Automation Engineer
for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to extract content from posting.
Let's parse the posting:
Intro paragraph about values etc. Then "Position Summary" paragraph: "This position will support the Ste Genevieve Plant directly using existing automation systems and provide technical support as required by the plant. This role will be the liaison between the site management, division and corporate automation teams. Automation technologies will be used to facilitate data-driven decisions leading to improved production efficiency, safety & quality."
Then "Responsibilities & Expectations" with many bullet-like sentences. Then "Attributes" list. Then "Physical Demands Include, But Are Not Limited To". Then "Required Education". Then "Preferred Education". Then "Required Experience". Then "Preferred Experience". Then benefits paragraph: "Lhoist North America is proud to offer a highly competitive compensation package designed to support your well-being and future. Our benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, along with paid vacation and sick time. We also offer an attractive 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan with a generous Employer Match as well as a Supplemental Contribution based on your Years of Service to help you plan confidently for the future. We recognize that growth doesn’t stop at the workplace. That’s why we provide educational assistance to encourage continued learning and professional development, empowering our employees to reach their full potential. At Lhoist North America, your success is our investment."
Then EEO boilerplate etc. Then accommodation contact.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "If you need assistance completing the application process..." etc.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe position summary). Responsibilities (the big list). Requirements (maybe education and experience). Qualifications (maybe attributes). Skills (maybe specific technical skills). Benefits (the benefits paragraph). Pay (not mentioned explicitly, so we should NOT create Pay section). Schedule (not mentioned). So we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting, but we can format as lists.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We need to decide what goes where.
"About the role": could be the Position Summary paragraph.
"Responsibilities": the big block under Responsibilities & Expectations. We'll break into list items.
"Requirements": maybe Required Education and Required Experience? Or we could separate Education and Experience under Requirements. But we have also Preferred Education and Preferred Experience. Could put under Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements (required education/experience), Qualifications (attributes/preferred), Skills (technical skills). Let's map.
Responsibilities: list of duties.
Requirements: Required Education and Required Experience.
Qualifications: Preferred Education and Preferred Experience? Also maybe Attributes (knowledge, abilities). But Attributes includes knowledge of PLC system design etc., ability to perform advanced math, self-motivated, etc. Those could be Skills or Qualifications. Let's decide: Qualifications could be the Attributes (knowledge, abilities). Skills could be technical proficiencies: PLC system design, VFDs, HMIs, Factory Talk View SE, process instrumentation, supervisory software and networks, advanced algebra and statistics, etc. But there is overlap.
Better: Use Qualifications for the Attributes list (knowledge, abilities, communication, interpersonal, problem-solving, reading docs). Use Skills for technical proficiencies: PLC system design (Rockwell Automation preferred), VFDs, HMIs, Factory Talk View SE, process instrumentation, supervisory software and networks, advanced algebra and statistics, AutoCAD experience highly desired, etc. Also maybe "Proficiency in windows based operating systems and networking." That's skill.
But we need to preserve all info; we can split.
Let's extract details:

We need to exclude boilerplate: EEO, accommodation contact, etc.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with sections.
We must not create Pay or Schedule sections because not mentioned.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (education + experience), Qualifications (attributes), Skills (technical proficiencies), Benefits.
But we have overlapping technical proficiencies in Attributes and Preferred Experience. We could put technical proficiencies under Skills, and keep Attributes under Qualifications (soft skills). Let's extract:
