We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings
for sections present: About the role? Actually we have Job Summary, Job Description, What You'll Do, Preferred Qualifications And Experience, What We're Looking For, Where you’ll work, What you’ll get, etc. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to extract content and put under appropriate headings.
We should not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to decide which headings to use.
We have:
- Job Summary: description of role: "This position is within the East Transmission Planning Modeling organization supporting the PJM region. The role is responsible for the development, maintenance, validation, and quality assurance of transmission system models and associated data used in transmission planning, reliability assessments, operational studies, and NERC compliance activities. The position works closely with internal stakeholders, PJM, neighboring transmission owners, and operations personnel to ensure accurate representation of the transmission system and planned future network changes."
That could go under About the role.
- Job Description: "What You'll Do:" list of essential functions. That's Responsibilities.
- Preferred Qualifications And Experience: that's Qualifications (or Requirements). Could be Qualifications.
- What We're Looking For: includes grade levels, experience, education, PE etc. That's also Qualifications/Requirements. Could combine.
- Where you’ll work: location New Albany, Ohio. Could be maybe not a standard heading; but we could put under About the generic "About the role"? Not exactly. There's no heading for location. Could we create a section? The allowed headings list does not include location. So we should not create a heading not in list. We could embed location in a paragraph under About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably better to put under About the role as additional detail.
- What you’ll get: compensation ranges and benefits. That's Pay and Benefits. We have Pay section for salary ranges, Benefits for benefits description.
- Also there is "Compensation Data" with grade and range; also "Physical Demand Level". Physical Demand could be maybe not a standard heading; we could omit if not in list. But we could include under Benefits? Not exactly. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we should not create sections like Physical Demand if not in allowed list. So we can omit that.
- Also there is EEO boilerplate etc to remove.
Thus we will produce sections:
About the role
with paragraph(s) summarizing job summary and location.
Responsibilities
with - list of essential functions.
Qualifications
with combined preferred qualifications and what we're looking for (education, experience, PE, etc). Could also separate Requirements vs Qualifications but we only have Qualifications heading allowed. We'll put all there.
Pay
with salary ranges: Engineer/Engineer Technologist Senior SG8($110,000-$129,000) etc. Also maybe mention compensation range $98,993.00 - $177,503.00. We'll include all.
Benefits
with description: "In addition to competitive compensation, AEP offers a unique comprehensive benefits package that aims to support and enhance the overall well-being of our employees." plus maybe the mission statement? That's more about company culture; but we can include as part of Benefits? Might be okay. Could also put under About the role? But we have Benefits heading; we can put the benefits description.
We must not include Schedule heading because no schedule info.
We must not include Skills heading unless we have specific skills list; we have skills mentioned in qualifications but we can keep under Qualifications.
We must not invent or summarize away detail; preserve all substantive info. So we need to keep all details from the posting.
Let's extract details precisely.
Job Summary paragraph: "This position is within the East Transmission Planning Modeling organization supporting the PJM region. The role is responsible for the development, maintenance, validation, and quality assurance of transmission system models and associated data used in transmission planning, reliability assessments, operational studies, and NERC compliance activities. The position works closely with internal stakeholders, PJM, neighboring transmission owners, and operations personnel to ensure accurate representation of the transmission system and planned future network changes."
Location: "Where you’ll work: This role sits on site in New Albany, Ohio"
We can combine: maybe two paragraphs.
Responsibilities list: from "What You'll Do:" then list of essential functions. Let's extract each bullet:
- Develop, maintain, and validate transmission system models used for planning, operational, reliability, and compliance studies utilizing industry modeling tools such as PSS-ODMS and PSS®E.
- Accurately model transmission system topology, impedance, ratings, and configurations for transmission lines, transformers, generators, breakers, and associated equipment across Medium, High, and Extra High Voltage facilities.
- Develop and maintain future network models that incorporate load growth, generation additions and retirements, transmission upgrades, system reconfigurations, and other planned projects while ensuring accurate representation of the as-built system.
