We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description about HDR, role description, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Watch Our Story:" link? Probably remove as it's not substantive? It's a link to story; maybe we can keep as part of About the role? But it's a link; we can keep as part of description? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Watch Our Story:" link is not EEO; it's a promotional link. Might keep? It's not essential but could be considered part of About the role. However it's a link; we can keep as part of paragraph.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract content:
Intro paragraph about HDR employee-owners, welcoming environment, diversity, etc. That's about company culture. Could go under About the role? Or maybe we can have About the role section summarizing role description.
Then description: "As part of HDR’s Field Services team, you’ll be on the front lines of infrastructure development, making sure that what’s designed is built to the highest standards. From highways and bridges to water treatment plants, transit systems, and power facilities, your work ensures that our clients’ visions become reality, with precision, integrity, and excellence. Our construction professionals; Construction Managers, Inspectors, Resident Engineers, and field specialists bring deep technical knowledge, hands-on experience, and a commitment to quality that sets industry benchmarks. Your contributions are critical to delivering successful, resilient infrastructure. This isn’t just a job, it’s a chance to lead in the field, uphold the highest standards, and leave a legacy of quality that communities can rely on for generations. We are all employee-owners at HDR, which is the foundation of our collaborative culture that connects employees around the world."
Then specific role: "HDR is looking for a Construction Inspector to perform construction engineering and inspection duties on highway and bridge construction projects in North Carolina utilizing NCDOT policies and procedures. This includes materials testing, proper reporting and documentation utilizing any other required means. The candidate must be able to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications and be able to identify discrepancies or conflicts within the documents as well as enforcement of these contract documents. Work may be located throughout the state of NC and effort will be made to keep candidates close to their geographic location in NC if possible."
Then Preferred Qualifications bullet list: Minimum of 1 year of experience inspecting transportation projects required; Strong written and verbal communication skills; Ability to work independently or as part of team; Work requires travel to meetings, site visits, and inspections.; Must be licensed to operate motor vehicles in accordance with applicable state law; NCDOT experience preferred; Experience with MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook); Management experience a plus; Local candidates preferred.
Then Required Qualifications bullet list: High School diploma or equivalent. (Candidates with 8 years of relevant construction inspection experience may substitute experience for a high school diploma); A minimum of 3 years experience; Proficient with MS Office (Word/Excel/Outlook); Proven problem-solving and documentation abilities; Ability to work independently and as part of a team; This position typically requires successfully passing drug-screening procedures prior to being hired; thereafter subject to random and cause drug and alcohol testing; An attitude and commitment to being an active participant of our employee-owned culture is a must.
Then "What We Believe" paragraph about HDR culture, Employee Network Groups, etc. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "About HDR"? But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could map:
- About the role: includes intro about HDR, role description, maybe the "What We Believe" paragraph.
- Responsibilities: could list duties: perform construction engineering and inspection duties, materials testing, reporting, reading drawings, identifying discrepancies, enforcement, travel, etc.
- Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings. Usually Requirements = mandatory qualifications; Qualifications = preferred? But we need to decide. The instruction: Use headings as given. We need to include section only when posting has real specific content. We have both Required and Preferred qualifications. Could put Required under Requirements, Preferred under Qualifications. Skills could be separate: maybe list skills like MS Office, communication, problem-solving, etc. But we might combine.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting states them. The posting includes Schedule: Full-time, Employee Status: Regular, BusinessClass: Field Services, Job Posting date. It also includes Primary Location etc. It does not mention Pay or Benefits explicitly. So we should not create Pay or Benefits sections. Schedule is mentioned: Full-time. So we can include Schedule section with that info.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Required Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe combine some), Schedule.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's extract specifics.
About the role: Could include the introductory paragraphs about HDR culture, employee-owners, mission, and the role description: "As part of HDR’s Field Services team, you’ll be on the front lines..." plus the specific role description about Construction Inspector.
Responsibilities: list duties: perform construction engineering and inspection duties on highway and bridge construction projects in NC utilizing NCDOT policies and procedures; materials testing; proper reporting and documentation; read and interpret construction drawings and specifications; identify discrepancies or conflicts within documents; enforcement of contract documents; work may be located throughout NC; effort to keep candidates close to geographic location; travel to meetings, site visits, and inspections.
Requirements (Required Qualifications): High School diploma or equivalent (with substitution note); Minimum of 3 years experience; Proficient with MS Office (Word/Excel/Outlook); Proven problem-solving and documentation abilities; Ability to work independently and as part of a team; Must pass drug-screening prior to hire and subject to random/cause drug and alcohol testing; Attitude and commitment to being active participant of employee-owned culture.
Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications): Minimum of 1 year experience inspecting transportation projects; Strong written and verbal communication skills; Ability to work independently or as part of team; Work requires travel to meetings, site visits, and inspections (already in responsibilities but okay); Must be licensed to operate motor vehicles per state law; NCDOT experience preferred; Experience with MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook); Management experience a plus; Local candidates preferred.
Skills: Could list: MS Office proficiency, communication skills, problem-solving, documentation, ability to work independently/team, travel, motor vehicle license, etc. But many overlap with qualifications. Might be redundant. Perhaps we can omit Skills section if content overlaps heavily; but we need to include only when posting has real specific content. We could still include Skills with items like "MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)", "Strong written and verbal communication", "Problem-solving and documentation", "Ability to work independently and as part of a team", "Travel to meetings/site visits/inspections", "Motor vehicle license". However these are already in qualifications. Might be okay but could be considered duplication. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is okay as long as we preserve info. But we should avoid unnecessary repetition? Not explicitly forbidden. However they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Skills into Qualifications or Responsibilities. Better to have fewer sections.
Thus we could have: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Schedule.
That's five sections.
Now we need to format: Use

That's five sections.
Now we need to format: Use for each heading. Then content: use
for prose,
- for lists. We must not include any extra markup like or . Just the fragment. Let's craft. About the role: combine intro paragraphs and role overview. Paragraph 1: "At HDR, our employee-owners are fully engaged in creating a welcoming environment where each of us is valued and respected, a place where everyone is empowered to bring their authentic selves and novel ideas to work every day. As we work to weave diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and foster a sense of belonging throughout the company and within our communities, we constantly ask ourselves: What is our impact on the world?" Could include link? Might drop link as it's not essential. But we could keep as a link: Watch Our Story. However the instruction didn't forbid links. It's not boilerplate. Might keep. Paragraph 2: "Each and every role throughout our organization makes a difference in our ability to change the world for the better. Read further to learn how you could help make great things possible not only in your community, but around the world.
