We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Title: Transportation Engineer I (and II). But we shouldn't repeat job title as heading. - About the role: description of role: "Performs transportation engineering work in one or more functional areas such as planning, project development and design, construction, transportation/traffic operations and maintenance. Ensures compliance with applicable federal and state laws, policies, procedures, standards and guidelines. Work requires contact with governmental officials and private entities.

We can combine into About the role. - Responsibilities: Essential Duties list for both levels. Need to list duties. The posting includes many duties: Assists with design, computer operations and plan preparation; Drives/travels to project/work locations to make on-site engineering reviews, analyses, tests and to provide technical support; Interprets manuals and required guidelines for traffic operations; Leads/Trains professional and administrative staff; May serve as a lead worker and the related tasks; Performs engineering design work such as development of layouts, sketches, plans, specifications, estimates and contracts; Provides technical assistance in drainage design, resolution of drainage complaints, hydraulics evaluations and other hydrology matters; Represents the district/division at various meetings; Utilizes project management principles in initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, controlling and closing for transportation projects; Performs other job responsibilities as assigned. For Transportation Engineer II: includes those above plus: Performs complex engineering design work such as development of layouts, sketches, plans, specifications, estimates and contracts; Trains engineering staff; Makes presentations and represents TxDOT; Writes/reviews proposals and estimates for letting; Performs other job responsibilities as assigned. We can combine responsibilities for both levels, but we need to preserve all substantive info. Could list responsibilities as bullet points covering both. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: Education: Bachelor's degree in engineering or related science bachelor's or higher degree accepted by TX PELS. (Applicable to both levels). Transportation Engineer I Experience: 4 years engineering, transportation engineering, or related engineering experience (Experience can be satisfied by full time or prorated part time equivalent).

Thus Requirements section could include education, experience, licenses. - Qualifications: Could be similar to Requirements? Usually Qualifications separate from Requirements? Might combine. But we need to follow instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes "Minimum Qualifications" and "Licenses and Certifications". Could treat that as Requirements. Qualifications maybe "Competencies" section? There's a Competencies section: Transportation Engineer I Considerable knowledge of Hydrologic, hydraulic and geotechnical design activities and principles; Applicable plans, specifications and estimates preparation, review, processing and compliance requirements; Construction phasing and sequencing; Pavement concepts, methods, policies and requirements; Applicable engineering workstations and applications to support efficient planning and design activities; Proficient skill in Performing basic design and drafting; Planning, coordinating and handling multiple projects within area of responsibility to meet short and long-term deadlines; Training in a classroom, office, or field environment; Maintaining a safe and effective working relationship with others; Other attributes Exercises logic and reasoning to define problems, establish facts and draw valid conclusions; making decisions that support business objectives and goals. Transportation Engineer II - The competencies for this job include those listed above and the following: Considerable knowledge of Highway construction design and applications; Cost estimating and cost controls; Proficient skill in Planning, assigning, directing, coordinating and reviewing the work of professional, administrative and technical employees. Thus we could have Skills section for competencies. - Benefits: The posting includes "Benefits And Perks At TxDOT, we value work-life balance and are committed to providing our employees with a comprehensive range of benefits and programs, including: Retirement Plans Alternative and/or Flexible Work Schedules Paid Leave and Holidays Health Premiums paid at 100% for Full-Time Employees On-the-Job Training Tuition Assistance Program Holistic Wellness Program with Leave Incentives Career Development and Advancement Opportunities Family-Friendly Policies and Programs In 2024, TxDOT was recognized as a Best Place for Working Parents, and many of our offices statewide are also designated as Texas Mother-Friendly Worksites.

For a complete list of our total compensation package please visit our website at: Total Compensation Package To view benefits available to all State of Texas employees visit: Benefits at a Glance | ERS (texas.gov)". So we have benefits content. - Pay: Not mentioned. No salary info. So we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: The posting includes "Job Engineering/Engr Support Schedule Full-time Employee Status Regular". So schedule: Full-time. Also maybe "Alternative and/or Flexible Work Schedules" mentioned under benefits. But schedule specifics: Full-time. So we can include Schedule section with Full-time. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, conditions of employment link, etc. Remove duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to decide which content goes in which section. Let's outline:

  About the role

  ... prose describing role ...

  Responsibilities

  • Assists with design, computer operations and plan preparation
  • Drives/travels to project/work locations to make on-site engineering reviews, analyses, tests and to provide technical support
  • Interprets manuals and required guidelines for traffic operations
  • Leads/Trains professional and administrative staff
  • May serve as a lead worker and the related tasks
  • Performs engineering design work such as development of layouts, sketches, plans, specifications, estimates and contracts
  • Provides technical assistance in drainage design, resolution of drainage complaints, hydraulics evaluations and other hydrology matters
  • Represents the district/division at various meetings
  • Utilizes project management principles in initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, controlling and closing for transportation projects
  • Performs other job responsibilities as assigned
  • Performs complex engineering design work such as development of layouts, sketches, plans, specifications, estimates and contracts (Transportation Engineer II)
  • Trains engineering staff (Transportation Engineer II)
  • Makes presentations and represents TxDOT (Transportation Engineer II)
  • Writes/reviews proposals and estimates for letting (Transportation Engineer II)
  But note some duplication: "Performs engineering design work such as development of layouts, sketches, plans, specifications, estimates and contracts" appears for both levels; we could keep one but we need preserve all substantive info; duplication may be okay but we could keep both? Might be considered duplicate lines; instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid duplicate bullet points. So we need to combine. Thus list unique duties: - Assists with design, computer operations and plan preparation - Drives/travels to project/work locations to make on-site engineering reviews, analyses, tests and to provide technical support - Interprets manuals and required guidelines for traffic operations - Leads/Trains professional and administrative staff - May serve as a lead worker and the related tasks - Performs engineering design work such as development of layouts, sketches, plans, specifications, estimates and contracts - Provides technical assistance in drainage design, resolution of drainage complaints, hydraulics evaluations and other hydrology matters - Represents the district/division at various meetings - Utilizes project management principles in initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, controlling and closing for transportation projects - Performs other job responsibilities as assigned - Performs complex engineering design work such as development of layouts, sketches, plans, specifications, estimates and contracts (Transportation Engineer II) – but this is similar to previous; maybe we differentiate as "Performs complex engineering design work..." vs "Performs engineering design work...". Could keep both as distinct. - Trains engineering staff (Transportation Engineer II) – but we already have "Leads/Trains professional and administrative staff". Might be similar but more specific to engineering staff. Could keep both? Might be considered overlapping. Safer to keep both as they are distinct: leads/trains professional and administrative staff vs trains engineering staff. - Makes presentations and represents TxDOT - Writes/reviews proposals and estimates for letting Thus we have list. Now Requirements section: Education, Experience, Licenses. We could do:

  Requirements

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in engineering or related science (bachelor's or higher degree accepted by TX PELS)
  • Transportation Engineer I: 4 years engineering, transportation engineering, or related engineering experience (full‑time or prorated part‑time equivalent); related graduate‑level education may be substituted for experience on a year‑for‑year basis
  • Transportation Engineer II: 5 years engineering, transportation engineering, or related engineering experience (full‑time or prorated part‑time equivalent); related graduate‑level education may be substituted for experience on a year‑for‑year basis
  • Licenses and Certifications: Valid driver’s license (position requires driving a state vehicle); Professional Engineer license (or ability to obtain Texas PE license within six months of hire for engineers licensed in another U.S. state)
  We need to preserve all detail: mention "Licensed Prof Engineer*Professional engineers licensed in another state in the United States, but not currently licensed in the State of Texas, must (1) meet the license requirements of the State of Texas Engineering Practices Act, (2) obtain a professional engineering license from the State of Texas within six (6) months of the date of hire, and (3) sign an agreement to that effect as a condition of employment." So we need to include that. Thus bullet: Licenses and Certifications: Valid driver’s license (position requires driving a state vehicle); Professional Engineer license – if licensed in another U.S. state, must meet Texas Engineering Practices Act requirements, obtain Texas PE license within six months of hire, and sign agreement.
