Administration & Facilities Manager
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to those headings where appropriate. We have:
- About the role: description of role (The Opportunity Duties paragraph). Could also include company description? Might be separate but not required. We'll include company description maybe as part of About the role? But better to keep company description as part of About the role? The instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. It didn't say we cannot include company description. We'll include a short paragraph about company under About the role? Or maybe we create a separate section "About the company"? Not in allowed headings list. So we should incorporate it into About the role or maybe drop it? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can include company description within About the role paragraph.
- Responsibilities: duties list (the bullet list under Duties). We'll output - for each duty.
- Requirements: list of requirements.
- Benefits: perks list (Perks Include...). Also maybe "Extended health benefits upon hire..." etc. We'll put under Benefits.
- Pay: compensation range.
- Schedule: maybe mention onsite role, remote work not available. That's schedule info. So we can create Schedule section with that detail.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We must remove boilerplate: "Click here to apply!" etc. Also remove navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Not present.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must preserve all substantive information.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract details.
Company description: "Headquartered in Vancouver BC, with smaller offices in Chile, and China and field operations across Canada and the US, BQE Water Inc. offers industry leading expertise and unique technological solutions for treating wastewater from mining and metallurgical operations that enable environmentally responsible and socially acceptable extraction of natural resources globally."
Opportunity Duties paragraph: "BQE is seeking an experienced and highly organized Office Manager to ensure the smooth day-to-day operation of the corporate head office and serve as the primary point of contact at reception. This role creates a welcoming, organized, and efficient workplace by managing office facilities, supplies, shared spaces, and administrative coordination. The Office Manager plays a key role in supporting staff, visitors, and external partners while maintaining a professional and functional office environment. The ideal candidate is proactive, detail-oriented, and thrives in a fast-paced environment. This is an onsite role based in the Vancouver office; remote work is not available."

Schedule: onsite role based in Vancouver office; remote work not available.
We already have that in About the role paragraph. But we could also create Schedule section with that detail. However we must not duplicate content? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay? It says remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid duplicating the same sentence. The schedule info appears in the Opportunity Duties paragraph: "This is an onsite role based in the Vancouver office; remote work is not available." If we also create a Schedule section repeating that, it's duplication. Better to keep it only once. So we can incorporate schedule info into About the role paragraph (already there). Then we don't need a separate Schedule section. But we could still have Schedule section if we rephrase? That would be duplication. So we omit Schedule section.
Thus sections: About the role (includes company description + opportunity paragraph), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements, Benefits (perks), Pay (compensation). Possibly also Skills? Not needed.
We must not create sections with filler. All have content.
Now format: Use
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to ensure we don't include any markdown fences.
Let's craft HTML.
First section: About the role.
Content: combine company description and opportunity paragraph. Could be two paragraphs.
We'll do:

Second: Responsibilities.
We need to list all duties as - . Could group by subheadings? Not required; just list all items. But we could keep subheadings as plain text? The instruction: use
for section headings only. Subheadings like "Reception" etc are not headings; we could keep them as or just plain text inside - . Probably better to keep them as part of the list item text.
We'll produce a single

Let's list them exactly as given, preserving punctuation.
I'll copy each bullet:
