We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description: "The City of Billings is seeking a Combination Inspector I/II/III to perform technical building inspection work involved in enforcing compliance with building codes, regulations and ordinances." That's about the role. Could be a paragraph.
We need sections: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Pay", "Schedule". We must only include sections when posting has real specific content.
We have salary range details: Salary at hiring dependent on education, experience, training. Provide hourly ranges for each level. That's pay specifics. So we can include Pay section with those details.
Work Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. That's schedule.
Responsibilities: The "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" sections for each level and for all positions. We can combine into a list of duties (the "For All Positions" list). Also there are level-specific descriptions but they are more about expectations. We could include them as part of responsibilities. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should list duties as
- . The responsibilities text includes paragraphs; we can convert each sentence into list items? Probably better to keep as
for prose and
- for list. The duties list is a series of sentences separated by semicolons. We could split into list items. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. Splitting into list items is okay as long as we keep the content. Could also keep as
but instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are a list; we should use
- . So we will extract each duty as separate
- . Ensure we keep all details.
Similarly qualifications: Required Qualifications And Skills For All Positions (list). Then level-specific qualifications. We'll combine into a list? Might be better to have separate sections: Qualifications (general) and maybe separate for each level? But we can combine all qualifications into a list, but we need to preserve level-specific details. Could create subheadings? Not allowed; only headings are the predefined ones. So we must fit into those headings. We could put all qualifications under a single "Qualifications" section, using
- and include level-specific details as separate items, maybe prefixed with level. That's acceptable.
Skills: The posting includes "Required Qualifications And Skills For All Positions" and then level-specific skills. Could combine into Skills section similarly. But we might have overlap. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role (p), Responsibilities (ul), Qualifications (ul), Pay (p), Schedule (p). Skills could be merged into Qualifications? But they asked to use Skills heading if there is content. We have skill statements like ability to obtain certifications, etc. Those are qualifications/skills. Could put them under Skills. But we already have qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to have Qualifications (education, experience, license, background check) and Skills (certifications, abilities). Let's parse.
All Positions qualifications: High school diploma or equivalent. Valid Montana driver's license or ability to obtain within 60 days. Must pass pre-employment drug test and State and Federal criminal background check.
Level I qualifications: Minimum of two (2) years of specialized training or work experience in construction, building trades, code enforcement, or a related field. Ability to obtain either IRC or IBC inspector certification within six (6) of employment. Ability to obtain one (1) additional certification (Building, Plumbing, or Mechanical) within twelve (12) months of employment.
Level II qualifications: Minimum of two (2) years of specialized training or work experience in construction, building trades, code enforcement, or a related field. Minimum of four (4) years of related work experience in construction, building trades, code enforcement, or a related field including two (2) years' experience in building inspection. Must be a commercial IBC, IMC, and UPC or residential IRC, IMC, and UPC combination inspector.
Level III qualifications: Three (3) or more years of specialized training in building, plumbing, electrical or mechanical fields. Minimum of five (5) years of related work experience in construction, building trades, code enforcement, or a related field, including three (3) years of building inspection experience. Must possess the following certifications: IBC, IRC, IMC, UPC, and NEC.
We could treat experience and training as qualifications, certifications as skills. Let's create:
Qualifications section: education, driver's license, background check, experience/training requirements (maybe combine). Skills section: certification abilities and required certifications.
But we must not create thin sections. We'll have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections, each substantive.
Now we need to extract responsibilities list.
Responsibilities For All Positions sentences:
- Review plans and applications for field inspection;
- inspect industrial, commercial and residential buildings during various stages of construction and remodeling to ensure compliance with applicable codes, and regulations including Building, Plumbing, Mechanical Codes, and other City departments' requirements;
