Director of Distribution
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text
8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting:
- Job ID: 530099 (minor metadata, fold into a short
or drop)
- Company description: Oldcastle, a CRH company - this is "About the company" or similar
- Job Summary: This is "About the role"
- Job Location: Morristown, TN facility - this could be part of "About the role" or a separate "Location" section
- Job Responsibilities: Long list - this is "Responsibilities"
- Job Requirements: List of requirements - this is "Requirements" or "Qualifications"
- What CRH Offers You: Benefits - this is "Benefits"
- About CRH: Company description - could be "About the company"
- EEO/legal boilerplate at the end - remove
I need to decide on sections:
1. About the role (includes summary and location)
2. Responsibilities
3. Requirements (or Qualifications)
4. Benefits
5. About the company (optional, but has substantive content)
The posting has "What CRH Offers You" with specific benefits listed, so Benefits section is warranted.
The posting has "About CRH" with substantive content about the company structure, so I'll include that.
Job ID is minor metadata - I'll fold it into a short
at the beginning or drop it. The instruction says "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it". I'll include it in a brief
at the top.
Now, structure:
- Start with a
for Job ID and maybe company intro? The company description at the beginning is quite long. It's part of the job posting. I could include it in "About the company" section, but it appears before the job summary. Actually, the first paragraph is "Oldcastle, a CRH company, is reinventing..." That's company description. Then "Job Summary" follows. I'll create an "About the company" section for that first paragraph, and "About the role" for the job summary and location.
But the instruction says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't mention "About the company", but it's a common section. I think it's fine to include if there's substantive content.
Let me map:
- About the company: first paragraph (Oldcastle description)
- About the role: Job Summary + Job Location
- Responsibilities: Job Responsibilities list
- Requirements: Job Requirements list
- Benefits: What CRH Offers You list
- About CRH: About CRH paragraph (but this is similar to About the company). Actually, "About CRH" at the end is more about CRH overall, while the first paragraph is about Oldcastle. Could combine or keep separate. I'll include both but maybe combine into one "About the company" section? The first paragraph is specific to Oldcastle, the last is about CRH. They are related. I'll create an "About the company" section with both paragraphs.
But the instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information". So I should include both.
Now, for each section, use for heading, then
for prose,
- for lists.
Job Responsibilities is a list of bullet points (each line starts with a verb). I'll make each a
- .
Job Requirements is a list of bullet points.
What CRH Offers You is a list of bullet points.
About the company paragraphs are prose.
Job Summary is prose.
Job Location is prose.
Job ID: I'll put in a
at the very beginning: "Job ID: 530099" or maybe "Job ID: 530099 | Oldcastle, a CRH company". But the company description is separate. I'll just put Job ID in a
and then the company description in About the company.
Let's draft HTML:

Wait, I have two "About the company" sections. That's okay but maybe combine. The first is about Oldcastle, the second about CRH. They are distinct but related. I'll keep both but maybe rename second to "About CRH". The instruction says use for section headings like "About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule". It doesn't forbid other headings. I'll use "About CRH" for the second.
