We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Keep all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro paragraph about HDR culture, mission, etc. That's "About the role"? Actually it's about company. Could be "About the role" or "About HDR". The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" heading and include the intro paragraph(s) that describe role and company.
Then list of duties: "In the role of Visual Communications Coordinator, we’ll count on you to:" followed by bullet list of responsibilities. Those are many lines. We'll put under

Then list of duties: "In the role of Visual Communications Coordinator, we’ll count on you to:" followed by bullet list of responsibilities. Those are many lines. We'll put under Responsibilities
with - each.
Then "Preferred Qualifications" list: bullet points. That's qualifications/skills. Could be under
Preferred Qualifications
but we have headings: Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says we can use those headings. We need to decide. Probably separate sections: "Qualifications" for required and preferred? But we have both Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine under Qualifications heading with sub-sections? But we must not invent headings not listed; we can use Qualifications heading and include both required and preferred as lists. Or we could have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as separate headings? Not in the list but maybe allowed? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exhaustive. But safer to stick to those. We have Requirements and Qualifications. Could put Required Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred under Qualifications. Or combine.
We also have "What We Believe", "Our Commitment", benefits description, compensation range, location, schedule, etc. Those could go under Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the benefits paragraph, compensation range per location, schedule (Full-time), employee status (Regular), etc.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
Let's extract substantive sections:
Intro: "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.

Read further to learn how you could help make great things possible not only in your community, but around the world."
That's about company; we can put under About the role.

Then "What We Believe" and "Our Commitment" paragraphs about culture, employee ownership, etc. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "About HDR". But we only have headings list; we could put under About the role as well.
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."
Also note: "(Stated benefits are for full-time regular positions. Temporary and part-time roles eligible for limited benefits.)"
Pay: compensation ranges per location:
- Chicago, IL: $30.58 - $43.69 per hour
- Los Angeles, CA: $31.97 - $45.68 per hour
- New York, NY: $34.75 - $49.65 per hour
- San Francisco, CA: $36.14 - $51.64 per hour
Also "The expected compensation range for this position depends upon skills, experience, education and geographical location."
Schedule: "Schedule:Full-time" and "Employee Status:Regular". Also "BusinessClass:Marketing and Admin". Could include under Schedule or maybe a separate section but we have Schedule heading.
We also have "Primary Location:United States-Illinois-Chicago Other Locations:United States-California-Los Angeles, United States-California-San Francisco, United States-New York-New York". Could include under Schedule or maybe a separate "Location" but not in list. Could fold into Schedule or maybe under About the role. But we should preserve location info. Could add a short paragraph under About the role or maybe under a heading "Location". Not in list but maybe okay. However instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., so we could add Location if needed. But to be safe, we could include location info within About the role or Schedule. Probably better to add a short paragraph under About the role that includes primary location and other locations.
Also "Industry:Marketing/Communications". Could be included in About the role.
"Job Posting:Sep 15, 2026" maybe metadata; we can drop or fold into short p.
We must not include duplicated lines.
Now construct HTML.
We'll have:
About the role
Intro paragraph(s) plus location, industry, job posting date maybe.
Responsibilities
...
Required Qualifications
maybe use Requirements heading? Actually we have Requirements heading. Could use Requirements
for required qualifications. And Qualifications
for preferred? Or we could combine.
Let's decide: Use Requirements
for required qualifications. Use Qualifications
for preferred qualifications (or Skills). But we also have Skills heading; we could put skills under Skills. However the preferred qualifications list includes many skills/experience. Could treat as Skills.
Better: Use Requirements
for required qualifications. Use Skills
for preferred qualifications (skills). Or we could have both Required and Preferred under Qualifications.
Given the instruction's examples include Qualifications and Skills separate, we can do:
- Requirements
for required qualifications.
- Skills
for preferred qualifications (or maybe combine both). But we also have "Qualifications" heading; we could put both required and preferred under Qualifications, but then we lose distinction.
Let's do:
Requirements
(required)
Preferred Qualifications
(but not in list). Might be okay as it's specific content. The instruction says use headings e.g., but not limited to. So we can add Preferred Qualifications heading.
Similarly we could have Benefits
, Pay
, Schedule
.
Thus final sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler. All have content.
Now craft HTML.
We need to ensure we don't include any markdown fences.
Let's write.
Inside for About the role: combine intro, location, industry, job posting date.
Intro: "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.

Add location: "Primary Location: Chicago, IL. Other locations: Los Angeles, CA; San Francisco, CA; New York, NY." Industry: "Industry: Marketing/Communications." Job posting date: "Posted: September 15, 2026."
Make sure to keep the link as is? The original had "Watch Our Story:' https://www.hdrinc.com/our-story'" with a stray quote. We'll keep as "Watch Our Story: https://www.hdrinc.com/our-story". Probably fine.
Now
