Senior Traffic Engineer
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: 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") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes:
- Company Description (intro about AECOM)
- Job Description (role description, responsibilities)
- Qualifications (minimum and preferred)
- Additional Information (relocation not an option, sponsorship not available, Day 1 onboarding, compensation range)
- About AECOM (more about company)
- What makes AECOM a great place to work (benefits/culture)
- Compensation (range given)
- Possibly Benefits (they mention benefits in AECOM section)
- Schedule? Not mentioned.
- Pay? Already compensation.
We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include content from company description, job description responsibilities, qualifications, additional info (relocation, sponsorship, onboarding), about AECOM, what makes AECOM a great place to work, compensation range, benefits (list from AECOM benefits). Also maybe "Work Location Model: Hybrid" is metadata; could be included in a short p.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is Senior Traffic Engineer. Not to be used as heading.
We need to use
for section headings. Choose appropriate headings: About the company? Could be "About AECOM". Responsibilities? Could be "Responsibilities". Requirements? Could be "Qualifications". Benefits? Could be "Benefits". Pay? Could be "Pay". Schedule? Not present, so omit.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. So only include sections where we have substantive content.
Let's extract content:

We need to remove EEO boilerplate. So we should strip the sentence about Equal Opportunity Employer and confidentiality according to EEO guidelines. Also remove any other boilerplate like "At AECOM, we are committed to maintaining a secure and trustworthy recruitment process..." maybe that's not boilerplate? It's about fraudulent hiring activity; could be considered boilerplate but it's substantive? It's a statement about recruitment process. Might be okay to keep? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The sentence about fraudulent hiring activity could be considered legal/scamming warning. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove it. Also "Offered rate of compensation will be based on individual education, qualifications, experience, and work location." That's substantive about compensation determination.
We also have "ReqID: J10160362 Business Line: Transportation Business Group: DCS Strategic Business Unit: East Career Area: Engineering Work Location Model: Hybrid Compensation: USD 140000 - USD 167000 - yearly". This is metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short p or drop it. We already have compensation range elsewhere. Work Location Model: Hybrid could be included in a short p.
We need to avoid repeating compensation info multiple times. We have compensation range in Additional Information and also in metadata. We'll include Pay section with the range.
We need Benefits section: list of benefits from AECOM benefits paragraph.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. So we will have sections: About AECOM (or Company Description?), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Work Location (maybe). But we need to follow the suggested headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we can use any of those headings as appropriate. The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we must use exactly those; we can use those as examples. So we can choose headings that match content.
We have company description (maybe "About AECOM") but that's not About the role. Could use "About AECOM" as heading. That's fine.
Responsibilities: we have list of activities.
Qualifications: we have minimum and preferred.
Skills: maybe we could extract skills from qualifications (communication, time management, etc.) but we already have qualifications. Could combine.
Benefits: list.
Pay: compensation range.

We'll start with a

then ... but we also have separate AECOM description later. Might be redundant. Could combine.
Better: Use

and include the company description paragraph (first big paragraph) plus the later AECOM description
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
