About the role
with a. - Responsibilities: list of duties from "What You’ll Be Challenged To Do" and the bullet list after "In this capacity, the successful candidate will be responsible for the following:" We'll extract each bullet. - Requirements/Education/Experience: "Education | Experience: What You Will Bring To Our Firm" includes bullet list: Bachelor's degree, PE license, 10+ years, experience with State DOT, proficiency in MicroStation, OpenRoads, MS Office, strong organizational, written, verbal communication, ability to work in team, self-starter, etc. - Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can combine? The instruction: Use headings for sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. We have: - Pay: "Compensation The salary range for this role is $100,000 - $140,000. Salary is dependent upon experience and geographic location." So we have Pay section. - Benefits: list: Hybrid work environment, Comprehensive benefits package..., Tax-deferred 401(k), Competitive PTO, Tuition reimbursement, Commitment to professional development..., Incentive compensation. - Schedule: maybe "Core Business Hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM" and "Hybrid work model, requiring a minimum of 3 days of onsite office attendance." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with those details. - About the role: we have introductory paragraph. - Responsibilities: we have list. - Requirements: maybe education/experience. - Qualifications: maybe same as requirements? Could separate: Requirements = education/experience; Qualifications = technical skills (MicroStation, etc.) but we can also put under Skills. Better to follow typical: Requirements = education/experience; Qualifications = licenses/certifications; Skills = technical/proficiency. But we can decide to include sections that have content. Let's extract: About the role paragraph: "As GFT continues to grow and expand, we are seeking an emerging Sr. Highway/Roadway Project Engineer to support our Transportation group in Kansas City, MO; St. Louis, MO; Witchita, KS; or Omaha, NE. This role follows a hybrid work model, requiring a minimum of 3 days of onsite office attendance. Working on the roadway team at GFT offers the opportunity to engage in transformative projects that enhance transportation infrastructure and improve community connectivity. Whether working on highways and bridges or traffic engineering, our team excels in resilient, sustainable design and construction, delivering innovative solutions that address the complexities of modern, multimodal roadway systems and ensure safe, efficient, and reliable travel for all. Explore some of our signature roadway projects here." We'll put that as About the role. Responsibilities: list items from "What You’ll Be Challenged To Do" and the bullet list. Let's extract bullet points: - Leads the development of project design concepts and criteria and researches large or complex project elements. - Responsible for interpreting, organizing, executing, and coordinating large or complex engineering assignments. - Responsible to work within the project team with experience for Roadway and to gain a working knowledge of other disciplines such as transit, bridge, geotech, civil/site and environmental. - Acts as technical specialist in the development of proposals. - May develop basic to moderate scopes of work and cost estimates independently. - Provides management of Roadway personnel for a project. - Provides QA/QC reviews. - May supervise a staff of engineers and other technical specialists. - Responsible for working closely with clients for development of technically sound solutions and client satisfaction. - Responsible to work on multiple concurrent assignments and time management. - Responsible for executing the project scope of work and managing the technical development of the work and maintaining the budget and schedule. - Responsible for obtaining the permits necessary to complete the project and to provide interaction with the permitting agencies. - Other duties as assigned. Also earlier paragraph: "You’ll support project delivery for state, municipal, and other public- sector clients while working under the guidance of project managers. In this role, you’ll take ownership of design tasks, prepare plans and technical documentation, and support project management activities to meet our high standards for delivering projects on time, within scope, and in alignment with established quality expectations. You’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, mentor junior staff, and continue developing your technical expertise and client-facing skills within the transportation infrastructure sector." We could incorporate those as responsibilities too, but they are more general. We'll include them as part of responsibilities paragraph or as bullet points? Probably as prose under responsibilities. We'll create a
- for the bullet list; and maybe a
for the preceding prose. Requirements: Education/Experience bullet list: - Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from an ABET-accredited university. - Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in Kansas, Missouri, or Nebraska; additional state licensure is a plus. - 10+ years of engineering experience with broad knowledge of transportation design and strong technical skills in highway design. - Experience with State DOT and/or local municipality/county design projects. - Proficient in MicroStation, OpenRoads, and Microsoft Office products. - Strong organizational, written, and verbal communication skills. - Ability to work in a team environment, self-starter, demonstrated organization skills, team player, and willingness to learn. We could separate Skills: maybe the proficiency in software and communication skills. Qualifications: maybe the PE license and years experience? But we already have PE license in requirements. Could treat Requirements as education/experience, Qualifications as licensure and experience, Skills as technical proficiency. But to avoid duplication, we can assign: - Requirements: Education (Bachelor's degree) and Experience (10+ years, DOT experience). - Qualifications: PE license (active in KS, MO, NE; additional state licensure plus). - Skills: Proficiency in MicroStation, OpenRoads, MS Office; strong organizational, written, verbal communication; ability to work in team, self-starter, etc. But the instruction says to include a section only when posting has real specific content. We have content for each. Pay: salary range. Benefits: list. Schedule: hybrid work model (minimum 3 days onsite), core business hours 8-5. We'll output HTML fragment with sections in order: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Make sure not to repeat job title as heading. We'll not include any boilerplate like EEO, etc. Now craft HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's write:
