We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About CEL Critical Power" description, then "Scope of Accountability", then "Electrical Design & Schematics", then "Documentation & BOM Management", then "Cross-Functional Collaboration & Supplier Liaison", then "Requirements Background", "Required Experience", "Qualifications", "Skills & Competencies", "Benefits". We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings.
We have no Pay or Schedule info, so omit those.
We have About the role? The posting includes "About CEL Critical Power" description; we could treat that as About the role? Probably "About the role" heading for description of role and company. We'll include
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings.
We have no Pay or Schedule info, so omit those.
We have About the role? The posting includes "About CEL Critical Power" description; we could treat that as About the role? Probably "About the role" heading for description of role and company. We'll include About the role
with paragraphs summarizing company description and scope? But we must preserve all substantive info, not invent. We can include the company description as paragraph(s). Then responsibilities: we have Scope of Accountability and sub-sections: Electrical Design & Schematics, Documentation & BOM Management, Cross-Functional Collaboration & Supplier Liaison. Those are responsibilities. So we can put Responsibilities
with - items covering each bullet? Could also keep subheadings but only allowed headings are those specific; we could still include subheadings as
maybe? But instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use for section headings (list). Likely they want only those headings as top-level sections. We can embed details in
or
. We'll not create extra headings.
Thus:
About the role

... plus the subpoints under Electrical Design & Schematics etc. We need to include all bullet points from those sections.
Let's extract all bullet points:
From "Scope of Accountability" list:
- Electrical schematic design for LV switchboard assemblies in accordance with UL standards (including UL891, UL62368-1, UL508A, UL1008S, UL1008, UL67)

- BOM generation and maintenance for all electrical designs
- FAT procedure support and technical documentation preparation
- Control logic, interlocking and communication interface design where required
- Compliance verification against UL standards, NFPA, client specifications and internal quality procedures
- Structured project documentation management
- Familiar with IEC Standards
Then under "Electrical Design & Schematics":
- Review and interpret client specifications, one-line diagrams and project requirements, translating them into compliant, detailed electrical designs
- Design low voltage switchgear assemblies in accordance with applicable regional standards
- Develop complete electrical schematic drawings using EPLAN or equivalent software, to the required accuracy and documentation standard
- Prepare General Arrangement (GA) drawings in close coordination with the Mechanical Design team
- Select and size electrical components — ACBs, MCCBs, contactors, relays, protection devices and busbar systems — appropriate to the project specification
- Perform basic electrical calculations including fault level analysis, load calculations, cable sizing, busbar rating and thermal considerations
- Ensure proper coordination and discrimination of protective devices across all designs
- Incorporate control logic, interlocking schemes and communication interfaces (Modbus, Profinet, and equivalents) where project requirements demand
Under "Documentation & BOM Management":
- Generate and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) for all electrical designs
- Support FAT procedures and prepare associated technical documentation to the required standard
- Maintain structured, organized project documentation throughout the design and delivery lifecycle
- Ensure all designs are compliant with IEC standards, client specifications and CEL's internal quality procedures, and that compliance is documented appropriately
Under "Cross-Functional Collaboration & Supplier Liaison":
- Provide technical support to Production during panel assembly and wiring — resolving queries promptly and accurately
- Liaise with suppliers for technical clarifications, component selection and confirmation of design feasibility
- Collaborate actively with Mechanical Design, Project Management and Production to ensure designs are aligned with all functional, assembly, and project requirements
We must avoid duplication. Many items repeat (e.g., component selection, GA drawings, calculations, control logic, BOM, FAT, compliance). We should combine unique items, preserving all info but not repeating same sentence. We'll deduplicate.
Let's compile unique responsibilities:
1. Review and interpret client specifications, one-line diagrams and project requirements, translating them into compliant, detailed electrical designs.
2. Design low voltage switchgear assemblies in accordance with applicable regional standards.
3. Develop complete electrical schematic drawings using EPLAN or equivalent software, to the required accuracy and documentation standard.
4. Prepare General Arrangement (GA) drawings in close coordination with the Mechanical Design team.
5. Select and size electrical components — ACBs, MCCBs, contactors, relays, protection devices and busbar systems — appropriate to the project specification.
6. Perform basic electrical calculations including fault level analysis, load calculations, cable sizing, busbar rating and thermal considerations.
7. Ensure proper coordination and discrimination of protective devices across all designs.
8. Incorporate control logic, interlocking schemes and communication interfaces (Modbus, Profinet, and equivalents) where project requirements demand.
9. Generate and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) for all electrical designs.
10. Support FAT procedures and prepare associated technical documentation to the required standard.
11. Maintain structured, organized project documentation throughout the design and delivery lifecycle.
12. Ensure all designs are compliant with IEC standards, client specifications and CEL's internal quality procedures, and that compliance is documented appropriately.
13. Provide technical support to Production during panel assembly and wiring — resolving queries promptly and accurately.
14. Liaise with suppliers for technical clarifications, component selection and confirmation of design feasibility.
15. Collaborate actively with Mechanical Design, Project Management and Production to ensure designs are aligned with all functional, assembly, and project requirements.
16. Familiar with IEC Standards (maybe covered by 12).
We can keep "Familiar with IEC Standards" as separate but it's similar to 12.
Also "Electrical schematic design for LV switchboard assemblies in accordance with UL standards (including UL891, UL62368-1, UL508A, UL1008S, UL1008, UL67)" is covered by 3 and maybe 2? We'll add a specific bullet: "Electrical schematic design for LV switchboard assemblies in accordance with UL standards (including UL891, UL62368-1, UL508A, UL1008S, UL1008, UL67)". That's distinct.
Also "General Arrangement drawing preparation in coordination with Mechanical Design" is same as 4.
"Component selection and sizing — ACBs, MCCBs, contactors, relays, protection devices and busbar systems" same as 5.
"Electrical calculations — fault level, load, cable sizing, busbar rating and thermal analysis" same as 6.
"BOM generation and maintenance for all electrical designs" same as 9.
"FAT procedure support and technical documentation preparation" same as 10.
"Control logic, interlocking and communication interface design where required" same as 8.

"Familiar with IEC Standards" maybe separate.
Thus final responsibilities list will have many items; we can keep them.
