We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. The posting includes description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, advantageous qualifications, benefits, pay range, location/work arrangement (maybe schedule?), but schedule not explicitly given except hybrid arrangement (3 days office, 2 remote). That could be considered Schedule? Possibly we can include a Schedule section describing hybrid arrangement. Pay section: they gave salary range for Duluth and Bloomington. We should include Pay section with that info. Benefits: they list comprehensive benefits. So include Benefits.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Join Our 100% Employee-Owned Firm" maybe that's part of About the role? Could be included in About the role or maybe separate section? We'll treat as About the role.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We'll keep details.
We'll structure:

We'll structure:
About the role
with paragraph(s) describing role: employee-owned multi-disciplined team, Senior Professional Mechanical Engineer, work alongside multi-disciplined team, lead mechanical design effort, prepare plans, lead design teams, mentor, Seller-Doer approach, collaborate with managers, etc. Also location and work arrangement: preference Duluth/Bloomington, consider greater MN/WI, flexible hybrid (3 days office, 2 remote), regular travel.
We could split location/work arrangement into its own section maybe Schedule? But schedule is about hybrid arrangement. Could be Schedule section. However they also mention travel. Might be better to put location/work arrangement under About the role or a separate "Location and Work Arrangement" but we only allowed headings from list. Could use "Schedule" for hybrid arrangement and maybe mention travel there. But travel is not schedule exactly. Could include in About the role.
We need to include Responsibilities: list of duties: lead mechanical design effort, prepare mechanical plans, specifications, design details, construction documentation; lead design teams for mechanical and multi-disciplined projects; responsible for technical, quality, financial, safety aspects; mentor less experienced; collaborate with Mechanical Group Manager, Market Managers, VP of Mining to advance services, develop marketing plans, cultivate relations, track opportunities, develop proposals, deliver capabilities presentations.
We can put those in - .
Requirements: Required Qualifications list: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering; PE with ten+ years experience designing various industrial mechanical systems including ventilation and process piping; demonstrated working knowledge of project development process including coordination with other disciplines; ability to apply effective written/verbal communication and presentation skills when developing proposals, negotiating contracts, preparing technical reports, leading meetings, delivering client presentations, participating in consultations; demonstrated ability to coach, mentor, develop less experienced professionals with emphasis on technical design standards, quality control, project management; prior experience providing and leading QAQC reviews; strong working knowledge of MS Office Suite; valid driver's license with clean record and flexibility to travel up to 10%; occasional overnight travel.
We can put as list.
Advantageous Qualifications could go under Skills or Qualifications? Could be under Skills maybe. But we have a Skills heading allowed. We'll put advantageous qualifications under Skills.
Benefits: list: Health Benefits (medical, dental, vision, life insurance from day one); Annual Incentive Plan (discretionary bonuses); HSA Contributions (monthly employer contributions if HSA-eligible plan); 401(k) Match (employer matching on deferrals); ESOP (benefit from Employee Stock Ownership Plan funded by company profits); Paid Time Off (accrue PTO based on professional experience, eight paid holidays per year); Upon receiving formal offer, personalized Total Compensation Overview (TCO). We'll list.
Pay: Salary range: base compensation range for Duluth: not given explicitly? They said "The listed salary range reflects only the starting base pay range for candidates with 10-20 years of related experience in our Duluth, Minnesota office." Then later: "- The base compensation range for this position out of our Bloomington, MN would be $110,500 - 156,500." So we have Bloomington range. For Duluth maybe not given; we could mention that the range is for Duluth? Actually they said "The listed salary range reflects only the starting base pay range for candidates with 10-20 years of related experience in our Duluth, Minnesota office." Then they give Bloomington range. So we can include both: Duluth range not specified numerically? Might be same? We'll include the Bloomington range and note that Duluth range is similar? But we must not invent. We'll state: For Duluth, MN: starting base pay range for 10-20 years experience (not specified numerically). For Bloomington, MN: $110,500 - $156,500. We'll keep as is.
Schedule: hybrid arrangement: three days in office, two days remote, regular travel to offices, project locations, conferences, team events for remote candidates.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, visa sponsorship, pre-employment screening, notice to recruiters, etc. Remove those.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We'll need to wrap sections in appropriate tags. Use
for each heading. Then content: either
for prose or
- for lists.
We'll avoid duplicate content.
Let's craft.
First About the role: combine description.
Paragraph: "Our employee-owned and multi-disciplined team of engineering and design professionals is looking for a Senior Professional Mechanical Engineer who has extensive experience designing a variety of HVAC, plumbing, processing, and other mechanical system design projects for heavy industrial facilities and site operations to join our Mining team. As a member of our team, you will work alongside a multi-disciplined team of Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, and Structural) and Architecture professionals to provide an array of services for a diverse portfolio of multi-disciplined projects throughout the country. As a Senior Professional Engineer, you will lead the mechanical design effort for complex plant/building systems and site operations for heavy industrial sectors, including mining, mineral processing, aggregate, and metals. You will also prepare mechanical plans, specifications, design details and construction documentation. Additionally, you will lead design teams for mechanical and multi-disciplined projects and be responsible for technical, quality, financial, and safety aspects from conception through construction. In addition, you will have the opportunity to be a mentor and share your knowledge and professional experiences to further develop less experienced team members who will work alongside you. Furthermore, under our “Seller-Doer” approach to business development, you will collaborate with the Mechanical Group Manager, Market Managers, and the Vice President of Mining to further advance our services and enhance our reputation by contributing to the development of marketing plans, cultivating / maintaining relations with key stakeholders and client representatives, tracking prospective opportunities, developing proposals, and delivering capabilities presentations. Location and Work Arrangement: Our preference is for this position to be based out of Duluth, MN or Bloomington, MN; however, we will consider candidates residing within greater Minnesota and Wisconsin if experience and qualifications align with the requirements of this position and market development initiatives.

We must ensure we don't repeat content already in About the role. Some of the schedule content duplicates location and work arrangement from About the role. To avoid duplication, we could keep location/work arrangement in About the role and not repeat in Schedule. But we need a Schedule section only if we have real specific content. We could keep Schedule as hybrid arrangement and travel, but we already mentioned that in About the role. To avoid duplication, we could move location/work arrangement to Schedule and keep About the role more focused on role description without location. Let's restructure.
Better: About the role: focus on role responsibilities, team, etc. Then Schedule: hybrid arrangement, travel. Then Pay, Benefits, Requirements, Skills.
We must not repeat same info. So we need to split.
Let's craft About the role without location/work arrangement.
