We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Life At PE Perkins Eastman ..." description about company, then "The Opportunity" describing role, then "Primary Responsibilities", then "Qualifications & Experience", then "What We Offer You". Also there is mention of salary range and hybrid policy. We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content accordingly.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO etc. Remove duplicated lines. Keep substantive info.
We need sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to decide which sections to include.
We have:
- About the role: could be the "Life At PE Perkins Eastman ..." description plus "The Opportunity". That's about role/company. Could be "About the role". We'll put that as
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content accordingly.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO etc. Remove duplicated lines. Keep substantive info.
We need sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to decide which sections to include.
We have:
- About the role: could be the "Life At PE Perkins Eastman ..." description plus "The Opportunity". That's about role/company. Could be "About the role". We'll put that as About the role
with paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: "Primary Responsibilities" list many bullet-like sentences. We'll put as Responsibilities
with - each.
- Qualifications: "Qualifications & Experience" includes education, experience, certifications. Also "Core Expertise" and "Technical Proficiency" and "Soft Skills" and "Additional Experience (Preferred)". Those could be under Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to split content accordingly.
We have qualifications (education, experience, certifications). We have core expertise (must have experience in Workplace/Corporate Interiors, etc.) That could be Requirements. Technical proficiency and soft skills could be Skills. Additional experience preferred could also be Skills or Qualifications.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We have Benefits: "What We Offer You" includes medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO, company paid holidays, life insurance, pre-tax commuter benefits, professional development, competitive salary, hybrid policy. So we can make Benefits section with those items.
Pay: Salary range $88k to $94k. Also mention compensation may vary based on job level and location. So we can include Pay section with that.
Schedule: Hybrid policy allowing flexibility for managing working days and hours. So we can include Schedule section describing hybrid policy.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. All have content.
We must not repeat job title. Not needed.
We must not include EEO boilerplate etc. Remove that paragraph at end.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure each bullet appears once.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
Company description paragraph(s):

Note some duplicates: "Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines" appears also in Soft Skills later. We'll keep only one occurrence maybe under Responsibilities? But we need to preserve all substantive info; duplicates can be removed as per instruction: "Remove duplicated lines". So we should deduplicate.
Now Qualifications & Experience section:
"Bachelor’s Degree from a 4-year CIDA-accredited Interior Design program or equivalent

Now Benefits section: "What We Offer You"
"Robust medical, dental and vision coverage
401k Options
PTO
Company Paid Holidays
Life Insurance
Pre-tax commuter benefits
Professional Development
Competitive salary
PE has a hybrid policy that allows flexibility for our employees in managing their working days and hours to cater to their diverse needs."
Pay: "Compensation may vary based on the job level and your geographical work location. Salary Range: $88k to $94k"
Schedule: The hybrid policy already mentioned; but we could treat schedule as hybrid policy. However we already used hybrid policy in Benefits. Might be better to put hybrid policy under Schedule, and Benefits only list medical etc. But the instruction says we should include a section only when posting has real specific content. The posting mentions hybrid policy under "What We Offer You". It also says "PE has a hybrid policy that allows flexibility for our employees in managing their working days and hours to cater to their diverse needs." That's schedule/flexibility. So we could put that under Schedule. Benefits then list medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO, company paid holidays, life insurance, pre-tax commuter benefits, professional development, competitive salary. However competitive salary is also Pay. Might be duplication. Better to separate: Benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO, company paid holidays, life insurance, pre-tax commuter benefits, professional development. Pay: salary range $88k-$94k, compensation may vary based on job level and location. Schedule: hybrid policy flexibility.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. All have content.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with
headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We need to decide which content goes into paragraphs vs lists.
For About the role: we have a few paragraphs (company description + opportunity). We'll put as
elements.
For Responsibilities: list each bullet as
- .
For Requirements: we need to decide what goes under Requirements heading. The instruction includes Requirements as a possible heading. We have core expertise (must have experience...). That seems like requirements. Also maybe the education/experience etc could be Qualifications. We'll split:

Also maybe "Ability to produce and coordinate a complete set of construction documents for permit and bid" is a requirement.
