We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for each section that has content. Use
  • for lists. Use

    for prose. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, application instructions. The posting includes sections: Position Summary (maybe we treat as intro paragraph). Then Essential Duties and Responsibilities (with sub-sections: Operating Performance Management, District and Field Operations Support, Fleet and Maintenance Performance, Standard Work and Operational Readiness, Cross-Functional and Growth Support). Then Key Performance Outcomes (with subpoints). Then Education and Experience. Then Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. Then Role Scope and Working Relationships. Then Work Environment and Physical Requirements. Possibly also "Position Summary" as heading? The instruction: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map sections accordingly. The job title is not to be repeated as heading. So we can have headings like "Position Summary", "Responsibilities", "Key Performance Outcomes", "Education and Experience", "Knowledge, Skills and Abilities", "Role Scope and Working Relationships", "Work Environment and Physical Requirements". However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine some. But we need to preserve all substantive info. We can keep headings for each major section. We must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless present? Not present. So omit those. We need to format lists where appropriate. For duties and responsibilities, there are bullet-like paragraphs but not explicit bullet list. We can convert each paragraph under subheadings into
    • . Or we can keep as

      . The instruction: Use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to detect lists. The text includes sentences separated by periods, not explicit bullet list. But we can treat each duty as a list item. Probably better to wrap each duty in
      • . However we need to preserve all info. Could create a
          with each duty as
        • . But there are sub-sections; we could have nested lists? Simpler: For each major duty section, we can create a
            with
          • items each sentence. But that may be excessive. However instruction: "Use
            • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". The duties are indeed a list. So we should output a
                with each duty as
              • . Similarly for Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (list). For Education and Experience maybe not a list but prose. Key Performance Outcomes: they have Outcome Area and Illustrative Measures in a table-like format. Could treat as
                  with each outcome as
                • containing maybe Outcome Area: Illustrative Measures. We'll need to strip boilerplate: Equal Employment Opportunity, etc. Also remove "This job description summarizes the primary duties..." etc. Let's extract content. Position Summary paragraph: "The Director of Operations Support provides operational analysis, coordination, and practical assistance to the Chief Operating Officer, District Operations Directors, and maintenance leaders across the Company’s solid waste collection and fleet maintenance operations. The role helps District Operations Directors translate Company priorities and performance targets into practical district-level actions while supporting consistency and visibility across locations. This position supports the Company’s operating cadence by organizing performance information, facilitating reviews, and providing hands-on assistance when requested by the Chief Operating Officer or a District Operations Director. District Operations Directors retain direct accountability for their respective district operations, employees, service delivery, and financial results. The Director of Operations Support provides enterprise visibility, specialized support, coordination, and escalation but does not replace district-level ownership." That's the summary. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: It has sub-sections. We'll create a heading

                  Responsibilities

                  and then maybe subheadings? But instruction only mentions using

                  for section headings; subheadings not specified. Could still use

                  for each subsection? Might be okay but could be many thin sections. Better to keep one Responsibilities section and inside use
                  • for each duty, possibly grouping by subheadings as within
                  • . But we need to preserve all info. Simplify: We'll output

                    Responsibilities

                    then a
                      with each duty as
                    • . We'll include the subheadings as part of the
                    • text (maybe bold). That preserves info.
