We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "What You’ll Do Job Summary:" etc. We'll need sections: About the role (maybe job summary), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule? The posting includes salary range, variable incentive, benefits overview. It mentions remote/hub, travel. It does not give explicit schedule. So we should not create Schedule section unless stated. Benefits: they mention benefits overview link but not specifics. Should we include Benefits? The rule: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Benefits: they say "Eaton provides various Health and Welfare benefits as well as Retirement benefits, and several programs that provide for paid and unpaid time away from work. Click here for more detail: Eaton Benefits Overview." That's somewhat generic but still specific content about benefits types. It's not placeholder like "varies". It's actual description. So we can include Benefits section with that prose. Pay: they give salary range $165,000 to $242,000 a year, variable incentive program. That's specific, so include Pay. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. About the role: we can use the job summary paragraph. Could be under About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties. Qualifications: education, experience, preferred qualifications. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie/legal. The posting includes a lot of EEO text at end; we must remove that. Also remove "All positions may require participation in video and in-person interviews..." etc. That's boilerplate? It's part of hiring process but maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The EEO paragraph is definitely to remove. The "All positions may require participation in video and in-person interviews as part of the hiring process." That's not EEO but could be considered application instructions? It's about interview process; maybe keep? It's not a duty. It's generic. Safer to remove as it's not substantive about role. Also "All candidates will be evaluated based on job-related competencies..." is EEO-ish; remove. The benefits overview link: we can keep as part of Benefits section. We need to preserve all substantive information: job summary, responsibilities, qualifications, pay, benefits, location/hub/remote/travel.

Thus sections: About the role (summary + location/remote/travel), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. We must not include Schedule. Now produce HTML fragment:

    About the role

    ... summary ...

    This role can be based at a major Eaton hub or can be fully remote. Will include travel.

    Then Responsibilities:

      Make sure to not include any boilerplate. Let's craft the prose precisely, preserving all details. About the role paragraph: combine job summary and location/travel. Job Summary paragraph: "The Director, State & Local Gov't Affairs leads and directs Eaton’s state and local government affairs strategy, developing and executing proactive engagement with government officials, monitoring regulatory and policy developments, and driving legislative and regulatory advocacy initiatives across Eaton’s U.S. operations.

Then location sentence: "This role can be based at a major Eaton hub or can be fully remote. Will include travel." We could put location in same paragraph or separate p. Now Responsibilities list: need to keep each bullet exactly as in posting but maybe trim redundant parentheses? Keep substance.
