We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading only if content exists. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, scam warning, application instructions, navigation, cookie, legal. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph: "We’re looking for an experienced Diesel Technician to join our team at our shop in Salem, VA. This is a great opportunity for a high-level technician who takes pride in their work, enjoys solving problems, and wants to work alongside a solid team that respects skill and experience.

You know your way around diesel engines, troubleshooting, preventative maintenance, and getting equipment back on the road the right way — not just the quick way. We’re looking for someone who’s dependable, motivated, and values quality workmanship. In return, you’ll join a team that appreciates experienced technicians, supports each other, and gives you the opportunity to put your skills to work every day without unnecessary micromanagement. If you’re ready to work with a team that values hard work, technical ability, and doing things right, we’d love to talk with you." That's about the role. - "We Offer Perks Like Quarterly Tool Allowance: $250 per quarter ($1,000 per year)$200 Annual Boot AllowanceWork-Life Balance: Monday-Friday 8:00a-4:30p (NO WEEKENDS)Company-provided uniformsCompetitive Hourly Pay (NO FLAT RATE)Vendor-exclusive training" - Then "Benefits Competitive pay based on experience and skill level, ranging from $28–$40 per hour.Skill level is assessed by the hiring manager during the in-person interview.Excellent Benefits, Including Medical, Dental, Vision, & MoreGenerous Paid Time Off: Accrue two weeks of PTO during your first year401K with Company MatchEmployee Referral ProgramEmployee Assistance Program" - Then "As a Heavy Truck Diesel Mechanic, You Will Diagnose, repair, and maintain heavy-duty work trucks and equipment, including diesel engines, chassis, drivetrains, hydraulics, electrical systems, brakes, and related components.Use diagnostic tools and equipment to troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and engine-related issues and accurately identify the cause of failures.Perform preventative maintenance and repairs, including inspections, fluid and filter services, lubrication, brake and suspension work, tire replacement, cooling system maintenance, and other component repairs.Troubleshoot and repair hydraulic systems, including PTO-driven systems, pumps, cylinders, valves, hoses, and related components.Diagnose and repair electrical systems, using a structured approach to identify wiring, power, sensor, and component issues.Complete repairs safely and efficiently, using professional tools and following manufacturer and company procedures.Document work thoroughly and accurately through electronic work orders, including diagnostics performed, repairs completed, parts used, and additional work recommended.Communicate with the Service Manager and team regarding diagnoses, repair needs, parts, and any issues that require additional support.Continue developing technical skills through company training, manufacturer resources, and hands-on coaching.Perform other duties as assigned." - Then "What are the qualifications that we're looking for? 4+ years' experience with hydraulic pumps, cylinders, valves, and hoses4+ years’ of MIG and stick welding experience4+ years’ of automotive electrical experience4+ years’ of diesel engine repair is preferredMust have own toolsMust have a valid driver’s licenseClass A or B CDL is a plus!Possess working mechanical knowledge, including the use of hand tools, power tools, and measuring devices Physical Requirements Ability to frequently kneel, bend, squat, push, pull, and reach.Must be able to lift and move up to 50 lbs. without assistance.Must be able to get into and out of various vehicles without assistance.Must pass a DOT physical including drug screening.

We need sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe qualifications? but we have separate sections: Qualifications, Skills). The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which content goes where. We have: - About the role: intro paragraph. - Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties (the "As a Heavy Truck Diesel Mechanic, You Will ..." paragraphs). Could be turned into
  • . - Requirements: maybe the physical requirements and communication requirements? Or maybe "Qualifications" is the list of experience requirements (4+ years etc). "Skills" could be the specific skill areas (hydraulic, welding, electrical, diesel engine repair, tools, driver's license, CDL plus, mechanical knowledge). But we need to avoid duplication. Better: Qualifications: the list of experience requirements (4+ years experience with hydraulic..., MIG and stick welding, automotive electrical, diesel engine repair preferred, own tools, valid driver's license, Class A/B CDL plus, working mechanical knowledge). Skills: maybe the specific skill areas like hydraulic systems, welding, automotive electrical, diesel engine repair, use of tools, etc. But there is overlap. We could treat "Qualifications" as the bullet list of experience/requirements (including tools, license, CDL, mechanical knowledge). And "Skills" as maybe not needed if overlapping; but we need to include only if there is real specific content. Could we put the skill list under Skills? The posting includes "4+ years' experience with hydraulic pumps, cylinders, valves, and hoses", "4+ years’ of MIG and stick welding experience", "4+ years’ of automotive electrical experience", "4+ years’ of diesel engine repair is preferred", "Must have own tools", "Must have a valid driver’s license", "Class A or B CDL is a plus!", "Possess working mechanical knowledge, including the use of hand tools, power tools, and measuring devices". Those are qualifications/skills. We could split: Qualifications: experience requirements (years). Skills: specific technical skills (hydraulic, welding, automotive electrical, diesel engine, tools, mechanical knowledge). But the posting lumps them. Given instruction to prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section, but we need to follow headings list; we can omit sections if no real specific content. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe covering physical/communication), Qualifications (experience/skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we also have Pay info: "Competitive Hourly Pay (NO FLAT RATE)" and later "Competitive pay based on experience and skill level, ranging from $28–$40 per hour." So we have Pay section. Schedule: "Work-Life Balance: Monday-Friday 8:00a-4:30p (NO WEEKENDS)". So Schedule section. Benefits: list of perks: Quarterly Tool Allowance, Annual Boot Allowance, Monday-Friday schedule (but that's schedule), Company-provided uniforms, Competitive Hourly Pay (but that's pay), Vendor-exclusive training, then Benefits: Competitive pay based on experience..., Excellent Benefits including Medical, Dental, Vision..., Generous PTO, 401K with Company Match, Employee Referral Program, Employee Assistance Program. We need to avoid duplication: schedule already separate, pay separate. Benefits section should include the rest: Tool Allowance, Boot Allowance, Company-provided uniforms, Vendor-exclusive training, Medical/Dental/Vision, PTO, 401K match, Referral program, EAP. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific numbers. Now we need to format as HTML fragment: use

    for each heading, then content:

    for prose,

    • for lists. We must not include any extra markup like or . Just the fragment. Let's draft:
