or drop it." Application deadline is minor metadata; we can include in a short p maybe under a generic section? But we should not create a heading for it unless we have a specific section like "Schedule" etc. There's no schedule info besides maybe work schedule? Not given. So we can omit or put in a p at end. About Actalent: boilerplate about company, EEO, etc. Should be removed as per instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we remove the About Actalent paragraph and all the EEO statements, etc. Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe from first paragraph), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements?), Skills (maybe separate?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule (if schedule info present). There's no explicit schedule (like hours per week). There's mention of field work 50%+, travel up to 25%, but that's more about work environment, not schedule. Could be considered under Work Environment but we don't have a heading for that; we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to have a section "Work Environment" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only use those headings. So we need to map content to those. We can put work environment details maybe under About the role or Responsibilities? Probably About the role can include description of mix of field/office responsibilities. We have Requirements: could be Essential Skills (education, driver's license, experience, etc.) plus Additional Skills & Qualifications (prior experience, EIT, etc.). Could combine into Requirements. Qualifications: maybe similar to Requirements; but we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we can treat Requirements as the mandatory items, and Qualifications as preferred/additional. But we need to decide. Skills: could be technical writing, communication, teamwork, etc. But those are also in Essential Skills. Might be overlapping. Given the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should combine where possible. Thus we could have: - About the role (description) - Responsibilities (list) - Requirements (combined Essential Skills + Additional Skills & Qualifications) - Benefits (list) - Pay (pay range) - Schedule (maybe not present; we could omit if no specific schedule). The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." Pay is stated, Benefits stated, Schedule not stated (no specific schedule like hours per week, shift). So we should NOT create a Schedule section. Thus we output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. We need to use
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all bullet points from Responsibilities, Essential Skills, Additional Skills & Qualifications, Benefits list, Pay range, Work environment details (maybe incorporate into About the role), Job type & location (Contract to Hire based out of Des Moines, IA) maybe include in About the role or a separate p? Could be part of About the role.
Also include Workplace Type: fully onsite position in Des Moines, IA. Could be included.
Also include Application Deadline? Might be considered minor metadata; we could fold into a short p maybe under About the role or at end. But instruction: "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 with the deadline maybe at end.
We must remove boilerplate like About Actalent, EEO, etc.

About the role
We are seeking a motivated Geotechnical Engineer to join our growing engineering consulting team. This individual will support geotechnical investigations, construction materials testing, and engineering analysis for a variety of infrastructure and construction projects. The role offers a mix of field and office responsibilities, providing hands-on experience with site investigations, laboratory testing, client interaction, and technical report preparation. This position is ideal for an early-career engineer looking to expand their geotechnical expertise, gain project management experience, and work toward obtaining their Professional Engineer (PE) license. This is a Contract to Hire position based out of Des Moines, IA, and is a fully onsite role.
Maybe also include work environment: Employees should expect to spend approximately 50% or more of their time performing field services at project sites, with travel throughout the local region as needed. The company supports a robust environment for geotechnical work in Iowa.
We can add that to About the role paragraph.
Thus About the role paragraph includes all that.
Next:
Responsibilities
- Perform field and laboratory testing related to geotechnical engineering and construction materials.
- Conduct site observations and monitor construction activities to ensure compliance with project specifications.
- Collect, document, and analyze field data and testing results.
- Assist with the preparation of geotechnical engineering reports, recommendations, and technical documentation.
- Develop engineering solutions and make project recommendations for review by senior engineers.
- Prepare proposals and cost estimates for geotechnical investigations and materials testing projects.
- Manage small-scale geotechnical and construction materials testing projects from initiation through completion.
- Maintain regular communication with clients and support ongoing business relationships.
- Collaborate with engineers and project teams on larger, more complex projects while independently managing assigned tasks.
- Support professional development efforts, including experience requirements toward Professional Engineer (PE) licensure.
Next:
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Construction Engineering, Materials Engineering, or a related field.
- Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record.
- Experience performing field testing, construction materials testing, or geotechnical investigations.
- Strong technical writing and report preparation skills.
- Excellent verbal and written communication abilities.
- Ability to work independently and within a team environment.
- Ability to lift up to 50 pounds regularly and up to 75 pounds occasionally.
- Willingness to perform field-related work at least 50% of the time.

- Prior engineering consulting experience (0-4 years).
- Geotechnical engineering experience.
- Experience with construction materials testing and field inspection services.
- Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification or progress toward obtaining licensure.
- Experience preparing technical reports and engineering recommendations.
We could also include "Work Environment" details but we already included in About the role.
