We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Job Description This Opportunity ...". We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job description.
Let's extract content:
- About the role: The first paragraph after "Job Description This Opportunity" maybe: "WSP is currently initiating a search for a Wetland Delineator/Environmental Scientist for our Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, Akron, Toledo or other regional offices." Then "Your Impact" bullet list. So we can treat "About the role" as description of role and impact.
- Responsibilities: The bullet list under "Your Impact" includes many duties: assist with planning and execution of wetland delineations and stream assessments; perform duties as a wetland field team lead; understand GPS; support preparation of field equipment, mapping, Safe Work Plans, logistics; perform data entry, analysis, report compilation; assist with governmental agency coordination; assist and lead preparation of wetland delineation reports and permit applications; field projects may require long hours etc. So we can put those as

Let's structure:
About the role
WSP is currently initiating a search for a Wetland Delineator/Environmental Scientist for our Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, Akron, Toledo or other regional offices.
Your Impact:
- Assist with planning and execution of wetland delineations and stream assessments for linear and renewable energy projects in the Midwest.
- Perform duties as a wetland field team lead in accordance with current USACE 1987 Manual and Regional Supplements.
- Potential to support other natural resource surveys as needed.
- Understand how to operate a GPS unit to collect field data, map habitat types and sensitive resources.
- Support preparation of field equipment, mapping, Safe Work Plans, and logistics for field work.
- Perform data entry, data analysis and report compilation.
- Assist with various governmental agency coordination (USFWS, USACE, EPA, etc.).
- Assist and lead preparation of wetland delineation reports, and permit applications for federal and/or state environmental permits, including USACE Section 404 and Section 10, state wetland and stream permits, NPDES, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service coordination, and state natural heritage agency coordination.
- Field projects may require long hours and/or be physically demanding, and may require being on foot 10-12 hours per day traversing various topography while carrying equipment in varying weather conditions.
But note: The "Your Impact" bullet list includes the last bullet about long hours; maybe that belongs to Schedule but it's okay.
Now Responsibilities: Could be same as above? Actually we already used those as Impact. Might be duplication. Perhaps better: About the role: brief description; Responsibilities: the bullet list; Requirements: required qualifications; Qualifications: preferred qualifications; Skills: maybe combine some; Benefits; Pay; Schedule.
We need to avoid duplication. Let's decide:
- About the role: short paragraph about the opportunity and location.
- Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties (the "Your Impact" list). We'll include all duties.
- Requirements: the "Required Qualifications" list.
- Qualifications: the "Preferred Qualifications" list.
- Skills: maybe we can extract skill-specific items: Proficient with data management, organization and MS Office Suite; Experience with GPS field data collection; Plant identification of Midwest vegetation; Experience with use of ArcGIS, ArcOnline, ArcCollector and ArcGIS Enterprise, Trimble GPS units and Terrasync software; Strong technical writing skills, clear communicator, ability to work as part of multidisciplinary teams, attention to detail; Knowledge of USACE 401/404 permitting, Section 10 permitting and mitigation requirements. But some of these are already in Requirements or Preferred Qualifications. To avoid duplication, maybe we skip Skills section. But instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Skills into Requirements/Qualifications. However we need to follow headings list; we can omit Skills if no specific content not already covered. But we have skill-specific content not captured elsewhere? Required qualifications includes "Proficient with data management, organization and MS Office Suite." Preferred qualifications includes ArcGIS etc. So we could keep Skills separate but risk duplication. Better to omit Skills and let Required and Preferred cover.
- Benefits: as described.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: details about long hours, 10-12 hours per day, possibly two weeks out of month, etc.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, notice to third party agencies, etc.
Now craft HTML.
Check for any duplicated lines: The "Your Impact" list includes the long hours bullet; we might move that to Schedule instead to avoid duplication. Let's separate: Responsibilities list excludes the long hours bullet; Schedule includes that bullet plus the willingness to work long hours for two weeks out of month.
Let's extract responsibilities bullet list without the long hours bullet:
- Assist with planning and execution of wetland delineations and stream assessments for linear and renewable energy projects in the Midwest.
- Perform duties as a wetland field team lead in accordance with current USACE 1987 Manual and Regional Supplements.
- Potential to support other natural resource surveys as needed.
- Understand how to operate a GPS unit to collect field data, map habitat types and sensitive resources.
- Support preparation of field equipment, mapping, Safe Work Plans, and logistics for field work.
- Perform data entry, data analysis and report compilation.
- Assist with various governmental agency coordination (USFWS, USACE, EPA, etc.).
- Assist and lead preparation of wetland delineation reports, and permit applications for federal and/or state environmental permits, including USACE Section 404 and Section 10, state wetland and stream permits, NPDES, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service coordination, and state natural heritage agency coordination.
Now Schedule bullets:
- Field projects may require long hours and/or be physically demanding, and may require being on foot 10-12 hours per day traversing various topography while carrying equipment in varying weather conditions.
- Willing to work long hours in the field for possibly two weeks out of the month or more during peak periods of fieldwork.
Now Required Qualifications bullets (as listed):
- 5+ years of experience conducting wetland delineations and stream assessments, preferably in Ohio and surrounding states.
- Bachelors of Arts or Bachelors of Science degree in Environmental Science, Ecology, Environmental Studies, Biology or related field.
- Familiarity with USACE wetland data forms, ORAM wetland data forms, and QHEI and HHEI stream data forms.
- Experience with GPS field data collection.
- Plant identification of Midwest vegetation.
- Willingness to learn and implement various field methods for collection of data.
- Proficient with data management, organization and MS Office Suite.
- Attention and commitment to timely completion of high-quality work, often independently motivated.
- Flexibility and adaptability to meet fast-paced demands.
- Willing to work long hours in the field for possibly two weeks out of the month or more during peak periods of fieldwork. (Note: This duplicates schedule; but it's in required qualifications. We'll keep it there; schedule may still have it but we can keep duplicate? Better to avoid duplication. Since it's already in Required Qualifications, we could omit from Schedule. But schedule still has the long hours foot 10-12 hours per day. We'll keep schedule bullet about foot hours and physically demanding; we can omit the "willing to work long hours for two weeks out of month" from schedule to avoid duplication. However the required qualifications includes that; we keep it there.
- High level of motivation and an ability to work as a team lead or independently as part of various teams.
- Positive attitude and willingness to learn.
- Exercise responsible and ethical decision-making regarding company funds, resources and conduct and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and related policies and procedures.

- Strong technical writing skills, clear communicator, ability to work as part of multidisciplinary teams, and attention to detail.
- Knowledge of USACE 401/404 permitting, Section 10 permitting and mitigation requirements.
Benefits paragraph: We can turn into list.
Benefits: medical, dental, vision, disability, life; retirement savings; paid sick leave; paid vacation (or other personal time); paid parental leave; paid time off for purposes of bereavement, voting, and/or attendance at naturalization proceedings.
We'll make list.
Pay: Expected Salary (all locations): $83,000 - $105,000.
