Senior Precon and Estimating Manager, Industrial Manufacturing Construction
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only sections with real content. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also remove "Benefits Information" maybe we can keep Benefits section if there is content. The posting says: "Benefits Information The benefits package aligned to this position is Professional Non-Union. Please click the link below for more details. Click here for benefits details." That's vague; it's not specific benefits. According to rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It states "Professional Non-Union" but that's not detailed. Might be considered not specific enough? The rule says: 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. Here they state benefits package aligned to this position is Professional Non-Union. That's somewhat specific but still vague. Might be considered not enough detail? I'd lean to not include Benefits section because it's not detailed list. However we could include a short paragraph under Benefits heading? The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits package aligned to this position is Professional Non-Union. That is a statement, albeit not a list. Could be considered stating them. But we need to avoid filler. "Professional Non-Union" is a specific phrase. I'd include a Benefits section with a
containing that sentence. Pay and Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. We need sections: About the role (maybe from the introductory paragraph and role summary). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe education, experience, knowledge, skills). Qualifications (maybe education and experience). Skills (maybe knowledge, skills & abilities). But we must avoid duplication. The posting has sections: Role Summary, Key Role Responsibilities - Core..., Key Role Responsibilities - Additional Core N/A, Knowledge, Skills & Abilities, Education, Experience, Working Environment, Benefits Information. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine Education and Experience into Requirements or Qualifications. Qualifications could be education+experience. Skills could be knowledge, skills & abilities. Responsibilities is clear. About the role: include the introductory paragraph about company culture and role summary. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove duplicated lines, boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, background screening, etc. Also remove "This role is expected to accept applications for at least three business days..." etc. Also remove "JE Dunn Construction is committed to hiring..." etc. Also remove "JE Dunn Construction Company does not accept unsolicited resumes..." etc. Also remove "Please, no phone calls or emails." We need to preserve all substantive information: that includes the company culture paragraph, role summary, responsibilities list, knowledge/skills/abilities list, education, experience, working environment details (driver's license, lift, travel, hours, environment, activities), benefits statement. We need to format lists with
- .
We need to use
for prose. We must not include headings with empty content. Let's craft:
About the role

All activities will be performed in support of the strategy, vision and values of JE Dunn. Autonomy & Decision Making: Makes decisions within defined limits of authority and consults supervisor on other decisions. Career Path: Preconstruction Services Director
But note we should not repeat "Role Summary" as heading; it's okay as part of prose. Now Responsibilities: combine both Core and Additional Core (which says N/A). Additional Core N/A means no content, so ignore. So we list responsibilities from Core list. We need to extract each bullet: The list is a long sentence with many items separated by periods. We need to split into list items. Let's parse: "Leads overall preconstruction process, resulting in a comprehensive deliverable which includes competitive bids, negotiated proposals, cost estimates, analysis and budgets." "Prepares and executes project win strategies by preparing for interviews and leading internal and external presentations of estimates and proposals to support the business development process." "Oversees project teams and ensures successful execution and completion of preconstruction process." "Manages relationships with key clients and design team contacts during the preconstruction phase." "Capable of performing estimating tasks as needed, including self-perform estimating." "Creates conceptual budgets." "Reports accurate project cost history." "Partners with operations to review project risk assessment, scoring and completion." "Reviews project business plan with other stakeholders, such as operations and office leadership, to ensure alignment and profitability." "Leads, supports and promotes a culture of diversity and inclusion within JE Dunn." "Understands JE Dunn’s policy of non-discrimination and ensures positive, proactive implementation throughout the organization." We should keep all. Now Skills/Knowledge & Abilities: list items: "Ability to perform work accurately and completely, and in a timely manner." "Communication skills, verbal and written (Intermediate)." "Ability to conduct effective presentations." "Proficiency in MS Office with emphasis on strong Excel skills (Intermediate)." "Ability to read and understand drawings and specifications (Intermediate)." "Proficiency in construction estimating software (Intermediate)." "Proficiency in required construction technology." "Ability to prepare quantity surveys." "Knowledge of the means and methods of construction management (Intermediate)." "Knowledge of field operations through project support." "Knowledge of specific trades and scopes of work (Intermediate)." "Knowledge of self-perform and labor productivity." "Knowledge of MBE (Minority Business Enterprise), WBE (Women’s Business Enterprise), and SBA (Small Business Administration) regulations (Intermediate)." "Ability to develop General Requirements estimates." "Knowledge of project processes and how each supports the successful completion of a project." "Ability to develop proficiency in Lens, Revit and/or ASE software." "Knowledge of Lean process and philosophy." "Ability to build relationships and collaborate within a team, internally and externally." Now Education: "Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering or related field (Required). In lieu of the above requirements, equivalent relevant experience will be considered." Experience: "10+ years construction estimating experience. People management experience preferred." Working Environment: list items: "Valid and unrestricted drivers license required" "Must be able to lift up to 10 pounds" "May require periods of overnight travel" "Must be willing to work non-traditional hours to meet project needs" "Normal office environment, but may be exposed to extreme conditions (hot or cold)" "Frequent activity: Sitting, Viewing Computer Screen" "Occasional activity: Standing, Walking, Bending, Climbing, Reaching above Shoulder, Pushing, Pulling" Now Benefits: "The benefits package aligned to this position is Professional Non-Union. Please click the link below for more details. Click here for benefits details." We need to strip the "Please click the link below..." etc as it's application instruction? It's not exactly instruction but it's a link. Might be considered boilerplate? The rule: remove application instructions. This is not exactly application instruction but it's a link to benefits details. Might be considered not substantive. Could keep just the sentence about benefits package. But the rule says never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits package aligned to this position is Professional Non-Union. That's a statement. We'll include awith that sentence only, discarding the link instructions. Now we need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Also we need to avoid headings with no content. Thus final HTML:
