Then description of benefits. - Workplace Type: This is a fully onsite position in Harrisburg,PA. - Application Deadline: This position is anticipated to close on Oct 12, 2026. - About Actalent: company description. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal. Also remove application instructions? There's none explicit besides maybe "Application Deadline". That's not instruction but we can keep as metadata? The instruction says: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." Also "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Application Deadline maybe considered metadata; we can fold into a short

. Probably we can include it in a paragraph under maybe "About the role" or separate? But we should not create a heading for it unless there's real content. It's just a date; we can include in a paragraph. We need sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities (maybe from description?), Requirements (maybe qualifications?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we need to only include sections if posting has real specific content. Let's map: - About the role: we have description paragraph. Could be "About the role". That's appropriate. - Responsibilities: The description includes responsibilities: design and documentation of industrial control panels, producing accurate designs using AutoCAD and EPLAN, coordinating with internal teams and customers, supporting projects through design, build, implementation phases. Could be separate Responsibilities section. - Requirements: qualifications: Associate degree, experience years, knowledge, abilities, etc. Could be Requirements. - Skills: list of skills. - Benefits: list of benefits. - Pay: pay range. - Schedule: maybe Workplace Type (fully onsite) could be schedule? Or we could treat Workplace Type as Schedule? The instruction says use

for Schedule if present. There's no explicit schedule like shift, hours. Workplace Type is location and onsite. Could be considered Schedule? Not really. Might be better to not create Schedule section if no schedule info. Could include location in a paragraph. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Thus we need to include all details: description, responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, location, contract type, experience level, application deadline, about Actalent (maybe we can include as "About the company"? Not a required heading but we could include as a paragraph under maybe "About Actalent". However headings list does not include "About the company". But we could still include as a paragraph without heading? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., not exclusive. So we could use other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. However we can include "About Actalent" as a

without heading, or we could treat as "About the role" already used. Might be okay to include as a paragraph after the sections. We must output ONLY the HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus produce something like:

We need to ensure we didn't include boilerplate like EEO etc. We omitted those. Check for duplicated lines: we have not duplicated. Check for any placeholder like "commensurate with experience": none. Check for Pay: we included as per posting. The posting said "$55000.00 - $65000.00/hr." We formatted with commas and "per hour". Keep the info. Check for Benefits: we listed as per posting. Check for Schedule: we didn't create a Schedule heading because no schedule info. We included workplace type etc as paragraphs. Check for "About the role": we used that heading. Check for "Responsibilities": we used. Check for "Requirements": we used. Check for "Skills": we used. Check for "Pay": we used. Check for "Benefits": we used. Check for "About Actalent": we added heading though not in the list but it's okay as extra heading? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but better to stick to those. However "About Actalent" is not in the list but could be considered similar to "About the role". But we already have About the role. Could we incorporate Actalent description into About the role? That might mix company info with role. Better to keep separate but maybe we can avoid a heading and just put as a paragraph without heading. The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we cannot have other headings, but to be safe we could avoid extra heading and just put as a

after the sections. However the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Adding a heading for About Actalent creates another section. Might be okay but we could incorporate into a paragraph without heading. Let's decide: we will not add a heading for About Actalent; just include a

after the other sections. Thus final HTML:
