We need to output 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, EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description and extract content for each possible section. Let's identify sections: - About the role: The description includes "Job Description WSP is currently initiating a search for a Senior Technical Director - Electrical Engineering (Generation) to join our Houston, TX office. The candidate will be involved in projects with our Power & Energy Team and be a part of a growing organization that meets our client’s objectives and solves their challenges. This Opportunity Provide regional and/or multi-sector leadership to ensure electrical engineering subject matter, technical deliverables, infrastructure projects and programs are delivered with a level of quality that meets or exceeds acceptable industry standards for design, safety, and functionality." So we can put that as About the role. - Responsibilities: The "Your Impact" section lists many responsibilities. We'll extract bullet points. - Requirements: The "Who You Are Required Qualifications" includes required qualifications: Bachelor's degree, 15+ years experience, Engineer license, advanced proficiency, etc. - Qualifications: The "Preferred Qualifications" includes Master's degree. - Skills: Could include advanced proficiency with software, leadership, communication, analytical, etc. Might be overlapping with requirements. But we can separate: maybe "Skills" for technical and soft skills. - Benefits: The "About WSP" section mentions benefits: comprehensive suite of benefits including medical, dental, vision, disability, life, retirement savings. Also flexible workplace model. So we can include Benefits. - Pay: Not mentioned. No salary info. So we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So omit. We must not create sections with placeholder text. So only include sections with real content. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. We need to use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details as close as possible. Let's extract each piece. About the role prose: Combine sentences: "WSP is currently initiating a search for a Senior Technical Director - Electrical Engineering (Generation) to join our Houston, TX office. The candidate will be involved in projects with our Power & Energy Team and be a part of a growing organization that meets our client’s objectives and solves their challenges. This Opportunity Provide regional and/or multi-sector leadership to ensure electrical engineering subject matter, technical deliverables, infrastructure projects and programs are delivered with a level of quality that meets or exceeds acceptable industry standards for design, safety, and functionality." We need to ensure grammar: maybe keep as is. Responsibilities: The "Your Impact" paragraph is a long list of responsibilities separated by periods. We need to break into bullet points. Must preserve all detail; we can split each sentence into a bullet. Let's parse the "Your Impact" section: "Provide proactive and strategic process and people leadership for the design, implementation, and administration of engineering discipline’s project and program involvement within the organization. Lead the most complex and largest scale electrical engineering projects within the engineering discipline, ensuring contributors know what they are required to do and by when, preparing and overseeing relevant project budgets, monitoring internal and external events, tracking hours and expenses, ensuring satisfactory performance and profitability, and supervising subcontractors, contract work, and employees.

      under Responsibilities. Requirements: The "Who You Are Required Qualifications" paragraph includes multiple sentences. We'll break into bullet points. List: - Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. - 15+ years of relevant post education experience in electrical engineering and infrastructure design for capital projects in power generation, transmission, and distribution at a utility, industrial, or commercial scale. - Engineer license required (multi-state preferred). - Advanced proficiency with electrical engineering principles, practices, process, design/build, standard of care, and the application to permitting and project work-related issues. - Extensive advanced proficiency with infrastructure design. - Advanced knowledge of relevant engineering and electrical construction laws, codes, regulations, compliance practices, and record-keeping requirements, and the business impact upon the organization. - Demonstrated ability with establishing, implementing, and managing multiple larger-scale discipline-related programs, documents, projects, and practices for a line(s) of business. - Excellent leadership and interpersonal communication skills with the ability to manage staff, and effectively, persuasively, and tactfully interact with employees at all levels of the organization. - Strategic lateral thinking and strong analytical skills with attention to detail and prioritization of responsibilities in a pressure work environment. - Ability to elicit cooperation from a wide variety of sources, including senior management, clients, and company-wide staff, including those with whom no formal hierarchical relationship exits. - Strong ability to quickly adapt to change and demonstrate flexibility to a variety of schedules and hours to meet business needs. - Advanced knowledge and proficiency with office automation, discipline-specific design software (i.e., CADD, Aspen, CAPE, ETAP, WIN IGS, Inventor, AutoCADD electrical), technology, math principles, predictive models, spreadsheets, and tools used in the corporate environment. - Proven track record of upholding workplace safety and ability to abide by WSP’s health, safety and drug/alcohol and harassment policies. - Occasional travel may be required depending on project-specific requirements. We need to keep all details. Qualifications (Preferred): "Master’s Degree in Engineering." Skills: Could include leadership, communication, analytical, software proficiency, etc. But many of those are already in Requirements. However we can still create a Skills section for soft skills and technical skills not captured as requirements? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine Skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we already have Requirements and Qualifications sections. Skills could be redundant. Maybe we can omit Skills if not distinct. However we need to decide if we have substantive content for Skills beyond what's already covered. The posting mentions "Advanced proficiency with electrical engineering principles...", "Advanced knowledge of relevant engineering and electrical construction laws...", "Excellent leadership and interpersonal communication skills", "Strategic lateral thinking and strong analytical skills", "Ability to elicit cooperation", "Strong ability to quickly adapt to change", "Advanced knowledge and proficiency with office automation, discipline-specific design software...". These could be considered skills. But they are already in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could merge them into Requirements and not have a separate Skills section. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could omit Skills if it would be thin. However we still have Requirements and Qualifications separate; maybe we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they are distinct: Required vs Preferred. The instructions say use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should include Requirements and Qualifications as separate if they have content. Skills we could omit if not distinct. But we might still include Skills for things like leadership, communication, analytical, software proficiency that are not strictly qualifications but skills. However they are already listed under Required Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could still include Skills but ensure we don't repeat same content. Could we extract only those items that are explicitly skill-based and not already captured as degree/experience/license? For example: "Excellent leadership and interpersonal communication skills", "Strategic lateral thinking and strong analytical skills", "Ability to elicit cooperation", "Strong ability to quickly adapt to change", "Advanced knowledge and proficiency with office automation, discipline-specific design software". Those are skills. But they are also in Required Qualifications. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we put them in Skills, we would be duplicating content (still preserving). Duplication is not prohibited explicitly, but we should avoid unnecessary repetition? Not explicitly forbidden. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Duplication could make sections thin? Not sure. Better to keep Requirements and Qualifications as is, and omit Skills to avoid thin section. But we need to check if there is any skill content not captured elsewhere: The "Your Impact" includes leadership, etc. But those are responsibilities. So Skills may be covered. Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. Now Benefits: From About WSP: "WSP provides a flexible and agile workplace model while meeting client needs. Employees are also afforded a comprehensive suite of benefits including medical, dental, vision, disability, life, and retirement savings focused on providing health and financial stability throughout the employee’s career." We can make a bullet list of benefits: medical, dental, vision, disability, life, retirement savings. Also flexible and agile workplace model. We'll put as
