Automotive Lead Technician
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
7. 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")
8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting content:
- Company Overview: This is about Bridgestone Retail Operations (BSRO). Could be "About the company" or "Company overview" section.
- Position Summary: Describes the Lead Technician role, includes pay range and flat-rate pay explanation.
- Responsibilities: List of duties.
- Minimum Qualifications: List of required qualifications.
- Preferred Qualifications: List of preferred qualifications.
- Our Crew Knows Benefits: List of benefits.
- OUR VALUES GIVE BACK TO YOU: Values section with Professional Development, Community Involvement, Integrity & Teamwork.
- At Bridgestone, you are Free to Be: Diversity/inclusion statement.
- What We Offer: More benefits/perks.
- Equal Employment Opportunity: Boilerplate - should remove.
- Employment Eligibility: Boilerplate - should remove.
I need to decide on sections. The rules say use
for section headings like "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". I should only include sections with real content.
Potential sections:
1. About the role (or Position Summary) - includes summary and pay info.
2. Responsibilities - list.
3. Requirements (or Minimum Qualifications) - list.
4. Preferred Qualifications - list.
5. Benefits - from "Our Crew Knows Benefits" and "What We Offer" maybe combine.
6. Values - from "OUR VALUES GIVE BACK TO YOU" and "At Bridgestone, you are Free to Be" maybe combine as "Values" or "Culture".
But the rules say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So I should consolidate.
Also, the pay range is given: $23.81 - $48.03, and explanation of flat-rate pay. That could be a "Pay" section.
Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned, but "Flexible work schedule" is in benefits. Could be a "Schedule" section if there's specific info. The posting says "Flexible work schedule" as a benefit, but not details. Might not warrant a separate Schedule section.
Benefits: There's a list under "Our Crew Knows Benefits" and also "What We Offer" includes more. I'll combine into a Benefits section.
Values/Culture: Could be a "Culture" or "Values" section.
But the rules say: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So I'll include sections that have substantive content.
Let me structure:
- About the role (or Position Summary) - includes the summary paragraph and pay details.
- Responsibilities - list.
- Requirements - list (minimum qualifications).
- Preferred Qualifications - list.
- Benefits - list (combining both benefits lists).
- Values - prose (the values and diversity statements).
But note: "What We Offer" includes some duplicate benefits and more. I'll merge.
Also, the company overview could be part of "About the company" but the rules say "About the role" is a heading example. The job posting includes "Company Overview" and "Position Summary". I think "About the role" could encompass both, but maybe separate "Company overview" and "Position summary". However, the rules say "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So "About the role" is suggested. I'll use "About the role" for the position summary and pay info. The company overview could be a separate "Company overview" section, but that's not in the example list. The example list includes "About the role". I'll include company overview as a short paragraph under "About the role" or as a separate "Company overview" heading? The rules say "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "e.g." So I can use other headings if needed. However, "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine company overview into the role summary.
Let's see: The posting starts with "Company Overview" then "Position Summary". I'll create a section "About the role" that includes both the company overview and position summary, but the company overview is about the company, not the role. Might be better to have "Company overview" and "Position summary" as two subsections? But the rules say use for section headings. I could do:
Company overview
...
Position summary
...
But that might be too many thin sections. The company overview is a paragraph, position summary is a paragraph plus pay info. Could combine into one "About the role" section with two paragraphs.
I'll do:
About the role
Company overview paragraph...
Position summary paragraph including pay range and flat-rate explanation...
Then Responsibilities, Requirements, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Values.
Now, the "Our Crew Knows Benefits" list and "What We Offer" list. I'll combine into a Benefits section with a list.
The "OUR VALUES GIVE BACK TO YOU" and "At Bridgestone, you are Free to Be" are prose. I'll create a "Values" section with paragraphs.
Now, remove EEO and Employment Eligibility boilerplate.
Also, the pay range is specific, so I'll include a Pay section? The rules say "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states pay range and flat-rate pay details. So I could include a Pay section. But the pay info is part of the position summary. I could either include it in "About the role" or separate "Pay" section. Since the pay info is substantive, I'll include a Pay section.
Similarly, schedule: "Flexible work schedule" is mentioned in benefits, but not detailed. Might not warrant a separate Schedule section.
Let's decide sections:
1. About the role (company overview + position summary)
2. Pay (pay range and flat-rate explanation)
3. Responsibilities
4. Requirements (minimum qualifications)
5. Preferred qualifications
6. Benefits
7. Values
That seems good.
Now, write HTML.
For lists, use - . For prose, use
.
I need to preserve all substantive information. So include all bullet points.
Let's extract content:
