We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, navigation, cookie, etc. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must only include sections where posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Intro about company: "A New Chapter...". That's about the role? Could be "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to these headings.
We have description of role: responsibilities (leadership, department performance, etc). We have required qualifications. Preferred qualifications. Skills maybe from required/preferred. Benefits: relocation assistance mentioned. Pay: not mentioned. Schedule: full-time, on-site mentioned. Also work arrangement & travel: full-time, on-site, occasional travel. So schedule could be "Full-time, on-site". Benefits: relocation assistance. Also maybe "Why Oklahoma City?" could be considered benefits? But it's location info. Could be part of "About the role" or separate? Probably not needed.
We must not create sections with filler. So we include:
- About the role: maybe a brief summary of the role and company context. Must preserve all substantive info; we can include the introductory paragraphs about the company and role purpose.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (leadership, department operations, resource management, project delivery, financial & business management, executive & multidisciplinary leadership, structural engineering technical oversight). Use

- Responsibilities: list of duties (leadership, department operations, resource management, project delivery, financial & business management, executive & multidisciplinary leadership, structural engineering technical oversight). Use - .
- Requirements: maybe required qualifications (Bachelor's degree, PE license, 10+ years experience, etc). Could be under Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications? But we already used Requirements for required; Qualifications could be preferred? The instruction says we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements = required qualifications; Qualifications = preferred or additional qualifications. We'll follow that.
- Skills: maybe communication skills, technical knowledge, etc. Could be extracted from required/preferred: strong written, verbal, presentation, interpersonal, executive communication skills; working knowledge of structural design, analysis, codes, QA/QC; experience managing multiple projects; familiarity with Revit could be considered skills. We'll create a Skills section.
- Benefits: relocation assistance.
- Pay: not mentioned, so omit.
- Schedule: full-time, on-site (and occasional travel). So we can include schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO statement, navigation, cookie, legal. At end there is EEO statement; we must remove.
Also remove "Apply today..." maybe considered application instructions; we should remove application instructions. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove "Apply today to join our Oklahoma City team." and maybe "If you're exploring a move, we encourage you to learn more..." that's also promotional but not exactly application instruction; but it's about relocation assistance and location; could be kept as part of Benefits or About the role? It's location info; maybe keep as part of About the role or Benefits? The "Why Oklahoma City?" section is location info; could be considered part of Benefits? Not exactly benefit but could be considered part of role description. We'll keep it under About the role maybe.
We must preserve all substantive information; we cannot discard location info or relocation assistance. So we need to incorporate that.
Let's extract substantive paragraphs:
Intro: "A New Chapter. Even Greater Opportunities. FSB Architects + Engineers has joined Colliers Engineering & Design, a nationally recognized, multi-discipline engineering, architecture, design, and consulting firm. While our name will evolve in the future, our local leadership, collaborative culture, and commitment to our clients remain unchanged. This partnership expands the resources, expertise, and career opportunities available to our employees while strengthening our ability to deliver innovative solutions for clients and communities across the country. FSB, an affiliate of Colliers Engineering & Design, is seeking an experienced Structural Engineering Director to provide strategic and operational leadership for our structural engineering department in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This full-time, on-site leadership position is accountable for department performance, financial management, staff development, resource planning, project delivery, quality, profitability, and client satisfaction within a multidisciplinary architecture and engineering firm."
Then responsibilities broken into sections: The Director of Structural Engineering leads..., etc. Then "Project Environment", "Structural Engineering People Leadership", "Department Operations & Resource Management", "Project Management & Project Delivery", "Financial & Business Management", "Executive & Multidisciplinary Leadership", "Structural Engineering Technical Oversight". Those are all responsibilities.
Then "Required Qualifications" list.
Then "Preferred Qualifications" list.
Then "Why Oklahoma City?" paragraph.
Then "Work Arrangement & Travel": full-time, on-site, occasional travel.
Then "Physical Requirements": prolonged sitting, regular participation in meetings.
Then "Bring your structural engineering experience..." (call to action) - maybe remove as application instruction? It's not exactly instruction to apply but encouraging; but we might keep as part of About the role? It's more like a closing statement; could be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a motivational line. Might be considered part of the role description; but we can keep it under About the role.
Then EEO statement - remove.
Thus we need to produce HTML with sections.
We'll create:

Responsibilities
- ... each responsibility bullet
We need to break responsibilities into bullet points capturing each major duty. Could combine many details into bullet points but must preserve all substantive information; we cannot summarize away detail. However we can break into multiple bullet points each covering a distinct responsibility area, but we must not lose detail. We can include sub-bullets? Only - allowed; we can have multiple
- each containing sentences. That's okay.
