Cleaning & Sterilization Technician - 1st shift
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to decide which sections to include.
- About the role? Not present as heading; we have "Job Summary". Could treat as "Job Summary". That's a heading.
- Responsibilities: present.
- Requirements: present.
- Qualifications: not separate; requirements cover.
- Skills: not separate.
- Benefits: present in "Benefits/Compensation". Also "Why You’ll Love Working At Axogen" includes benefits/culture; we could combine into Benefits section or have separate "About the company" but we need to follow allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we can use those headings, but we can also use other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those headings where appropriate. But we can also include other headings if needed? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are examples; we can use those headings. Probably we should map content to those headings.
We have:
- About the role: could be Job Summary + Mission? Might be "About the role" includes job summary and mission.
- Responsibilities: we have.
- Requirements: we have.
- Qualifications: maybe not separate; but we could combine with Requirements.
- Skills: maybe not separate.
- Benefits: we have benefits list.
- Pay: we have hourly pay range.
- Schedule: not given; we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. No schedule info, so omit.
We also have Location; not a standard heading but could be included as a paragraph under About the role or separate? The instruction says we can include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. It didn't forbid other headings besides the examples, but says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those headings only. However location is important; we could put location in a
under About the role or maybe under a separate heading like "Location" but that's not in the list. Safer to include location as a paragraph within About the role.
Working & Environmental Conditions: could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? It's about conditions; maybe we can include as a paragraph under About the role or a separate section like "Working Conditions" but not in list. Could incorporate into About the role.
Company Statements etc: we need to remove boilerplate; those are legal/AI policy etc; we should drop them.
Thus final HTML:

We omitted Schedule.

We kept all substantive info: mission, job summary, responsibilities, requirements, benefits, pay, location, working conditions.
We used for each section heading.
We used - for lists.
We used
for prose.
We didn't repeat job title as heading.
We didn't include Job ID.
We omitted legal/EEO etc.
We didn't invent or summarize away detail.
Check if any content missing: "Why You’ll Love Working At Axogen" includes bullet points: Friendly, open, and fun team culture that values unique perspectives; Company-wide dedication to profoundly impacting patients’ lives; Comprehensive, high-quality benefits package effective on date of hire; Educational assistance available for all employees; Matching 401(k) retirement plan; Paid holidays, including floating holidays, to be used at your discretion; Employee Stock Purchase Plan; Referral incentive program. Some of these are already covered in Benefits section (matching 401k, paid holidays, ESPP). The cultural aspects and educational assistance not captured elsewhere. Should we include them?

Add after mission: "Why You’ll Love Working At Axogen: Friendly, open, and fun team culture that values unique perspectives; Company-wide dedication to profoundly impacting patients’ lives; Comprehensive, high-quality benefits package effective on date of hire; Educational assistance available for all employees; Matching 401(k) retirement plan; Paid holidays, including floating holidays, to be used at your discretion; Employee Stock Purchase Plan; Referral incentive program."
But note we already have matching 401k, paid holidays, ESPP in Benefits list; we can still mention them in prose but not duplicate. It's okay to mention again but we should avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is okay as long as we preserve. But better to avoid repeating same info; but it's not harmful. However we could incorporate those points in About the role paragraph and keep Benefits list as is (maybe without those duplicates). But we need to preserve all info; if we remove from Benefits list we lose that info. So we keep Benefits list as is, and also include those points in About the role paragraph (maybe as a sentence). That's fine.
Also "Educational assistance available for all employees" not in Benefits list; we should add that to Benefits list or mention in About the role. Since Benefits list is for benefits, we could add Educational assistance as a benefit. Let's add to Benefits list.
Also "Referral incentive program" not in Benefits list; add.
