Bridge Maintenance, Heavy Equipment Operator
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the job posting.
Key info:
- Title: Bridge Maintenance HEO (but we don't repeat as heading)
- About: There's a paragraph about Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) and role overview. Could be "About the role" or "About INDOT". Use About the role
maybe.
- Responsibilities: The "A Day In The Life" list of essential functions and additional duties. That's a list of duties. Use - .
- Requirements/Qualifications: "What You'll Need For Success" includes CDL, drug test, knowledge, ability to lift 50 lbs, etc. Also "Heavy Equipment Operator: May need additional requirements..." etc. Also "A degree is not required..." etc. So we can put Requirements.
- Skills: maybe "General Knowledge of Microsoft computer programs" etc. Could be part of Requirements. But we could separate Skills if there is explicit skill list. The posting mentions "Ability to read, interpret and follow technical documents." etc. Might be considered skills. But we can combine.
- Benefits: The "Benefits Of Employment With The State Of Indiana" list. Use
- .
- Pay: Salary info: "The salary for this position traditionally starts at $42,900.00 but may be commensurate with education and work experience." Also CDL extra $1 per hour. That's specific pay info. So we can include Pay section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. No schedule info. So we omit Schedule.
- Also location: "Location: This position is in INDOT's LaPorte District Bridge Maintenance and Repair." Could be included in a short paragraph maybe under About the role or separate? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we can include in a
maybe after About.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove that.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.

But note: The list of additional duties is long; we could break into separate - items for each additional duty to keep clarity. However the instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It's okay to have one
- with a long sentence, but better to split.
Let's split:

- Must possess a valid Class A or Class B Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) or obtain one within the first 90 days of employment.
- Pass and submit to a drug test as a condition of employment.

We could separate Requirements and Qualifications but we can combine into one section "Requirements". Or we could have "Qualifications" for education/experience and "Skills" for abilities. But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have one "Requirements" section covering all.
But we also have Skills: maybe we can separate "Skills" for Microsoft programs, ability to read technical docs, etc. However we can keep them in Requirements.
We also have Benefits section.
Pay section: Salary start $42,900.00, may be commensurate with education and work experience. CDL extra $1 per hour; candidates without CDL get 90 days to obtain then earn extra $1 per hour; CDL training provided onsite.
We should include that.
We must avoid placeholder like "commensurate with experience" - but that is actual content from posting; we can keep it. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". Wait they say never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Does that mean we cannot have a section where the only content is placeholder like "commensurate with experience"? But we have actual salary number plus that phrase. It's not just placeholder; we have a number. So it's okay.
We need to ensure we don't create a Pay section with only "commensurate with experience". We have actual number.
Now Benefits: list as per posting.
Let's extract benefits:
- Three (3) medical plan options (including RX coverage) as well as vision and dental plans

- Employee assistance program that allows for covered behavioral health visits
- Qualified employer for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program
- Free Parking for most positions
- Free LinkedIn Learning access
We'll put each as
