We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Must not create sections unless posting actually states them. We need to parse the posting. Company Overview: description of company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Company Overview" could be considered "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" for company overview and position summary? Or we could have separate sections: "About the role" could contain position summary and company overview. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". So we can have heading "About the role" and include company overview and position summary. Responsibilities: The posting has "Essential Responsibilities:" and then a list of duties broken into categories: Safety & Compliance Leadership, Enterprise Operational Excellence & Process Transformation, Continuous Improvement, Facilities Operations, Fleet Management. Each has bullet-like paragraphs. We need to output
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to turn each duty into list items. Could group under subheadings? Not required but we can keep as list items. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications section. That's requirements. Also Desired Qualifications could be under Qualifications? The instruction includes Qualifications as a possible heading. We have Minimum Qualifications and Desired Qualifications. Could combine under "Requirements" for minimum, and "Qualifications" for desired? Or we could treat Minimum Qualifications as Requirements, Desired Qualifications as Qualifications. Also Licenses & Certifications could be under Qualifications or Skills? Probably Qualifications. Skills: Not explicitly listed but we could infer from responsibilities? But we should not invent. If no explicit skills section, we should not create Skills heading. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: The posting does not mention benefits, pay, or schedule except Travel Requirements Up to 40% travel required. That's not benefits/pay/schedule. Travel requirement could be under Schedule? Not exactly. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. There's no explicit benefits, pay, schedule. So we should not include those sections. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. Possibly also "Travel Requirements" could be under Schedule? But schedule is about work hours, not travel. Safer to omit. We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not drop details like core values BEHIVE, etc. Must include them somewhere. Could be in About the role. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove the note about reasonable accommodations? That's substantive? It's about ADA; maybe it's boilerplate but it's about accommodations. Might be considered boilerplate but it's a statement about accommodations. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The reasonable accommodations note is likely legal boilerplate. Might be removed. However it's substantive? It's a standard statement. I'd remove it to be safe. Also remove the duplicated lines: "This list of duties and responsibilities is not all-inclusive..." etc. That's part of responsibilities but it's a disclaimer; we might keep? It's not a duty. Could be considered boilerplate. Might remove. We need to preserve all substantive information: company overview, position summary, essential responsibilities details, minimum qualifications, desired qualifications, licenses & certifications, travel requirements, physical demands and work environment (maybe keep? It's substantive about physical demands). The instruction didn't say to remove physical demands. It's not EEO etc. So keep. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now craft HTML. Structure:

    About the role

    Company overview paragraph(s) + Position summary paragraph.

    Then

    Responsibilities

    • ... each duty.
    We need to break down responsibilities into list items. Could be many; we can combine similar bullet points.
