Boiler Operator
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description of duties (under direction, operates...), examples of work (list of duties), requirements (license, knowledge and abilities), title eligibility, salary, notes (some boilerplate). We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove notes about EEO, reasonable accommodation, etc. Also remove Title Eligibility? That's procedural info about provisional appointment; might be considered boilerplate? It's specific to the job but maybe considered part of requirements? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Title Eligibility is about provisional appointment process; not exactly EEO but could be considered procedural. Might keep as part of Requirements? But we need to decide.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep duties list, requirements (license, knowledge, abilities), salary (Pay), maybe Schedule? Not mentioned. Benefits? Not mentioned. So we should not create Benefits or Schedule sections unless present. The posting does not mention benefits or schedule. So we omit those sections.
We need headings: About the role? Could be the introductory description. Could use "About the role" heading for the general description. Responsibilities: list of duties/examples of work. Requirements: license and knowledge/abilities. Qualifications? Might be same as Requirements. But we should not create thin sections. Perhaps combine: About the role (description), Responsibilities (duties list), Requirements (license, knowledge, abilities, title eligibility?), Pay (salary). Avoid duplicate.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Let's extract substantive content:
Intro: "Under direction, operates and makes minor repairs to stationary steam boilers or steam generators and auxiliary boiler equipment serving: (1) a building of public assembly and having the safety valve set at fifteen pounds per square inch gauge or less and having 499 square feet of heating surface or (2) having safety valves set higher than fifteen pounds per square inch gauge and rated over six boiler horsepower but not over 500 boiler horsepower or (3) having safety valves set higher than fifteen pounds per square inch gauge and rated over 500 boiler horsepower but not over 1,000 boiler horsepower on a shift under the general supervision of a properly licensed engineer or (4) having safety valves set higher than 15 pounds per square inch gauge and rated over 1,000 boiler horsepower on a shift under the immediate direction of, and responsible to, a properly licensed engineer in charge of the shift; does related work as required."
Then "NOTE: The definition and examples of work for this title are for illustrative purposes only. A particular position using this title may not perform all duties listed in this job specification. Conversely, all duties performed on the job may not be listed." This is note but maybe we keep? It's not boilerplate but meta. Could keep as part of About the role.
Then "Examples Of Work" list: many bullet-like sentences. We'll convert to - .
Then "Requirements LICENSE: Applicants must possess a current, valid Black Seal Boiler Operator License of the appropriate type (high or low pressure) issued by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development." Then "Appointees will be required to possess a driver's license valid in New Jersey only if the operation of a vehicle, rather than employee mobility, is necessary to perform the essential duties of the position."
Then "Knowledge And Abilities" list: many bullet points.
Then "Title Eligibility" paragraph about provisional appointment process. Might be considered procedural but it's substantive about hiring process. Could include under Requirements or a separate section? The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could incorporate Title Eligibility into Requirements or maybe a separate "Selection Process" but not listed as allowed headings. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put Title Eligibility under Requirements (maybe as part of Requirements). Or we could omit if considered boilerplate? It's not EEO etc. It's specific to the job. I'd include it under Requirements.
Then "Salary C12 ($43,933.60 - $49,755.70)" => Pay section.
Then "Notes Only open to current individuals on the CSC List for the Boiler Operator title." That's a note about eligibility; could be part of Requirements.
Then "Rowan University is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." that's EEO boilerplate; remove.
Then "Reasonable accommodations will be made..." remove.
Then "Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the US..." remove? That's about work authorization; could be considered boilerplate but it's a requirement. However it's typical EEO/legal. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is about work authorization; might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove.
Then "Please note that this position is subject to the NJ First Act..." that's legal; remove.
Then "Only completed online applications submitted on or before the posted deadline will be considered." That's application instruction; remove.
Thus final HTML:
