Transportation Planning Section Manager
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to extract content.
We have:
- Intro: "At HDR, our employee-owners are fully engaged..." up to "Read further to learn how you could help make great things possible..." This is about company culture and role context. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About HDR". But we can use "About the role" heading.
- Then description of role: "As part of HDR’s Transportation Business Group..." and then "In the role of Transportation Planning Section Manager, we'll count on you to:" followed by bullet-like list of duties (many sentences). That is responsibilities.
- Then "Preferred Qualifications" list: Master's degree required, Professional registration preferred, 10+ years experience, etc.
- Then "Required Qualifications": Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, minimum 10 years experience, etc.
- Then "What We Believe" etc. Might be about culture; could be part of "About the role" or separate "About HDR". But we can maybe include "About HDR" but not in list of allowed headings? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can also add other headings? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies those are examples; we can use those headings. Probably we should stick to those.
We have content for:
- About the role: could include the introductory paragraphs about HDR mission and the role context.
- Responsibilities: the list after "In the role of Transportation Planning Section Manager, we'll count on you to:" (the long list of duties).
- Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications? Or we could have Requirements (maybe required qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred). The instructions list both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. So we can put Required Qualifications under Requirements
and Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications
(or Skills?). But they also have Skills heading. Could put skills under Skills. However we have both required and preferred qualifications; we could treat Required as Requirements, Preferred as Qualifications.
- Benefits: The posting includes "We provide a comprehensive benefits package..." details. So we can have Benefits section.
- Pay: The posting includes "The expected compensation range for this position is $152,775.00 - $235,710.00 annually..." So we can have Pay section.
- Schedule: The posting includes "Schedule:Full-time". So we can have Schedule section.
We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation etc. Also remove "At HDR, we are committed to the principles of employment equity..." etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact details but we can format as

- . For prose,
. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is Transportation Planning Section Manager. We should not put that as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output ONLY the HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content precisely. Intro paragraphs: "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 foster a culture of inclusion throughout our company and within our communities, we constantly ask ourselves: What is our impact on the world?

We are all employee-owners at HDR, which is the foundation of our collaborative culture that connects employees around the world." That's a big paragraph. Could split into multiple
but we can keep as one
under About the role. Then responsibilities: after "In the role of Transportation Planning Section Manager, we'll count on you to:" then a list of duties separated by periods. We need to convert each duty into

Now Preferred Qualifications:
"Preferred Qualifications Master’s degree in Planning, Engineering, or related discipline required.Professional registration such as AICP, PE, PTOE, PTP, PMP preferred.10+ years of relevant experience with transportation planning projects and programs required.Must have well-developed analytical, organizational, interpersonal, and written communication skills.Experienced in development and management of diverse teams."
We need to split into list items. Each sentence separated by period. Let's extract:
- Master’s degree in Planning, Engineering, or related discipline required.
- Professional registration such as AICP, PE, PTOE, PTP, PMP preferred.
- 10+ years of relevant experience with transportation planning projects and programs required.
- Must have well-developed analytical, organizational, interpersonal, and written communication skills.
- Experienced in development and management of diverse teams.
Now Required Qualifications:
"Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree or equivalent experienceA minimum of 10 years experience Professional registration, license or certification may be required based on role Strong communication and listening skills Ability to handle multiple assignments Good leadership and organizational skills An attitude and commitment to being an active participant of our employee-owned culture is a must"
We need to split into sensible items. The text seems missing punctuation. Let's parse:
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
- A minimum of 10 years experience
- Professional registration, license or certification may be required based on role
- Strong communication and listening skills
- Ability to handle multiple assignments
- Good leadership and organizational skills
- An attitude and commitment to being an active participant of our employee-owned culture is a must
Now Benefits:
"We provide a comprehensive benefits package that promotes employee ownership, employee health, performance, and success, which includes medical, dental, vision, short and long-term disability, life insurance, an employee assistance program, paid time away, parental leave, paid holidays, a retirement savings plan with employer match, employee referral bonus and tuition reimbursement. Stated benefits are for full-time regular positions."
We can make a
or list. Probably a
is fine. Pay: "The expected compensation range for this position is $152,775.00 - $235,710.00 annually depending upon skills, experience, education and geographical location." Schedule: "Schedule:Full-time Employee Status:Regular BusinessClass:Transportation Planning Job Posting:Sep 16, 2026" But we need to extract schedule info: "Schedule:Full-time". Also maybe "Employee Status:Regular". But schedule section only for schedule. We can put "Full-time". The rest maybe not needed. However we could include employee status in schedule? Probably not. We'll just put schedule: Full-time. We need to exclude "Job Posting:Sep 16, 2026" as metadata; could be dropped or put in a short
but instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. We can drop it. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. Also we need to avoid duplication: The intro also mentions "We are all employee-owners at HDR..." which is similar to benefits culture; but we keep. Now produce HTML:

Check that we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed. Now ensure we preserve all substantive information: Did we miss any? Let's double-check. Intro: we included all sentences up to "We are all employee-owners at HDR, which is the foundation of our collaborative culture that connects employees around the world." Good. Responsibilities: we captured all
