We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. The posting includes Salary Range: $75,850 - $126,585. That's Pay. Schedule? Not mentioned explicitly. So we include Pay but not Schedule.
We need sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (list), Qualifications (maybe education?), Skills (maybe advanced Excel etc), Benefits (list), Pay (salary range). We must not create sections with placeholder.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract content:

That's about the role.
Responsibilities: bullet list after "As a Project Controls Specialist, you will:" then list items.
Let's extract each bullet:
- Work directly with Project Managers, Program Managers, and Senior Project Control Specialists to support in the execution of all project controls processes and systems on large-scale delivery projects from proposal to close-out phases.
- Work with the Project Manager to create Project Management Plans for project team application.

- Implementation and monitoring of project document structure to ensure QA/QC compliance, logical tier creation, and coordination of project files through administrative team. This includes hard copy, electronic, and SharePoint filing.
That's responsibilities.
Requirements: after "Requirements:" we have: "Self-motivated, minimal supervision, detail oriented professional with 4-8 years in planning/scheduling, cost control, and project administration using MS Project, Excel, Word, and Outlook. Advanced skills in Excel and advanced spreadsheet functions preferred."
Then "Education: Associates" degree from a two-year college in finance, business, or project management desirable."
Then "Experience: Ability to communicate effectively, orally and in writing. Demonstrate team collaboration, communication, organization, and self-prioritization skills. Must be: dependable and keep required work schedules. able to work effectively in a team environment and consistently maintain a professional and respectful demeanor/attitude with co-workers, clients, vendors, and regulatory agencies. a problem solver with the ability to find resolutions. detail orientated with the ability to catch and correct one's own errors, as well as those of others when proofreading."
Then "Following an offer, candidates will be required to satisfactorily complete employment reference checks, verification of professional licensure and/or educational credentials, a motor vehicle report (MVR), and a comprehensive background check."
We need to separate Requirements, Qualifications, Skills maybe.
We can treat "Requirements" as the experience/skills needed (4-8 years, MS Project etc). "Qualifications" could be education (Associates degree). "Skills" could be communication, team collaboration, problem solving, detail oriented, etc. But we must not create sections with filler. We have actual content for each.
We need to decide what goes where. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map:
- About the role: intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe the experience/technical requirements (4-8 years, MS Project, Excel etc).
- Qualifications: education (Associates degree).
- Skills: soft skills (communication, team collaboration, organization, problem solving, detail oriented, dependable, etc).
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: not present, omit.
We must not include sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, Equal Opportunity, Notice to Third Party Agencies, etc. Also remove "Move Forward with Kleinfelder:" paragraph about company description? That might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive about company. However it's not a section heading; we could include it in About the role? But we already have About the role intro. The "Move Forward with Kleinfelder:" paragraph is more about company mission; could be considered part of About the role or maybe we could add a separate section like "About the company" but not in allowed headings. Since only allowed headings are those, we could incorporate that paragraph into About the role or maybe omit as boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Move Forward with Kleinfelder:" is not exactly legal boilerplate; it's a description of the company. Might be okay to keep as part of About the role. But we already have About the role covering role description; we could extend it.
Similarly "Progress with an Employer that Values You" paragraph about inclusive organization, benefits, etc. That includes benefits list later. The benefits list is already captured. The paragraph about inclusive organization is EEO-related; we should remove as EEO boilerplate. So we will omit that paragraph.
Also "Equal Opportunity: ..." remove.
Also "NOTICE TO THIRD PARTY AGENCIES" remove.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only.
