We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Content:
- Note for internal applicants: Successful candidates already at rates above the posted salary will be evaluated on an individual basis to determine final salary outcome. (This is about salary but not a specific salary figure; it's a note. Should we include Pay section? The note mentions salary but no actual salary figure. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does not state a specific salary amount, just note about internal applicants. Likely we should not create a Pay section because no specific salary is given. However the note is about salary outcome; but it's not a concrete salary. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It states a note about salary evaluation but not a salary figure. I'd say we should not create a Pay section. Could include that note in a paragraph maybe under About the role? But it's about salary. Might be better to include a short paragraph under About the role or maybe a separate "Compensation" but not allowed. So we will not create Pay section.
- Job Location: Central Office, 105 West Capitol Avenue, Jefferson City, MO. This is location info. Could be part of About the role or a short paragraph. Not a heading.
- "Why You’ll Love This Position" then description: "The senior structural designer is responsible for structural design computations and sketches for any type of highway structure, preparing bridge memoranda, layouts and preliminary cost estimates, cost estimating, writing special provisions and checking work performed by others. Responsibilities are performed under moderate supervision."
That's a prose description. Could be About the role.
- "What You’ll Do" then bullet-like sentences: Actually it's a paragraph with multiple sentences describing duties. We need to turn list of duties into
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.

Responsibilities are performed under moderate supervision."
That's a prose description. Could be About the role.
- "What You’ll Do" then bullet-like sentences: Actually it's a paragraph with multiple sentences describing duties. We need to turn list of duties into - . The text: "Performs structural design computations and produces sketches for any type of highway structure, including dynamic, hydraulic and seismic design for new structures, widening and major rehabilitation of existing structures, and staged construction. Checks design and detailing performed by others for conformance to standards, procedures, accepted practices, and for computational errors. Provides guidance to structural technicians and designers preparing plans for projects; provides advice and answers questions concerning constructability, structural theory, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials codes and design manuals to detailers and other structural designers. Determines material composition and geometric layout of proposed structures to produce the proper and most economical layout by determining items such as length, spans, and type of structures and foundations. Prepares bridge memorandums, writes special provisions, and prepares preliminary cost estimates for proposed structures."
We can split each sentence into a list item.
- "All You Need For Success" then requirements: Bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering from an ABET-accredited college or university curriculum. Four years of experience in civil engineering with a demonstrated proficiency in structural design or engineering applications. An advanced degree in civil engineering with an emphasis in structural design or engineering applications may be substituted for a maximum of two years of experience.
That's qualifications/requirements. Could be Requirements section.
- "Special Working Conditions" then a paragraph: "A postsecondary degree is the best measure to ensure candidates possess required engineering knowledge, including in applied physics and mathematics, drafting, engineering processes and procedures, project management, industry ethical standards, and analyzing and modeling data." This is more like a note; could be part of Requirements or Qualifications.
- "Preferred Qualifications" then: "MoDOT is looking for team members who align with our preferred employee qualities. Please click the following link to learn more about our preferred employee qualities. Preferred Employee Qualities | Missouri Department of Transportation". That's a link; we should not include application instructions or links? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is a link to preferred employee qualities; it's not exactly application instruction but it's a link. Might be considered navigation? Probably we should drop it as it's not substantive content (just a link). The substantive part: "MoDOT is looking for team members who align with our preferred employee qualities." That's a statement; we could keep that as a sentence under Preferred Qualifications section. But we need to decide if we include a Preferred Qualifications section. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Preferred Qualifications is not in that list; but we could treat it as Qualifications or Skills. However we have a separate "Qualifications" heading allowed. We could put preferred qualifications under Qualifications. But we already have requirements. Could combine.
- "More Reasons To Love This Position" then: "MoDOT offers an excellent benefits package that includes a defined pension plan, generous amounts of leave and holiday time, and eligibility for health insurance coverage. Visit our CAREERS page to explore all we have to offer. Your total compensation is more than the dollars you receive in your paycheck. To help demonstrate the value of working for MoDOT, we have created an interactive Total Compensation Calculator. This tool provides a comprehensive view of benefits and more that are offered to prospective employees. The Total Compensation Calculator and other applicant resources can be found HERE. At MoDOT you will play a key role in maintaining the seventh largest highway system in the United States. We value team players who are open-minded and work well with others to accomplish goals and fulfill our mission of safety, service, and stability. We see the growth of our team members as an investment, both in MoDOT's future and yours. If you're looking for diverse opportunities, challenging work, and a flexible environment, we want to talk to you about joining our winning team. MoDOT operates on shared values and your success in our organization depends upon modeling these values. CLICK HERE to view our mission, values, and tangible results. If you embrace these values, we welcome your application. If You Have Questions About This Position, Please Contact cohrmocareers@modot.mo.gov"
We need to remove application instructions (contact email, click here, visit our careers page, etc). Also remove boilerplate like navigation. Keep substantive info: benefits package description (defined pension plan, generous leave and holiday time, eligibility for health insurance). Also mention total compensation calculator (but that's a resource; maybe we can keep mention but not the link). Also mention role in maintaining highway system, values, mission, etc. That's more about benefits/culture. Could be Benefits section.
