We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Nature of Work" description, "Education and Experience", "Special Qualifications", "Pay Range", "Hourly Benefits", "Who Can Apply", "How to Apply", "Examination Information", "Veteran Points", "Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities", "Physical Requirements", "Essential Functions", "Conditions of Employment", "Reasonable Accommodation", "Contact Points". We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out "How to Apply" instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should not include a section for How to Apply. Also remove "Who Can Apply"? That's maybe not boilerplate but it's generic; but it's part of posting. However it's not a list of duties/requirements/benefits; it's prose. We could keep as a paragraph under a section like "Eligibility". But the instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. "Who Can Apply: Any person who meets the qualifications and other requirements described in this posting." That's generic but still content. Might keep as a short paragraph under a section like "Eligibility". However we need to decide which sections to include.
We need to use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings where appropriate. Use those exact headings? The examples given: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should prefer those headings. So we need to decide which sections to include: About the role (nature of work), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (education and experience, special qualifications, physical requirements?), Qualifications (maybe special qualifications?), Skills (required knowledge, skills, abilities), Benefits (hourly benefits), Pay (pay range), Schedule (maybe forty-hour work week). Also we could include Examination Information? Not in list; maybe we could omit as not required heading. Veteran Points maybe not needed. Contact Points maybe not needed. Conditions of Employment maybe not needed. Reasonable Accommodation maybe not needed. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we should combine.
Thus produce sections:

Thus produce sections:
About the role
Nature of Work: This is skilled manual work in the construction, maintenance, and repair of street systems. Employees exercise some independence, may act as lead worker, major changes discussed with supervisor.
Responsibilities
- Sets forms and string lines, establishes elevation and grade, pours and finishes concrete for sidewalks, driveways, streets, curbs, and parking areas. ... etc list all essential functions.
Requirements
maybe combine Education and Experience, Special Qualifications, Physical Requirements. Could be a- list.
- . Now Requirements: include Education and Experience? Since it's generic, maybe we can skip. But we need to include Special Qualifications, maybe also note that education/experience may be acquired through combination (but it's not specific). Could include as a bullet: "Knowledge, skills, and abilities may be acquired through a combination of education and/or experience." That's not specific but still info. Might be okay. Special Qualifications bullets: - Must possess a valid motor vehicle operator’s license. - Must possess a Class “A” commercial motor vehicle operator’s license with “N” endorsement and no air brake restrictions or a Class "A" commercial motor vehicle operator's license with "N" endorsement and "O" restriction by the end of the probationary period. - Must possess a Second

Forty-hour work week (already mentioned in benefits but could be schedule). Might be redundant; maybe we omit Schedule section because it's covered in Benefits. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine schedule into Benefits. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we omit Schedule section entirely, as it's covered in Benefits. Or we could keep Schedule with the forty-hour work week detail. But Benefits already includes that. Might be duplication. Better to omit Schedule. We must not include application instructions, so omit How to Apply, Who Can Apply, Examination Information, Veteran Points, Conditions of Employment, Reasonable Accommodation, Contact Points. We must preserve all substantive information; we are omitting some info like Who Can Apply (generic), Examination Information (specific about test details). Is that substantive? It includes details about exam: multiple-choice/written examination date TBD, invitation via email, passing score 50%, weighted 100%. That's substantive. Should we include? The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. This is specific content. However we don't have a heading for Examination Information in the allowed list. Could we create a custom heading? 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 list. But they say "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings, but maybe we can also use others if needed? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to stick to those headings. So we need to map exam info into one of those sections. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. Perhaps under Requirements we can include exam info as a bullet.
Similarly Veteran Points could be under Requirements or Qualifications.
But we must not create sections with filler text. So we can include exam details under Requirements.
Let's decide final sections:
- About the role (nature of work)
- Responsibilities (essential functions)
- Requirements (education & experience, special qualifications, physical requirements, exam info, veteran points)
- Skills (required knowledge, skills, abilities)
- Benefits (hourly benefits, work week, leave, insurance, pension)
- Pay (pay range)
We'll omit Schedule.
Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details.
From posting:
Nature of Work: "This is skilled manual work in the construction, maintenance, and repair of street systems. Employees in this classification exercise some independence in the performance of their duties, and may act as a lead worker, however any major changes in work procedures and policies are discussed with and approved by a designated supervisor."
Education and Experience: "The knowledge, skills, and abilities may be acquired through, but are not limited to, the following combination of education and/or experience." (No specifics given; it's generic). Actually there is no specific education/experience listed; just says may be acquired through combination. That's vague. Might be considered filler? It says "may be acquired through, but are not limited to, the following combination of education and/or experience." No list follows. So it's essentially no substantive detail. Might be considered placeholder. We could omit Education and Experience if no specifics. However we still have Special Qualifications which are specific.
Special Qualifications: Must possess a valid motor vehicle operator’s license. Must possess a Class “A” commercial motor vehicle operator’s license with “N” endorsement and no air brake restrictions or a Class "A" commercial motor vehicle operator's license with "N" endorsement and "O" restriction by the end of the probationary period. Must possess a Second Grade Hoisting and Portable Engineer’s Certificate by the end of the probationary period. May be required to obtain forklift operator's certificate if assigned to operate forklift.
Physical Requirements: "PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE TABLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS CLASS SPECIFICATION" - no details given. So we cannot include specifics; it's a reference. Might be omitted.
Essential Functions list: many bullet points.
Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list of knowledge/skills/abilities.
Benefits: "Forty-hour work week. Paid leave per year: twelve days vacation; eighteen days sick; and fourteen holidays. Employee’s group health insurance, including major medical, vision, and dental, for individual or family. Defined benefit pension plan, plus Social Security, and more. See hr.cityofomaha.org for detailed information."
Pay Range: "$22.91 with step increases to $31.59 Hourly"
Examination Information: details.
Veteran Points: details.
Conditions of Employment: generic.
Reasonable Accommodation: generic.
Contact Points: contact info.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we must include exam info and veteran points somewhere.
We can include exam info under Requirements as a bullet: "Examination: multiple-choice/written examination; passing score 50%; weighted 100% of final score; invitation via email after application review."
Veteran points: "Veteran’s preference: up to 5 points for service (DD-214 with >180 days active duty); additional 5 points for disability with VA proof within 12 months; submit to HR by Oct 8, 2026."
We'll include those.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "See hr.cityofomaha.org for detailed information." That's a reference; we can keep it as part of Benefits.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat.
Now craft HTML.
