Senior Geotechnical Engineer Manager
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the job description.
Sections present:
- About the role: The first paragraph(s) describing opportunity: "This Opportunity WSP is seeking a Senior Geotechnical Engineer Manager to lead complex infrastructure and development projects across New England for our Merrimack, NH office. This is a high-impact leadership role for an experienced geotechnical professional who combines strong technical expertise with project management, client development, and team leadership capabilities. Alternative office locations include Eliot, ME, Portland, ME, Chelmsford, MA, Worchester, MA, Boston, MA, North Providence, RI, Shelton, CT or Glastonbury, CT."
That's about the role.
- Responsibilities: The "Your Impact" bullet list: "Lead geotechnical engineering projects from proposal and planning through design, construction, and project closeout. Provide technical oversight for geotechnical investigations, subsurface exploration programs, foundation design, slope stability evaluations, retaining structures, and earthwork projects. Manage project scope, budgets, schedules, quality, and client deliverables. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, clients, contractors, and regulatory agencies to deliver successful project outcomes. Review and prepare engineering reports, specifications, calculations, and construction documents. Mentor and develop junior engineers and technical staff. Support business development activities, client relationship management, and proposal pursuits. Ensure compliance with applicable engineering standards, regulatory requirements, and safety policies. Exercise responsible and ethical decision-making regarding company funds, resources and conduct, and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and related policies and procedures. Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs."
That's responsibilities.
- Requirements: The "Who You Are Required Qualifications:" list: Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Geological Engineering, or a related discipline with a geotechnical focus. 10+ years of progressive geotechnical engineering experience. Professional Engineer (PE) license in a New England state or ability to obtain through reciprocity. Experience leading geotechnical engineering design and construction projects. Strong project management, technical writing, and client-facing skills. Proficiency with geotechnical engineering software and Microsoft Office applications. Ability to lead teams, manage multiple priorities, and work effectively in both office and field environments. Willingness to travel as needed to support project and client requirements. Ability to abide by WSP’s health, safety and drug/alcohol and harassment policies. Ability to be comfortable in remote settings and a willingness to perform a variety of tasks as needed to complete an assignment. Occasional travel will be required depending on project-specific requirements. Must successfully complete and pass WSP’s Motor Vehicle screening.
That's required qualifications.
- Preferred Qualifications: Master's degree in Geotechnical or Geological Engineering. Experience with rock mechanics, rock slope stabilization, and related design applications. Demonstrated success managing multidisciplinary projects and technical teams. Established client relationships and business development experience within the New England market. Active participation in professional engineering organizations.
We could treat "Qualifications" as a section covering both required and preferred? The instruction says use headings for sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which headings to include. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe some skills mentioned like project management, technical writing, client-facing, proficiency with software, ability to lead teams, etc). Benefits: The "About WSP" paragraph mentions benefits: "Employees are also afforded a comprehensive suite of benefits including medical, dental, vision, disability, life, and retirement savings focused on providing health and financial stability throughout the employee’s career." Also "WSP provides a flexible and agile workplace model while meeting client needs." That's benefits.
Pay: Not mentioned. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly (though mentions travel, remote, office/field). No explicit schedule like full-time, hours. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections.
Skills: We could extract skills: project management, technical writing, client-facing, proficiency with geotechnical engineering software and Microsoft Office, ability to lead teams, manage multiple priorities, work in office/field, willingness to travel, ability to abide by policies, comfort in remote settings, ability to perform variety of tasks. Also mentoring, business development, client relationship management, proposal pursuits, etc. But many of those are in responsibilities. However we can still create a Skills section summarizing specific skill statements. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we create a Skills section, we need to ensure we are not duplicating content? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine some. Perhaps we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including required and preferred qualifications), Benefits. Skills may be thin; we could embed skill details within Responsibilities or Requirements. But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't say we must include all; we include only when posting has real specific content. So we need to decide if Skills section has real specific content beyond what's already covered. The posting mentions "Strong project management, technical writing, and client-facing skills." "Proficiency with geotechnical engineering software and Microsoft Office applications." "Ability to lead teams, manage multiple priorities, and work effectively in both office and field environments." Those are skills. Could be placed under Skills. However they also appear under Required Qualifications. If we separate them, we might duplicate. Better to keep them under Requirements (or Qualifications). The instruction says we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. Usually Requirements = mandatory, Qualifications = preferred. So we can have Requirements for required qualifications, Qualifications for preferred qualifications. Skills could be separate but we might not need it if we already captured skills in those sections. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to have fewer sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including required and preferred), Benefits. That's four sections. That seems reasonable.
We must not include Pay or Schedule.
Now we need to format: Use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from About the role, Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits (including flexible workplace model, benefits list). Also mention office locations? That's part of About the role. Also mention "Alternative office locations include ..." Should be included.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal notices, etc. Also remove "About WSP ABOUT US" maybe we keep the benefits description but not the "About WSP" generic description? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About WSP" paragraph includes generic description of the company; is that considered boilerplate? It's not exactly legal/EEO, but it's generic company description. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says to remove boilerplate, but also says "Preserve ALL substantive information". The "About WSP" paragraph includes info about WSP being a leading engineering firm, number of employees, markets served, etc. That could be considered substantive? However it's generic and not specific to the job. The instruction says to remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. It doesn't explicitly say to remove generic company overview. But it says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The generic overview may be considered not substantive for the job. However the benefits paragraph is substantive. The "About WSP" paragraph before benefits includes generic description; we could keep it as part of About the role? But the About the role section already covers the opportunity. The generic WSP description may be considered boilerplate. I'd lean to remove the generic "About WSP" paragraph (the one starting "ABOUT US WSP USA is the U.S. operating company...") except the benefits sentence. However the benefits sentence is within that paragraph: "Employees are also afforded a comprehensive suite of benefits including medical, dental, vision, disability, life, and retirement savings focused on providing health and financial stability throughout the employee’s career." Also "WSP provides a flexible and agile workplace model while meeting client needs." Those are benefits. We'll keep those.
Thus we need to extract benefits: flexible and agile workplace model; comprehensive suite of benefits including medical, dental, vision, disability, life, retirement savings.
Now we need to format.
Let's draft:
