- About WSP: includes description, but we might treat as "About the company" maybe not needed. The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can include About the role (intro), Responsibilities (Your Impact), Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits, Pay. Schedule: not mentioned explicitly except "Must be flexible to a variety of schedules to meet business needs" but that's not a schedule detail; we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It mentions occasional travel may be required, but not schedule. So we omit Schedule.
We should not include duplicated lines. Also remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. The "About WSP" section includes some boilerplate but also description of company; we could include as "About the company" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not add About WSP as a heading; maybe we can incorporate that info into About the role or omit. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine About the role and About WSP into About the role? But About the role already covers role description; About WSP is company overview. Might be okay to include as a separate section but not in allowed headings; maybe we should omit it to stay within allowed headings. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; omitting company overview might lose substantive info. But maybe it's considered boilerplate? It's not exactly boilerplate; it's description of WSP. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company overview is not those. So we should keep it. But we need a heading; allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Could we use "About the role" to also include company overview? Might be okay to expand About the role to include both role and company. Or we could create a heading "About WSP" but that's not in the list; but the instruction says use
.

- About WSP: includes description, but we might treat as "About the company" maybe not needed. The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can include About the role (intro), Responsibilities (Your Impact), Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits, Pay. Schedule: not mentioned explicitly except "Must be flexible to a variety of schedules to meet business needs" but that's not a schedule detail; we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It mentions occasional travel may be required, but not schedule. So we omit Schedule.
We should not include duplicated lines. Also remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. The "About WSP" section includes some boilerplate but also description of company; we could include as "About the company" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.

So we could combine About the role and About WSP into About the role? But About the role already covers role description; About WSP is company overview.

Could we use "About the role" to also include company overview? Might be okay to expand About the role to include both role and company. Or we could create a heading "About WSP" but that's not in the list; but the instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. So we can use other headings if appropriate, as long as they are meaningful. But better to stick to those examples. However we can still use "About the company" as a heading; it's similar to About the role. I'd choose to include a section "About the company" with the WSP description. But the instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, just gives examples. So we can use About the company.
But to be safe, we could incorporate the company description into About the role section, making it longer but still substantive. That would preserve info. Let's do that: About the role includes both role description and company overview.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown.
We'll produce:
About the role
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, just gives examples. So we can use About the company.

We should not include Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive info: include location info, mention of offices, Earth & Environment Team, primary focus, ideal candidate, etc. Also include "Your Impact" bullet list exactly. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We are not. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove duplicated lines: there may be duplicated benefit description later in About WSP; we already captured benefits once; we should not duplicate. We must remove EEO etc. At end there is EEO statement; we will omit. Also remove "Notice To Third Party Agencies" etc. Now craft the HTML. Let's write the About the role paragraph: Combine: "WSP is currently initiating a search for a Transmission Siting and Permitting Project Manager in New England. This position will be located in our Boston, Chelmsford, Foxboro, MA or Merrimack, NH office.
