We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use for each heading. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Job: Field Engineer – Norfolk Naval Shipyard – Mid-Level Moffatt & Nichol specializes... Actually title: Field Engineer – Norfolk Naval Shipyard – Mid-Level (maybe). But we don't repeat title.
- About Moffatt & Nichol: description of firm.

We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe education/license), Skills (maybe communication etc), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to ensure each section has substantive content.
Let's extract:

Responsibilities: list of duties.
Requirements: maybe the qualifications like degree, experience, license, availability Dec 2026, etc.
Qualifications: maybe the specific qualifications like Professional Engineer license, etc. But there is overlap. We could treat Requirements as the bullet list of qualifications (degree, experience, license, availability, etc.) and Qualifications as maybe the specific credentials like PE license, TWIC, DBIDS, citizenship, etc. But we need to avoid duplication. Better to follow typical sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (education, experience, licensure), Skills (communication, documentation, independent/team work, driver license, etc.), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.

We could put Working Conditions and Physical Requirements under Responsibilities or About the role. Probably under Responsibilities as part of job context.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove those.
Now produce HTML fragment with

We could put Working Conditions and Physical Requirements under Responsibilities or About the role. Probably under Responsibilities as part of job context.

Now produce HTML fragment with headings and appropriate - for lists,
for prose.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.

We need to decide what goes into Requirements vs Skills. Requirements could be education, experience, license, availability, citizenship, background check, etc. Skills could be communication, documentation, teamwork, driver license, TWIC, DBIDS, etc. But driver license also appears in requirements. Might be okay to duplicate? Better to avoid duplication. Let's allocate:

- Minimum 5 years structural/civil engineering design or construction experience
- Professional Engineer license required
- Availability to commence employment December 2026
- Experience reviewing and understanding detailed construction plans

But some of these are also physical requirements. We'll include them under Skills.
Now Benefits list as above.
Pay: base salary range.
Schedule: description.
Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Reasonable accommodations may be made..." that's part of responsibilities but we can keep it? It's a statement about accommodations; it's substantive but maybe we can keep it as part of responsibilities. It's not boilerplate; it's a standard statement but it's part of posting. We can keep it.
Now produce HTML.
Check for any duplicated lines: we must avoid repeating same content.
Let's craft.
About the role paragraph: Summarize: Onsite Project Engineer / Site Engineer for Moffatt & Nichol supporting Dry Dock 3 modernization at Norfolk Naval Shipyard, providing on-site consultation, assisting designer of record, attending meetings, monitoring progress, QA, reviewing submittals, providing digital field reports, etc. Expected start Dec 2026, project through 2030, field work 5 days/week in Portsmouth, VA.
