We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We have content about role description, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, etc. No explicit Pay or Schedule info. So we should not include Pay or Schedule sections. Also we need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info, but we can condense into lists where appropriate.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Why You’ll Love Working Here" maybe not needed but could be part of About the role? Actually "Why You’ll Love Working Here" is fluff but maybe we can keep as part of About the role? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "Why You’ll Love Working Here" is not boilerplate but could be considered fluff; but we can keep as part of About the role if it's substantive? It's more marketing. Might be okay to keep but we can incorporate into About the role paragraph.
We need to include sections: About the role (maybe summarizing the purpose), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe qualifications), Qualifications (maybe education/experience), Skills (maybe technical skills), Benefits.
But we must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for each.

and then a - for each bullet.

However the instruction list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills as separate possible headings. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. We have content for Required Qualifications (education, experience, etc.) and also for Skills (knowledge of MS Office, experimental design, etc.) and also for Organizational Knowledge (maybe skills). Could treat "Requirements" as education/experience, "Qualifications" as preferred/required skills, "Skills" as technical competencies. But we need to avoid duplication.
Better to follow typical job posting: Requirements = minimum qualifications (BS, 3-5 years experience). Qualifications = preferred qualifications (proficiency, etc.). Skills = specific abilities (communication, MS Office, etc.). However the posting lumps many together.
We can decide:
- About the role: includes purpose, location, reporting, brief about Polynt.
- Responsibilities: as above.
- Requirements: Minimum of a BS in Chemistry or related science; 3-5 years’ experience with composites and formulation preferred; This position does not offer sponsorship... candidate must be authorized to work in US.

- Skills: maybe we can treat Organizational Knowledge and Trainor Mentor as skills? But we already have many skills. Could combine into Skills: Orders raw materials and finished goods with supervisor approval; Orders lab supplies with supervisor approval; Able to find/view test methods, work instructions, forms and other documents in SharePoint; Able to request physical or analytical testing; Working knowledge of Microsoft applications including Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams and Word; If applicable, works with supervisor or designee to complete Frontline scale-up process for formula revision or new product creation; Able to find basic information in SAP including BOM's, inspections plans, inventories, orders, etc.; Able to find technical documents in the Polynt App and Host 2 Bulletin System; Provides on the job training in laboratory procedures, test methods, day-to-day tasks.
But that may be redundant with Qualifications. However we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps better to have only About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (skills/competencies), Benefits. That covers all.
We must not include Pay or Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
