We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: General Purpose (maybe About the role). Responsibilities (with Additional Responsibilities At The Senior Level). Requirements (with Additional Requirements At The Senior Level). Preferences (maybe Qualifications/Skills). Benefits (listed). Pay (Hiring Range). Schedule (Full Time, 100% onsite). Also location info maybe not needed as heading. We should not repeat job title. We should not include metadata like Req Id etc unless folded into short p. We should drop boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from General Purpose paragraph, responsibilities, requirements, preferences, benefits, pay, schedule. We need to format using

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The posting says "Position will be filled at the level that commensurates with the successful candidate's applicable skills and experience." That's filler? It's somewhat generic but it's actual content. However instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") . So we should avoid creating a section that only contains that phrase. But we could include it within a paragraph maybe under About the role? It's not a heading itself. So we can keep it in prose. We need to decide sections: About the role (General Purpose). Responsibilities. Requirements. Qualifications/Skills (Preferences). Benefits. Pay. Schedule. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's extract content. General Purpose paragraph: "Join a team that is driving the reliability, resiliency, and growth of the electric transmission system that powers our communities. In this role, you will play a key part in planning and delivering critical transmission projects that ensure the grid continues to meet evolving customer needs safely, efficiently, and reliably. You will apply engineering principles and analytical methods to evaluate system performance, identify solutions, and demonstrate compliance with NERC and WECC reliability standards. Your work will directly influence the future of the transmission network and help support the transition to a more sustainable energy future. As a Transmission Planning (Engineer), you will develop and lead a variety of technical studies, engineering analyses, system models, design documents, specifications, and performance assessments that support the planning, design, licensing, construction, operation, and maintenance of transmission facilities and systems. You'll collaborate with professionals across the organization to solve complex challenges, deliver solutions, and make a lasting impact on the communities we serve. If you are energized by solving technical challenges, influencing major infrastructure investments, and contributing to the future of the power industry, this is an opportunity to build a meaningful and rewarding career!" We can put that in

Additional Requirements At The Senior Level: - A minimum of five or more years of directly related experience in transmission modeling, transmission system engineering and/or transmission system planning. We can include that as another
