Business DevelopmentFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings present: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About ABOUT TEEL CONSTRUCTION, INC." then description. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. The posting includes a lot about responsibilities, objectives, departmental leadership, strategic planning, business development, marketing & communications, estimating, procurement, advisory services. There's no explicit "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". So we should not create those sections. We should have sections: About the role? The posting includes "About ABOUT TEEL CONSTRUCTION, INC." maybe treat as About the role? Actually "About the role" is a heading we can use for the introductory paragraph about the role. The posting includes description of role: "We are hiring a Vice President of Preconstruction & Business Development...". So we can put that under

About the role

with paragraphs. Then we need sections for Responsibilities: we have many bullet-like paragraphs describing responsibilities. We can group them under

Responsibilities

with
  • items. Must preserve all substantive info; we need to extract responsibilities from the text. The posting includes sections: OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY, OBJECTIVE & METRICS FOR SUCCESS, DEPARTMENTAL LEADERSHIP, STRATEGIC PLANNING, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS, ESTIMATING, PROCUREMENT, ADVISORY SERVICES. Those are all responsibilities. We can turn each bullet into list items. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate etc. There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule, so we omit those sections. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine the introductory paragraphs: "TEEL Construction has built commercial projects across the Mid-Atlantic and throughout the United States since 1987. We are a second-generation general contractor with a purpose we take literally - Built to Serve - and a client base that keeps coming back: more than 90% of our work is repeat business. We are hiring a Vice President of Preconstruction & Business Development to lead the front end of our business. This is a seat on a tight-knit leadership team, reporting directly to the CEO, with responsibility for 5 connected functions: Estimating, Business Development, Marketing, Advisory Services, and Procurement." We can put that in

    . Then Responsibilities: we need to list each responsibility as

  • . Might be long; we can break into multiple
  • items summarizing each bullet but must preserve all substantive info; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. However we can keep the detailed sentences as list items; that's okay.
