We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe Overview), Responsibilities (Major Duties/Responsibilities), Requirements (Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Special Requirements?), Benefits (list of benefits), maybe Pay/Schedule not present, so omit. Also include maybe "About ORNL" as a section? The instruction: use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have Overview (could be About the role). We have Major Duties/Responsibilities. We have Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Special Requirements (these could be under Requirements or Qualifications). We have Benefits list. We have no explicit Pay or Schedule. So we will not include those. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into short p or drop. The requisition ID is minor metadata; we can put in a p at top maybe. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out things like "This position will remain open for a minimum of 5 days..." etc. Also "We accept Word..." etc. Also "ORNL is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also "UT-Battelle is an E-Verify employer." Also "Promote equal opportunity..." maybe considered EEO boilerplate; but it's part of the description? It says "Promote equal opportunity by fostering a respectful workplace – in how we treat one another, work together, and measure success." That's part of the role description? Might be considered boilerplate but it's a statement about values; could be kept? The instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That line is about equal opportunity; likely considered boilerplate. Safer to remove it. Also "Deliver ORNL’s mission by aligning behaviors..." that's about core values; maybe keep as part of responsibilities? It's part of the role description; could be considered substantive. We'll keep it as part of responsibilities maybe. We need to keep all substantive info: overview, duties, qualifications, special requirements, benefits list. We need to format with

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

    for prose. We need to decide sections: - About the role (Overview) - Responsibilities (Major Duties/Responsibilities) - Requirements (maybe combine Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Special Requirements) - Benefits (list) We could also have a separate Qualifications section but we can combine. We must not create empty sections. Let's extract content. Overview paragraph: "The Configuration Management Specialist serves as a lead technical professional responsible for directing configuration management services and managing technical documentation and configuration-control projects for critical leased-facility electrical and mechanical systems at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's (ORNL) Computational Facilities Complex. Working within group and division goals, policies, procedures, and strategy, this position is responsible for establishing work objectives and technical approaches, coordinates across engineering disciplines and stakeholders, and provides recommendations that influence configuration priorities and technical decisions. The role ensures facility, equipment, and engineering records remain accurate, current, traceable, and accessible throughout the asset lifecycle." That's prose. Major Duties/Responsibilities: list of bullet points (each sentence starting with a verb). We need to convert each to

  • . Let's extract them: - Lead configuration management services for critical facility electrical and mechanical systems, establishing priorities, technical approaches, and documentation practices consistent with group and division goals, policies, procedures, and strategy. - Plan and manage medium-to-large configuration-control projects associated with facility construction, infrastructure modifications, commissioning, maintenance, and system upgrades; coordinate schedules, technical inputs, and deliverables across disciplines and organizations. - Direct lifecycle configuration control of design basis documents, drawings, O&M manuals, startup records, test reports, vendor information, and other controlled technical records, ensuring revision status, traceability, and accessibility. - Lead verification of as-built drawings, equipment records, and configuration data against installed field conditions; evaluate complex discrepancies, determine appropriate resolution paths, and coordinate corrective actions with engineering, maintenance, contractors, and other stakeholders. - Manage facility equipment and asset information in the Facilities Service Center (FSC) and controlled repositories, including additions, modifications, relocations, renaming, retirement, document indexing, revision status, and links to authoritative records. - Integrate contractor, vendor, and field information to support electrical system modeling, fault-current studies, arc-flash analysis, and protective-device coordination; resolve incomplete or conflicting technical information using sound professional judgment. - Serve as a senior technical point of contact for configuration-control issues and maintain effective relationships with facility engineers, contractors, maintenance personnel, operations staff, vendors, and other internal and external stakeholders. - Prepare and present technical briefings, findings, and recommendations to senior engineers and technical management, influencing configuration priorities, standards, corrective actions, and resource decisions. - Develop and implement improvements to configuration-management methods, tools, and workflows, and provide technical guidance and mentoring to personnel supporting configuration-control activities. - Deliver ORNL’s mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service. - Promote equal opportunity by fostering a respectful workplace – in how we treat one another, work together, and measure success. (maybe remove as EEO boilerplate). We'll decide to remove. We'll keep the rest. Basic Qualifications: "BS/BA degree in engineering or a related technical discipline with a minimum of eight years of relevant experience with mechanical and electrical systems in a commercial and industrial setting. An equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered. Advanced knowledge of electrical and facility systems, configuration management, technical documentation, and applicable engineering principles, with proficiency in CAD and field verification of installed systems." Preferred Qualifications: list: - Demonstrated track record leading or managing technical projects or programs in data centers, commercial building construction, or facilities with frequent infrastructure modifications. - Experience working with electrical and mechanical systems, including systems ranging from 13.8 kV down to 12 V DC, as well as chilled-water systems and water-distribution systems operating across temperatures from 42°F to 85°F. - Excellent written and oral communication skills. - Motivated self-starter with the ability to work independently and to participate creatively in collaborative teams across the laboratory. - Ability to function well in a fast-paced research environment, set priorities to accomplish multiple tasks within deadlines, and adapt to ever changing needs. Special Requirements: "Work involves various physical requirements and working conditions. As such, a pre-hire physical will be required after offer. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position. This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a clearance from the Department of Energy. As such, this position is a Workplace Substance Abuse (WSAP) testing designated position. WSAP positions require passing a pre-placement drug test and participation in an ongoing random drug testing program." We could include Special Requirements under Requirements or as its own section? The instruction only lists certain headings; but we can create a Requirements section and include all qualification info inside. Could also have a Qualifications section. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have Requirements and Qualifications separate if needed. But we have both basic and preferred qualifications; we could put them under Qualifications. Special Requirements maybe under Requirements. However, we must not create sections with filler. We have content for each. Thus we could have:

    About the role

    Overview paragraph

    Responsibilities

    • ...
    • ...

    Requirements

    Special Requirements paragraph

    Qualifications

    maybe split into Basic and Preferred? Could have two subsections? But we only allowed headings from list; we could have Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as separate headings? Not in list but we could still use

    for them? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive; we could still use other headings? Safer to stick to those. So we can have Qualifications heading and inside we can have paragraphs for Basic and Preferred, maybe each as

    . Or we could make two

      lists under Qualifications. Similarly Skills: we have communication skills etc. Could be under Qualifications. Benefits: list of benefits. Thus final HTML:
