Controller

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of role, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, benefits, maybe pay? No pay or schedule given. So we should include sections that have real content: About the role (maybe intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Requirements/Qualifications (list), Benefits (list). Also maybe "Who You Are" could be Qualifications. "What You Bring" could be Requirements. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Use

for each section heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove "Physical Requirements" maybe include as part of Requirements? It's substantive; we can include under Requirements or a separate section? It's about physical ability; could be part of Requirements. We'll include under Requirements. We must preserve all substantive info. Let's extract: Intro: "Loureiro Engineering Associates is seeking a Controller to join our team in Plainville, CT.
