We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for 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, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - Intro about Arup purpose etc. That's about the company, maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be description of role. The posting starts with "Joining Arup ...". That's about company culture. Could be "About the role"? Might be better as "About the role" includes description of role and purpose. But we need to decide. We have sections: "The Opportunity" which lists responsibilities. Then "Is this role right for you?" which lists qualifications/requirements. Then "What We Offer You" which includes benefits, profit share, flexible working, hiring range (Pay). Also "Flexible Working" maybe schedule? There's also "Houston Hiring Range – Hiring Range - ..." which is pay. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine some. Let's extract substantive content: About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph about Arup's purpose and the role context: "Joining Arup Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world. At Arup, you belong to an extraordinary collective – in which we encourage individuality to thrive. Our strength comes from how we respect, share and connect our diverse experiences, perspectives and ideas. You will have the opportunity do socially useful work that has meaning – to Arup, to your career, to our members and to the clients and communities we serve. We are seeking an experienced Substation Project Engineer to support the successful execution of high-voltage and medium-voltage substation projects serving the Battery Energy Storage (BESS), Solar PV, Data Center, and Utility sectors. This position can be worked out of our Houston, Dallas, San Francisco, Los Angles or Austin offices." That seems appropriate for About the role. Responsibilities: The bullet list under "The Opportunity". Let's extract each sentence as list items. List: - Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering activities for new substations, expansions, upgrades and retrofit projects. - Develop and manage project scope, schedule, budget, deliverables and engineering execution plans. - Serve as the primary coordination point among electrical, civil, structural, protection and control, SCADA, telecommunications and other project disciplines. - Coordinate technical requirements, design inputs and project interfaces with clients, utilities, contractors, equipment vendors and other stakeholders. - Lead internal and external project meetings, document decisions and track action items through completion. - Review project specifications, design criteria, single-line diagrams, equipment layouts, grounding designs, protection and control drawings and other engineering deliverables. - Ensure consistency and proper interface management across all engineering disciplines. - Coordinate the preparation, review and issuance of drawings, calculations, technical specifications, reports and construction packages. - Support major equipment procurement, including technical specifications, bid evaluations, vendor drawing reviews and resolution of technical comments. - Coordinate equipment interfaces for transformers, circuit breakers, switchgear, instrument transformers, protection panels, control buildings and auxiliary systems. - Identify project risks, design conflicts, scope gaps and schedule constraints, and work with the project team to develop appropriate solutions. - Monitor engineering progress, budget performance, schedule milestones and changes in project scope. - Manage technical queries, requests for information, design changes and engineering documentation throughout the project lifecycle. - Support permitting, utility interconnection, construction, testing, commissioning and project closeout activities. - Participate in site visits, design reviews, constructability reviews and commissioning support, as required. - Ensure designs comply with applicable client requirements, utility standards, codes, regulations and industry best practices. That's responsibilities. Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The "Is this role right for you?" section lists qualifications. Let's parse: - Bachelor’s degree in engineering (preferably Electrical). - At least 10 years’ experience in 15kV through 345kV physical utility substation design and IEEE/ANSI standards. - Licensed Professional Engineer (PE). - Experience delivering substation projects through feasibility, detailed design, procurement, construction and commissioning. - Experience with utility, renewable energy, energy storage, industrial or data-center interconnection projects. - Familiarity with EPC, design-build and engineer-of-record delivery models. - Experience managing design changes and coordinating work within operating brownfield substations. - Project Management Professional designation or formal project management training is considered an asset. - Excellent communication skills — able to interact with clients, regulatory bodies, vendors, and internal stakeholders. - Ability to represent the company credibly. - Willingness to travel occasionally as needed (site visits, client/vendor meetings). - The ability to prioritize work effectively, manage deadlines and organization skills required for our rapidly changing environment. We could split into Requirements (education, experience, licensure) and Skills (communication, travel, prioritization). But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what to put where. The instructions: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple of those. We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Requirements (education, years experience, PE), Qualifications (maybe similar), Skills (communication, travel, prioritization). Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we have both headings allowed; we could put education/experience/licensure under Requirements, and the rest under Qualifications or Skills. However "Qualifications" often similar to Requirements. Might be better to put education/experience/PE under Requirements, and the rest under Skills (communication, travel, prioritization). But we also have "Project Management Professional designation or formal project management training is considered an asset." That's a qualification/skill. Let's decide: - Requirements: Bachelor’s degree in engineering (preferably Electrical); At least 10 years’ experience in 15kV through 345kV physical utility substation design and IEEE/ANSI standards; Licensed Professional Engineer (PE). - Qualifications: Experience delivering substation projects through feasibility, detailed design, procurement, construction and commissioning; Experience with utility, renewable energy, energy storage, industrial or data-center interconnection projects; Familiarity with EPC, design-build and engineer-of-record delivery models; Experience managing design changes and coordinating work within operating brownfield substations; Project Management Professional designation or formal project management training is considered an asset. - Skills: Excellent communication skills — able to interact with clients, regulatory bodies, vendors, and internal stakeholders; Ability to represent the company credibly; Willingness to travel occasionally as needed (site visits, client/vendor meetings); The ability to prioritize work effectively, manage deadlines and organization skills required for our rapidly changing environment. That seems reasonable. Benefits: From "What We Offer You" section: "Guided by our values, we provide an attractive total reward package that recognizes the contribution of each of our members to our shared success. As well as competitive, fair and equitable pay, we offer a career in which all of our members can belong, grow and thrive – through benefits that support health and wellbeing, a wide range of learning opportunities and many possibilities to have an impact through the work they do. We are owned in trust on behalf of our members, giving us the freedom, with personal responsibility, to set our own direction and choose work that aligns with our purpose and adds to Arup’s legacy. Our members collaborate on ambitious projects to deliver remarkable outcomes for our clients and communities. Profit Share is a key part of our reward, enabling members to share in the results of our collective efforts. Benefits at Work - At Arup, we have a comprehensive and valuable benefits program that works for our employees and their families while keeping costs low. These benefits provide health and welfare security for you as well as paid time off for rest and renewal. As a member of Arup, everyone shares in our success through a global profit share scheme (payments are dependent on the firm’s financial performance). Our Global Profit Share Plan (paid bi-annually) provides an opportunity for you to share in the success of the Firm. As a valued employee of Arup, you can also choose to participate in our 401(k) plan with up to 10% company match to help you save for your future Flexible Working - We believe that flexible arrangements create a more inclusive way of working that supports our diversity and the wellbeing of our people. Options for alternative schedules and the ability to work outside of the office for a portion of your workweek are available" We need to extract substantive benefits: health and welfare security, paid time off, global profit share scheme (paid bi-annually), 401(k) plan with up to 10% company match, flexible working options (alternative schedules, ability to work outside office portion of workweek), wide range of learning opportunities, many possibilities to have impact, profit share, etc. Also "competitive, fair and equitable pay" but that's pay. We should not include boilerplate like "We are owned in trust..." maybe still substantive? It's about ownership model; could be considered benefit? Might be okay but could be considered fluff. However instructions: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that as part of Benefits? It's about company structure, not exactly a benefit but could be part of "What We Offer". Might be okay to include as a paragraph under Benefits. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The benefits section includes "competitive, fair and equitable pay" which is pay, not benefit. We'll handle pay separately. Thus Benefits: list items: - Comprehensive and valuable benefits program (health and welfare security, paid time off) - Global profit share scheme (paid bi-annually) - 401(k) plan with up to 10% company match - Flexible working options (alternative schedules, ability to work outside office for portion of workweek) - Wide range of learning opportunities - Opportunities to have impact through work - Ownership in trust on behalf of members (freedom to set direction) - Collaboration on ambitious projects delivering remarkable outcomes Maybe too many. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can keep them as list items. Pay: From "Houston Hiring Range – Hiring Range - The good faith base salary hiring range for this job if performed in Houston is $135,000 – $175,000 per year. This range is commensurate with experience, educational background, and skill level. Benefits are not included in the base salary. Please note hiring ranges for candidates performing work outside of Houston will differ." We need to include Pay section with that range. The phrase "commensurate with experience" is filler? It's describing the range; but it's part of the description. The instruction says: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". The phrase "commensurate with experience" is considered filler? It's a generic phrase. However it's part of the sentence describing the range. Should we omit that phrase? We need to preserve ALL substantive information; but we must not include filler/placeholder text. The phrase "commensurate with experience" is arguably filler; but it's attached to the range. We could keep the range and maybe drop that phrase. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. It doesn't say we must remove filler within a sentence; but better to avoid it. We could rephrase: "The good faith base salary hiring range for this job if performed in Houston is $135,000 – $
