Transportation Project Manager
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it; never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text.
We need to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
Thus we can combine sections: maybe "About the role" (intro + location), "Responsibilities" (What You’ll Be Doing), "Requirements" (What You Need To Have + Bonus Points?), "Qualifications" maybe same as Requirements? But we need to decide.
We have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have no explicit Pay or Schedule info. The posting mentions "Ability to maintain project schedules, which may require occasional extended hours and overnight travel" but that's not a schedule of work hours; it's about schedule management. No explicit pay. So we should NOT create Pay or Schedule sections.
Benefits: we have Key Benefits list, so we can include Benefits section.
Skills: we have list of software proficiency, communication skills, etc. Could be Skills section.
Qualifications: we have education, PE license, experience, etc. Could be Qualifications.
Requirements: maybe the minimum 5 years experience etc. But we can combine.
We need to avoid duplication.

Quote from CEO: maybe include as a p under About the role or separate? Could be part of Why Volkert? but we already have Why Volkert? section. Could include quote there.
We need to avoid duplication: The "Why Volkert?" section currently has description; we could add the quote as part of that section.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll produce sections:
About the role
Are we the road to your future? We are currently searching for an experienced Transportation Project Manager to support our Gulf Region located in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Alabama AL Mississippi MS Louisiana LA
But maybe we should not include the raw state abbreviations as they are minor metadata; we could fold into short p: "Located in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee." Already covered. The extra "Alabama AL Mississippi MS Louisiana LA" maybe we can drop as it's redundant. The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short or drop it. So we could drop it.
Thus About the role p: "Are we the road to your future? We are currently searching for an experienced Transportation Project Manager to support our Gulf Region located in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee."
Next section: Responsibilities.

Next: Requirements (or Qualifications). We have both "What You Need To Have" and "Bonus Points". Could combine into Requirements section with sublist? But we need to use - for any list. Could have two lists: one for required qualifications, one for preferred/bonus.
We could have a section "Qualifications" with required, and another "Preferred Qualifications" but we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for preferred? Or Skills for technical skills.
Let's decide:
- Requirements: minimum 5 years experience in Traffic or Roadway design (maybe also the degree, PE license, etc). Actually those are also requirements.
Better: Use Requirements for the mandatory items (degree, experience, PE license, software proficiency, MS Office, communication skills, schedule ability, dependability, drug screening, driver's license). Use Qualifications for the bonus points (ALDOT experience, client relationships, additional PE licenses, certifications, travel demand modeling software, business development/proposal experience). Use Skills for maybe the software proficiency and communication skills? But we already placed software proficiency in Requirements. Could move software proficiency to Skills.
Let's parse:
