- "Here's What Your Summer Could Look Like Do real work. Apply what you're learning in school to actual projects. Find your people. Connect with fellow interns and employees across VAA. Learn from the pros. Get guidance and mentorship from experienced professionals. Explore engineering. See how different disciplines work together. Get out there. Visit jobsites and see projects come to life. Build your skills. Join Lunch & Learns on communication, presentation skills, personal branding and more. Think beyond summer. Explore opportunities to return for another internship or start your full-time career with VAA after graduation."

We need to remove boilerplate: EEO line maybe considered boilerplate; also hashtags maybe not needed. Also "Let's Get Growing™" maybe not needed. Also "Apply today!" maybe application instruction, we should remove application instructions. Also "Hear first-hand..." maybe okay as description.
We need to decide sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role: could include intro description about role, maybe "Your Role" and "Here's What Your Summer Could Look Like". Could combine.
- Responsibilities: list of duties: "Assist with structural calculations, analysis and design", "Help prepare drawings, plans and details for real client projects", "Gain experience with structural engineering software and design tools", "Learn about steel, concrete and other structural systems", "Collaborate with engineers, designers and other VAA disciplines", "Participate in project meetings and get out of the office for site visits". Also maybe "Do real work. Apply what you're learning in school to actual projects." etc.
- Requirements/Qualifications: "Pursuing a bachelor's degree in Civil, Structural or Architectural Engineering from an accredited college or university", "Sophomores and juniors are encouraged to apply", "Interest in structural design and how buildings and industrial facilities come together", "Curiosity, a positive attitude and a willingness to jump in and learn". Could be Requirements.
- Skills: maybe not explicit; could include "Interest in structural design", "Curiosity", etc but those are more qualifications. Could skip Skills if not specific.
- Benefits: Not explicitly listed except maybe "Lunch & Learns on communication, presentation skills, personal branding and more", "guidance and mentorship", "Explore opportunities to return for another internship or start your full-time career". Those could be benefits. Also "Get out there. Visit jobsites". Could be Benefits.
- Pay: "Hourly Range: $21.00-$23.00" => Pay section.
- Schedule: Not specified (Summer 2027 internship). Could mention "Summer 2027". That is schedule info: it's a summer internship. Could include Schedule section with "Summer 2027". But we need to avoid placeholder like "not specified". It's specified as Summer 2027. So we can include Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Structural Engineering Intern". Good.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info.

We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Structural Engineering Intern". Good.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like "Assist with structural calculations, analysis and design", etc.
We need to avoid duplication. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
Thus we will remove EEO line, hashtags, "Apply today!", maybe "Let's Get Growing™" (maybe considered marketing but not boilerplate? Could keep? It's not substantive about job; maybe remove as it's fluff). Also "Get to Know VAA" section includes description of company; that is substantive about employer; we could include as part of About the role or maybe a separate section "About VAA". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put company description under About the role or maybe under a generic section like "About the role". The instructions say use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should stick to those headings. So we can put company description under About the role.
Thus structure:
About the role
... intro and role description ... maybe combine with company description.
Responsibilities
- ... list items ...
Requirements
- ... list items ...
Benefits
- ... list items ...
Pay
Hourly Range: $21.00-$23.00

Summer 2027 internship
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to extract precise prose.
About the role: combine intro paragraphs: "We are hiring three Structural Engineering Interns for Summer 2027. Ready to Build Something Real? Take what you're learning in the classroom and put it to work at VAA. As a Structural Engineering Intern, you won't spend your summer on the sidelines.

We need to keep the URL? It's substantive; we can keep as part of prose.
We should avoid duplication: some sentences repeat. We'll combine but keep all info.
We need to be careful not to include application instructions like "Apply today!" or "Let's Get Growing™" or hashtags.
Now Responsibilities list: from "You'll have opportunities to:" list: Assist with structural calculations, analysis and design; Help prepare drawings, plans and details for real client projects; Gain experience with structural engineering software and design tools; Learn about steel, concrete and other structural systems; Collaborate with engineers, designers and other VAA disciplines; Participate in project meetings and get out of the office for site visits.
Also from "Here's What Your Summer Could Look Like": "Do real work. Apply what you're learning in school to actual projects." That's similar to responsibilities; but we can include as separate bullet maybe. However to avoid duplication, we could include it as bullet under Responsibilities: "Do real work: apply what you're learning in school to actual projects." Also "Visit jobsites and see projects come to life." Already covered by site visits. "Join Lunch & Learns on communication, presentation skills, personal branding and more." That's more benefits/training. "Explore engineering. See how different disciplines work together." Could be responsibility or benefit. We'll treat as benefit maybe.
But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can include them as bullets under appropriate sections.
Let's decide:
Responsibilities bullets:
- Assist with structural calculations, analysis and design
- Help prepare drawings, plans and details for real client projects
- Gain experience with structural engineering software and design tools
- Learn about steel, concrete and other structural systems
- Collaborate with engineers, designers and other VAA disciplines
- Participate in project meetings and get out of the office for site visits
- Do real work: apply what you're learning in school to actual projects
Benefits bullets:
- Guidance and mentorship from experienced professionals
- Connect with fellow interns and employees across VAA
- Explore engineering: see how different disciplines work together
- Visit jobsites and see projects come to life (maybe duplicate)
- Join Lunch & Learns on communication, presentation skills, personal branding and more
- Explore opportunities to return for another internship or start your full-time career with VAA after graduation
- Hear first-hand what it's like to work here, the range of opportunities you can find and the wealth of resources that will support you - both professionally and personally (maybe from company description)
- Access to resources supporting professional and personal growth (maybe from company description)
But we need
