HybridFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities? Actually headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use for each section heading. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the job description.
Content:

- Then "In this position, you will oversee geotechnical investigations, analyses, and design efforts supporting transportation, infrastructure, energy, building, and private development projects. You will serve as a trusted technical advisor, mentor emerging engineers, and help drive the continued growth of WSP's geotechnical practice."
- Then "Your Impact" bullet list (actually sentences). We'll treat as responsibilities.
List of responsibilities:

- Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs.
Then "Who You Are" with Required Qualifications list:

- Professional Engineer (PE) license in a New England state or ability to obtain through reciprocity.

Then "About WSP" paragraph about company.
Then benefits: "WSP provides a flexible and agile workplace model while meeting client needs. 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 earlier: "At WSP, we want to give our employees the challenges they seek to grow their careers and knowledge base."
Thus we have Benefits content.
Pay and Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should NOT include Pay or Schedule sections.
We need sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe Preferred?), Skills, Benefits.
But we must follow instruction: Use headings 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, Skills, Benefits.
We need to decide what goes where.
- About the role: introductory paragraph describing role, location, impact.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (the "Your Impact" bullet list).
- Requirements: Required Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (or could be separate but we have both Required and Preferred; maybe Requirements for required, Qualifications for preferred). Or we could combine but better separate.
- Skills: maybe list of skills like project management, technical writing, client-facing, software proficiency, leadership, etc. Could extract from responsibilities and qualifications. But we must not invent; we can list skills explicitly mentioned: 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, work in office/field; Willingness to travel; Ability to abide by policies; Ability to be comfortable in remote settings; etc. However many of these are already in Requirements. Might be redundant but okay.
But we need to avoid filler. If we create Skills section, we must have real specific content. We can list skills from the posting: project management, technical writing, client-facing, geotechnical engineering software, Microsoft Office, team leadership, multitasking, office/field work, travel, policy compliance, remote work, motor vehicle screening. That's specific.
But we must ensure we don't repeat content unnecessarily? It's okay to repeat as long as we preserve all substantive info. However we should aim to not duplicate too much but it's not prohibited. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we can repeat.
Better to structure:
for each section heading. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.

Benefits paragraph
We must not include Pay or Schedule. We must strip boilerplate: EEO, legal notices, etc. Also remove "About WSP" paragraph that is generic? Actually "About WSP" includes description of company and benefits. We already extracted benefits. The rest of About WSP is generic description; we could include as part of About the role? But we already have intro about role. The "About WSP" paragraph is more about the company; not required but could be included in About the role? However instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The About WSP paragraph is not boilerplate; it's substantive about the company. Could be included maybe as part of About the role or separate section? But we only have defined headings; we could add it under About the role as additional paragraph. Thus About the role will contain: the initial opportunity description, alternative office locations, In this position you will oversee..., plus the About WSP description (maybe shortened). But we must not invent. We'll include the About WSP paragraph as is (except we might trim the benefits part because we have separate Benefits). However the About WSP paragraph includes benefits sentence; we could keep it there but then duplicate in Benefits. Better to split: keep the company description (mission, employees, markets) in About the role, and put benefits in Benefits section. Thus we need to parse About WSP paragraph: "ABOUT US WSP USA is the U.S. operating company of WSP, one of the world's leading engineering and professional services firms. Dedicated to serving local communities, we are engineers, planners, technical experts, strategic advisors and construction management professionals. WSP USA designs lasting solutions in the buildings, transportation, energy, water and environment markets. With more than 15,000 employees in over 300 offices across the U.S., we partner with our clients to help communities prosper. www.wsp.com WSP provides a flexible and agile workplace model while meeting client needs. 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. At WSP, we want to give our employees the challenges they seek to grow their careers and knowledge base. Your daily contributions to your team will be essential in meeting client objectives, goals and challenges." We'll split: - Company description: first sentences up to "www.wsp.com". Actually "www.wsp.com" is a URL; we can keep. - Benefits sentence: "WSP provides a flexible and agile workplace model while meeting client needs. 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." - Additional statements: "At WSP, we want to give our employees the challenges they seek to grow their careers and knowledge base. Your daily contributions to your team will be essential in meeting client objectives, goals and challenges." We can put the company description and the additional statements in About the role. Benefits sentence goes to Benefits section. Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Are you ready to get started?" That's a call to action; maybe considered application instruction? It's not exactly instruction but could be considered promotional. Might be okay to keep? The instruction says remove application instructions. "Are you ready to get started?" is not an instruction to apply; it's a motivational line. Could keep but maybe better to remove as it's fluff. However it's not boilerplate; but it's not substantive info about the job. Might be considered filler. Safer to remove. Also remove "NOTICE TO THIRD PARTY AGENCIES:" etc. Now produce HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's craft. About the role paragraph(s): Paragraph 1: "WSP is seeking a Senior Geotechnical Engineer Manager to lead complex infrastructure and development projects across New England for our Merrimack, NH office.
