We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes intro paragraphs about Jacobs and impact. We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We need to extract content.
We have:
- Intro: "At Jacobs, we're challenging today...". Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Jacobs"? The instruction: Use
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We need to extract content.
We have:
- Intro: "At Jacobs, we're challenging today...". Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Jacobs"? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" heading with description of role and impact.
- Responsibilities: bullet list of duties under "What You'll Do". So we can create Responsibilities
with - each duty.
- Requirements: bullet list under "Here's what you'll need". That's requirements. So
Requirements
with list.
- Qualifications: maybe separate? The posting also has "Ideally, you'll also have" which could be Qualifications or Skills. Could treat as "Preferred Qualifications" but we only have Qualifications heading. Could put that under Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe we can extract skills from requirements: proficiency with Revit, etc. But we already have them in Requirements. Could create Skills section for things like "Strong written and verbal communication skills", "Ability to proactively identify...". However we need to avoid duplication. Better to follow the headings: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where.
We have:
- About the role: intro paragraphs about Jacobs and role description.
- Responsibilities: the "What You'll Do" list.
- Requirements: "Here's what you'll need" list (Bachelor's degree, registration, 20+ years, OSHA 10, etc.)
- Qualifications: "Ideally, you'll also have" list (experience supporting large-scale..., etc.)
- Skills: maybe we can pull out specific skill items like "Proficiency with Revit for architectural modeling and documentation.", "Ability to read, understand, and interpret contract documents...", "Proficiency with construction administration and project scheduling software applications.", "Strong written and verbal communication skills." But many of those are already in Requirements. Could still put them under Skills if we want, but we must not duplicate content? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid redundancy. However we need to include all info somewhere. If we put some items in Requirements and also in Skills, that's duplication but still preserving. Might be okay but could be considered redundant. Better to split: Requirements for mandatory qualifications (degree, registration, experience, OSHA 10). Skills for abilities (proficiency with Revit, communication, etc.). Qualifications for preferred experience.
Let's parse:
Mandatory requirements (Here's what you'll need):
- Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Professional registration as a Registered Architect.
- 20+ years of relevant professional experience.
- OSHA 10 certification.
- Demonstrated experience providing construction administration services on complex projects.
- Demonstrated experience in a client-facing construction contract administration role leading multidisciplinary project teams.
- Ability to proactively identify and help resolve design, coordination, and construction challenges with limited supervision.
- In-depth knowledge of construction contract documents, including drawings, specifications, Division 01 requirements, General Conditions, Supplemental Conditions, and construction administration procedures.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Proficiency with construction administration and project scheduling software applications.
- Ability to read, understand, and interpret contract documents, drawings, specifications, and schedules.
- Proficiency with Revit for architectural modeling and documentation.
- Ability to work onsite full-time at the project location throughout the construction phase.
These could be split: some are qualifications (education, registration, experience, certification) and some are skills (proficiency, ability, knowledge). But we can keep all under Requirements; then we might not need Skills section. However we need to decide if we should include Skills section only if there is specific content. We have content for skills (proficiency with Revit, communication, etc.) but they are already in Requirements. If we omit Skills section, we still preserve all info (since it's in Requirements). That's acceptable: we only need to include sections when posting has real, specific content for it. If we put all skill-like items under Requirements, we still have content for Requirements. So we can omit Skills section if we don't have separate distinct content. But we also have "Ideally, you'll also have" which is preferred qualifications; we could put that under Qualifications.
Benefits: we have paragraph about health and welfare benefits: medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, 401(k), ability to purchase company stock at a discount, deferred compensation plan, Executive Deferral Plan, unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) policy, seven paid holidays, caregiver leave, merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, stock. So we have Benefits content.
Pay: we have base salary range: $142,200.00 to $195,500.00. So we have Pay content.
Schedule: we have mention: "Ability to work onsite full-time at the project location throughout the construction phase." Also earlier: "Onsite employees are expected to attend a Jacobs Workplace on a full-time basis, as required by the nature of their role." Also "Your application experience..." Not schedule. There's no explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday, 9-5". So we may not have specific schedule content beyond full-time onsite. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. We have schedule mention of full-time onsite. That could be considered schedule info (full-time). But is it specific enough? It says "Ability to work onsite full-time at the project location throughout the construction phase." That indicates schedule: full-time onsite. So we could include Schedule section with that statement. However we also have "Onsite employees are expected to attend a Jacobs Workplace on a full-time basis, as required by the nature of their role." That's similar. So we can include Schedule.
But we must avoid filler like "not specified". We have specific: full-time onsite. So we can include Schedule.
Now About the role: we have introductory paragraphs: "At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow..." and "Your impact At Jacobs, we're helping to shape the future of communities...". That's suitable.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce:
