We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section only when posting has real specific content for it; never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to extract content. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "Are you looking to join an organization that is growing and dynamic? What about a high-energy, collaborative environment that rewards hard work? J.S. Held is a global consulting firm that combines technical, scientific, financial, and strategic expertise to advise clients seeking to realize value and mitigate risk. Our professionals serve as trusted advisors to organizations facing high stakes matters demanding urgent attention, staunch integrity, proven experience, clear-cut analysis, and an understanding of both tangible and intangible assets. The firm provides a comprehensive suite of services, products, and data that enable clients to navigate complex, contentious, and often catastrophic situations." That's about the firm; could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading we can use for description of role/firm. We'll include that. Next: "Job Description J.S. Held is seeking a highly experienced and technically accomplished Senior Forensic Engineer to serve as a senior-level contributor within our Forensic Architecture & Engineering practice. This role is ideal for a licensed professional engineer with deep expertise in large loss forensic investigations, litigation support, and technical reporting. You will lead complex investigations, provide expert analysis and testimony, and serve as a trusted technical advisor to clients. This role offers significant visibility and influence across the practice, with opportunities to mentor or manage staff, contribute to thought leadership, and support business development initiatives with a goal of increases large loss and complex work throughout J.S Held’s FA&E practice. The individual is expected to bring over existing client relationships to support revenue generation and contribute to the continued growth of the practice." That's description; could be part of About the role. Then "Job Responsibilities:" with subheadings: Client Engagement & Business Development, Strategic Leadership & Team Development, Technical Oversight & Project Delivery. Under each bullet list. We need to output

    Responsibilities

    with
    • items. We need to preserve all substantive info. Then "Qualifications Required Qualifications" then list: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil, Structural, or related Engineering field (ABET-accredited). Active PE or SE license. Advanced engineering experience, including forensic consulting. Strong written and verbal communication skills, including expert report writing and courtroom testimony. Then "Preferred Qualifications": Experience working with insurance carriers, law firms, or construction litigation. Ability to work independently and manage multiple complex assignments. Then "Physical and Mental Job Qualifications": Must be able to travel to various project sites and conduct field investigations. Must be able to work in hot and cold environments. Must be able to carry and operate equipment relevant to rolePhysically able to climb, stand, walk, kneel, and crouch for extended periods of time Note there's a typo: "rolePhysically". We'll treat as separate sentences. Then "Additional Information Some of the Benefits We Have Include J.S. Held understands all our employees are people and sometimes life needs flexibility. We work to always provide an environment that best supports and suits our team’s needs. Our flexible work environment allows employees to work remotely, when neededFlexible Time Off policyMedical, Dental, and Vision Insurance401k MatchCommuter BenefitThe estimated salary range for this role is $90,000 - $105,000 USD. The salary range is based on a wide array of factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, training, location, scope of role, management responsibility, etc." We need to extract Benefits: flexible work environment, remote work when needed, Flexible Time Off policy, Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance, 401k Match, Commuter Benefit. Pay: estimated salary range $90,000 - $105,000 USD. Schedule: not mentioned explicitly. No schedule info. So we should NOT create Schedule section. We also have "Other Duties Please note this job description is not designed to over or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties, or responsibilities required of the employee for this job. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change at any time with or without notice." That's boilerplate; we should remove. Then privacy notice etc: remove. EEO etc: remove. Thus sections: About the role (maybe combine firm description and role overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe split Required and Preferred?), Benefits, Pay. We need to decide headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map: - About the role: firm description + role overview (first paragraphs and job description paragraph). - Responsibilities: list of duties under the three categories. - Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications and Physical and Mental Job Qualifications? The spec says we can use Requirements heading for list of duties/requirements/benefits. But we also have Qualifications heading for qualifications. We need to follow instruction: Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly Skills if we have skills list; we have communication skills etc. Could put under Qualifications or Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications heading. Physical and Mental Job Qualifications could go under Requirements (since they are requirements). Skills could be communication skills etc. But we might just have Qualifications covering education, license, experience, communication skills, preferred experience, physical requirements. That might be okay. But we need to avoid filler. We'll create:

      About the role

      ... (firm description + role overview)

      Responsibilities

      • ... items ...

      Qualifications

      • ... required qualifications ...
      • ... preferred qualifications ...
      • ... physical and mental job qualifications ...
      But we need to separate required vs preferred? Could still be list items. Alternatively we could have Requirements heading for physical and mental job qualifications, and Qualifications heading for education/license/experience. But we have limited sections; we can do both. Let's decide: - About the role: firm description + role overview. - Responsibilities: list duties. - Qualifications: education, license, experience, communication skills. - Requirements: physical and mental job qualifications (travel, environments, equipment, physical abilities). - Benefits: list benefits. - Pay: salary range. We'll omit Skills as we covered communication skills under Qualifications. Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now we need to extract exact text, preserving all substantive info, not inventing or summarizing away detail. Let's craft About the role paragraph: Combine: "Are you looking to join an organization that is growing and dynamic? What about a high-energy, collaborative environment that rewards hard work? J.S. Held is a global consulting firm that combines technical, scientific, financial, and strategic expertise to advise clients seeking to realize value and mitigate risk. Our professionals serve as trusted advisors to organizations facing high stakes matters demanding urgent attention, staunch integrity, proven experience, clear-cut analysis, and an understanding of both tangible and intangible assets.

The individual is expected to bring over existing client relationships to support revenue generation and contribute to the continued growth of the practice." We need to ensure we didn't include boilerplate like "Job Description". We removed that phrase. Now Responsibilities: we have three categories with bullet points. Let's extract each bullet: Client Engagement & Business Development: - Serve as a senior point of contact for clients, ensuring satisfaction and long-term relationship development. - Identify and pursue new business opportunities within insurance, legal, and construction sectors. - Represent the firm at industry events, conferences, and client meetings. - Collaborate with senior leadership to define and implement growth strategies. Strategic Leadership & Team Development: - Help to mentor and grow a team of engineers, fostering a collaborative and high-performance culture. - Provide strategic direction and oversight on client engagements, ensuring quality and consistency. - Support professional development and knowledge sharing across the team. Technical Oversight & Project Delivery: - Oversee and conduct forensic investigations into a variety of structural failures, construction defects, and material performance issues. - Prepare and review expert reports, technical analyses, and litigation support documents. - Testify as an expert witness in legal proceedings when required. - Ensure consistency in inspection methodology, client communication, and deliverable quality. We'll put each as
    • . Now Qualifications (education/license/experience/communication): - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil, Structural, or related Engineering field (ABET-accredited). - Active PE or SE license. - Advanced engineering experience, including forensic consulting. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, including expert report writing and courtroom testimony. Now Requirements (physical and mental job qualifications): - Must be able to travel to various project sites and conduct field investigations. - Must be able to work in hot and cold environments. - Must be able to carry and operate equipment relevant to role. - Physically able to climb, stand, walk, kneel, and crouch for extended periods of time. Note the original had "Must be able to carry and operate equipment relevant to rolePhysically able to climb, stand, walk, kneel, and crouch for extended periods of time". We'll split. Now Benefits: - Flexible work environment allowing remote work when needed. - Flexible Time Off policy. - Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance. - 401k Match. - Commuter Benefit. Now Pay: - Estimated salary range for this role is $90,000 - $105,000 USD. We'll put as

      maybe. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Other Duties", privacy, EEO. Now output HTML fragment only. We'll wrap sections in

      and

      or

        . Make sure no extra text. Let's craft:
