We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have company overview, then role description. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only sections with real content. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, application instructions. Also remove Job ID/requisition numbers (none). Also remove "Company Overview" maybe we can put as About the role? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". So we should not put a heading for the job title. We can have an "About the role" section summarizing company overview and role purpose. Use

for prose. Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We need to include Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. Pay: "The anticipated salary band for this position is $195,000 - $230,000." So we include Pay section. Schedule: "Position requires in-office presence in Seattle (South Lake Union) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, remote work is optional on Mondays and Fridays". That's schedule info. So include Schedule. Benefits: list of benefits given. So include Benefits. Responsibilities: the bullet list under "In This Role You Will". So include Responsibilities. Requirements: maybe "Key Qualifications And Skills" includes both qualifications and skills. We could separate into Requirements (maybe mandatory) and Qualifications/Skills (preferred). But instruction: Use headings for those categories if content exists. We have "Key Qualifications And Skills" which includes both required and preferred. We could split: Requirements (Bachelor's degree, 10+ years experience, etc.) and Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Also Skills maybe separate but we can combine. However we need to avoid thin sections. Could have Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (preferred). Skills maybe not needed separately. We also have "Job Functions" with physical demands etc. That could be part of Requirements? But it's more about physical demands and work environment. Could be omitted? It's substantive but not fitting headings. Could be placed under a generic section? But we only allowed those headings. Could we add a new heading? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings only. So we should map content to those. Thus: - About the role: company overview + role purpose summary (Chief Engineer - Maritime). Use prose. - Responsibilities: list of duties from "In This Role You Will" bullet points. - Requirements: mandatory qualifications: Bachelor's degree, 10+ years engineering experience, 5+ years direct maritime industry experience, experience leading/supporting design integration etc., 3+ years technical leadership role, demonstrated success leading multidisciplinary teams, proven experience operating within regulated environments, experience developing/improving engineering processes, strong understanding of systems engineering principles, experience with risk-informed decision making. - Qualifications: preferred qualifications: Nuclear maritime experience, familiarity with manufacturing scale-up, supplier qualification, production transition, design-for-manufacture, experience collaborating with government customers etc., demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical concepts, strong project execution skills, proven success operating in fast-paced development environments. - Skills: maybe we could list specific skills like systems engineering, configuration management, etc. But we already covered many. Could combine with Qualifications. But to avoid thin sections, maybe we omit Skills if content overlaps. However we have "Key Qualifications And Skills" heading originally; we could treat that as Qualifications and Skills combined. But we need separate headings if we have content for both. Could put skills under Qualifications. Might be okay. - Benefits: list of benefits. - Pay: salary band. - Schedule: in-office/remote. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, Export Control, etc. Also remove "Physical Demands and Work Environment" maybe we could incorporate into Requirements? But it's not a qualification. Could be omitted? It's substantive but not fitting headings. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep that info somewhere. If we don't have a heading for it, we could put it under About the role as a paragraph? Or maybe under Responsibilities? Not ideal. Could create a section "Physical Demands" but not allowed headings list. However the instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive? It says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. But we need to preserve all substantive info; physical demands is substantive. Could we include it under Requirements? It's not a requirement but maybe we can note under Requirements as "Physical demands: ..." but that might be okay. Alternatively we could add a section "Working Conditions" but not in list. Might risk non-compliance. Better to embed within About the role or Responsibilities? Probably About the role can include overview of work environment. Thus we will include physical demands in About the role paragraph. Now we need to remove duplicated lines, boilerplate like "Note This job description..." etc. Also remove "Export Control Applicants..." etc. Also remove "All duties and responsibilities are essential functions..." etc. We'll produce HTML fragment:
