Sr Project Engineer
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
Thus we need sections: About The Role (the description after "About The Role"), Responsibilities (the bullet list after "Key Responsibilities"), Qualifications (the "Qualifications" section with required and preferred), Pay (the pay range). Possibly also "Benefits" not present, so omit. "Schedule" not present. "Skills" not present as separate heading; we could include under Qualifications but not needed.
We must not repeat job title. The posting includes "Business Unit Overview", "Location Description", etc. Those are not headings we need to output; we can fold minor metadata into short p or drop. The instructions: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short p for location description maybe. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. The location description is substantive: "Post Consumer Brands corporate headquarters in Lakeville, Minnesota, is about 20 miles south of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Lakeville has all the benefits of smaller town living with access to everything a large metropolitan area has to offer. Join more than 400 team members collaborating on the two-building campus to help put breakfast on the tables of millions of consumers in North America." That's location description. Should we include it? It's not a heading but we can put it in a
before sections. Also "Business Unit Overview" is also substantive but maybe we can include as a
. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." But we can still include a brief intro paragraph summarizing overview and location. That's okay.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. There's none.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
Post Consumer Brands, a business unit of Post Holdings, Inc., headquartered in Lakeville, Minn., provides delicious food choices... (overview).
Post Consumer Brands corporate headquarters in Lakeville, Minnesota, is about 20 miles south of Minneapolis and St. Paul... (location description).

Pay
The pay range for this position is $106,019 - $156,909 per year.
We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "Big Company Opportunity. Small Company Attitude." paragraph under Responsibilities heading? Actually there is a section before "About The Role": "Big Company Opportunity. Small Company Attitude. At Post Consumer Brands, you'll lead major capital investments that strengthen our manufacturing network and support future growth. You'll have the resources of a large organization, the visibility to make an impact, and the opportunity to see your projects come to life from concept through start-up. Big ambitions are welcome here! Travel Required: Significant travel (30-50%) is a core requirement of this role. You will support projects across multiple manufacturing facilities, with travel increasing during active project phases. Some periods may require up to three out of every four weeks on-site at plant locations."
That is substantive and should be included. Where does it belong? It could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. Since it's about the role and travel, we could incorporate into About the role paragraph. The instructions: preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that text. We can add it to About the role section as additional paragraphs.
Thus About the role section could have multiple paragraphs: first the "Big Company Opportunity..." paragraph, then the "About The Role" paragraph.
We must not duplicate content. Ensure we include travel requirement.
Thus About the role:

That covers.
Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Discover just right. Ready to Make an Impact? If you've successfully led capital projects..." That's a call to action; it's substantive? It's basically encouraging to apply. The instructions: Remove application instructions. That paragraph is basically a call to apply; we should drop it as application instructions. So we omit "Discover just right. Ready to Make an Impact? If you've successfully led capital projects in manufacturing, food production, industrial construction, or similar facility-based environments and are excited by the opportunity to own major investments from concept through execution, we'd love to hear from you!" That's application instruction; drop.
Also we need to include the Business Unit Overview paragraph maybe as intro. Let's include a short p at top: "Post Consumer Brands, a business unit of Post Holdings, Inc., headquartered in Lakeville, Minn., is dedicated to providing people and their pets with delicious food choices for every taste and budget. The company's portfolio includes beloved brands such as Honey Bunches of Oats™, PEBBLES™, Grape-Nuts™ and Malt-O-Meal™ cereal and Peter Pan™ peanut butter, as well as Rachael Ray® Nutrish™, Kibbles 'n Bits™ and 9Lives™ dog and cat food.

That's from Business Unit Overview. Keep.
