HybridFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Overview, Essential Duties And Responsibilities, Education and Licensure, Skills, Experience And Qualifications. Also maybe Benefits? It mentions "We offer competitive pay and benefits, and well-being programs". That's a benefits statement but not specific details. According to rules: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — 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. The posting says "We offer competitive pay and benefits, and well-being programs to support you and your family." That's somewhat generic but still mentions benefits. Is that considered specific enough? It says "competitive pay and benefits" but no specifics. The rule says avoid filler/placeholder like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "competitive pay and benefits" is vague but not exactly placeholder; still it's a statement. However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits generically. Might be okay to include a Benefits section with that statement. But we need to avoid filler. Could we include a Benefits section with that sentence? It's not a list; we can put

. Similarly Pay: they mention competitive pay but no numbers. Might be considered filler. Safer to omit Pay and Schedule sections. Benefits maybe okay but it's still generic. I'd lean to omit Benefits as well to avoid filler. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine overview and responsibilities etc. We need headings: About the role? Could use "About the role" for overview paragraph. Then "Responsibilities" for essential duties. Then "Education and Licensure". Then "Skills, Experience and Qualifications". Possibly also "Qualifications" but we already have that. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from overview, responsibilities, education, skills etc. We must remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. Overview paragraph: "Geosyntec has an exciting opportunity for a Senior or Principal Geotechnical Engineer to join our growing Dams & Levees practice in our Louisville, KY; Johnson City, TN; Nashville, TN; Knoxville, TN; Chattanooga, TN; Asheville, NC; or Huntington, WV. This position may offer the flexibility to work a hybrid or remote schedule at the discretion of the company. This role will allow you to serve in a key leadership role to build out our geotechnical engineering capabilities, leveraging existing staff resources and collaborating with other senior dam practitioners across the firm. You will have the opportunity to contribute to the growth of our national dams and levees engineering practice that works on complex projects involving dams, levees, hydraulic structures and other flood risk management infrastructure. Our ideal candidate will possess a background in geotechnical engineering with a focus on dam engineering, and the ability to assist in building and leading a practice.

We invest in our people. Each employee is unique, and your career at Geosyntec will be too. We offer competitive pay and benefits, and well-being programs to support you and your family. To Learn More Visit: http://www.geosyntec.com/careers/ ." We should drop the "To Learn More Visit:" line as it's application instruction? It's a link; maybe considered application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. So drop that sentence. Now Essential Duties And Responsibilities: list of responsibilities. We need to turn into

    • . The paragraph starts: "Collaboration and mentoring are cornerstones of Geosyntec’s culture. You should expect to work closely with experienced professionals who will help integrate you into Geosyntec’s culture as you advance to this next stage of your career of leading and growing a practice. We operate under a sell-manage-do culture, and so we expect that you’d work on challenging technical projects while leveraging your existing knowledge and experience to help Geosyntec expand its current practices and capabilities through business development and client management. Some Of The Key Responsibilities For This Position Include Designing, managing, and performing geotechnical, geoenvironmental, civil, mining, and/or geological engineering field investigations including drilling, instrumentation, and construction quality assurance; Leading dam safety reviews for dams; Working with numerical modeling software programs for stability, seepage and settlement/deformation analysis; Preparing and coordinating the integration of design calculations, drawings, technical specifications, construction cost estimates, reports, and permit applications; Managing projects successfully to achieve goals for technical excellence, budget control, schedule compliance, quality, client satisfaction, and profitability; Reviewing and managing written document production; Business development – including supporting/leading/bringing in new clients and obtaining repeat business from existing clients, leading proposal preparation, and developing and implementing a business development plan; Staff management and mentoring; and Participation in professional development opportunities including technical conferences, in-house seminars, and webinars that allo w our professionals to build the technical and business skills necessary to become successful consultants." We need to split into list items. Each responsibility separated by semicolons or commas? The list after "Some Of The Key Responsibilities For This Position Include" includes items separated by semicolons. Let's extract each: - Designing, managing, and performing geotechnical, geoenvironmental, civil, mining, and/or geological engineering field investigations including drilling, instrumentation, and construction quality assurance; - Leading dam safety reviews for dams; - Working with numerical modeling software programs for stability, seepage and settlement/deformation analysis; - Preparing and coordinating the integration of design calculations, drawings, technical specifications, construction cost estimates, reports, and permit applications; - Managing projects successfully to achieve goals for technical excellence, budget control, schedule compliance, quality, client satisfaction, and profitability; - Reviewing and managing written document production; - Business development – including supporting/leading/bringing in new clients and obtaining repeat business from existing clients, leading proposal preparation, and developing and implementing a business development plan; - Staff management and mentoring; - Participation in professional development opportunities including technical conferences, in-house seminars, and webinars that allow our professionals to build the technical and business skills necessary to become successful consultants. Also preceding sentences about collaboration etc could be part of responsibilities but not in list. We could include them as separate list items or as prose. The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can turn the enumerated responsibilities into list. The preceding sentences could be included as a

        before the list, but they are also part of responsibilities. Might be okay to include them as part of list items as well. Simpler: make a

          with each bullet as above, and maybe include a preceding

          for the introductory sentences. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can include them as part of list items as well. Let's create a

          for the introductory sentences: "Collaboration and mentoring are cornerstones of Geosyntec’s culture. You should expect to work closely with experienced professionals who will help integrate you into Geosyntec’s culture as you advance to this next stage of your career of leading and growing a practice. We operate under a sell-manage-do culture, and so we expect that you’d work on challenging technical projects while leveraging your existing knowledge and experience to help Geosyntec expand its current practices and capabilities through business development and client management." Then

            with the list items. Now Education and Licensure: "Bachelor's degree in Geotechnical, Geological, Civil Engineering or related field. (required) Advanced degrees of the same. (preferred) Professional registration (i.e., P.E.). (required)". We can make a
              with each line as
            • . Or we could keep as

              . Since it's a list of requirements, use

                . Skills, Experience And Qualifications: list: - At least 8 years (10+ preferred) of direct engineering consulting experience performing geotechnical consulting work related to tailings facilities or dam engineering, and other related infrastructure; or equivalent combination of education and experience.

(required) - Health & Safety training, medical monitoring, and client-driven drug and background testing may be required. - Valid U.S. driver’s license and a satisfactory driving record for business travel. (required) We need to preserve the "(required)" etc. Could keep them inside
              • . Use
                  . Now we need sections headings: About the role (overview), Responsibilities, Education and Licensure, Skills, Experience and Qualifications. We should not include Benefits/Pay/Schedule. Now produce HTML:
