for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay: they say "Individual pay is determined based on several factors such as work location, education, experience, and unique skills." That's not a specific number; it's vague. Should we include Pay section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Pay, they state that pay is determined based on factors, but not a specific range. Is that considered stating them? It's still stating something about pay, albeit not a number. The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state something about pay (determined based on factors). So we could include a Pay section with that sentence. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay. Schedule: they mention hybrid approach, minimum three days per week in office. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: they list benefits. So include Benefits. Now we need to parse content. We need sections: About the role (intro description), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe education/experience?), Qualifications (maybe certifications?), Skills (maybe communication, teamwork, etc). But we must not duplicate. Let's decide. The posting includes: - Intro paragraph about company and vision. - Then description of role: "You will join a team... Alongside the team, you will be assigned to a variety of projects... With guidance... your responsibilities will include, but may not be limited to:" then list of responsibilities. - Then "We are looking for full or part-time candidates with a genuine passion to create sustainable social outcomes for our communities and a desire to strive for excellence. If this describes you, apply today to launch your career at Mott MacDonald!" That's more motivational. - Then "To be considered for this 2026 position, you’ll need:" then list of qualifications/requirements: degree, experience, problem solving, communication skills, written communication, teamwork, demonstrable interest, driver's license, drug screening, physical ability, ability to operate 4x4, willingness to train for STI SP001 AST inspection certification, MSHA certification, CESSWI/CPESC certifications or permitting experience are a plus. - Then "Benefits & Reward" section: employee stake, performance bonuses, comprehensive benefit package includes 401k, medical, dental, vision, short/long term disability, paid holidays, PTO, parental leave, company paid life insurance. Also "Individual pay is determined based on several factors such as work location, education, experience, and unique skills." - Then "Collaboration at Our Core": hybrid approach, in-office culture, minimum three days per week in office. - Then EEO boilerplate etc to remove. - Then location(s), contract type, work pattern, market, discipline, job ref, recruiter contact: we should drop minor metadata (Job ID, requisition numbers) but location maybe we could keep? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include location info in a short paragraph maybe under About the role? But they said preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Location is substantive. Could include a short
with locations. However they said we should not create sections for minor metadata; we can fold into a short
. Probably best to add a paragraph after About the role that lists locations. But we must not repeat job title as heading. No job title given explicitly; we can ignore. Now decide sections: - About the role: include introductory paragraphs about company vision, role description, maybe also location paragraph. - Responsibilities: the list after "your responsibilities will include, but may not be limited to:" (GPS navigation..., etc). Use
- . - Requirements: maybe the list after "To be considered for this 2026 position, you’ll need:" includes degree, experience, problem solving, communication skills, etc. Could be considered Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe certifications and plus items (STI, MSHA, CESSWI/CPESC). Could be Qualifications. - Skills: maybe communication, teamwork, problem solving, technical written communication, etc. But we already covered some in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could combine. Given instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we just have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes education, experience, skills, certifications), Benefits, Schedule. Pay could be included but maybe we can incorporate pay note into Requirements or Benefits? It says Individual pay determined based on factors... Could be a short paragraph under Benefits or separate Pay section. Since they said only create Pay if posting actually states them; they do state something about pay, albeit vague. I'd include a Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: hybrid approach, minimum three days per week in office. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not include Qualifications or Skills separately if we fold into Requirements. Now we need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we don't lose any details. Let's extract content. About the role: combine introductory paragraphs: "At Mott MacDonald, we trust our brilliant people to do brilliant things in engineering, management, and development services, supporting multisector project work in over 150 countries. As one of the largest employee-owned companies in the world, we pride ourselves on our ability to deliver exceptional outcomes through our network of 20,000+ talented consultants.

With guidance from a professional engineer and our global practice network, your responsibilities will include, but may not be limited to:" But note that the responsibilities list starts after that sentence; we should separate responsibilities list into its own section. So About the role ends before the responsibilities list. Thus About the role includes everything up to "your responsibilities will include, but may not be limited to:" but not the list itself. We also need to include location info: "Location(s): Morgantown, WV, US Pittsburgh, PA, US". Could add a short paragraph after About the role. Now Responsibilities list: - GPS navigation to remote project sites - Regularly attend site inspections, investigations, and monitoring - Surface water flow measurements and groundwater sampling using approved methodologies - Actively participating in project, client and team meetings - Reviewing, preparing, and modifying designs - Analyzing reports, specifications, and studies - Undertaking a ‘digital by default’ approach in deliverables - Actively participating in our Early Careers Professionals Network - Supporting our ‘Purpose’ in everything you do Make each as

Note some items are "considered as an asset" or "are a plus". We'll keep them.

- At Mott MacDonald, our employees have a stake and a voice in our business, providing them with a direct connection to our success through our personal and group performance bonuses.
- We provide a comprehensive benefit package that includes 401k, medical, dental and vision insurance, short-term/long-term disability, paid holidays, PTO, parental leave, and company paid life insurance.
Also maybe note "Individual pay is determined based on several factors such as work location, education, experience, and unique skills." That's Pay.
Now Pay section: that sentence.

We'll include that.

We'll keep location maybe but drop contract type, work pattern, market, discipline, job ref, recruiter contact as minor metadata. We could incorporate location into a short paragraph.
Thus final HTML:
