We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: description (intro) maybe "About the role". Responsibilities present. Qualifications present. Benefits present. Compensation (Pay) present. Schedule not mentioned. Skills maybe not explicit separate; but we have "Skills" maybe from qualifications? Could combine. But we should not create empty sections.
We need to use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
We need to format:
About the role
then paragraph(s) summarizing the intro: "Staff Engineer – Highway & Traffic Wall Township, NJ, US French & Parrello Associates (FPA) is seeking a motivated and talented Staff Engineer to join our growing Highway & Traffic Department at our headquarters in Wall Township, NJ. This is an exciting opportunity for an entry-level engineering professional who wants to develop expertise in roadway design and traffic engineering, contribute to diverse transportation infrastructure projects, and build a long-term career with one of the Northeast’s fastest-growing engineering consulting firms. Recognized year after year as one of NJBIZ’s Best Places to Work in New Jersey, FPA is committed to creating a culture where talented professionals are empowered to grow, collaborate, and succeed. In 2026, FPA was ranked #49 on Zweig’s Hot Firm List, recognizing the firm among the 100 fastest-growing AEC firms in the United States and Canada. Our continued growth is driven by our investment in our people, technical excellence, and commitment to delivering innovative solutions for the communities we serve."
That's prose.
Then Responsibilities: list bullet points.
Then Qualifications: bullet points.
Then Benefits: bullet points.
Then Pay: paragraph.
We might also include Skills? Could combine with Qualifications. But we have "Skills" maybe from "Strong written and verbal communication skills. Ability to work collaboratively..." Those could be under Skills. However Qualifications already includes those. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can decide to include Skills if there is content. There is "Strong written and verbal communication skills. Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and manage multiple tasks." That's skill. Also "Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification or ability to obtain within 6 months." That's qualification.
We could separate: Qualifications: education, experience, knowledge, software familiarity. Skills: communication, teamwork, EIT.
But we must not invent content. We have those.
Let's parse:
Qualifications bullet points from posting:
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or related field from an accredited university.
- 0–2 years of relevant experience (internship or co-op experience preferred).
- Basic knowledge of roadway and/or traffic engineering principles.
- Familiarity with NJDOT, AASHTO, and MUTCD standards is a plus.
- Experience with design and analysis software (AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation, Synchro, HCS, etc.) preferred.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and manage multiple tasks.
- Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification or ability to obtain within 6 months.
But some of those are skills. However we can keep them under Qualifications.
But we also have a separate "Skills" heading maybe not needed. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine all into Qualifications and not create Skills section.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
Check if any other content: "Additional Information" includes sponsorship, relocation assistance, start date. That's substantive but not under any heading. Should we include? It's not covered by headings list but we could put under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Additional Information". But the instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings where applicable. Additional Information could be placed under About the role or maybe we could create a heading "Additional Information". But not in the list; but we could still use for any section heading; the examples are just examples. Safer to include a section for Additional Information if we have content. However we must not create thin sections. Additional Information has three bullet-ish lines: sponsorship not available, relocation assistance not available, position anticipated to begin summer 2027. Also the encouragement to apply if not meeting every qualification. That's substantive.
We could incorporate that into About the role or Qualifications? Probably better as a separate section "Additional Information". But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Adding another section may be okay if it's substantive.
Alternatively we could fold into About the role after the intro. That would keep sections fewer.
Let's decide: We'll keep About the role covering the introductory paragraph plus the Additional Information notes (sponsorship, relocation, start date, encouragement). That keeps sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
Now we need to format lists.
Responsibilities list:
- Assist with the design and preparation of roadway and traffic engineering plans, including alignments, profiles, signage, striping, and maintenance of traffic plans.
- Support traffic engineering studies such as traffic impact studies, signal warrant analyses, and capacity analysis.
- Perform data collection and analysis, including traffic counts and field observations.
- Prepare technical reports, calculations, and supporting documentation.
- Utilize design software such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation, Synchro, and/or HCS.
- Coordinate with internal team members across multiple disciplines.
- Attend project meetings and assist with client coordination as needed.
- Support construction phase services, including shop drawing review and field inspections.
Qualifications list (maybe combine skills):
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or related field from an accredited university.
- 0–2 years of relevant experience (internship or co-op experience preferred).
- Basic knowledge of roadway and/or traffic engineering principles.
- Familiarity with NJDOT, AASHTO, and MUTCD standards is a plus.
- Experience with design and analysis software (AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation, Synchro, HCS, etc.) preferred.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and manage multiple tasks.
- Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification or ability to obtain within 6 months.
Benefits list:
- Benefit packages for this role will start on the 1st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement plans.
- Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
That's two items; could be a with two - .
Pay: paragraph: "The projected compensation range for this position is $75,000 to $80,000. Actual compensation will depend on factors including experience, education, qualifications, and skill set. FPA recognizes and rewards performance through an annual bonus program."
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
Check for any duplicated lines: none.
Make sure not to include job title as heading.
We'll output:
