Site Civil Engineering Intern (Tennessee Universities)
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse posting:
- Intro: Goodwyn Mills Cawood, LLC (GMC) is one of the largest... recognized... 27 offices... Who knows where this road may take you?! GMC has an opening for Site Civil Engineering Intern to support on-going projects in the Nashville, TN office. This internship will provide students with the opportunity to prepare reports, site plans, permit documents, construction schedules, and work on a variety of projects and assignments. Managers and colleagues will assist to ensure the intern's development and learning process.
- Then "Essential Functions And Responsibilities Include" followed by a long list of bullet-like sentences (no bullet markers). We need to turn into - list.
- Then "Minimum Qualifications" list: Pursing a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering from ABET accredited university; Working knowledge of AutoCAD software. Experience with Civil3D is preferred; A/E or EPC experience a plus; Foundations of Engineering Certificate (EIT) a plus.
- Then "Travel Requirements FIELD (20%) AND OFFICE (80%) This position requires work to be performed in an office environment and in the field. Work done in the field may consist of exposure to various types of weather and temperatures. Engineers may also be exposed to pollutants, chemicals, insects, and possibly water-borne pathogens, Employees are required to wear appropriate protective clothing and gear when performing fieldwork."
- Then "Equal Opportunity Employer/Disability/Veterans" (boilerplate to remove).
- Then "About GMC" paragraph describing firm.
We need sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (maybe travel requirements?), Qualifications (minimum qualifications), Skills (maybe AutoCAD, Civil3D, etc.), Benefits (none mentioned), Pay (none), Schedule (none). We should only include sections with real specific content.
We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (essential functions). Qualifications (minimum qualifications). Skills (maybe we can extract from qualifications: AutoCAD, Civil3D, EIT, etc.) Could also be part of Qualifications. But we can create Skills section listing technical skills: AutoCAD, Civil3D (preferred), Foundations of Engineering Certificate (EIT) (plus). Also maybe A/E or EPC experience a plus.
Travel requirements could be under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Work Environment" but not in allowed headings. We could put travel info under Requirements (maybe as a subsection). Since we only have allowed headings, we can put travel info under Requirements (maybe as a paragraph). Or we could put under Responsibilities? Better to put under Requirements.
Benefits, Pay, Schedule: none specific, so omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills.
Check if we need Requirements separate from Qualifications? The posting has "Minimum Qualifications". Could treat as Qualifications. Requirements maybe travel requirements? But we can combine travel into Qualifications or Responsibilities? Probably better to have a Requirements section for travel/field work. But we have only Qualifications heading; we could also have Requirements heading for travel. Let's see: The posting includes "Travel Requirements FIELD (20%) AND OFFICE (80%)". That's a requirement. So we can have a Requirements section with that paragraph.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills.
Now we need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract each.
About the role: The introductory paragraph(s) before Essential Functions. Let's capture:
"Goodwyn Mills Cawood, LLC (GMC) is one of the largest, privately-held architecture and engineering firms in the Southeast, recently recognized by ENR as Southeast’s Design Firm of the Year for 2024. We have 27 offices located throughout Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Who knows where this road may take you?! GMC has an opening for Site Civil Engineering Intern to support on-going projects in the Nashville, TN office. This internship will provide students with the opportunity to prepare reports, site plans, permit documents, construction schedules, and work on a variety of projects and assignments. Managers and colleagues will assist to ensure the intern's development and learning process."
We should keep that as
.
Responsibilities: list of items after "Essential Functions And Responsibilities Include". Let's extract each sentence separated by line breaks? The text:
"Ability to apply technical skills to routine projects with minimal supervision
Can direct technicians for production of engineering documents for routine projects accurately and efficiently
Executes cross discipline checks and coordination
Reviews complete project documents for conformity and quality assurance
Recognizes and reports risk management issues to Project Engineer as appropriate

We need to turn each into
- . Some sentences have two parts separated by period; we can keep as is.
Now Requirements: travel requirements paragraph.
"Travel Requirements FIELD (20%) AND OFFICE (80%) This position requires work to be performed in an office environment and in the field. Work done in the field may consist of exposure to various types of weather and temperatures. Engineers may also be exposed to pollutants, chemicals, insects, and possibly water-borne pathogens, Employees are required to wear appropriate protective clothing and gear when performing fieldwork."
We should keep as
. Possibly split into two sentences but fine.
Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications list.
"Pursing a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering from ABET accredited university
Working knowledge of AutoCAD software. Experience with Civil3D is preferred
A/E or EPC experience a plus
Foundations of Engineering Certificate (EIT) a plus"

Skills: maybe we can list technical skills: AutoCAD, Civil3D (preferred), Foundations of Engineering Certificate (EIT), A/E or EPC experience (plus). But some of these are already in qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could still list them under Skills as they are skills. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we list them again under Skills, we are duplicating content, which might be okay as long as we preserve. But better to not duplicate? The instruction doesn't forbid duplication, but says preserve all substantive information; not to invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is not summarizing away, it's repeating. Might be acceptable but could be considered redundant. However, we need to decide if we need a Skills section. The posting does not explicitly have a "Skills" heading; but we can create one if there if we have specific content. The content we have for skills is already in Qualifications. Could we treat Qualifications as both qualifications and skills? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we can combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But we have headings fixed; we cannot create new headings. We could omit Skills section if no specific skill content beyond qualifications. However, we have AutoCAD, Civil3D, EIT, A/E or EPC experience. Those are qualifications/skills. Could we put them under Qualifications only and omit Skills? That would preserve all info (they are in Qualifications). The Skills section would be empty if we don't add content; we must not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we should omit Skills section if we don't have distinct content not already covered. But we could still include Skills section with the same items; that would be duplication but not filler. However, the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Having both Qualifications and Skills might be thin. Better to omit Skills.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications.
Check if we need Benefits, Pay, Schedule: none, omit.

Make sure to preserve punctuation exactly. Also note the typo "Pursing" should stay as is.
Now check for any other substantive info: The line "Managers and colleagues will assist to ensure the intern's development and learning process." is in About the role; we included.
Also "Who knows where this road may take you?!" is part of About the role; we included.
Now ensure we removed boilerplate: Equal Opportunity Employer/Disability/Veterans removed. Also removed "About GMC" paragraph? Wait, we have "About GMC" paragraph after EEO. That is substantive description of firm. Should we include that? It's about the company, not the role. The instruction: "About the role" heading is for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. The "About GMC" is about the firm; could be considered part of About the role? Possibly we could include it under About the role as additional info. The posting includes a paragraph about GMC after EEO. That is substantive info about the firm. Should we preserve it? Yes, preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that paragraph somewhere. Where? Could be part of About the role (makes sense). So we should append that paragraph to About the role.
Thus About the role will have two paragraphs: first intro, second about GMC.
Let's capture About GMC paragraph:
"About GMC We believe in community, collaboration, and using the power of creativity and hard work to make a difference. Whether designing schools, parks, hospitals and other commercial developments, or providing clean water, safe streets and restoring resilient environments, GMC takes great pride in serving our communities through the transformative work we do. Every project is guided by the foundational concept that communities are built by people, not companies, and we strive to serve our communities with quality, integrity, creativity and care. One of the Southeast’s most comprehensive multi-disciplined firms, GMC is equipped to provide all of the services associated with architecture, interior design, civil engineering, environmental services, landscape architecture, planning, transportation engineering, geotechnical engineering, electrical engineering, surveying and disaster recovery."
Note there is no space after "About GMC".
. Responsibilities: list of items after "Essential Functions And Responsibilities Include". Let's extract each sentence separated by line breaks? The text: "Ability to apply technical skills to routine projects with minimal supervision Can direct technicians for production of engineering documents for routine projects accurately and efficiently Executes cross discipline checks and coordination Reviews complete project documents for conformity and quality assurance Recognizes and reports risk management issues to Project Engineer as appropriate Assist in learning the needs of assigned clients Understand the profession’s ethical obligation to Client and the public welfare Assist with reviewing and defining scope of work issues with Consultants and Contractors Work across disciplines and office locations to fully utilize firm experiential knowledge.
