Information Technology$169k–$324k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. We need to parse job description. First, heading: "Job Description This Opportunity WSP is seeking a Senior Program Director for our Power & Energy Program Management Office in Tulsa, OK. The following locations will also be considered: ..." This is about the role location etc. Could be "About the role". We'll put that in

About the role

with paragraph(s) containing location info and description. Then "Your Impact" bullet list of responsibilities. That is responsibilities. So

Responsibilities

with
  • each bullet. Then "Who You Are" includes Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We need separate sections: Requirements (maybe required qualifications) and Qualifications (maybe preferred?). The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have to decide what goes where. We have Required Qualifications list (bulleted). Also Preferred Qualifications (Master's Degree, PMP). Could put under Qualifications. Skills: maybe we can extract skills from responsibilities? But we have a list of skills in Required Qualifications: analytical and organizational skills, business acumen, corporate project management principles, etc. Could put under Skills. But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps: - About the role: location, overview. - Responsibilities: the "Your Impact" paragraphs (list). - Requirements: Required Qualifications (bullet list). - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (bullet list). - Skills: maybe combine some skill statements from Required Qualifications that are skill-focused: "Advanced knowledge and proficiency with analytical and organizational skills, with business acumen to bridge business and project management." "Strong working knowledge of corporate project management principles, practices, process, delivery, execution, and the business impact upon the organization." "Demonstrated exceptional ability with establishing, implementing, and managing multiple larger scale/complex projects, programs, documents, systems, and practices." "Excellent self-leadership and interpersonal communication skills..." "Strategic lateral thinking and strong analytical skills..." "Ability to elicit cooperation..." "Demonstrated experience working in an embedded or highly integrated client-service environment..." "Advanced knowledge and proficiency with technical writing, office automation, relevant software, MS Office suite products..." "Proven track record of upholding workplace safety..." "Strong ability to quickly adapt to changing client priorities..." Could be many. Might be too much. But we can include a concise Skills section summarizing key skills. - Benefits: from "WSP Benefits" paragraph. - Pay: from "Compensation Expected Salary (all locations): $168,900 - $323,900" plus Colorado note. We'll include both? Probably include the main range; Colorado note maybe as extra sentence. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned besides travel expectations. No schedule like full-time/part-time. Not given. So we should not create Schedule section because no specific content. Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. Good. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove those. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like locations list, travel expectations, etc. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine first paragraph and location list. Paragraph: "WSP is seeking a Senior Program Director for our Power & Energy Program Management Office in Tulsa, OK. The following locations will also be considered: Oklahoma City, OK; Dallas, TX; Austin, TX; Houston, TX; Corpus Christi, TX; Bentonville, AR; Shreveport, LA. The successful candidate is preferred to be located within, or have ready access to, the south-central United States and must be able to travel regularly to WSP, client, and project locations across a multi-state utility service territory." Then maybe also include the description of role: "This position provides leadership, definition, and oversight for the consistent delivery of large-scale, highly complex programs within the Extra High Voltage (EHV) Transmission and Distribution sector, with a strong emphasis on embedded client support, regional coordination, and reliable execution across a geographically dispersed portfolio." We can include that as part of About the role. Now Responsibilities: list each bullet from "Your Impact". Let's extract bullet points: - Lead the most complex and largest scale projects within the organization, ensuring contributors know what they are required to do and by when, preparing and overseeing relevant project budgets, forecasts, margins and KPIs, monitoring external events and risk contingencies, tracking hours and expenses, ensuring QA/QC and satisfactory performance, and managing the contractual obligations to deliver the project or assigned portfolio of assigned project(s) as defined in the contract. - Foster effective and proactive strategies to engage client and project stakeholders at all levels, maintain trusted relationships, and provide clear, timely reporting on project and portfolio progress. - Participate in the technical aspects of contract negotiation, presentations, and meetings. - Serve as a senior day-to-day client interface, working within established client governance, project controls, safety, quality, reporting, and decision-making processes to support successful delivery of the assigned program or portfolio. - Coordinate closely with client representatives, internal delivery teams, functional leads, subcontractors, and external stakeholders to align priorities, clarify responsibilities, resolve issues, and support consistent execution across the assigned regional footprint. - Accountable for the profitable performance and successful completion of all individual projects within the specified area or portfolio.

We'll put each as
  • . Now Requirements: Required Qualifications bullet list. Extract bullet points: - Bachelor’s degree in engineering, science, or a related major, or equivalent experience in a technical or engineering firm. - 15+ years of relevant post-education experience in a project or program management role within the power, energy, utility, or large capital infrastructure industry. - Advanced-level understanding of project delivery within the A/E/C industry and extensive experience managing large-scale utility or capital infrastructure projects and programs. - Experience working across a variety of delivery models (DBB, EPC, PDB) and within a client-led governance and controls environment. - Advanced knowledge and proficiency with analytical and organizational skills, with business acumen to bridge business and project management. - Strong working knowledge of corporate project management principles, practices, process, delivery, execution, and the business impact upon the organization. - Demonstrated exceptional ability with establishing, implementing, and managing multiple larger scale/complex projects, programs, documents, systems, and practices. - Excellent self-leadership and interpersonal communication skills with the ability to manage staff, and effectively, persuasively, and tactfully interact with employees at all levels of the organization. - Strategic lateral thinking and strong analytical skills with attention to detail and prioritization of responsibilities in a pressure work environment. - Ability to elicit cooperation from a wide variety of sources, including senior management, subcontractors, consultants, suppliers, clients, and company-wide staff, including those with whom no formal hierarchical relationship exists. - Demonstrated experience working in an embedded or highly integrated client-service environment, with the ability to navigate matrixed organizations, regional operating groups, multiple functional interfaces, and geographically dispersed stakeholders. - Advanced knowledge and proficiency with technical writing, office automation, relevant software, MS Office suite products (e.g., Word, Excel, Visio, Project, SharePoint), technology, spreadsheets, and PM tools. - Proven track record of upholding workplace safety and ability to abide by WSP’s health, safety and drug/alcohol and harassment policies. - Strong ability to quickly adapt to changing client priorities and demonstrate flexibility in schedules, hours, and work locations to meet program and regional business needs. - Regular travel is expected to client offices, WSP offices, and project sites across the assigned south-central U.S. service territory, with frequency varying based on program and project requirements. We'll put each as
  • . Now Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list: - Master’s Degree - Essential project management certification (e.g., PMP, CAP-M) Now Skills: We could extract skill statements from Required Qualifications that are skill-focused. But to avoid duplication, maybe we can create a Skills section that includes: analytical and organizational skills, business acumen, corporate project management principles, establishing/implementing/managing multiple large-scale projects, self-leadership/interpersonal communication, strategic lateral thinking, analytical skills, ability to elicit cooperation, embedded client service experience, technical writing/office automation/MS Office, workplace safety, adaptability/flexibility. However many of these overlap with Requirements. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could we merge Skills into Requirements? But we need to follow headings list; we can include Skills if we have content. We could create a Skills section that summarizes key skills not already captured elsewhere, but risk duplication. Perhaps we can omit Skills section if we think it's too thin. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." If we include Skills, we need to ensure it's substantive. We could combine some skill statements that are not already covered as separate bullet points in Requirements. But many are already there. However we could still include a Skills section that lists: "Analytical and organizational skills, business acumen, corporate project management principles, technical writing and MS Office proficiency, stakeholder engagement, embedded client service, adaptability, workplace safety." That's still substantive. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can rephrase but must preserve detail. Summarizing is okay as long as we don't lose detail? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Summarizing could be considered summarizing away detail. Safer to not create a Skills section if it would just be a summary of existing details. Better to omit Skills section. Thus we will not include Skills section. Now Benefits: from "WSP Benefits" paragraph. Paragraph: "WSP provides a comprehensive suite of benefits focused on providing health and financial stability throughout the employee’s career. These benefits include coverage related to medical, dental, vision, disability, and life; retirement savings; paid sick leave; paid vacation (or other personal time); paid parental leave; and paid time off for purposes of bereavement, voting
