Engineering$90k–$129k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a paragraph about organization, transition, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have Salary: $89,552.00 - $128,730.99 Commensurate with Experience. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary range, so we can include Pay section. Benefits: there is a Benefits paragraph: "The City of Charlotte provides a comprehensive benefits package to eligible employees. Click here to learn more..." That's generic but it's stating benefits exist. It's not specific details, but it's still stating benefits. However instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits section: they say "The City of Charlotte provides a comprehensive benefits package..." That's not specific but it's stating benefits exist. Might be considered filler? It's not a placeholder like "varies". It's a statement that benefits are provided. I'd include Benefits section with that paragraph. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. We need sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (Major Duties And Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualification), Skills (Knowledge, Skills & Abilities), Benefits, Pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting. We need to convert lists to
  • . Identify bullet-like content: The posting includes paragraphs with semicolons etc. We need to detect lists. For example, "Major Duties And Responsibilities" includes sentences separated by periods but not bullet list. However we can treat each sentence as a list item? The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The posting may not have explicit bullet list but we can still treat each duty as list item if they are separated by line breaks? In the text, duties are in a paragraph separated by periods. Not explicit list. Might be safer to keep as

      for prose unless there are clear bullet points. However there are sections like "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities" which is a list of skills separated by commas and periods. Not explicit list. But we can still wrap each item in

    • if we split by semicolons? Might be overkill. The instruction: "Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". If the posting does not have explicit list formatting, we could still treat each sentence as a list item? Might be considered inventing structure. Safer to keep as

        for prose unless there are clear line breaks or bullet symbols. The posting does not have bullet symbols. So we will use

        for those sections. But we need to include all substantive information. We'll embed the paragraphs. We need to exclude boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we must remove the "How To Apply" section, EEO statement, etc. Also remove "Conditions of Employment" maybe? That's substantive? It's about background check, drug screening, etc. That is substantive info about employment conditions. Should we keep? It's not explicitly listed as a section heading but it's important. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that info, maybe under a section like "Conditions of Employment" but we only have allowed headings list; we could use "Requirements" or "Qualifications"? But conditions of employment is not exactly requirements. Could be part of "Requirements". However we could create a section with heading "Conditions of Employment" but not in allowed list; but instruction says use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive. So we could use other headings if needed. But better to stick to those. Conditions of employment could go under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". However it's more about hiring process. Might be okay to put under "Requirements". But we already have Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualification. Could add a subsection. Simplify: We'll include sections: About the role (intro paragraph about organization and transition), Responsibilities (Major Duties And Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualification), Skills (Knowledge, Skills & Abilities), Benefits, Pay. We'll also include a short paragraph for "Conditions of Employment" maybe under Requirements as additional list. We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. Let's extract content. First paragraph after "Thank you for your interest..." up to "We’re excited about what’s ahead and appreciate your interest in being part of it." That's about organization. We'll put that in About the role. Then "Summary The Senior Engineer position..." That's also about role. Could merge. We'll combine. Now Responsibilities: "Major Duties And Responsibilities Prepare and direct the preparation of plans, specifications, reports, cost estimates, request for proposals and bid documents for contract awards.Provide technical assistance in the review of development plans.Prepare a variety of technical papers, reports, correspondence, and other documents and materials required for assigned projects.Represent the project at technical meetings and before local citizens in public meetings and hearings.As part of your responsibility to support the CATS Safety Culture, report safety concerns and issues through the various methods established by CATS as outlined in the Agency Safety Plan." We'll make each sentence a
      • . Now Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: "Requires a BS/BA in Civil Engineering or related field; minimum five (5) years of progressively responsible experience.Registered North Carolina Professional Engineer or PE registration in another state with the ability to receive reciprocity within six (6) months." We'll make each as
      • . Also Conditions of Employment: background check, drug screening, etc. We'll include as
      • under Requirements maybe. Qualifications: Preferred Qualification: "Master's degree Ten years of experience managing federal transportation related projects" We'll make each as
      • . Skills: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: list items: "Skills to interpret technical plans and specifications.Ability to use project controls software and analyze schedules.Strong written and oral communication skills, including the ability to maintain good working relationships with consultants, contractors, management, coworkers, and the public, and represent CATS in a professional manner.Proficiency with computer applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Adobe, and Bluebeam, and with mobile devices such as tablet computers.Ability to successfully perform project management tasks including the proactive management during project initiation, planning, implementation, and closeout.Ability to apply conflict resolution techniques.Knowledge of Federal Transit Administration standards and processes." We'll split by periods? Actually each item ends with a period except some have commas. We'll split by sentences. Now Benefits: "The City of Charlotte provides a comprehensive benefits package to eligible employees. Click here to learn more about the City of Charlotte’s benefits. The City of Charlotte is a drug and alcohol-free workplace." We'll keep as

        maybe. Pay: "Salary: $89,552.00 - $128,730.99 Commensurate with Experience" We'll put as

        . Now ensure we don't include filler like "Commensurate with Experience" is okay as it's actual phrase. Now produce HTML fragment. We'll wrap each section in

        heading then content. For lists:
        • ...
        . For prose:

        ...

        . Make sure not to include extra whitespace. Let's craft. About the role: combine paragraphs. Paragraph1: "Thank you for your interest in joining the team that keeps Charlotte moving, at a very exciting time for our organization. At the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS), we’re committed to delivering safe, reliable, and innovative transit services for our growing community, and we value employees who bring professionalism, passion, and a commitment to public service. This position is currently employed by CATS, a department of the City of Charlotte. With the passage of the PAVE Act and last year’s sales tax referendum, CATS is preparing to transition from a City department to the newly created Metropolitan Public Transit Authority (MPTA). The MPTA was established to strengthen regional transit governance, improve accountability, and support long‑term investment in mobility. It’s an important and exciting step forward for transit in our region. Employees hired into this role will remain City employees through December 31, 2026, and will transition to MPTA employment on January 1, 2027. Benefits and compensation will follow City provisions through 2026 and shift to MPTA provisions in 2027, with clear information shared in advance. Your core duties, reporting structure, and daily responsibilities will remain consistent, with no break in service. If anything delays the transition, your City employment, including compensation and benefits, will remain in place until the move to the MPTA occurs. The creation of the MPTA positions us for a more modern, sustainable, and efficient transit system, one that can better support the Charlotte region for decades to come. We’re excited about what’s ahead and appreciate your interest in being part of it." Paragraph2: "Summary The Senior Engineer position with CATS gives individuals the opportunity to solve problems and to design projects that really matter, often coming up with solutions that are original and innovative. Working as part of an engineering team, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with people both inside and outside your chosen field.
