The user wants me to reformat a job posting into clean, well-structured semantic HTML. Let me analyze the content and apply the rules. Rules: - Use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule) - Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose - Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) - Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it - Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail - Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions - Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") - Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them - Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones - Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences Now, let's parse the job posting: 1. The job title is "Traffic Engineer" - but we should not repeat it as a heading. 2. There's location info: "This Role Can Sit Out Of Various Offices Including Boston, MA Glastonbury, CT Providence, RI" - this could be a short

    or part of a location section. 3. "This Opportunity Provides high level technical assistance..." - this is an overview/description of the role. 4. "Your Impact" section with bullet points - these are responsibilities/duties. 5. "Required Qualifications" with bullet points. 6. "Preferred Qualifications" with one bullet (PTOE certificate). 7. "WSP Benefits" with description of benefits. 8. "Expected Compensation" with salary range. 9. "About WSP" with company description. 10. EEO statement, third-party agency notice - these are boilerplate to remove. I need to create sections only for real content. Let's map: - About the role / Overview: The paragraph starting "This Opportunity Provides..." and maybe the location info. - Responsibilities: The "Your Impact" bullet points. - Requirements / Qualifications: Required Qualifications bullet points. - Preferred Qualifications: Could be a subsection or separate section. Since it's just one item, maybe include as a list under Qualifications or separate. The rules say use

    for section headings like Qualifications. I'll make a "Qualifications" section with required and preferred as sub-lists? But the rule says use
    • for lists. Could have two
        under one heading. Or separate headings. I'll do "Qualifications" heading with required and preferred as separate lists, maybe with a

        label for each. But the rule says use

        for section headings. Could have "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications" as separate

        ? That might be too many thin sections. The rule: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine under one "Qualifications" heading with two lists. - Benefits: The "WSP Benefits" paragraph describes benefits. That's substantive. - Pay: The "Expected Compensation" gives a range. That's substantive. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned, but there's "Ability to maintain work schedules conducive to project-specific requirements that may extend beyond the typical workweek." That's a schedule-related note. Could include in a "Schedule" section or fold into responsibilities/requirements. The rule says never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does mention work schedules, but not a clear schedule. I'll include as a note in Requirements or a separate "Schedule" section? Probably better to include in Requirements as a bullet. - About the company: "About WSP" is substantive. Now, remove boilerplate: EEO statement, third-party agency notice, "Are you ready to get started?" etc. Also, the location line: "This Role Can Sit Out Of Various Offices Including Boston, MAGlastonbury, CTProvidence, RI" - there are typos (MAGlastonbury, CTProvidence). Should preserve as is? The rule says preserve ALL substantive information. I'll keep as is but maybe format as a paragraph. Now, structure:
