Information Technology$169k–$324k/yrFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the job description. First paragraph: "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: 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. 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." That's about the role. So we can have

About the role

with a paragraph. Then "Your Impact" bullet list of responsibilities. That's responsibilities. So

Responsibilities

with
  • items. Then "Who You Are" includes Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We need to separate Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what content goes where. "Required Qualifications" list: Bachelor’s degree..., 15+ years..., Advanced-level understanding..., Experience working across..., Advanced knowledge..., Strong working knowledge..., Demonstrated exceptional ability..., Excellent self-leadership..., Strategic lateral thinking..., Ability to elicit cooperation..., Demonstrated experience..., Advanced knowledge..., Proven track record..., Strong ability..., Regular travel... These are qualifications/requirements. Could go under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says we can have both sections if content exists. We could put Required Qualifications under Requirements, and Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications. Or we could combine. Let's separate: Requirements = Required Qualifications. Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications. Skills: maybe we can extract skills from the responsibilities or qualifications? There's mention of technical writing, office automation, MS Office, PM tools, analytical and organizational skills, business acumen, etc. Could be placed under Skills. But we need to ensure we have real specific content. We could create a Skills section with bullet list of skills mentioned: technical writing, office automation, MS Office suite (Word, Excel, Visio, Project, SharePoint), PM tools, analytical and organizational skills, business acumen, strategic lateral thinking, interpersonal communication, etc. However we must not invent or summarize away detail; we must preserve all substantive information. If we create a Skills section, we need to take content from the posting that corresponds to skills. The posting includes many skill-like statements; we can extract them. But we must be careful not to duplicate content already placed elsewhere. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to ensure we don't lose any info. If we move some bullet points to Skills, we must still have them somewhere else? Actually we can reorganize as long as we keep all info. It's okay to move content to appropriate sections as long as we don't lose or invent. So we can parse the responsibilities and qualifications and assign them to sections. Let's outline: About the role: paragraph describing the role, location, travel, purpose. Responsibilities: bullet list from "Your Impact" (the long paragraph with many responsibilities). We'll break into separate li items. Requirements: Required Qualifications bullet list. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list (Master's Degree, Essential project management certification). Skills: maybe we can extract from responsibilities and qualifications: technical writing, office automation, MS Office suite, PM tools, analytical and organizational skills, business acumen, strategic lateral thinking, interpersonal communication, etc. But many of those are already in Requirements. Might be redundant. Perhaps better to not create Skills section if it would just duplicate. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could skip Skills if it would be thin. However we have many skill-related items; but they are already captured in Requirements. Could we put them under Requirements and not have a separate Skills? That would be fine. The instruction says we can include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. It doesn't require us to use all possible headings. So we can omit Skills if we don't have distinct skill content not already covered. But we have skill content; but we could incorporate them into Requirements or Responsibilities. Since we already have Requirements covering qualifications, we could put skill statements there. That would be okay. Benefits: there is a section "WSP Benefits" with description. So we will have Benefits. Pay: there is compensation range. So we will have Pay. Schedule: there is mention of regular travel expected, but not schedule like hours. There's "Regular travel is expected..." and "Strong ability to quickly adapt to changing client priorities and demonstrate flexibility in schedules, hours, and work locations". That's about schedule flexibility. Could we create a Schedule section? The posting mentions flexibility in schedules, hours, work locations. That's schedule-related. So we could include a Schedule section with that statement. However we need to ensure we don't create placeholder. There is specific content: "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." Also "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." That's more about travel than schedule. But schedule could be about hours/flexibility. We'll include Schedule section with that statement. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

    We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's verify we didn't miss any. From About the role: we captured location list, travel, purpose.
