We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use for each section heading. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the job description.
Let's extract sections:
- About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph: "This Opportunity WSP is seeking an experienced and highly motivated Technical Director, Traffic Engineering to join our team in New York.

Our ideal candidate has a proven track record of successfully delivering projects from initiation through operations and maintenance, with a strong focus on client satisfaction and technical excellence. This position will primarily support projects in New York. .Some project-related travel may be required."
We can treat that as About the role.
- Responsibilities: The "Your Impact" bullet list (actually paragraphs). We need to extract each duty as list items.
List items from "Your Impact":
- Support the delivery and execution of project scope, objectives, and requirements, ensuring close collaboration and alignment with clients and stakeholders.
- Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate project risks and issues.
- Ensure project deliverables meet high-quality standards and specified requirements.
- Implement rigorous quality review processes, manage version controls, and track comments and resolutions.
- Prepare and present comprehensive project progress statuses using reporting tools and dashboards.
- Monitor and meet defined performance metrics, tracking budget, time, scope, and communication details to ensure projects meet schedule and client expectations.
- Stay current with emerging technologies, industry best practices, and relevant standards.

- Coordinate with various internal and external partners, including cross-discipline and functional teams, government agencies (i.e., DOTs), and other stakeholders.
- Comfortably present complex technical and project information to diverse audiences, including executives, client teams, and public forums.
- Contribute to and potentially lead the development of technical proposals, scopes of work, and budgeting for projected work.
- Assist in building and growing the firm's Traffic Engineering, Safety and Intelligent Transportation Systems practice across New York State.
- Foster technical development and mentoring of staff.
- Exercise responsible and ethical decision-making regarding company funds, resources and conduct, and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and related policies and procedures.
- Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs.
We need to ensure we keep all.
- Requirements: maybe "Who You Are Required Qualifications" list.
List required qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Traffic Engineering, Computer Science, or Information Technology, preferred, or equivalent years of experience.
- 12+ years of progressive experience in traffic, ITS, & safety planning, analysis, and design.
- Licensed Professional Engineer in the State of New York, or another state and able to obtain reciprocity in New York State within 6 months of hire.
- PTOE certification (highly preferred).
- Proven experience managing complex projects with budgets, schedules, and technical requirements.
- Proven experience with NYSDOT, MTA, and other regional agencies.
- Develop new project opportunities, manage client relationships, and prepare and manage proposal submissions.
- Strong leadership, mentoring, and team-building skills.

- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment.
- Passion for innovation, quality, and financial performance.

We could treat these as Requirements.

- Active engagement in relevant industry organizations.
- Project experience - Traffic operations and safety, ATSPM, signal design, signal timing, NYSDOT experience, Interstate Reconstruction, Environmental Impact Statements.
- Expertise in traffic engineering principles, practices, NYSDOT project delivery process, Traffic Signal Design, Signage, pavement markings, Maco, Meso and Micro-simulation modeling.
We could put under Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe combine some of the above? But we have separate sections for Requirements and Qualifications; maybe Skills not needed if content overlaps. However we could extract skills like leadership, communication, etc. But we already have them in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could skip Skills section if not distinct. The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they ask to use headings for those sections if content exists. We have both Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications; we could make Requirements for required, Qualifications for preferred. That seems fine.
- Benefits: The "WSP Benefits" paragraph describing benefits. We need to extract list items: coverage related to medical, dental, vision, disability, and life; retirement savings; paid sick leave; paid vacation (or other personal time); paid parental leave; and paid time off for purposes of bereavement, voting, and/or attendance at naturalization proceedings.
We can list as

Note there is a typo "bring and leadership skills". We'll keep as is.

Check for any other sections like "About WSP" maybe not needed as it's boilerplate? It includes description of WSP but could be considered About the company. However instruction: include section only when posting has real specific content. The "About WSP" is generic boilerplate but maybe considered not required. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About WSP" might be considered boilerplate but it's describing the company; could be kept? However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The About WSP is not about the role; it's about the company. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to omit.
Also "WSP provides a flexible and agile workplace model..." is also boilerplate.
Thus we omit.
Now ensure we didn't include any duplicated lines.
Let's craft HTML.
Be careful with special characters like &, etc. Use plain text.
