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. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Watch Our Story:" link? That's probably boilerplate. Remove "Read further to learn how you could help..." maybe part of about? Might be considered fluff but it's substantive? It's generic marketing. Probably remove as it's not specific to role. Keep description of role and responsibilities.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Intro about HDR culture: maybe "About the role" could include description of role and impact.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (bulleted). The posting includes many responsibilities: "Complete LOS analysis for selected intersections (Synchro)", "Assist with traffic forecast modeling", "Complete projected figures using Geographic Information Systems and AutoCad", "Conduct parking studies to analyze potential parking impacts to neighborhoods near the Project Area", "Conduct intersection and segment LOS analysis and project trip generation estimates", "Perform traffic impact analysis as part of a CEQA/NEPA level EIR or preliminary engineering study", "Conduct intersection LOS analysis, project trip generation estimates, and the determination of cumulative impacts", "Conduct field work to record intersection and traffic signal design."
We can combine duplicates.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications and Required Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe list of skills like "Graphics experience such as GIS or illustrator would be a plus", "Interest and experience is needed in knowledge of traffic design standards including signal, ITS, and signing and striping design with Microstation / AutoCAD software", "Knowledge/interest in Synchro / SimTraffic software, HCM 2010, HCS / Vissim software and Caltrans traffic design/operations analysis standards and procedure", "Attending an accredited Civil/Transportation Engineering program", "Prefer 1+years of classes in traffic analysis", "Strong preference will be given to local candidates who have intern experience in California before graduation", "Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate Engineering program", "Attention to detail", "Possess strong problem-solving and communication skills", "Basic Microsoft Office skills", "An attitude and commitment to being an active participant of our employee-owned culture is a must".
- Benefits: "We provide a comprehensive benefits package that promotes employee ownership, employee health, performance, and success, which includes medical, dental, vision, short and long-term disability, life insurance, an employee assistance program, paid time away, parental leave, paid holidays, a retirement savings plan with employer match, employee referral bonus and tuition reimbursement. (Stated benefits are for full-time regular positions. Temporary and part-time roles eligible for limited benefits.)"
- Pay: "The expected compensation range for this position is $22-26/hr and depends upon skills, experience, education and geographical location."
- Schedule: "The ideal candidate will commit up to 20 hours per week on-site, working alongside and receiving mentorship from a licensed engineer. This position does not offer remote work." Also "Primary Location: United States-California-Irvine Other Locations: United States-California-Los Angeles, United States-California-Long Beach Industry: Highway + Road Schedule: Part-time Employee Status: Temporary BusinessClass: Traffic Engineering Job Posting: Sep 25, 2026". So schedule: Part-time, up to 20 hours per week on-site, no remote.

We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown.
We'll create sections:
About the role
with paragraph(s) describing role and impact.
Responsibilities
with - items.
Qualifications
maybe combine Preferred and Required? Could split into Preferred Qualifications and Required Qualifications but both are qualifications. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They list Requirements as a possible heading. Could use Requirements for required qualifications, and Qualifications for preferred? But they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might combine into Qualifications (including both preferred and required) and maybe Skills separate.
But they also have Skills heading. Could put skill-related items under Skills.
Let's decide:
- About the role: description of role and HDR mission.
- Responsibilities: bullet list.
- Qualifications: list of educational and experience requirements (both required and preferred). Could separate required vs preferred but maybe just list.
- Skills: technical skills (software, GIS, AutoCAD, Synchro, etc.) and soft skills.
- Benefits: benefits paragraph.
- Pay: compensation range.
- Schedule: part-time hours, on-site, no remote.
We must not include headings with filler. Ensure each section has content.
Now craft HTML.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep specifics like "Complete LOS analysis for selected intersections (Synchro)" etc. Must not drop any.
We must not repeat job title. Not include "Job ID / requisition numbers". Not include boilerplate like "At HDR, our employee-owners are fully engaged..." maybe that's about culture but could be part of About the role. It's substantive? It's generic but maybe keep as part of About the role. However we should remove duplicated lines and navigation/legal/EEO etc. The intro paragraph about employee-owners and culture could be kept as part of About the role.
We must remove "Watch Our Story:' https://www.hdrinc.com/our-story'" and "Read further to learn how you could help make great things possible not only in your community, but around the world." That's fluff.
Also remove "We believe transportation is more than movement..." maybe keep as part of About the role? It's about the business group. Might be relevant to role. Keep.
We must remove "As we foster a culture of inclusion throughout our company and within our communities, we constantly ask ourselves: What is our impact on the world?" That's fluff but maybe part of About the role. Could keep but it's generic. Might be okay.
We must remove "Each and every role throughout our organization makes a difference in our ability to change the world for the better." generic.
We must remove "We bring together planners, engineers, architects, construction management staff, environmental, strategic communications, economists, management consultants and specialists across disciplines to solve complex mobility challenges with innovation, technical excellence, and a deep understanding of community needs." That's description of group; could be part of About the role.
We must remove "Whether you're modernizing aging infrastructure or pioneering next-generation transportation solutions, your contributions will help define the future of mobility." generic but okay.
We must remove "This isn’t just a job, it’s a chance to lead progress, drive meaningful impact, and leave a legacy of smarter, more connected transportation networks." generic.
We must remove "We are all employee-owners at HDR, which is the foundation of our collaborative culture that connects employees around the world." generic.
We must remove "In the role of Traffic Engineering Intern, we'll count on you to:" maybe keep as intro to responsibilities.
We must remove "The ideal candidate will commit up to 20 hours per week on-site, working alongside and receiving mentorship from a licensed engineer. This position does not offer remote work." That's schedule.
We must remove "Preferred Qualifications" heading but we can incorporate content.
We must remove "Required Qualifications" heading but incorporate.
We must remove "What We Believe", "Our Commitment", "Our eight Employee Network Groups", etc. That's boilerplate EEO etc. Remove.
We must remove "At HDR, we are committed to the principles of employment equity..." etc. Remove.
Now craft HTML.
Let's draft:

Note: Some duplicates: "Complete LOS analysis for selected intersections (Synchro)" and later "Conduct intersection and segment LOS analysis and project trip generation estimates" and "Conduct intersection LOS analysis, project trip generation estimates, and the determination of cumulative impacts". We'll keep all as they are distinct but maybe some overlap. We'll keep as listed.
