We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. Key parts: - Intro: "Ready to put your environmental science education into action on real‑world projects that shape communities, infrastructure, and sustainability outcomes? Why This Role Matters? In this role, you won’t just support projects—you’ll contribute to environmental assessments and solutions that help clients meet regulatory requirements and responsibly move development forward. At ERM, your work directly supports better environmental and social outcomes on local and global projects." That's about the role. Could be "About the role" section. - "What Your Impact Is: As a Senior Consultant, Scientist, you’ll be part of a collaborative technical team supporting a wide range of environmental projects—from ecological field surveys to permitting and impact assessments. You’ll gain hands‑on experience, learn best practices from experienced consultants, and build technical and professional skills in an environment that values curiosity, teamwork, and continuous learning." That's also about role/impact. Could be part of About the role. - "What You’ll Bring: Required Bachelor’s degree in environmental science, natural science, environmental engineering, or a related discipline (minimum 3.0 GPA) 3+ years of relevant environmental experience, including internships or fieldwork Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience preparing or contributing to technical documentation Ability to manage multiple tasks, work independently, and adapt in a fast‑paced consulting environment Commitment to safety and quality standards Driver's License Required: This position requires a valid driver's license and/or the ability to operate a company vehicle due to the nature of job duties, which include frequent travel to various client locations across a large geographical area. This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship. Preferred Master’s degree in a related field Field experience conducting ecological or biological surveys Familiarity with NEPA processes or environmental permitting Experience working with or supporting regulatory agencies" That's requirements/qualifications/skills. - "Key Responsibilities: Support NEPA Environmental Assessments (EA) and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) for domestic and international development projects Assist with biological and ecological field surveys, data collection, and literature reviews Prepare and contribute to technical reports, environmental documentation, and client deliverables Support the preparation of multi‑media plans and permits, including coordination with agencies such as FERC, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and state agencies Provide technical support on land use planning, facility siting, risk assessment, and water resources management Collaborate with Project Managers, clients, regulators, subcontractors, and internal teams Deliver work within defined scope, schedule, budget, and quality expectations" That's responsibilities. - "For the Senior Consultant, Scientist position, the anticipated annual base pay is $80,100–$102,400 (USD). Actual pay will depend on factors such as education, experience, skills, location, performance, and business needs. In some cases, pay may fall outside this range. This role may be eligible for bonus pay subject to the sole discretion of ERM and its policies and procedures (casual and fixed term/flex force employees are not bonus eligible)." That's pay. - "We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including paid time off (vacation, sick, and floating holidays), parental leave, medical, dental, vision, life, disability, AD&D insurance, 401(k), and other applicable benefits to eligible employees." That's benefits. - "Who We Are: As the largest global pure play sustainability consultancy, we partner with the world’s leading organizations, creating innovative solutions to sustainability challenges and unlocking commercial opportunities that meet the needs of today while preserving opportunity for future generations. At ERM we know that creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment is an essential part of making our company a great place to build a career. We also see our diversity as a strength that helps us create better solutions for our clients. Our diverse team of world-class experts supports clients across the breadth of their organizations to operationalize sustainability, underpinned by our deep technical expertise in addressing their environmental, health, safety, risk and social issues. We call this capability our “boots to boardroom” approach for its comprehensive service model that allows ERM to develop strategic and technical solutions that advance objectives on the ground or at the executive level." That's about company, maybe not needed but could be "About the company". Not required heading list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put company description under About the role or maybe omit if not needed. The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can include those headings if content exists. We have content for About the role (intro + impact). Responsibilities (key responsibilities). Requirements (required qualifications). Qualifications (preferred). Skills (maybe combine with requirements). Benefits (benefits). Pay (pay). Schedule: not mentioned. So we omit Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, application instructions (like "Please submit your resume...") and legal. Also remove navigation/cookie etc. Not present. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific agencies, etc. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Thus for each section we need to decide if content is list or prose. About the role: prose (maybe two paragraphs). Use

    . Responsibilities: list of duties. Use

    • each bullet. Requirements: list of required qualifications. Use
      • . Qualifications: list of preferred qualifications. Use
        • . Skills: maybe combine with requirements? Could be separate but we have communication skills etc. Could be part of Requirements. But we can make a Skills section listing communication, task management, safety commitment, driver's license. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Requirements and Skills into one "Requirements" section that includes both required and preferred? But they said we can have Requirements, Qualifications, Skills sections. Might be okay to have separate. But we need to avoid filler. Ensure each heading has real content. Let's draft:

          About the role

          Ready to put your environmental science education into action on real‑world projects that shape communities, infrastructure, and sustainability outcomes? In this role, you won’t just support projects—you’ll contribute to environmental assessments and solutions that help clients meet regulatory requirements and responsibly move development forward. At ERM, your work directly supports better environmental and social outcomes on local and global projects. As a Senior Consultant, Scientist, you’ll be part of a collaborative technical team supporting a wide range of environmental projects—from ecological field surveys to permitting and impact assessments. You’ll gain hands‑on experience, learn best practices from experienced consultants, and build technical and professional skills in an environment that values curiosity, teamwork, and continuous learning.

          That covers intro and impact.

          Responsibilities

          • Support NEPA Environmental Assessments (EA) and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) for domestic and international development projects
          • Assist with biological and ecological field surveys, data collection, and literature reviews
          • Prepare and contribute to technical reports, environmental documentation, and client deliverables
          • Support the preparation of multi‑media plans and permits, including coordination with agencies such as FERC, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and state agencies
          • Provide technical support on land use planning, facility siting, risk assessment, and water resources management
          • Collaborate with Project Managers, clients, regulators, subcontractors, and internal teams
          • Deliver work within defined scope, schedule, budget, and quality expectations

          Requirements

          • Bachelor’s degree in environmental science, natural science, environmental engineering, or a related discipline (minimum 3.0 GPA)
          • 3+ years of relevant environmental experience, including internships or fieldwork
          • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience preparing or contributing to technical documentation
          • Ability to manage multiple tasks, work independently, and adapt in a fast‑paced consulting environment
          • Commitment to safety and quality standards
          • Valid driver's license and/or ability to operate a company vehicle (frequent travel to various client locations across a large geographical area)
          • Not eligible for immigration sponsorship

          Preferred Qualifications

          • Master’s degree in a related field
          • Field experience conducting ecological or biological surveys
          • Familiarity with NEPA processes or environmental permitting
          • Experience working with or supporting regulatory agencies
          We could also have a Skills section but we already included communication etc in Requirements. Could keep Skills separate but might be thin. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Skills into Requirements. But we already have communication etc there. So we can skip separate Skills.

          Benefits

          • Paid time off (vacation, sick, and floating holidays)
          • Parental leave
          • Medical, dental, vision, life, disability, AD&D insurance
          • 401(k)
          • Other applicable benefits to eligible employees

          Pay

          For the Senior Consultant, Scientist position, the anticipated annual base pay is $80,100–$102,400 (USD). Actual pay will depend on factors such as education, experience, skills, location, performance, and business needs. In some cases, pay may fall outside this range. This role may be eligible for bonus pay subject to the sole discretion of ERM and its policies and procedures (casual and fixed term/flex force employees are not bonus eligible).

          We should not include Schedule. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. We removed "Please submit your resume..." etc. Check that we preserved all substantive info: Did we miss "This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship." included in Requirements. Good. Did we miss "Driver's License Required: This position requires a valid driver's license and/or the ability to operate a company vehicle due to the nature of job duties, which include frequent travel to various client locations across a large geographical area." included. Did we miss "Preferred Master’s degree in a related field Field experience conducting ecological or biological surveys Familiarity with NEPA processes or environmental permitting Experience working with or supporting regulatory agencies" included. Did we miss "Who We Are" section? Not required; we can omit as not in heading list. It's substantive but not required heading; but instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we omit the "Who We Are" paragraph, we are losing substantive info. However the instruction also says "use

          for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for those sections. It doesn't say we cannot have other headings. But they gave examples; we could add an "About the company" heading if we want to preserve that info. However they said "use

          for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings
