Staff Archaeologist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, application instructions, duplicated lines, cookie/navigation etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's parse content. First paragraph: "At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow..." That's generic company description. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not specific to role. Might be considered fluff. But we need to preserve substantive info. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The company description may be considered boilerplate? Not sure. It's generic marketing. Might be considered not essential. But we could keep as part of About the role? The "About the role" heading expects description of role. The first paragraph is about Jacobs mission, not role. Could be omitted? Might be considered filler. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. The mission statement is not substantive about the role. Might be considered boilerplate. I'd lean to omit it. Next: "Your impact Jacobs is seeking a full-time staff archaeologist based in Texas to work on a variety of projects throughout Texas and surrounding regions. This position involves providing cultural resources support for planning, engineering, and construction projects serving government, military, and commercial clients. The staff archaeologist role encompasses projects that require compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Native American Graves Repatriation and Protection Act (NAGPRA), Antiquities Code of Texas (ACT), and other federal, state, and local cultural resource regulations. All work will be conducted under the guidance of senior cultural resources staff. The ideal candidate will have a B.A. in anthropology/archaeology/CRM with experience working in Texas and in conducting archaeological survey and construction monitoring. Familiarity with basic artifact and feature identification, mapping, data entry, photography, and archaeological site documentation is expected. Additional qualifications include the ability to produce clear, well-organized technical prose, strong organizational skills, and technological proficiency that includes experience working with GIS and relational databases. Primary duties will include background and archival research, intensive pedestrian survey with shovel testing, in-field artifact analysis, and cultural resources monitoring. We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between a Jacobs office and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work. Candidates local to the Dallas-Fort-Worth metro area are preferred. The successful candidate should have a desire to grow personally as well as professionally with support from the local team." That's a mix of role description, responsibilities, qualifications. Then: "Our Archaeologists Coordinate compliance with relevant regulations Conduct archival research and background records reviews Conduct all aspects of archaeological fieldwork (primarily survey and monitoring) Perform analyses and prepare technical reports for projects that involve cultural resources Evaluate eligibility of resources for listing in the NRHP and State Antiquities Landmark Provide support to and work with senior-level cultural resources staff" That's a list of responsibilities. Then: "Here's what you'll need B.A. in anthropology/archaeology/CRM Ability to communicate clearly and professionally with clients, contractors, and agency personnel in the field Minimum of three years of professional archaeological field work including construction monitoring Working knowledge of historic preservation laws and policies, including NEPA, NHPA, ARPA, and NAGPRA Working knowledge of the Antiquities Code of Texas and Texas Historical Commission review procedures, including the Archeological Survey Standards for Texas (Council of Texas Archeologists) Proficiency in soil documentation Experience using geospatial technology (ArcGIS Field Maps and Survey 123) Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite Effective oral and written communication Must be capable of walking long distances over uneven terrain, excavating shovel tests, screening soil, analyzing artifacts, profiling trench walls, and carrying field equipment outdoors in variable weather, including extreme heat Must be willing and able to travel as needed Must be motivated and able to work safely with minimum supervision Ideally, you'll also have 5+ years of experience Experience leading crews in the field Experience conducting research, literature reviews, and cartographic reviews Experience writing technical reports and populating site forms Background in the consulting environment Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously and be responsive to both internal and external clients HAZWOPER certification OSHA-10 and Competent Person certification" That's qualifications/requirements/skills. Then benefits: "Our health and welfare benefits are designed to invest in you, and in the things you care about. Your health. Your well-being. Your security. Your future. Employees have access to medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance, a 401(k) plan, and the ability to purchase company stock at a discount. Eligible employees may also enroll in a deferred compensation plan or the Executive Deferral Plan. Jacobs has an unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) policy for full-time salaried/exempt employees, seven paid holidays, and caregiver leave. And certain roles may be eligible for additional rewards, including merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, and stock." Pay: "The base salary range for this position is $66,300.00 to $116,000.00. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training." Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned besides hybrid working policy. There's mention of hybrid working policy allowing split week between office and remote. That's schedule info? Could be considered schedule. But we need a Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does mention hybrid working policy, which is about schedule/location. Could be considered schedule. However we might include it under Benefits? But we have a Benefits section already. The schedule could be separate: "Hybrid working policy: split work week between Jacobs office and remote locations." That's schedule info. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits are stated. Pay is stated. Schedule is somewhat stated (hybrid working policy). We'll include Schedule. Now we need to avoid duplication. There's duplicated lines: "We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between a Jacobs office and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work." appears twice. We'll include once. Also "Our Archaeologists" list appears maybe duplicated? Not sure. We need to structure:

About the role

maybe a paragraph summarizing role: full-time staff archaeologist based in Texas, work on projects throughout Texas and surrounding regions, providing cultural resources support for planning, engineering, construction projects serving government, military, commercial clients, compliance with various regulations, under guidance of senior staff.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate compliance with relevant regulations
• Conduct archival research and background records reviews
• Conduct all aspects of archaeological fieldwork (primarily survey and monitoring)
• Perform analyses and prepare technical reports for projects that involve cultural resources
• Evaluate eligibility of resources for listing in the NRHP and State Antiquities Landmark
• Provide support to and work with senior-level cultural resources staff
• Background and archival research
• Intensive pedestrian survey with shovel testing
• In-field artifact analysis
• Cultural resources monitoring
maybe combine. But we have some overlap. We'll consolidate. Better to list responsibilities as per the "Our Archaeologists" list plus primary duties. Let's create a combined list: - Coordinate compliance with relevant regulations (NHPA, ARPA, NEPA, NAGPRA, ACT, etc.) - Conduct archival research and background records reviews - Conduct intensive pedestrian survey with shovel testing - Perform in-field artifact analysis - Conduct cultural resources monitoring - Perform analyses and prepare technical reports for cultural resources projects - Evaluate eligibility of resources for listing in the NRHP and State Antiquities Landmark - Provide support to and work with senior-level cultural resources staff That seems good. Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting separates "Here's what you'll need" and then "Ideally, you'll also have". We could combine into Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (preferred) or Skills. But we need to follow headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which content goes where. We have mandatory: B.A. in anthropology/archaeology/CRM; Ability to communicate clearly and professionally with clients, contractors, agency personnel; Minimum of three years of professional archaeological field work including construction monitoring; Working knowledge of historic preservation laws and policies (NEPA, NHPA, ARPA, NAGPRA); Working knowledge of the Antiquities Code of Texas and Texas Historical Commission review procedures, including Archeological Survey Standards for Texas; Proficiency in soil documentation; Experience using geospatial technology (ArcGIS Field Maps and Survey 123); Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite; Effective oral and written communication; Must be capable of walking long distances over uneven terrain, excavating shovel tests, screening soil, analyzing artifacts, profiling trench walls, carrying field equipment outdoors in variable weather including extreme heat; Must be willing and able to travel as needed; Must be motivated and able to work safely with minimum supervision. Then "Ideally, you'll also have": 5+ years of experience; Experience leading crews in the field; Experience conducting research, literature reviews, and cartographic reviews; Experience writing technical reports and populating site forms; Background in the consulting environment; Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously and be responsive to both internal and external clients; HAZWOPER certification; OSHA-10 and Competent Person certification. We could put mandatory under Requirements, and ideal under Qualifications or Skills. Skills could be technical proficiencies: GIS, MS Office, soil documentation, artifact identification, mapping, data entry, photography, site documentation, etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But headings are separate; we should only include sections if there is real specific content. We have content for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We'll include all three. Now Benefits: we have paragraph. Pay: salary range. Schedule: hybrid working policy. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO statement at end: "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or protected veteran status." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "Job posted on September 28, 2026. This position will be open for at least 3 days." That's metadata; remove. Also "We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work." duplicated; we keep one. Also "Your application experience is important to us, and we’re keen to adapt to make every interaction even better. If you require further support or reasonable adjustments with regards to the recruitment process (for example, you require the application form in a different format), please contact the team via Careers Support." That's application instructions; remove. Now produce HTML. We'll start with
