We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About Us? The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. The posting includes "About Us", "About This Role", "What You'll Do" (which includes responsibilities), "What You'll Bring" (experience & education, skills), "Travel Requirements", "What You'll Get" (benefits). Also maybe "Equal Opportunity Employer" boilerplate should be removed. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role (maybe "About This Role" maps to About the role). Responsibilities (from "What You'll Do" responsibilities). Requirements/Qualifications (from "What You'll Bring" experience & education). Skills (from "Skills" subsection). Benefits (from "What You'll Get"). Pay (not present, so omit). Schedule (maybe travel? Not schedule). Travel is not schedule; we could include Travel under maybe a separate section? Not allowed headings list includes Schedule only. Travel not allowed; we could fold travel into a short

maybe under Benefits? But better to include a short paragraph about travel under maybe a generic section? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." Travel is not minor metadata? It's a requirement. Could include under a section like "Travel" but not allowed heading. Could embed in a

under maybe "Requirements" or separate

after sections. Probably we can include a

for travel details. We must not include boilerplate like Equal Opportunity Employer. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract content: About Us: QISG leverages Quanta’s comprehensive resources... (the paragraph). Keep. About This Role: The Director, Project Controls leads... (the paragraph). Keep. What You'll Do: includes sections: Leadership & Development, Schedule Leadership, Document Control & Change Leadership, Risk Identification & Control, Project Management Structure & Governance, Progress Reporting & Physical Completion. Each with bullet-like paragraphs. We need to output as

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can combine all responsibilities into a list. What You'll Bring: EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION (list of bullet points) and Skills (list). We'll need Requirements/Qualifications section for experience & education, and Skills section for skills. Travel Requirements: Travel: Yes, Percent of Time: Up to 30%, Position Location: Houston, TX. We'll embed as a

    . What You'll Get: list of benefits. We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Pay or Schedule sections unless present. Not present. Thus sections: About Us (maybe not in allowed list but we can still use

    About Us? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those examples. Safer to stick to those headings. About Us could be considered "About the role"? Actually About Us is about company, not role. Could we omit About Us? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information". If we omit About Us, we lose info. Could we include it under a heading like "About the role"? Not appropriate. Maybe we can include a

    About Us even though not in list; the instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, just that we should use

    for section headings. So we can use

    for any section heading we need. So we can have
