a "Skills -- People:" section with bullet points: Able to interact with all levels of management and to work effectively with a wide range of constituencies in a diverse community, Commitment to customer satisfaction and the ability to work in team-oriented environment. Also there is a "Physical, Environmental, and Mental Requirements." section with many details. Should we treat that as part of Qualifications or Skills? It's more like requirements. Could include under Qualifications or maybe a separate "Requirements" section. The instruction includes Requirements as possible heading. We have Qualifications and Skills; we could also add Requirements for physical etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine physical requirements into Qualifications or Skills. Probably better to put under Qualifications as they are requirements. But we already have many qualifications; we can add a subsection? But we need to output only HTML; we can just include them as list items under Qualifications. We also have "Department/Location Specific Requirements and Comments." with ability to travel, work indoors/outdoors, field locations, governmental agencies, corporate entities, client offices, frequent interruptions. Could also be under Qualifications. We need to preserve all substantive info, so we must include those. We also have "Overview" paragraph: "TRC is seeking a Land/Row Representative in Texas. The Senior Land Representative, under the direction of the Lead Agent or ROW Supervisor, possesses an excellent working knowledge of all right of way disciplines: title, permitting, acquisition, documentation. This person should be capable of working independently, and very knowledgeable about property valuation, survey drawings and alignments sheets." We'll put that under About the role. Now we need to strip boilerplate: "About Us TRC, Member of WSP, is a global consulting environmental and engineering firm..." That's substantive about company; we keep. We need to remove "Benefits*:" asterisk and footnote text? We'll keep the benefits list but remove the footnote marker and the explanatory sentence about US employees etc? That is substantive though: "These benefits are applicable to US employees depending on their employment status (full time, part time, or temporary). TRC offers jurisdiction specific benefit packages for International and Puerto Rico employees." That's substantive; we should keep it as a paragraph after the list. Similarly compensation footnote: "Compensation will vary based upon experience, education, skill level, geographical location, and other compensable factors." and "Other Compensation: Employee may be eligible for participation in the Company’s annual Discretionary Bonus Program..." We'll keep that. We need to remove "Disclaimers", "Accessibility/Reasonable Accommodations", "To Address Your Request", "The complete job description and application are available on TRC’s career site.", "TRC accepts applications..." etc. Now craft HTML. Structure:
