We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes "Ready to build parts..." but we need to follow rules: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Intro: "Ready to build parts that matter — and enjoy a 4-day workweek? PacAero is looking for a 2nd Shift CNC Machinist to join our machining team in Agawam, MA. You’ll operate CNC milling equipment to manufacture high-precision components used in critical aerospace applications, working with tight tolerances and high quality standards. We’re looking for someone with solid CNC machining experience who takes pride in their work, cares about quality, and wants to keep building their skills. Experience with setups and first-piece inspections is a plus, but we’re also open to strong CNC operators who are ready to grow into more advanced machining responsibilities." - Why Join PacAero? bullet list: 4-day work week — Monday through Thursday; Second-shift differential; Monthly bonus opportunities; 12 paid company holidays — including your birthday!; Medical, dental, vision, disability coverage & more; 401(k) with up to 4% company match; Employer HSA contribution; Separate PTO and sick time; Stable, growing aerospace manufacturing environment with opportunities to develop your skills and career; At PacAero, we work hard, have fun, and get stuff done. We believe culture matters — from recognizing great work and celebrating wins to creating a place where people enjoy coming to work and feel like part of the team. - What You’ll Do: As a CNC Machinist, you’ll operate multi-axis CNC milling equipment to produce precision components to print and specification. Depending on your experience, responsibilities may include machine setup, tool changes, offsets, first-piece inspections, in-process inspection and troubleshooting machining issues. You’ll work closely with other machinists, Quality and Engineering to keep work moving safely and efficiently while maintaining the quality our customers expect. - What We’re Looking For: Experience operating CNC milling equipment is required. Experience with Haas and/or Okuma equipment, machine setups, reading blueprints, using precision measuring equipment and working to tight tolerances is highly valued. You don’t need to know everything on day one. If you have a strong machining foundation, take pride in producing quality work and want to continue developing your skills, we want to hear from you. - Schedule: Full-time | Second Shift | Onsite in Agawam, MA | Monday–Thursday (4, 10-hour days). This position is eligible for a second-shift differential in addition to base pay. As part of a manufacturing environment supporting customer demand, overtime may occasionally be required, including extended shifts or additional days when business needs arise. - Requirements: bullet list of duties (list of responsibilities). Actually the "Requirements" section includes a list of duties: Operate CNC milling machines to produce precision components according to engineering drawings, specifications and established processes; Perform machine setups as needed, including tooling changes, fixture installation, offsets and first-piece runs; Complete first-piece and in-process inspections to verify dimensional and quality requirements; Use precision measuring equipment, including calipers, micrometers, gauges and other inspection tools; Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints and applicable manufacturing documentation; Make routine adjustments and troubleshoot machining issues within the scope of your experience; Accurately document production and machining information to support quality, traceability and repeatability; Work safely around CNC equipment, cutting tools and other shop machinery; Maintain a clean, organized and safe work area; Follow established safety, quality and manufacturing procedures; Work collaboratively with Machining, Quality and Engineering to resolve issues and keep production moving; Perform other related duties as assigned by the Machine Shop Manager. - Experience And Qualifications: bullet list: High school diploma or equivalent; 1–3 years of experience operating CNC milling machines in a manufacturing environment preferred; Experience with Haas, Okuma or similar CNC equipment; Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and blueprints; Familiarity with precision measuring equipment and dimensional inspection; Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing quality work; Ability to work independently while contributing to a team environment; Willingness to learn and continue developing machining and setup skills. - Work Environment & Physical Requirements: paragraph about environment, standing, lifting up to 40 pounds, using hand tools, cutting tools, precision measuring equipment, working around machine noise and moving equipment, wearing required PPE. - Expected Compensation: paragraph about anticipated pay range, actual compensation determined based on factors... This is pay info. According to rules: we should include a Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state "Expected Compensation" paragraph. So we can include a Pay section with that paragraph. However we must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". This paragraph is substantive: describes how compensation determined. We'll include as

    . - Benefits: paragraph about benefits package. So we include Benefits section. - Equal Employment Opportunity, ITAR/Export Control Compliance: these are boilerplate legal/EEO; we must remove them. So drop those sections. - Also there is "Why Join PacAero?" which is essentially Benefits and culture. We could combine into Benefits section or maybe a separate "About the role" or "Why Join". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About the role: could be the introductory paragraph describing role and mission. Could be used. - Responsibilities: could be the "What You’ll Do" paragraph. - Requirements: could be the "Requirements" bullet list (duties). Actually that list is more duties; but we can treat as Responsibilities. However we already have Responsibilities from "What You’ll Do". The "Requirements" section is more like duties/responsibilities. The "Experience And Qualifications" is qualifications. Thus we can map: - About the role: intro paragraph (first paragraph) maybe plus "Why Join PacAero?"? But "Why Join" is benefits/culture; could go under Benefits. - Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do" paragraph. - Requirements: maybe the bullet list under "Requirements" (the duties list). Or we could combine with Responsibilities? But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's think: The posting has a "What You’ll Do" paragraph (responsibilities). Then a separate "Requirements" bullet list (looks like duties as well). Could combine them into Responsibilities as a combined list? But we need to follow instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a Responsibilities section with a
        of duties (combining both paragraphs maybe). However the "What You’ll Do" is prose; we could keep as

        and then a

          for the bullet list under Requirements. But that would be two sections: Responsibilities (maybe just the paragraph) and Requirements (the bullet list). However the bullet list under Requirements is actually duties/responsibilities, not qualifications. The qualifications are under "Experience And Qualifications". So we could have: - Responsibilities: paragraph from "What You’ll Do". - Requirements: bullet list from "Requirements". - Qualifications: bullet list from "Experience And Qualifications". - Benefits: paragraph from "Why Join PacAero?" plus the Benefits paragraph. - Pay: paragraph from "Expected Compensation". - Schedule: paragraph from "Schedule:" line. We also need to include location and shift info maybe in About the role or Schedule. The schedule section should contain the schedule details: Full-time | Second Shift | Onsite in Agawam, MA | Monday–Thursday (4, 10-hour days). Also mention second-shift differential and overtime possibility. We should not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, ITAR, etc. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from the sections we keep. Let's extract each piece. **About the role** (intro): "Ready to build parts that matter — and enjoy a 4-day workweek?
