We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Intro: "DEPCOM Power is seeking a Category Manager to join the Services team, reporting to the Director of Field Services. This role remains heavily involved in strategic sourcing, procurement, and supply chain management while developing and executing category strategies supporting Restoration Services, Repowering Solutions, and BESS Augmentation. Unlike traditional large-scale EPC procurement, repower work often requires faster turnaround times, smaller quantities, flexible sourcing, and rapid response to evolving site needs. Categories may include modules, battery energy storage systems (BESS), high-voltage equipment, balance-of-system materials, structural components, rental equipment, tooling, and construction materials. The Category Manager partners with Field Services, engineering, construction, project management, logistics, finance, and suppliers to deliver safe, compliant, and cost-effective solutions in a fast-paced, schedule-driven environment. Success in this role requires building trusted partnerships across internal teams and suppliers to translate operational needs into practical sourcing and supply chain solutions while balancing cost, quality, availability, schedule, safety, and risk. Work arrangement: Remote eligible within the United States| Visa sponsorship: Not eligible"
We need to include "Work arrangement" maybe as part of About the role? Not a separate heading unless we have Schedule or Benefits etc. The posting mentions remote eligible, visa sponsorship not eligible. That's not Pay/Schedule/Benefits. Could be part of About the role.
Then "Our Team DEPCOM Power, part of Koch Engineered Solutions, designs, builds, and operates utility-scale solar and energy storage assets across the United States. The Field Services team provides rapid, specialized restoration, repowering, and BESS augmentation solutions for assets affected by site damage, aging equipment, underperformance, or changing operational needs—helping customers protect their investments, improve performance, and extend asset value." This is about company/team, maybe part of About the role.
Then "What You Will Do" with subheadings: Category Strategy & Sourcing, Supplier Management & Value Creation, Project and Operational Execution, Market Intelligence & Risk Management, Contracts, Compliance & Continuous Improvement, Cross-Functional Leadership. These are responsibilities. So we can put under Responsibilities heading.
Then "Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)" list: Experience in supply chain, procurement, strategic sourcing, category management, asset management, or commodity management. Experience using procurement, supply chain, asset, or commodity management systems. Demonstrated supplier negotiation, contracting, and relationship management experience. Ability to build trusted relationships, uncover operational needs, and translate them into effective sourcing solutions. Experience analyzing and improving sourcing processes, category performance, procedures, or scopes of work. Ability to manage multiple priorities and respond quickly in a fast-paced, highly visible environment.
Then "What Will Put You Ahead": Experience supporting EPC, renewable energy, solar, energy storage, repowering, or large-scale construction projects. Knowledge of construction materials, equipment, logistics, lead times, and project scheduling. Experience sourcing smaller quantities or supporting urgent, variable, and project-specific demand. Experience with project financials, cost analysis, and total cost of ownership. Experience developing scalable operations-support systems, processes, or supplier capabilities. Post-secondary degree in supply chain management, business, engineering, construction management, or a related field.
Then "For this role, we anticipate paying $85,000 - $115,000 per year. This role is eligible for variable pay, issued as a monetary bonus or in another form. At Koch companies, we are entrepreneurs. This means we openly challenge the status quo, find new ways to create value and get rewarded for our individual contributions. Any compensation range provided for a role is an estimate determined by available market data. The actual amount may be higher or lower than the range provided considering each candidate's knowledge, skills, abilities, and geographic location. If you have questions, please speak to your recruiter about the flexibility and detail of our compensation philosophy."
We need Pay section: include the salary range and variable pay info. Should we include the extra commentary? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include the pay details exactly as given, but we can remove fluff like "At Koch companies, we are entrepreneurs..." maybe that's not substantive? It's more philosophy; but it's part of compensation philosophy. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not standard legal boilerplate; it's about compensation philosophy. Might be okay to keep? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly those. It's about compensation philosophy; could be considered substantive? It's somewhat generic but still part of posting. I'd keep it as part of Pay section.
Then "Hiring Philosophy All Koch companies value diversity of thought, perspectives, aptitudes, experiences, and backgrounds. We are Military Ready and Second Chance employers. Learn more about our hiring philosophy here." This is EEO/diversity statement; should be removed as boilerplate (equal-opportunity). So remove.
Then "Who We Are As a Koch Engineered Solutions company, DEPCOM Power is a leading energy solutions partner for the utility solar and broader energy industries, providing project development support, engineering, procurement and construction, energy storage, repowering, and operations and maintenance services. Our highly skilled team of conventional and renewable power industry experts works to deliver the lowest cost of energy and the highest rate of return. At Koch, employees are empowered to do what they do best to make life better. Learn how our business philosophy helps employees unleash their potential while creating value for themselves and the company." This is company description; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? There's no specific heading for "About the company". We could include under About the role or maybe a separate "About the company" but not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can incorporate company description into About the role.
Then "Our Benefits Our goal is for each employee, and their families, to live fulfilling and healthy lives. We provide essential resources and support to build and maintain physical, financial, and emotional strength - focusing on overall wellbeing so you can focus on what matters most. Our benefits plan includes - medical, dental, vision, flexible spending and health savings accounts, life insurance, ADD, disability, retirement, paid vacation/time off, educational assistance, and may also include infertility assistance, paid parental leave and adoption assistance. Specific eligibility criteria is set by the applicable Summary Plan Description, policy or guideline and benefits may vary by geographic region. If you have questions on what benefits apply to you, please speak to your recruiter. Additionally, everyone has individual work and personal needs. We seek to enable the best work environment that helps you and the business work together to produce superior results."
We need Benefits section: include the benefits list. Remove boilerplate like "Specific eligibility criteria is set by the applicable Summary Plan Description, policy or guideline and benefits may vary by geographic region." That's still substantive? It's about eligibility; maybe keep? It's not boilerplate; it's detail. However, we might keep it. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not those. So keep.
Then "Equal Opportunities Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability and protected veteran status. Except where prohibited by state law, some offers of employment are conditioned upon successfully passing a drug test. This employer uses E-Verify. Please click here for additional information. (For Illinois E-Verify information click here, aquí, or tu)." This is EEO boilerplate; remove.
Also need to remove duplicated lines, application instructions like "If you have questions, please speak to your recruiter about the flexibility and detail of our compensation philosophy." That's in Pay section; it's not exactly application instruction but it's a pointer to recruiter. Might be considered application instruction? It's about compensation philosophy; maybe keep? It's not directly "apply here". I'd keep.
Also "If you have questions on what benefits apply to you, please speak to your recruiter." That's in Benefits; similar. Keep? It's a pointer to recruiter; maybe considered application instruction? It's not exactly applying; it's asking about benefits. Might be okay to keep.
Now we need to structure.
We'll have sections:

Now we need to structure.
We'll have sections:
About the role
with paragraphs covering intro, work arrangement, team description, company description.
Then Responsibilities
with subheadings? The instruction: Use for section headings. For subheadings inside responsibilities, we could use ? Not allowed? Only for section headings. But we can use
? Not allowed? Only for section headings. But we can use
with bold? Not allowed? We can just use
and maybe include the responsibility headings as part of paragraph text. Could also use
- for each responsibility bullet. The responsibilities are grouped under headings like Category Strategy & Sourcing etc. We could treat each as a
- with the heading as part of the text. Or we could make a
- with each responsibility area as a
- containing a heading and then details. That seems okay.
Similarly for Qualifications: we have Basic Qualifications and What Will Put You Ahead (preferred qualifications). Could combine into Qualifications section? There's also Skills maybe separate? The posting doesn't have a separate Skills section; skills are embedded in qualifications. We could put all qualifications under Qualifications heading. Or we could split into Requirements (basic) and Qualifications (preferred). But allowed headings include Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide.
We have "Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)" - that's basic qualifications. Then "What Will Put You Ahead" - preferred qualifications/experience. Could map Basic Qualifications to Requirements, and What Will Put You Ahead to Qualifications. Skills maybe not separate; we could omit Skills section if no specific skills list.
Thus:
Requirements
(basic qualifications) with- each bullet.
Qualifications
(preferred) with- each bullet.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Pay section:
Pay
with paragraph(s) containing salary range and variable pay info. Benefits section:Benefits
with- list of benefits. Schedule section: Not present; remote eligible within US is work arrangement, not schedule. No schedule info. So we omit Schedule. Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract the About the role content. Intro paragraph: "DEPCOM Power is seeking a Category Manager to join the Services team, reporting to the Director of Field Services. This role remains heavily involved in strategic sourcing, procurement, and supply chain management while developing and executing category strategies supporting Restoration Services, Repowering Solutions, and BESS Augmentation.

Work arrangement: Remote eligible within the United States| Visa sponsorship: Not eligible" We need to keep
- each bullet.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Pay section:
- each bullet.
- containing a heading and then details. That seems okay.
Similarly for Qualifications: we have Basic Qualifications and What Will Put You Ahead (preferred qualifications). Could combine into Qualifications section? There's also Skills maybe separate? The posting doesn't have a separate Skills section; skills are embedded in qualifications. We could put all qualifications under Qualifications heading. Or we could split into Requirements (basic) and Qualifications (preferred). But allowed headings include Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide.

Thus:
