We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: About the Department (but we can treat as About the role? Actually "About The Department" is a section. Could map to "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those exact headings if content matches. We have content about department, values, etc. That could go under "About the role". We have salary range info: total salary range for Associate Engineering Technician classification is $88,015.20- $107,103.36. That's Pay. So we can include Pay section with that info. We have responsibilities list: many bullet-like sentences. We'll put under Responsibilities as
  • . We have Minimum Qualifications (Education, Experience, Acceptable Substitutions, Required Licensing). That's Requirements/Qualifications. Could split: Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications) and Qualifications (Other Qualifications/competencies). We have "Other Qualifications" list of competencies. That could be Skills or Qualifications. We'll treat "Qualifications" for Minimum Qualifications, and "Skills" for Other Qualifications competencies. Benefits: not mentioned besides maybe "ongoing non-pensionable compensation" (5%). That's part of Pay. No explicit benefits like health, retirement. So we should not create Benefits section unless stated. Schedule: not mentioned (full-time implied but not explicit schedule). We can omit Schedule. Also we should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodation contact, navigation, etc. Also remove "Visit here to learn more..." etc. Also remove "The City of San José is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Additional Information: Employment Eligibility..." etc. Also remove AI and hiring process etc. Also remove "Selection Process:" maybe that's part of Requirements? It's procedural; we should remove as it's application instructions. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop selection process, contact info, etc. Also drop "This recruitment may be used to fill multiple positions..." etc. Also drop "If you have questions..." etc. Also drop "Please allow adequate time..." etc. Also drop "AI and the Hiring Process". Also drop "Additional Information: Employment Eligibility..." etc. Also drop "The City of San José is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also drop "Visit here to learn more..." etc. Also drop "Our diverse and inclusive workforce..." maybe that's boilerplate but it's about workforce; could be considered About the role? It's generic but maybe keep as part of About the role? It's not specific to the job but about the city. Might be considered boilerplate but it's descriptive of employer. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The workforce description is not EEO but could be considered generic fluff. Might keep as part of About the role? It's not specific to the role but still about the organization. I'd keep it as part of About the role because it's not prohibited. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that description. It's not boilerplate per se; it's about the workforce. We'll keep. Now we need to structure:

    About the role

    That captures About the Department. Now Responsibilities: list of duties. We'll extract bullet points from "Key Responsibilities (Dependent upon the position/discipline for which they may be selected.)" and subsequent sentences. We'll make each sentence a
  • . Ensure we keep all.

        We should not include Benefits or Schedule. Now ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We haven't. Now output only HTML fragment. Check for any leftover boilerplate: we removed EEO, accommodation contact, visit here, equal opportunity, etc. Also removed selection process, additional info, AI and hiring process, etc. Also removed "This recruitment may be used to fill multiple positions..." etc. Also removed "If you are interested in employment..." etc. Also removed "Please allow adequate time..." etc. Also removed "If your online application was successfully submitted..." etc. Also removed "AI and the Hiring Process". Also removed "Additional Information: Employment Eligibility..." etc. Also removed "The City of San José is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also removed "Visit here to learn more..." etc. Also removed "Our diverse and inclusive workforce..." we kept as part of About the role. That's okay. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The description of Development Services (DS) and Engineering Services (ES) and Transportation and Hydraulic Services (THS) divisions. That's substantive about the role; we included some of that in About the role paragraph? We included a brief description of Public Works Department but not the division specifics. The posting includes details about DS, ES, THS. Should we include that? It's substantive about the role/division. We should preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere, maybe under About the role or Responsibilities. Since it's about the department/divisions, we can add a paragraph after the values describing each division's responsibilities. Let's incorporate. We have: Development Services (DS) provides permitting services for development projects and reviews plans and issues of permits for the construction of utility infrastructure and encroachment on City streets. This division is also responsible for managing several programs and ensuring project compliance with local and state regulations, including storm water, flood hazard zones, geologic hazard zones, grading and erosion control, mapping, street and easement vacation, special assessment districts, and transportation and traffic analysis. Engineering Services (ES) is comprised of four sections: Construction Management Services, Structural Engineering and Code Inspection, Material Testing Laboratory, and Survey. This division provides technical support services for Capital Improvement Projects, development/utility permit projects, inspection oversight, Underground Service Alert (USA) services, land surveying, monument preservation services, field and laboratory testing, pavement design and evaluations, and building code inspection services. Transportation and Hydraulic Services (THS) is responsible for the design, construction, and master plan of bridges, culverts, streets, sidewalks, storm and sanitary sewers, pump stations
