We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes purpose, essential functions/responsibilities, minimum education & experience, certificates/licenses, mental & physical competencies, environmental adaptability, equipment/tools. No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not create those sections. We need sections like About the role (purpose), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (maybe education/experience + certificates), Qualifications (maybe mental/physical competencies?), Skills (maybe equipment/tools?), but we must ensure we don't create filler sections. We need to map content appropriately. We have: Purpose: Provide technical start-up, checkout and programming for Building Automation and Control Systems. Maintain and grow the “Client for Life” concept for existing and new customers. Performs related work as required. Essential Functions And Responsibilities: list of duties. Minimum Education & Experience Required: 4-7 years experience, associate degree in Electronic, Technology, or Automation related field or equivalent on the job experience. CERTIFICATES, LICENSES, REGISTRATIONS: Valid driver’s license. Mental And Physical Competencies Required: many bullet-like sentences. ENVIRONMENTAL ADAPTABILITY: description. EQUIPMENT/TOOLS: list. We need to decide sections: - About the role: purpose paragraph. - Responsibilities: essential functions list. - Requirements: education/experience + certificates/licenses. - Qualifications: mental & physical competencies (maybe also environmental adaptability? but that's more about work environment). Could combine environmental adaptability into Qualifications or a separate section like Working Conditions? But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put environmental adaptability under Qualifications or Skills? Probably Qualifications includes mental/physical competencies and environmental adaptability. - Skills: equipment/tools list. We must not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate (EEO etc). Also remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. Purpose paragraph: "Provide technical start-up, checkout and programming for Building Automation and Control Systems. Maintain and grow the “Client for Life” concept for existing and new customers. Performs related work as required." We'll put that in

    under About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties from Essential Functions And Responsibilities. Need to convert each sentence into bullet items? The instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should make a list. The duties are many sentences separated by line breaks. We'll extract each distinct duty. Let's list them: - Work collaboratively with design engineers, operation engineers, and purchasers and other internal staff - Start-up of Microprocessor based control components including PLC and DDC controllers, sensors, actuators, transducers, and associated components - Understand construction schedules and manage QA/QC checklists and commissioning logs - Ability to interpret Sequence of Operations (SOO) and apply to program logic - Ability to read and write code ladder logic, structured text, and function block programming - Mentor, training, and oversee Automation Technician I and IIs - Ability to lead medium to large size projects - Point-to-point checkout of wiring and components for proper grounding, polarity, communication and power - Set up and calibration of input and output devices such as temperature sensors, pressure transducers, etc. - Uploading, downloading, and modification of control software and programs - Perform networking functions such as setting up IP addresses, subnet masks, MAC addresses and instance numbers - Create and troubleshoot automation networks and communication protocols - Identify and troubleshoot complex Automation HVAC and Electrical systems including but not limited to psychometrics, refrigeration, building pressure controls, life safety systems, EPMS, process controls, steam heating, humidification and de-humidification, and central heating and cooling systems. - Map control points into supervisory controller and add alarms and history extensions to supervisory controller points - Map control points into graphical front end and link points to graphics - Create Automation System graphics and dashboards We should keep them as list items. Requirements: education/experience + certificates/licenses. Education/Experience: "Four (4) to Seven (7) years of Automation related field experience Associate degree in Electronic, Technology, or Automation related field or equivalent on the job experience" We could split into two bullets: "Four (4) to Seven (7) years of Automation related field experience" and "Associate degree in Electronic, Technology, or Automation related field or equivalent on the job experience". Certificates/Licenses: "Valid driver’s license" We'll list that as bullet. Qualifications: mental & physical competencies + environmental adaptability. We need to preserve all substantive information. The mental & physical competencies list is many sentences. We'll convert each to bullet. List them: - Ability to perform all necessary duties unsupervised - Knowledge of common Windows Office applications - Knowledge of Microsoft SQL or other database applications preferred but not required - Knowledge of Ethernet and serial network communication protocols and hardware configurations - Understanding of basic process controls (i.e. PID control loops, motor control, commissioning of digital and analog measurement devices) - Excellent interpersonal skills with ability to communicate effectively, both orally and both orally and written (original: "both orally and written") - Ability to take direction and full fill commitments (typo: "full fill" but keep as is) - Value and support company mission and culture - Display honesty, integrity, sound reasoning, good judgment/values, and lead by example, all while maintaining strong internal and external relationships at all levels - Understanding of construction site safety and display a high awareness of your surroundings - Effectively prioritize and balance the “big picture” and immediate responsibilities - Ability to listen effectively, value the opinions of others and acknowledge contributions of others - Ability to communicate and work well with others specifically but not limited to our electrical team members and project management staff at all levels - Effectively train, mentor, and delegate work tasks to lower-level Automation Technicians - Ability to effectively work with your project team members to resolve issues promptly Environmental adaptability: - Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk working on a computer - Significant field and client interactions on construction job sites, which may require prolonged periods of standing, walking and/or climbing stairs - Occasional exposure to variety of temperature and weather conditions We'll include these as bullet items under Qualifications. Skills: equipment/tools list. List: - Laptop PC - Electronic Multimeter - Magnehelic - RS-485 and RS-232 Serial Adapters - Hand tools/Light power tools - Product Manufacturer Software - AutoCAD Electric - PLC Software (Allen-Bradley RSLogix 500, StudioLogix5000, or Modicon) - HMI Software (Wonderware or FactoryTalk View) - DDC Software (Schneider Electric Eco Struxure, Alerton Compass, or Tridium Niagara) - Ladders and Lifts - Oscilloscope - Wireshark - Computer systems: Windows, Linux, Command Line We'll make bullet list. Now ensure we don't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Already removed. Now produce HTML:
