We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Need to parse the posting. We have: - Intro about firm: "Join the firm AIA calls ..." This is about the firm, maybe "About the role" or "About the firm". The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" heading for description of role/firm. - Then "What You'll Do" list: bullet points. - Then "What We Offer": bullet points. - Then "Requirements": bullet list. - Then later: "LPA is an integrated design firm ..." more about firm culture, benefits, compensation range. - Then "Compensation Range: $79K - $104K" => Pay section. - Benefits: they mention "competitive salaries and a robust benefits package—including health and dental insurance, retirement and financial planning, wellness initiatives, and flexible work/life programs." Also earlier "What We Offer" includes mentorship, career growth, etc. But we need Benefits section only if posting actually states them. There is a benefits description. So we can create Benefits

with list. - Pay: we have compensation range. - Schedule: not mentioned. So omit. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? The instruction includes Qualifications as possible heading. We have Requirements section; we could treat that as Qualifications. But we already have Requirements heading. We could also have Qualifications if distinct. Probably just use Requirements. - Skills: maybe we could extract from Requirements: Knowledge of Revit, RAM, RISA and ETABs is preferred; enthusiastic commitment; curious; strong written and verbal communication skills. Could be Skills section. But we already have Requirements covering those. To avoid thin sections, we could combine Requirements and Skills into one Requirements section. But instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. That's five sections. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not needed. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all bullet points exactly as given. Let's extract content. About the role: The introductory paragraphs up to "What You'll Do". Let's capture: "Join the firm AIA calls “a trailblazer in sustainable, high-performance architecture.” Winner of the AIA 2025 Firm Award, we’re an integrated collective of designers and researchers united in a mission to eliminate carbon emissions and build a more equitable, livable future. LPA is seeking a passionate Structural Designer to join our integrated team of architects, engineers, interior designers, landscape architects and master planners. We are an award-winning multidisciplinary design firm that focuses on collaborative and sustainable design. Our structural engineering group has earned top awards from the American Institute of Steel Construction and the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations (NCSEA), which honor “the most innovative projects in the world”. As a member of our structural engineering team, you will work on a broad range of projects from office, education and recreation buildings to complex laboratories, health care facilities, and performing arts centers. Our award-winning projects aim to have a positive and enduring environmental, economic and social impact. Here is more information about some of our work and our projects across LPA. You will join a high-performing, multi-disciplinary design team, and you will impact projects at each stage of design. We offer numerous education and mentoring opportunities including software training, tech talks, and monthly LPA-U courses centered around innovative and sustainable design practices. Join a firm where your voice is heard, creative design ideas are encouraged, and your work is highly regarded." That's a lot; we keep it as

. Responsibilities: "What You'll Do" bullet list: - Participate in the integrated design process with other disciplines at LPA - Assist Project Engineers and Project Managers in the comprehensive structural design of a large variety of building types and structural systems - Work on research for next generation design and analysis methods related to projects - Actively participate in the construction administration phase at projects - Receive mentorship and training from Project Leaders, including a focus on preparation for PE and SE licensure We need

  • for each. Requirements: "What We're Looking For:" bullet list: - Bachelor’s Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering or related field - Knowledge of Revit, RAM, RISA and ETABs is preferred - Enthusiastic commitment to the multidisciplinary design process and team environment - Curious and open minded to learn - Strong written and verbal communication skills Also maybe later: "LPA is an integrated design firm with offices in California and Texas, focused on creating forward-thinking, sustainable spaces that make a positive impact. We believe great design begins with great people, which is why we foster a supportive, collaborative environment where creativity, curiosity, and professional growth are encouraged. Our culture values diversity, promotes wellness, and supports a healthy work-life balance." That's more about firm culture; could be part of About the role or separate but we already have About the role covering firm description. Could add as another paragraph in About the role. Benefits: "What We Offer" bullet list: - Provide mentorship from Managing Directors and Design Directors as well as other in-house disciplines on all projects - Provide career growth opportunities including licensure incentives, professional development grants and our professional development process - In-house management and leadership training opportunities - Education opportunities including LPA+U and LPA Tech Talks Also later: "At LPA, we offer competitive salaries and a robust benefits package—including health and dental insurance, retirement and financial planning, wellness initiatives, and flexible work/life programs. This position is eligible for an annual bonus." That's benefits and pay. We'll separate: Benefits list includes health/dental insurance, retirement/financial planning, wellness initiatives, flexible work/life programs, annual bonus eligibility. Also maybe mention competitive salaries (but that's Pay). We'll keep Pay separate. Pay: "Compensation Range: $79K - $104K". Also mention base salary based on factors etc. We'll include that as Pay section. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now construct HTML. Structure:

    About the role

    ... (combined intro paragraphs)

    Responsibilities

    • ...
    • ...

    Requirements

    • ...
    • ...

    Benefits

    • ...
    • ...

    Pay

    Compensation range: $79K - $104K. Base salary is based on factors such as geographic location, skills, education, experience and/or project complexity. The position is eligible for an annual bonus.

    We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's craft About the role paragraph(s). Could be two paragraphs: first intro, second about culture etc. But we can combine into one

    with line breaks? Better to keep as multiple

    if needed. But we can just put all in one

    with sentences. Let's extract exact text from posting for About the role: "Join the firm AIA calls “a trailblazer in sustainable, high-performance architecture.” Winner of the AIA 2025 Firm Award, we’re an integrated collective of designers and researchers united in a mission to eliminate carbon emissions and build a more equitable, livable future. LPA is seeking a passionate Structural Designer to join our integrated team of architects, engineers, interior designers, landscape architects and master planners. We are an award-winning multidisciplinary design firm that focuses on collaborative and sustainable design. Our structural engineering group has earned top awards from the American Institute of Steel Construction and the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations (NCSEA), which honor “the most innovative projects in the world”. As a member of our structural engineering team, you will work on a broad range of projects from office, education and recreation buildings to complex laboratories, health care facilities, and performing arts centers.

We offer numerous education and mentoring opportunities including software training, tech talks, and monthly LPA-U courses centered around innovative and sustainable design practices. Join a firm where your voice is heard, creative design ideas are encouraged, and your work is highly regarded." Then later: "LPA is an integrated design firm with offices in California and Texas, focused on creating forward-thinking, sustainable spaces that make a positive impact. We believe great design begins with great people, which is why we foster a supportive, collaborative environment where creativity, curiosity, and professional growth are encouraged. Our culture values diversity, promotes wellness, and supports a healthy work-life balance." We can append that to About the role as another paragraph. Thus About the role will have two

    elements. Now Responsibilities: list as given. Requirements: list as given. Benefits: combine What We Offer bullet list and later benefits paragraph. What We Offer bullets: - Provide mentorship from Managing Directors and Design Directors as well as other in-house disciplines on all projects - Provide career growth opportunities including licensure incentives, professional development grants and our professional development process - In-house management and leadership training opportunities - Education opportunities including LPA+U and LPA Tech Talks Later benefits: "At LPA, we offer competitive salaries and a robust benefits package—including health and dental insurance, retirement and financial planning, wellness initiatives, and flexible work/life programs. This position is eligible for an annual bonus." We could split: Benefits list includes those items; competitive salaries maybe part of Pay. We'll keep competitive salaries in Pay section. Thus Benefits

      with items: - Mentorship from Managing Directors and Design Directors as well as other in-house disciplines on all projects - Career growth opportunities including licensure incentives, professional development grants and our professional development process - In-house management and leadership training opportunities - Education opportunities including LPA+U and LPA Tech Talks - Health and dental insurance - Retirement and financial planning - Wellness initiatives - Flexible work/life programs - Eligibility for an annual bonus We need to keep exact phrasing? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the exact phrases as they appear, not rephrase. So we need to copy the bullet points exactly. From What We Offer: "Provide mentorship from Managing Directors and Design Directors as well as other in-house disciplines on all projects" "Provide career growth opportunities including licensure incentives, professional development grants and our professional development process" "In-house management and leadership training opportunities" "Education opportunities including LPA+U and LPA Tech Talks" From later: "competitive salaries and a robust benefits package—including health and dental insurance, retirement and financial planning, wellness initiatives, and flexible work/life programs." and "This position is eligible for an annual bonus." Thus we should keep those exact phrases. Thus Benefits list items: - Provide mentorship from Managing Directors and Design Directors as well as other in-house disciplines on all projects - Provide career growth opportunities including licensure incentives, professional development grants and our professional development process - In-house management and leadership training opportunities - Education opportunities including LPA+U and LPA Tech Talks - health and dental insurance - retirement and financial planning - wellness initiatives - flexible work/life programs - This position is eligible for an annual bonus. But note the latter includes "competitive salaries and a robust benefits package—including". The phrase "competitive salaries and a robust benefits package
