Transportation Engineer in Training
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
First line: "Are we the road to your future? We are currently searching for an experienced Transportation Engineer in Training to support our Gulf Region located in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee." That's about the role.
Then "To be considered for this position, applicants must have, at minimum, 2 years of experience in either Traffic or Roadway design." That's requirement.
Then "What You’ll Be Doing" list of duties.
Then "What You Need To Have" list of qualifications.
Then "Bonus Points If You Have" list of bonus skills.
Then "Why Volkert?" description.
Then "Key Benefits" list.
Then quote from CEO.
Then EOE etc (boilerplate to remove). Also "Volkert does not accept unsolicited resumes..." (application instructions) to remove. Also location codes at end.
We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe combine intro). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (minimum experience). Qualifications (education, certifications). Skills (maybe bonus points? Actually skills could be familiarity with DOT standards etc). Benefits (Key Benefits). Pay and Schedule not present, so omit.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Transportation Engineer in Training.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, etc.
Let's extract content.
Intro paragraph: "Are we the road to your future? We are currently searching for an experienced Transportation Engineer in Training to support our Gulf Region located in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee." That's about the role. Could be placed under
About the role
with a .
Next: "To be considered for this position, applicants must have, at minimum, 2 years of experience in either Traffic or Roadway design." That's a requirement. Could be under Requirements.
But also there is "What You Need To Have" list: BS in Civil Engineering, EIT (E.I.) Certification, 2–4 years of experience, Familiarity with DOT design standards, MUTCD, and AASHTO, Self-starter..., Ability to communicate..., Willingness..., Ability to pass pre-employment drug screening..., Volkert adheres..., Valid driver’s license..., etc. That's qualifications/requirements.
We need to separate maybe Requirements (minimum experience) and Qualifications (education, cert, etc). But we can combine if needed. However we should follow instruction: use headings for sections like Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have:
- About the role (intro)
- Responsibilities (duties list)
- Requirements (maybe the 2 years experience? but also includes other qualifications)
- Qualifications (education, cert, etc)
- Skills (maybe bonus points? Or familiarity with software etc)
- Benefits (Key Benefits)
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler.
Let's extract each.
Responsibilities list (under "What You’ll Be Doing"):
- Collect and analyze data for inclusion in project plans, technical reports, and engineering studies
- Assist with the development of traffic impact studies, interchange access requests, safety studies, traffic signal warrant studies, land use planning, master plan studies, bikeway planning and design, and community and campus planning
- Prepare and assist in preparing roadway design plans using OpenRoads Designer
- Work on traffic signal design plans for new intersections and signal modifications to facilitate multimodal accommodations
- Work on temporary traffic control plans/traffic management plans (TMP) and signing and pavement marking plans
- Assist in preparing conceptual intersection layouts, schematics, and signal timings
- Contribute to the preparation and modification of engineering reports and calculations for a wide variety of projects
- Prepare and assist in preparing project construction quantities, cost estimates, specifications, and schedules
- Review quantity estimates, details, calculations, and drawings for compliance with project requirements
- Attend project meetings with clients
- Learn project budgets to meet financial metrics
- Potential to learn and participate in business development activities
- Perform other duties as assigned
That's a list.
Requirements: maybe the "To be considered for this position, applicants must have, at minimum, 2 years of experience in either Traffic or Roadway design." That's a specific requirement. Also maybe "Valid driver’s license and a satisfactory motor vehicle report (MVR)" is a requirement. Also "Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screening". Also "Willingness and motivation to curate and eventually develop a personal client base". But those could be qualifications.
Better to follow typical sections: Requirements = mandatory qualifications (education, experience, certifications). Qualifications = maybe preferred? But we have both required and bonus.
Let's decide:
- Requirements: BS in Civil Engineering, EIT Certification, 2–4 years of experience, Valid driver’s license and satisfactory MVR, Ability to pass pre-employment drug screening (maybe). Also maybe "Self-starter capable of completing tasks with minimal oversight" etc could be skills.
- Qualifications: maybe "Familiarity with DOT design standards, MUTCD, and AASHTO", "Ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing", "Willingness and motivation to curate and eventually develop a personal client base". Those are more like skills/attributes.
- Skills: Bonus points: Experience with OpenRoads Designer, Familiarity with traffic analysis software such as VISSIM, Synchro/SimTraffic, Sidra Intersection, or HCS, Experience with transportation planning, including comprehensive corridor analysis, local programs, public involvement, safety and access, pedestrian and bicycle planning, multimodal planning, and traffic operations.
But also some of those appear in responsibilities (OpenRoads Designer). However we can still list.
We need to avoid duplication? Not required to deduplicate but preserve all substantive info. Duplication okay but we should not invent.
Let's extract exact phrases.
From "What You Need To Have":
- BS in Civil Engineering
- EIT (E.I.) Certification
- 2–4 years of experience
- Familiarity with DOT design standards, MUTCD, and AASHTO
- Self-starter capable of completing tasks with minimal oversight
- Ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing
- Willingness and motivation to curate and eventually develop a personal client base
- Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screening to ensure a safe and productive work environment.
- Volkert adheres to federal guidelines, which may include testing for substances such as marijuana. Please note that federal regulations may differ from state-specific guidelines
- Valid driver’s license and a satisfactory motor vehicle report (MVR)
Note: The Volkert adheres sentence is more like a note; maybe we keep as part of requirements? It's substantive but maybe we can keep as a
under Requirements.
But we need to avoid boilerplate like EEO etc. This is not boilerplate; it's about drug testing policy. Keep.
Now "Bonus Points If You Have":
- Experience with OpenRoads Designer
- Familiarity with traffic analysis software such as VISSIM, Synchro/SimTraffic, Sidra Intersection, or HCS
- Experience with transportation planning, including comprehensive corridor analysis, local programs, public involvement, safety and access, pedestrian and bicycle planning, multimodal planning, and traffic operations
Now "Why Volkert?" paragraph: "Volkert is employee owned and a Top 100 design firm, committed to providing clients with creative solutions for sustainability, including improvements to infrastructure, the environment, and natural resources. Founded in 1925, Volkert is celebrating a century of serving our employees, clients, partners, and communities."
That's about the company; could be under About the role or a separate section? Not listed in headings but we could put under About the role as additional prose.
Then "Key Benefits" list:
- Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
- Medical, Dental, & Vision
- 401(k) retirement savings plan + employer matching
- Paid Time Off (PTO) and holidays
- Employer-Paid Life/AD&D insurance
- Employer-Paid short-term disability and long-term disability
- Wellness incentives
- Student Debt Retirement Match
- Additional voluntary benefits
Then quote from CEO: could be under About the role as a
or separate section? Not a standard heading but we could include as part of About the role.
We must not create Pay or Schedule sections.
Now produce HTML.

(maybe as note). Also maybe "Self-starter capable of completing tasks with minimal oversight" could be a skill but we can put under Requirements.
But we also have Qualifications and Skills sections. Let's allocate:
