We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraphs about company, then description of role. We need headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if real specific content. We have responsibilities listed under "Key Responsibilities" with bullet points. We have "Required Skills & Experience" and "Preferred Skills & Experience". Also "Leadership Competencies". Also "Success Metrics". Also "Other Details" with location, reports to, travel, direct reports. Also "Why Join Kelso Industries?" with growth opportunities, culture, impact, competitive compensation & benefits, diversity statement. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include. - About the role: could include introductory description of role (the paragraph after "The Senior Vice President of Construction is responsible..."). - Responsibilities: the bullet list under "Key Responsibilities". - Requirements: could combine "Required Skills & Experience" and maybe "Preferred Skills & Experience"? But we have separate headings for Requirements and Qualifications and Skills. The instruction: 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 preserve all substantive info, not invent. So we need to include sections for which we have content. We have content for: - About the role: yes. - Responsibilities: yes. - Requirements: we have "Required Skills & Experience". That's requirements. - Qualifications: maybe we could treat "Preferred Skills & Experience" as qualifications? Or we could have a Qualifications section for required qualifications? But we already used Requirements for required skills. Could also have Qualifications for preferred? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Required and Preferred into Requirements? But we have separate headings allowed; we could have Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). Or we could have Skills section for leadership competencies? Hmm. We also have "Leadership Competencies" which could be under Skills. We have "Success Metrics" which is not a standard heading; maybe we could omit or incorporate into Responsibilities? But we must preserve all substantive info; we cannot omit success metrics. Could we put them under a section like "Requirements"? Not appropriate. Could we create a custom heading? Not allowed; only those headings. So we need to fit success metrics into one of the allowed headings. Perhaps under "Responsibilities" as outcomes? Or under "Skills"? Not ideal. But we could create a section "Qualifications" and put success metrics there? Not really. Alternatively, we could treat "Success Metrics" as part of "About the role" or "Responsibilities". The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine success metrics into Responsibilities as bullet points about expected outcomes. That would preserve info. Similarly, "Other Details" (location, reports to, travel, direct reports) could go under "About the role" or maybe a separate section? Not in allowed headings. Could we put them under "About the role"? Yes, we can add a paragraph after role description. "Why Join Kelso Industries?" includes growth opportunities, culture, impact, competitive compensation & benefits, diversity statement. This could go under "Benefits" (competitive compensation & benefits) and maybe also "About the role"? But we have a Benefits heading allowed. So we can put benefits there. Also we could put culture/growth/impact under "About the role" or maybe a separate section? Not allowed. Could we put them under "About the role" as well? That would be mixing. But we can include a paragraph about why join under About the role? Might be okay. We must not create Pay or Schedule sections unless posting actually states them. No explicit pay or schedule given, so omit those. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting includes a diversity statement at end: "Kelso Industries celebrates diversity..." That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove it per instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should drop that diversity statement. Also remove "Recruiter Notice: We respectfully ask external recruiters..." that's boilerplate? It's a notice to recruiters; maybe considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but still maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The recruiter notice is not exactly those categories, but it's a notice to recruiters; could be considered application instructions? It's about not submitting candidates. Might be considered application instruction. Safer to remove it. Also remove "Together We Build – Partnership, Innovation, Excellence, and Safety At Kelso Industries, 5,000+ employees across 40+ companies work together to deliver exceptional HVAC, mechanical, plumbing, refrigeration, and electrical solutions nationwide. Join us to grow your career, make an impact, and be part of a team where innovation, excellence, and safety come first." That's introductory marketing; could be considered About the role? It's about company. Might be okay to keep as part of About the role. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can keep company overview as part of About the role. Now craft HTML. Structure:

We also need to include other details like location, reports to, travel, direct reports. Could add to About the role paragraph. Also success metrics: we could add to Responsibilities as bullet points about expected outcomes, or maybe to Qualifications? Better to add to Responsibilities as expected outcomes. Let's extract bullet points. From "Key Responsibilities": - P&L Ownership & Operational Leadership - Lead and manage the construction portfolio’s $1.4B P&L, ensuring predictable financial performance across 35+ operating companies - Directly oversee 5 Divisional Vice Presidents, with responsibility for expanding leadership capacity as the business grows - Drive operational excellence, margin improvement, and disciplined project execution across all construction divisions - Growth Strategy & Organic Expansion - Develop and execute strategies to achieve consistent organic growth across all construction operating companies - Identify new market opportunities, service line expansions, and operational enhancements that drive year‑over‑year revenue and EBITDA growth - Profitability & Continuous Improvement - Identify and implement initiatives to increase profitability through improved processes, labor productivity, project controls, and cost management - Champion continuous improvement methodologies and standardization across all construction businesses - Financial Partnership & Forecasting Accuracy - Partner closely with Finance to improve budgeting, forecasting, and financial visibility - Enhance CRM utilization, pipeline management, and backlog reporting to increase forecasting accuracy and operational planning - Standardization & Best Practices - Practices - Establish and enforce enterprise‑wide best practices for project management, estimating, scheduling, safety, procurement, and operational reporting - Build scalable operating procedures that unify historically decentralized businesses - M&A Integration Leadership - Lead construction‑focused operating companies through the post‑acquisition integration process, ensuring smooth transitions, cultural alignment, and rapid adoption of enterprise standards - Evaluate construction capabilities and risks during diligence for future acquisitions - Enterprise Scaling & Support Function Alignment - Partner with functional leaders (Finance, HR, Accounting, Safety, IT) to design and scale support structures that meet the needs of a rapidly growing, multi‑division business - Ensure operating companies receive consistent, high‑quality support as the enterprise expands - Culture/Safety Leadership - Maintain and build upon Kelso’s incredible culture by ensuring that employees feel valued, respected and motivated to give their best every day - Keep relentless focus on Kelso’s core values—Partnership, Innovation, Excellence, and Safety— and ensure that all leaders stay true to them - Champion a world‑class safety culture across all job sites and operating companies - Partner with the corporate safety function to ensure compliance with safety standards, regulatory requirements, and proactive risk mitigation practices Now "Success Metrics": - Improved profitability and margin consistency across all divisions - Increased accuracy of forecasting, budgeting, and pipeline visibility - Successful integration of newly acquired companies with minimal disruption - Adoption of standardized operating procedures across all construction businesses - Sustained organic growth across divisions - Strong safety performance and reduced incident rates - Scalable support functions aligned with enterprise growth We can add these as bullet points under Responsibilities (maybe as outcomes) or under a separate section but we don't have a heading for metrics. Could add to Responsibilities as additional bullets. Now "Required Skills & Experience": - Proven experience managing a very large P&L (hundreds of millions to >$1B) - Significant M&A integration experience, ideally across multiple acquisitions - Deep construction industry expertise, preferably within mechanical, electrical, or plumbing sectors - Demonstrated ability to standardize operations across decentralized or multi‑site businesses "Preferred Skills & Experience": - Experience in a rapid‑growth or private‑equity‑backed environment - Entrepreneurial background or experience working within an acquired company - Strong change‑management capability and comfort operating in dynamic, evolving environments "Leadership Competencies" (six): - Growth Mindset — Learns, adapts, and grows through curiosity and resilience - Decisiveness — Makes timely, informed and effective decisions to move forward - Builds People — Invests in the development of others through coaching and mentoring - Collaboration — Builds trust and partnerships to achieve shared success - Communication — Turns ideas into action through clear, authentic messaging - Emotional Intelligence — Leads with self-awareness, empathy, and calm under pressure Now "Other Details": - Location: SLC, UT or another major hub‑airport city - Reports To: Chief Operating Officer - Travel: 30–40% - Direct Reports: 5 Divisional Vice Presidents (with continued expansion expected) Now "Why Join Kelso Industries?": - Growth Opportunities: Develop new skills, take on exciting challenges, and advance your career in meaningful ways. - Company Culture: You’ll thrive in an environment that supports your growth, values your contributions, and makes work fulfilling and enjoyable. - Impact: Your work directly contributes to meaningful outcomes, allowing you to see the difference you make and feel a sense of purpose every day. - Competitive Compensation & Benefits: You’ll be rewarded fairly for your contributions while enjoying perks that enhance your financial security, health, and overall well-being. We should exclude the diversity statement. Now craft HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters like &, <, >. Use & for &, etc. Let's produce. We'll have:
