We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description paragraphs. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. We need to parse content: The posting includes: - Requisition line: ignore. - "We are accepting applications to build a pipeline..." maybe part of description. - Description paragraph about SPIRIT values. - "If you're ready to launch a career..." etc. - "What Should You Know" bullet points: seniority-based union position, bidding, relocation, on-call 24/7, travel up to 75%, join BRS within 60 days, obtain Class A CDL within 90 days. - Training section: details about training length, classroom, field, evaluations, seniority districts list, links. - Job Responsibilities: list of duties. - Qualifications – Required: list. - Qualifications – Preferred: list. - Physical and Mental Job Requirements: list. - Work Conditions: list. - Compensation And Benefits: includes pay rates and benefits. - Company Overview: description. - Equal opportunity boilerplate: remove. We need to decide sections. We have specific content for: - About the role: could combine description paragraphs (the initial description about role, SPIRIT values, etc.) as prose. - Responsibilities: the list under "Job Responsibilities". - Requirements: maybe combine Qualifications – Required and Physical and Mental Job Requirements? But we have separate sections: Requirements (maybe for required qualifications) and Qualifications (maybe for preferred?). However instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly. We have: - About the role: description. - Responsibilities: list. - Requirements: could be the "Qualifications – Required" plus maybe physical requirements? But physical requirements could be under Requirements or maybe under Skills? Usually physical requirements are part of Requirements. We'll put them under Requirements. - Qualifications: could be the "Qualifications – Preferred" plus maybe technical certificate etc. - Skills: maybe we can extract from preferred qualifications: strong mechanical/electrical aptitude, ability to work independently/team, proficient in basic computer applications, time management, communication skills. Could be placed under Skills. - Benefits: from Compensation And Benefits: benefits list. - Pay: from Compensation And Benefits: pay rates. - Schedule: maybe from "What Should You Know": on-call 24/7, extensive travel up to 75%, etc. Could be schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can reorganize into sections. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, navigation, legal, etc. Remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

We need to ensure we include all specifics: e.g., training details, seniority districts, links, etc. Where to put them? Could be under About the role or maybe a separate Training section but not in allowed headings. Since only allowed headings are those list, we must fit training details somewhere. Could be under About the role (description) or maybe under Requirements? Probably About the role can include description of role, training, etc. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can include training details in About the role paragraph(s). That's okay. Similarly, seniority districts list can be included in About the role. We need to include the link to training video and seniority districts video. We must not include application instructions (like "Click on the link below to learn more...") but that's part of training description; it's a link to Vimeo. Is that considered application instruction? It's informational about training. Probably okay to keep as it's part of role description. The instruction says remove application instructions. The link is not an application instruction; it's just info. We'll keep. We must remove duplicated lines: e.g., "You must obtain a Class A CDL within 90 days of hire (training provided by Norfolk Southern)" appears twice (in What Should You Know and Qualifications – Required). We should include only once? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicate lines: we should not repeat same info multiple times; we can deduplicate. So we need to include each piece of info once. Let's extract all unique substantive points.
