Apprentice Freight Car Repair - Hermiston, OR

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short

  or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Reference Number: 5323 (minor metadata, can be in a short p) - Department: Mechanical - Closing Date: Apply early as this job may be filled at any time. (maybe not needed) - Rate of Pay: $36.36 (Pay section) - Most communications will be done electronically. Please check email, including spam folders, daily. If you wish to solicit an employee referral for this position, please ensure the employee submits the referral prior to submitting your application. (application instructions, remove) - Description: Join our team... (prose) - Accountabilities: list of duties (responsibilities) - Qualifications - Required: list (qualifications) - Qualifications - Preferred: list (qualifications/skills) - Physical Requirements: list (maybe part of qualifications or separate) - Work Conditions: list (maybe part of qualifications) - What We Offer: list (benefits) We need sections: maybe About the role (description), Responsibilities (accountabilities), Requirements (qualifications required + preferred?), Skills (maybe combine preferred?), Benefits (what we offer), Pay (rate of pay). Schedule? Not mentioned. So we should not create Schedule section. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Pay is stated: Rate of Pay: $36.36. Benefits: "What We Offer" includes benefits. So we can have Benefits section. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include reference number, department maybe in a short p at top. We must not repeat job title as heading (the page already shows it). No job title given in snippet, but we ignore. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. So we can have a

  with Reference Number: 5323, Department: Mechanical. We need to remove application instructions like "Most communications will be done electronically..." etc. Also "If you wish to solicit an employee referral..." etc. Also "Closing Date: Apply early as this job may be filled at any time." Might be considered minor metadata; we could include in short p or drop. Probably drop as it's not substantive? It's about timing; maybe we can include in a short p but it's not required. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can put reference number, department, closing date in a short p. Now sections: - About the role: description paragraph(s). The description includes: "Join our team at one of North America's leading railroad companies and embark on a comprehensive three-year training program to become a skilled Freight Car Repairer! As an apprentice in this role, you will gain in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in inspecting, repairing, and rebuilding freight cars. Every day, you'll be actively involved in conducting inspections, executing scheduled and on-demand maintenance tasks, and skillfully repairing or replacing defective components on our rolling stock. We are powered by our people, will you join our team?" That's prose. - Responsibilities: the Accountabilities list. Each bullet is a duty. We'll put

  • for each. - Requirements: Qualifications - Required list. Also maybe Physical Requirements and Work Conditions could be part of Requirements? But we can keep them under Requirements as sublists? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Required qualifications, Physical Requirements, Work Conditions into Requirements section. But we need to preserve all info. Could make subheadings? Not allowed; only

    for section headings. So we can't have subheadings inside a section. We could just list all items under Requirements as a combined list. That would lose distinction but preserve all info. However we might lose nuance but still preserve content. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Combining lists is not summarizing away detail; it's just grouping. That's acceptable. But we also have Qualifications - Preferred list; could be considered Skills section. The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we could have Requirements (required) and Skills (preferred). But we also have Physical Requirements and Work Conditions; maybe those go under Requirements. Let's decide: Section headings we will use: - About the role (description) - Responsibilities (accountabilities) - Requirements (required qualifications + physical requirements + work conditions) - Skills (preferred qualifications) - Benefits (what we offer) - Pay (rate of pay) We will not include Schedule. Now we need to ensure we don't create empty sections. All have content. Now we need to format lists. Let's extract each piece.

The last two sentences are more about company statement; maybe we can include as part of Requirements? It's not a requirement per se but it's substantive. We'll include as a

    maybe inside Requirements? But we said we will use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. So we can have prose paragraphs inside Requirements as well. However the instruction: "Use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

        for prose." So if we have prose, we use

        . So we can have a
