We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key content:
- Intro about Xcel Energy: description of company, mission, hybrid work model, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "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 accordingly.
- Position Summary: description of role: applies extensive technical expertise, staff advisor, consultant, etc. That's about the role.
- Essential Responsibilities: bullet list of responsibilities.
- Senior Minimum Requirements (Salary Range: $97,000-$145,500) and Principal Minimum Requirements (Salary Range: $112,000-$178,900). This includes requirements and qualifications.
- Preferred Experience & Skills: bullet list.
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Pay: anticipated starting base pay: $97,000 to $178,900 per year.
- Schedule: hybrid work model: many roles expected to work onsite three days per week (Tuesday–Thursday); however, work location expectations vary based on role, team, and business needs.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not duplicate lines.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation request, etc.
We must not include Job ID.
We must not include navigation/legal.
We must output only HTML fragment.
We need to decide which sections to include.
We have content for:
- About the role: could include the Position Summary and maybe company description? The instruction: "About the role" heading for section headings. So we can put the Position Summary there.
- Responsibilities: Essential Responsibilities list.
- Requirements: maybe combine Senior Minimum Requirements and Principal Minimum Requirements? Could be "Requirements". But also there is "Qualifications". The instruction allows both. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements = minimum qualifications, Qualifications = preferred or additional. But we have both Senior and Principal minimum requirements (two levels). Could treat them as Requirements. Then Preferred Experience & Skills as Skills or Qualifications. The instruction says we can have Skills section. So we can put Preferred Experience & Skills under Skills.
- Benefits: list.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: hybrid work model.
We must not include sections with no content.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract substantive info:

That's generic but could be part of About the role.
Position Summary: "Applies extensive technical expertise and has full knowledge of other related disciplines. Performs as a staff advisor and consultant in a technical specialty, a type of facility or equipment, or a program function. Carries out complex or innovative assignments requiring the development of new or improved techniques and procedures. Work is expected to result in the development of new/improved techniques and procedures or new/refined equipment, materials, processes, products, and/or scientific methods. Represents the organization as the prime technical contact on contracts and projects and interacts with senior external personnel on significant technical matters often requiring coordination between organizations. Work is performed without appreciable direction and considerable latitude is exercised in determining technical objectives of assignment. Guidance relates largely to overall objectives, critical issues, new concepts and policy matters. Completed work is reviewed from a relatively long- term perspective, for desired results. May assign tasks to and direct engineers, technicians, craft personnel and administrative staff, including coordination and review of work assignments. Responsible for (and may lead) multiple projects of moderate to large size or portions of major projects. This role requires a balance of technical acumen and strong communication skills, as the senior engineer will need to convey technical concepts clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

We need to output HTML with headings
and content
or
- .
We must not repeat job title.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation request, etc.
We must not include navigation/legal.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We need to decide which sections to include.
We have content for About the role (company description + position summary). Could combine both into About the role.
Responsibilities: essential responsibilities.
Requirements: maybe combine senior and principal minimum requirements? Could be separate sub-sections? But we only allowed headings list; we could have Requirements and then within that we could have paragraphs distinguishing senior vs principal. Or we could have Qualifications for preferred experience & skills. But we also have Skills section for preferred experience & skills. Let's map:
- Requirements: minimum requirements (both senior and principal). Could be two paragraphs: Senior Minimum Requirements and Principal Minimum Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe not needed if we use Skills for preferred experience & skills. But we could also put Qualifications for preferred experience & skills. However the instruction says we can use Skills section. So we can put Preferred Experience & Skills under Skills.
- Benefits: list.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: hybrid work model.
We must not include sections with filler like "not specified". All have content.
Now we need to ensure we don't include duplicate content like salary ranges repeated in requirements sections (they have salary ranges). That's okay; we preserve them.
We must not include the line "Senior Minimum Requirements (Salary Range: $97,000-$145,500)" as a heading; we can embed that as a paragraph or strong text. But we should keep the info.
We need to avoid including the phrase "Salary Range:" inside a heading; we can keep it in paragraph.
Now produce HTML.
Structure:
About the role
Company description + Position Summary (maybe two paragraphs). Could combine into one paragraph but might be long; still okay. Better to split: first paragraph company description, second paragraph position summary.
