We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About Us? Actually "About Us" is not a standard heading list; they said use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content accordingly. We have sections: About Us (company description) maybe not needed? They said do NOT repeat job title as heading; but we can include About Us as maybe not a standard heading; but they gave examples of headings; they didn't forbid other headings, but they said use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings if content exists. "About Us" is not in list; maybe we should omit or incorporate into something else? The posting includes "About Us" describing company; we could treat that as "About the role"? No, that's about role. There's also "About This Role". That could map to "About the role". So we can put that content under

About the role

. The "About Us" could be considered company overview; maybe we can drop as not required? But they said preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the company description somewhere. Could we put it under a

About the company

? Not in list but maybe acceptable? The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. So we can use other headings as needed, but better to stick to those examples if possible. However we need to preserve all info; we could put company description under a

About the company

which is similar to About the role but not exactly; but maybe acceptable. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine About Us and About This Role into About the role? Not ideal. Maybe we treat "About Us" as introductory paragraph before headings, not a heading. Could just be a

before the first heading. That would preserve info without extra heading. That seems okay: we can have a

with the About Us text. Then headings for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, etc. Let's extract content: About Us paragraph: "Irby Construction Company has been building infrastructure for the power industry for more than 75 years. Our business values and performance-driven mindset guide our actions. Our approach to work starts with safety, puts people first, seeks to innovate, and promises to perform. Irby is proud of its inclusive work environment, family-oriented culture, excellent benefits, and clear pathways for career growth.

That means team Irby gets the benefits of the company culture we’re known for along with the stability and resources of a Fortune 500 organization. (NYSE: PWR). Build your career at Irby Construction." We'll put that as a

before headings. Next: "About This Role" heading content: description of role. We'll put under

About the role

with paragraphs. Then "What You'll Do" corresponds to Responsibilities. So

Responsibilities

with list of duties (many bullet points). Use
  • . Then "What You'll Bring" corresponds to Requirements/Qualifications. Could split into Requirements (minimum experience) and Qualifications (education, certifications). But we can combine into one section maybe Requirements. However they prefer few substantive sections. We could have

    Requirements

    containing the bullet list of qualifications (minimum 5 years, degree, etc.) plus maybe also Skills & Competencies as separate

    Skills

    . Then "Skills & Competencies" as Skills section. Then "Travel Requirements", "Physical Qualifications" maybe could be part of Requirements or separate? Could be part of Requirements. But we could keep them under Requirements as additional bullet points. Then "What You'll Get" corresponds to Benefits. So

    Benefits

    with list. We should not include Pay or Schedule sections because not specified. We must remove boilerplate: EEO etc. Remove Equal Opportunity Employer block. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, etc. Already not present. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must preserve all substantive info. Let's extract details.