We should not include the link or "Click here" or "Visit our CAREERS page". Also remove the email contact line.
Thus we will produce sections:
- About the role (maybe combine Why You’ll Love This Position and short description). Could be a paragraph summarizing.
- Responsibilities (list of duties from What You’ll Do).
- Requirements (or Qualifications) containing education/experience and special working conditions note.
- Benefits (benefits package, total compensation calculator mention, role in highway system, values/mission). Might be too much but okay.
We must not create Pay or Schedule sections.
We must not repeat job title.
We must not include metadata like Job Location as heading; we can include location in a paragraph maybe under About the role.
We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail.
Let's extract exact sentences.
About the role: The "Why You’ll Love This Position" paragraph: "The senior structural designer is responsible for structural design computations and sketches for any type of highway structure, preparing bridge memoranda, layouts and preliminary cost estimates, cost estimating, writing special provisions and checking work performed by others. Responsibilities are performed under moderate supervision."
We could keep that as a paragraph.
Also maybe include Job Location: "Job Location: Central Office, 105 West Capitol Avenue, Jefferson City, MO." Could be a short paragraph.
We could combine them.
Responsibilities: list each sentence:
1. Performs structural design computations and produces sketches for any type of highway structure, including dynamic, hydraulic and seismic design for new structures, widening and major rehabilitation of existing structures, and staged construction.
2. Checks design and detailing performed by others for conformance to standards, procedures, accepted practices, and for computational errors.
3. Provides guidance to structural technicians and designers preparing plans for projects; provides advice and answers questions concerning constructability, structural theory, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials codes and design manuals to detailers and other structural designers.
4. Determines material composition and geometric layout of proposed structures to produce the proper and most economical layout by determining items such as length, spans, and type of structures and foundations.
5. Prepares bridge memorandums, writes special provisions, and prepares preliminary cost estimates for proposed structures.
That's all.
Requirements/Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering from an ABET-accredited college or university curriculum.
- Four years of experience in civil engineering with a demonstrated proficiency in structural design or engineering applications.
- An advanced degree in civil engineering with an emphasis in structural design or engineering applications may be substituted for a maximum of two years of experience.
- Special Working Conditions note: "A postsecondary degree is the best measure to ensure candidates possess required engineering knowledge, including in applied physics and mathematics, drafting, engineering processes and procedures, project management, industry ethical standards, and analyzing and modeling data."
Also Preferred Qualifications statement: "MoDOT is looking for team members who align with our preferred employee qualities." Could be included under Requirements or maybe a separate "Preferred Qualifications" but not in allowed headings. Could be part of Requirements as a note.
We could create a section "Qualifications" and include both required and preferred.
But we already have "Requirements" heading allowed. Use that for required qualifications. Preferred could be under same section as a note.
Benefits section: extract substantive benefits:
- MoDOT offers an excellent benefits package that includes a defined pension plan, generous amounts of leave and holiday time, and eligibility for health insurance coverage.
- Your total compensation is more than the dollars you receive in your paycheck.
- To help demonstrate the value of working for MoDOT, we have created an interactive Total Compensation Calculator. This tool provides a comprehensive view of benefits and more that are offered to prospective employees.
- At MoDOT you will play a key role in maintaining the seventh largest highway system in the United States.
- We value team players who are open-minded and work well with others to accomplish goals and fulfill our mission of safety, service, and stability.
- We see the growth of our team members as an investment, both in MoDOT's future and yours.
- If you're looking for diverse opportunities, challenging work, and a flexible environment, we want to talk to you about joining our winning team.
- MoDOT operates on shared values and your success in our organization depends upon modeling these values.
We should keep these as prose or list? Could be a
- for each benefit point. But the instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a list for benefits.
We must not include links or calls to action like "Visit our CAREERS page", "CLICK HERE", "Total Compensation Calculator and other applicant resources can be found HERE", "If You Have Questions About This Position, Please Contact cohrmocareers@modot.mo.gov". Remove those.
Also remove "More Reasons To Love This Position" heading; we just use Benefits.
