We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Salary, Background check etc? The rules: Use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a 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. Content: - Salary: $72,000 - $89,000 depending on experience. - Background check, US Citizenship, CAC, and a confidential clearance is required for this position. - Travel is 20% - TMMG is seeking an AutoCAD Technician with electrical design experience to support the Engineering Design Team (EDT), which provides engineering design services to Military Sealift Command (MSC), the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Coast Guard, and commercial maritime operators. - The AutoCAD Technician’s primary mission is to produce, update, and maintain accurate, high-quality marine design drawings (mechanical, structural, and electrical) that support shipboard operations, shipyard installations, modernization efforts, troubleshooting, and equipment commissioning. - This role supports a multi-discipline engineering team (Naval Architecture, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, Automation, and Marine Designers) operating under TMMG’s ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System, with expectations to meet schedules, maintain disciplined configuration control, and deliver drawings that achieve high first-time acceptance. Then sections: Requirements (list of duties). Let's extract bullet-like paragraphs: Requirements Drawing Production, Updates & Release Support - Produce and update marine drawings in AutoCAD including plans, sections, details, diagrams, and installation drawings supporting ship alteration, modernization, and repair design packages. - Convert engineering sketches, markups, and redlines into accurate, properly scaled CAD drawings consistent with TMMG and customer drafting standards. - Convert PDFs, Excel files, scanned drawings, and legacy formats into clean, layered, properly scaled AutoCAD (.dwg) files suitable for controlled release. - Support drawing updates driven by ship checks, engineering changes, and design revisions. Ship Checks, Redlines & As-Built Accuracy - Support ship checks by preparing drawing packages for field use. - Incorporate returned redlines and field notes into updated AutoCAD deliverables. - Maintain strong discipline in as-built accuracy, ensuring drawings reflect verified field conditions and approved engineering intent prior to release. Configuration Control & Document Management - Apply configuration control practices including revision history, clouding, title block updates, drawing logs, and controlled release package completeness. - Maintain organized project folder structures so current and prior revisions can be quickly retrieved by engineering and project leadership. - Coordinate with Project Leads to ensure drawing packages align with project scope, schedule, and customer deliverable requirements. Standards, Compliance & Quality Support - Support drawing development in accordance with EDT expectations to meet applicable ABS, NAVSEA, and USCG requirements as directed by engineering. - Participate in internal quality checks to ensure drawings meet TMMG drafting standards and ISO 9001:2015 requirements. - Perform disciplined self-checks including scale, dimensions, layers, lineweights, notes, callouts, tags, and consistency across drawing sets. Cross-Discipline Coordination - Collaborate daily with engineers and designers across electrical, mechanical, structural, systems, automation, and naval architecture disciplines. - Support coordination of interfaces such as penetrations, equipment footprints, routing constraints, and access/clearance notes as directed by engineering. Schedule, Labor & Status Awareness - Track personal labor hours against assigned work packages. - Maintain awareness of drafting progress versus schedule and communicate status to the Project Lead Engineer / Lead Design Engineer. - Provide early notification of potential delivery risks, rework drivers, or sequencing conflicts. - Maintain awareness of drawing dependencies across disciplines (e.g., structural changes affecting electrical routing). Additional Support - Prepare plots, PDFs, and drawing packages for customer submittals and reviews. - Support additional EDT mission areas as assigned, including shipboard operations support, technical troubleshooting documentation, installation packages, and commissioning documentation. Core Competencies (AutoCAD Technician – EDT) - Marine drafting proficiency and disciplined drawing production. - Configuration control and revision management. - As-built accuracy mindset (ship check / redline integration). - Cross-discipline coordination and communication. - Quality-first delivery aligned with ISO standards. - Schedule and labor awareness with proactive status reporting. Physical Job Requirements - Perform onboard field verification and redline walkdowns of drawings and installations - Climb ladders and access multiple levels of the vessel for layout validation - Enter confined or congested areas (cableways, piping routes, structural zones) - Stand and walk for moderate durations during surveys and coordination efforts - Carry laptops, drawing sets, or tablets (10–15 lbs) onboard - Work in low-light, high-noise, or restricted-access areas as required - Wear required PPE and safely navigate active shipyard and vessel environments Education/Certification Requirements - High School Diploma or GED - CAD Certification - Five (5) years’ experience in Marine AutoCAD drawing production. - Confidential Security Clearance Required We also have: Background check, US Citizenship, CAC, and a confidential clearance is required for this position. Travel is 20% Salary: $72,000 - $89,000 depending on experience. We need to decide sections: Possibly "About the role" (description), "Responsibilities" (list of duties), "Requirements" (education/certification, experience, clearance, citizenship, background check, travel?), "Qualifications" maybe overlapping. But we should avoid thin sections. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine some. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have Salary, Travel, Background check/US Citizenship/CAC/clearance. Those could go under a "Requirements" or "Qualifications" section. Also we have "Pay" maybe for salary. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. We have salary, so we can create a Pay section. We have travel percentage, maybe schedule? Not schedule but travel. There's no explicit schedule (like work hours). So we shouldn't create a Schedule section unless posting states schedule. It doesn't. So we omit Schedule. Benefits: not mentioned. So omit Benefits. We need to use

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

      for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all the duties etc. We need to decide structure: maybe sections: About the role (description paragraph), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (education, experience, clearance, citizenship, background check, travel), Pay (salary). Could also include Qualifications but maybe combine with Requirements. We must not repeat the job title as heading. The job title is AutoCAD Technician. Not to use as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present. We need to remove boilerplate: none seen. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:
