We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes Overview ABOUT THE POSITION (but we shouldn't repeat job title as heading). The content includes overview paragraphs, responsibilities list, qualifications list, salary range, benefits description. Also mention hybrid work environment? Not explicit schedule but mentions hybrid work environment. Could include Schedule? Not explicit schedule details; only mention hybrid work environment. Might not create Schedule section unless specific. Pay: we have salary range $135k-$200k. So include Pay section. Benefits: they describe benefits package. So include Benefits section. Skills: maybe not explicit separate list; qualifications include skills. Could combine Qualifications and Skills? But we need to follow headings: Qualifications, Skills. Could put qualifications under Qualifications heading, and maybe skills under Skills heading (like strong communication, client relationship management, business development). However the qualifications list includes many items; we could split: Qualifications: BS in Civil Engineering required; MS preferred; Virginia PE license required; 11+ years experience; DBIA certification or willingness; etc. Skills: Strong knowledge of VDOT standards, proven ability to lead teams, strong communication, client relationship management, business development skills. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's parse.
Responsibilities: bullet list.
Qualifications: bullet list (education, license, experience, etc.)
Skills: maybe separate bullet list for skills like strong communication, client relationship management, business development, etc.
Benefits: bullet list of benefits.
Pay: paragraph with salary range.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, etc. Also remove "Learn more about the designation here: News | VHB Named 2026 US Best Managed Company | VHB" etc. Also remove "Our people make the difference..." etc. Also remove "VHB is a proud Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep overview paragraphs about role, responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay. Also mention hybrid work environment? It says "HYBRID" in location line and later "flexible, hybrid work environment". That's substantive; could be included maybe under a Schedule? But schedule not specified. Could include a brief note under Overview? Might be okay to include in Overview paragraph. We'll keep overview as is.

We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Virginia Highway Lead". We'll start with maybe an
About the role? The overview is about the position; we can use About the role heading.
Let's craft:

Qualifications:
Qualifications
- BS in Civil Engineering required; MS preferred.
- Virginia PE license required.
- 11+ years of progressive transportation engineering experience with a focus on VDOT roadway design and interstate corridor projects.
- Demonstrated experience managing Design-Build transportation projects preferred.
- Strong knowledge of VDOT standards, procedures, and digital delivery requirements.
- DBIA certification or willingness to obtain.
- Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, manage budgets and schedules, and deliver high-quality transportation solutions.
- Strong communication, client relationship management, and business development skills.
But some of those are skills; maybe we separate Skills.
Better: Qualifications: education, license, experience, DBIA certification. Skills: leadership, communication, etc.
Let's split:

Now Benefits:
We have: comprehensive benefits package includes eligibility to participate in the VHB 401(k) plan, medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, wellness programs, tuition reimbursement, and recognition programs. Also mention Total Rewards Program, annual incentive compensation bonuses, spot bonuses, merit-based salary increases. Also flexible, hybrid work environment. Also maybe mention learning and development supported by evolving tools and technologies, including AI. Also mention collaborative, inclusive culture etc. But those are more culture; maybe still part of Benefits? Could be separate but we only have headings list; we could include them under Benefits as they are part of total rewards. However we should not create sections with filler. We'll include Benefits with bullet list of benefits.
Pay:

The full-time annual base salary range for this position is $135,000 to $200,000 if located in Virginia and Metro DC area. The base salary offered will be determined based on job-related factors, including geographic location, internal equity, experience, credentials, skills, education, work schedule, and other factors permitted by law.
We might also mention that additional compensation and benefits available are outlined in Total Rewards Program. Could include in Benefits.
Schedule: Not explicit; we have hybrid work environment but not schedule details. Could we create Schedule section with mention of hybrid? Might be considered specific content: "flexible, hybrid work environment". That's about schedule. So we could create Schedule section with that sentence.
But the instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states "flexible, hybrid work environment" under "Our people make the difference..." section. So we can include Schedule.
Thus Schedule:
Schedule
Flexible, hybrid work environment.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We used About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Good.
Now we need to strip boilerplate: Remove EEO, legal, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "Learn more about the designation here: News | VHB Named 2026 US Best Managed Company | VHB". Also remove "Our people make the difference..." paragraph? That's partly culture; we used part for Schedule. The rest maybe not needed. We'll keep only the schedule line.
We also need to keep overview paragraphs: The initial overview paragraphs about the role, location list, etc. Let's extract:
Overview ABOUT THE POSITION VIRGINIA HIGHWAY LEAD | RICHMOND, VA | WILLIAMSBURG, VA | VIRGINIA BEACH, VA | TYSONS CORNER, VA | WASHINGTON D.C. | HYBRID VHB is seeking a Virginia Highway Lead to join our growing Transportation team across Virginia. In this leadership role, you’ll help shape the future of mobility throughout the Commonwealth by leading complex VDOT roadway and interstate improvement projects that enhance connectivity, safety, and long-term community resilience. Working alongside a collaborative, multidisciplinary team, you’ll drive innovative transportation solutions across Richmond, Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, Tysons Corner, and the greater DC metro region. This opportunity is ideal for an experienced transportation professional ready to elevate their leadership impact through major infrastructure programs, Design-Build pursuits, and strategic client engagement. You’ll play a visible role in advancing VHB’s transportation presence across Virginia while mentoring emerging professionals, guiding technical delivery, and partnering with clients and contractor teams to deliver transformative transportation projects. At VHB, career growth is fueled by meaningful leadership opportunities, collaborative project delivery, and the ability to make a lasting impact on how communities move and grow. With a strong focus on VDOT transportation design and Design-Build project delivery, this role supports major transportation initiatives including interstate corridor improvements, multimodal infrastructure, and large-scale highway design programs throughout Virginia. This work is part of what earned VHB recognition as a 2026 U.S. Best Managed Company—one of only two firms in the AEC industry to receive this distinction. Sponsored by Deloitte Private and The Wall Street Journal, the award recognizes organizations demonstrating excellence in strategy, innovation, culture, and operational performance.
We should keep that but maybe trim the award sentence? It's substantive. Keep.
Now responsibilities list: we have bullet points after "Responsibilities". Let's extract:
- Serve as Project Manager and Technical Lead on VDOT transportation design and interstate corridor projects across Virginia
- Support Design-Build pursuits and project delivery, coordinating closely with contractor partners to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions
- Lead, grow, and support VDOT transportation contracts and strategic pursuits, including opportunities within the I-81 corridor and statewide infrastructure programs
- Mentor junior engineers and coordinate multidisciplinary design teams to ensure high-quality and timely project delivery
- Provide technical leadership in highway design, geometric layout, grading, drainage, and VDOT standards compliance
- Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders including VDOT, municipalities, contractors, and private-sector clients
- Support business development and strategic growth initiatives through client engagement, proposal development, and pursuit strategy
- Contribute to the continued expansion of VHB’s transportation practice across Richmond, Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, Tysons Corner, and Metro DC markets
- Oversee project budgets, schedules, quality control, and client communication throughout all phases of project delivery
Now qualifications list: after "Qualifications". Let's extract:
- BS in Civil Engineering required; MS preferred
- Virginia PE license required
- 11+ years of progressive transportation engineering experience with a focus on VDOT roadway design and interstate corridor projects
- Demonstrated experience managing Design-Build transportation projects preferred
- Strong knowledge of VDOT standards, procedures, and digital delivery requirements
- DBIA certification or willingness to obtain
- Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, manage budgets and schedules, and deliver high-quality transportation solutions
- Strong communication, client relationship management, and business development skills
Now we split qualifications and skills as earlier.
Now benefits: after "VHB also offers a differentiating work experience , including a comprehensive benefits package that includes eligibility to participate in the VHB 401(k) plan, medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, wellness programs, tuition reimbursement, and recognition programs." Also earlier: "Annual base salary is one component of VHB’s Total Rewards package. In addition to base pay, eligible employees may receive annual incentive compensation bonuses, spot bonuses, and merit-based salary increases, providing opportunities to increase earnings beyond base pay." Also "Learning and development supported by evolving tools and technologies, including AI Best-in-class benefits and a flexible, hybrid work environment". Also "We’re growing across the East Coast and are consistently recognized as a great place to work." That's fluff but maybe keep? It's somewhat generic but still substantive? Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but still promotional. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not those. Could keep but maybe it's fluff. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that sentence about "We’re growing across the East Coast and are consistently recognized as a great place to work." It's substantive? It's a claim but not specific detail. Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed to remove. Safer to keep.
But we already have Schedule section covering hybrid work environment. The
