Senior Project Scheduler
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- General Summary: description of role responsibilities.
- Essential Job Accountabilities: list of duties.
- Federal Pursuit and Preconstruction Support: more duties.
- Education: Bachelor's degree required etc.
- Work Experience: 10+ years etc.
- Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list.
- Physical Demands: description.
- Our Benefits At a Glance: benefits description.
- Base Salary Range: pay.
- About Granite Construction Incorporated: company description (maybe not needed? It's substantive but could be considered "About the role"? Might be considered "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map content accordingly.
We need to decide which sections to include.
We have:
- About the role: could be General Summary.
- Responsibilities: Essential Job Accountabilities + Federal Pursuit and Preconstruction Support.
- Requirements: Education + Work Experience.
- Qualifications: maybe Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities.
- Skills: maybe part of Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities.
- Benefits: Our Benefits At a Glance.
- Pay: Base Salary Range.
- Schedule: not mentioned; no schedule info, so omit.
We should not create empty sections.
We need to use for each section heading.
Inside sections, use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate.
We need to avoid repeating job title.
We need to drop duplicated lines.
Let's extract content.

Our Benefits At a Glance: paragraph describing benefits.
Base Salary Range: "$110,159.00 - $182,631.00 Pay may vary based upon relevant experience, skills, location, and education among other factors."
About Granite Construction Incorporated: description.
We need to decide which sections to output.
We have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We can map:
- About the role: General Summary (maybe also location). Use
.
- Responsibilities: combine Essential Job Accountabilities and Federal Pursuit and Preconstruction Support as a list (
- ).
- Requirements: Education + Work Experience as list (
- ).
- Qualifications: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities as list (
- ).
- Skills: maybe we could split but we already have Skills in Qualifications; but we could still include Skills section with same list? Better to avoid duplication. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities into either Qualifications or Skills. Since we have both Qualifications and Skills headings available, we could put Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities under Qualifications, and maybe Skills under Skills? But that would duplicate. Better to put Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities under Skills, and keep Qualifications for Education+Work Experience? Actually typical: Requirements = education/experience; Qualifications = certifications; Skills = abilities. But we can decide.
We have Education (including certification preference) and Work Experience. That's Requirements.
Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities is Skills.
Thus:
- About the role: General Summary.
- Responsibilities: duties.
- Requirements: Education + Work Experience.
- Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities.
- Benefits: Our Benefits At a Glance.
- Pay: Base Salary Range.
We should not include Schedule.
We should not include About Granite Construction Incorporated? It's substantive but not covered by headings. Could we put it under About the role? Already used. Could we add another section like "About the Company"? Not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says "e.g." implying those are examples, but we should prefer those headings. It didn't forbid other headings, but says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, ...). Likely we should stick to those. The company description may be considered boilerplate? It's not boilerplate but it's about the company. Could be omitted? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we must keep it. Where to put? Could be under About the role as additional paragraph. That seems okay: About the role can include both role summary and company info. But the heading is About the role, not About the company. Still we can include company info there.
Alternatively we could create a section "About Granite Construction Incorporated" but that's not in the list; risk of being considered not following instruction. Safer to include under About the role.
Thus About the role will have two paragraphs: General Summary and company description.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to remove lines like "Building a career at Granite may be the most valuable thing you could do... Find your dream job today, and be part of something great. Our most powerful partnership is the one we have with our employees. Our people are our most valued asset and the foundation of Granite’s century-old success. We’re building more than infrastructure; we are building your future." That's fluff but maybe considered boilerplate? It's generic marketing. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This fluffy intro may not be explicitly listed but could be considered boilerplate? It's not legal/EEO. It's more marketing fluff. Might be considered not substantive? It's not specific to the job. Probably we should remove it as it's not substantive detail about the job. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The fluff is not substantive to the job. So we can drop it.
Also remove "Notice to Staffing Agencies" etc. That's legal boilerplate; remove.
Also remove "Our Benefits At a Glance" heading? We keep benefits section.
We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines.
Now produce HTML.