- Coordinate with area planning, operations, engineering, project management, and external entities including RTO’s, neighboring transmission owners, and interconnecting entities to obtain, validate, and implement modeling and equipment data.
- Support PJM planning model development processes, including coordination of baseline, near-term, and long-term planning models, PJM submittals, model reviews, and responses to PJM data requests.
- Perform data validation, discrepancy resolution, and model quality reviews using both programmatic and manual techniques to identify errors, inconsistencies, and outdated modeling practices.
- Participate in the planning, organization, and execution of project work activities while managing multiple assignments and deadlines.
- Support compliance with applicable NERC Reliability Standards, including activities related to data quality, model accuracy, evidence retention, and compliance reporting.
- Apply engineering judgment, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills to resolve technical issues, investigate data anomalies, and develop sustainable solutions.
- Support continuous improvement initiatives through process development, process documentation, implementation of best practices, training, and knowledge transfer activities.
We need to keep them as list items.
Qualifications: combine Preferred Qualifications And Experience and What We're Looking For.
Preferred Qualifications And Experience list:
- Experience developing, maintaining, validating, and analyzing transmission planning models using PSS-ODMS, Siemens PSS®E, ASPEN OneLiner, TARA, or similar power system analysis tools, including the implementation of equipment data, topology changes, generation interconnections, load modifications, facility ratings, and future transmission projects.

- Experience developing, improving, documenting, and implementing engineering or business processes.
- Strong communication, organizational, and collaboration skills with the ability to work independently, manage large volumes of technical data, and coordinate effectively with internal and external stakeholders.
What We're Looking For: includes grade levels and requirements.
We need to capture all details:
"Note: This position is posted in a range. The final grade and compensation offered will be based on the successful candidate's education, experience, and relevant skills."
Then Engineer/Engineering Technologist Senior SG8: Has typically acquired 4 or more years of related engineering experience along with a Bachelor's degree in engineering in a program accredited by ABET*; Or 2 years of related engineering experience along with a Master's degree or PhD in engineering from a program accredited by ABET*; Registration as a Professional Engineer (PE) in any U.S. state or Puerto Rico** is encouraged and preferred. Acceptable alternative: Bachelor's degree in engineering (non-ABET) plus a Master's degree or PhD in engineering from a university with an ABET accredited Bachelor's program.** Confirmation is required to ensure the PE obtained in Puerto Rico aligns with NCEES standards.
Engineer/Engineering Technologist Principal SG9: Has typically acquired 8 or more years of related engineering experience along with a Bachelor's degree in engineering in a program accredited by ABET*; Or 6 years of related engineering experience along with a Master's or PhD in engineering from a program accredited by ABET*.

We need to preserve all that text. It's long but we must include.
We could put it as paragraphs; but we should not lose detail.
We'll put under Qualifications heading: maybe a paragraph summarizing that the role is posted in a range and final grade based on education/experience, then list the three grade levels with their requirements.
We'll keep the exact wording.
Pay section: includes:
"What you’ll get: Engineer/Engineer Technologist Senior SG8($110,000-$129,000) Engineer/Engineer Technologist Principal SG9(116,000-$151,000) Engineer Staff SG10($136,000-$177,000) In addition to competitive compensation, AEP offers a unique comprehensive benefits package that aims to support and enhance the overall well-being of our employees."
Also Compensation Data: Compensation Grade: SP20-008 Compensation Range: $98,993.00 - $177,503.00
We should include both.
Thus Pay section could have paragraphs: the specific grade ranges and the overall compensation range.
Benefits section: "In addition to competitive compensation, AEP offers a unique comprehensive benefits package that aims to support and enhance the overall well-being of our employees." plus maybe the mission statement about Putting the Customer First Powers Everything We Do etc. That is more about company culture; but we could include as part of Benefits? Might be okay but it's not exactly benefits. However we have no other heading for culture; we could put under About the role? But we already used About the role for summary and location. Could add another paragraph there about company mission. That seems okay.
Thus Benefits section will just have the benefits package sentence.
We must not include
