We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to extract relevant content.
Let's parse the posting.
Position Overview: description about role, schedule, etc. Also includes "Work Schedule: Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m." That's schedule.
Operations Business Office description: maybe part of About the role.
KU offers great benefits: list of benefits.
KU also offers educational and professional development opportunities: tuition assistance.
KU’s excellence ... diversity statement: maybe not needed? It's boilerplate? Might be considered EEO? It's about diversity, but not exactly EEO. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The diversity statement might be considered EEO? It's about inclusion; could be considered EEO boilerplate. Safer to remove.
KU is not able to provide immigration sponsorship for this position. That's maybe a note; could be considered boilerplate? Might be relevant but it's a restriction. Might keep? Not sure. It's not a standard EEO but it's a sponsorship note. Might keep as part of About the role? Probably not needed; but we can keep if it's substantive. However instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. This is not exactly EEO but similar. I'd remove.
Job Description sections: 40% CMMS Operations and Service Coordination (list of duties). 30% Data Management and System Integrity. 25% Administrative and Operational Support. 5% Additional Responsibilities.
Position Requirements: Primarily sedentary work... Ability to lift... Valid driver’s license.
Required Qualifications: high school diploma or GED equivalent and one (1) year of experience... OR one (1) year of post-secondary education. One (1) year of experience using computer systems...
Preferred Qualifications: list of skills.
Additional Candidate Instructions: application instructions (cover letter, resume, references) - we must remove application instructions.
Contact Information to Applicants: Tanya Childers email - maybe keep as contact? It's not boilerplate but it's contact info. Might be considered part of application instructions? Probably we should keep as it's substantive contact. However instruction: remove application instructions. Contact info is not instructions; it's contact. Might keep.
Advertised Salary Range Starting at $40,000 -> Pay section.
Application Review Begins Monday October 5, 2026 -> maybe part of schedule? Not schedule. Could be part of About the role? Might be considered metadata; we could put in a short p.
Anticipated Start Date Monday November 2, 2026 -> also metadata.
We need to decide sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role: combine Position Overview, Operations Business Office description, maybe mission statement, schedule? But schedule separate.
- Responsibilities: combine the four percentages (CMMS Operations, Data Management, Administrative Support, Additional Responsibilities) into a list.
- Requirements: Position Requirements (physical, driver's license).
- Qualifications: Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications combined? Could separate into Required and Preferred but we only have headings: Qualifications, Skills. Could put Required under Qualifications, Preferred under Skills.
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Pay: Advertised Salary Range Starting at $40,000.
- Schedule: Work Schedule Monday-Friday 7:30-4:00.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: include Position Overview paragraph, plus Operations Business Office description, plus KU mission statement? The mission statement about supporting learning etc. Might be considered boilerplate? It's descriptive of KU Operations; could be kept as part of About the role. The diversity statement we might remove. The immigration sponsorship note maybe remove.
