We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections where posting has real specific content. The posting includes Summary (purpose), Qualifications, Duties (major duties), Work Schedule, Physical Requirements, Position Description Title/PD#, etc.
We need to map content to appropriate sections.
We have no explicit "About the role" but we have Summary Purpose. Could treat as About the role.
Responsibilities: Duties.
Requirements/Qualifications: Qualifications section includes experience, screen-out element, etc. Could combine as Requirements.
Skills: maybe from duties: knowledge of electronic solid state circuitry, ability to interpret drawings, etc. Could be Skills.
Benefits: Not mentioned. So omit Benefits.
Pay: Not mentioned. Omit.
Schedule: Work Schedule given: Monday Through Friday 08:00am - 04:30pm. So include Schedule.
Physical Requirements: Not a standard heading but could be part of Requirements or maybe separate? Not in list. Could include under Requirements or maybe as a separate section not in allowed headings? The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use h3 for section headings (e.g. ...)" implying we should use those headings when appropriate. Could we add a Physical Requirements heading? It's not in the list but maybe allowed as it's a heading. However they said "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests those are examples; we could still use other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. Physical requirements could be placed under Requirements or Qualifications.
Position Description Title/PD#: minor metadata, fold into short p or drop. Likely drop.
Thus sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (qualifications + experience + screen-out + physical), Skills (maybe from duties), Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.

We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
Thus for each section we need to decide if content is list or prose.
About the role: summary purpose is a paragraph.
Responsibilities: list of duties (multiple bullet points). Use
- .
Requirements: includes qualifications text (experience, screen-out element, volunteer credit, note about full year, part-time). Could be prose but also list? Might be better as prose paragraphs. However instruction: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we treat requirements as list, we need to break into items. Could list each requirement: Experience evidence, Screen-out element, Volunteer credit, Note about full year, Part-time credit. That seems okay.
Skills: list of skills/knowledge: electronic solid state circuitry, maintenance/troubleshooting techniques, interpret complex drawings, ability to work without blueprints, use established/innovational techniques, learn methods for diagnosing problems, etc. Could be list.
Schedule: prose: Monday Through Friday 08:00am - 04:30pm.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present.
Let's extract details.
Summary Purpose: "Purpose of this position is to install - maintain - monitor - repair - control and in some cases - fabricate the control portion of the Energy Monitoring and Control System (EMCS) - related systems - and all other control systems at the Northern California Health Care System (NCHCS) under Facilities Management Service."
We need to preserve dash usage? Keep as is.
Duties: list items:
- Perform installation - maintenance - repair - modification - and in some cases - fabrication of the highly diverse and very sophisticated control equipment - making up the components - assemblies and systems of the EMCS
- Applies detailed knowledge of these components - assemblies - and systems to bypass (when necessary) certain components to the major portion of the EMCS system operational while performing the installation - repair - modification - or fabrication of some portion of the system
- Knowledge of electronic solid state circuitry - the application of maintenance and troubleshooting techniques on varied devices - such as state of the art measurement techniques - optical - mechanical - electric and pneumatic devices and various types of self contained calibration systems is required
- Required to have the ability to interpret complex multi-view drawings - sketches - wiring diagrams - electrical and electronic block diagrams - schematics - manufactures specifications - and other technical material to understand the construction of operation of the industrial controls and to isolate and troubleshoot malfunctions
- Sometimes repairs or modifications are performed when blueprints and manufactures specifications are not available or incomplete
- Uses both previously established and innovational techniques to determine the type of test and test equipment required to identify malfunction - interpret results - and determine applicable approach to the problem - both in maintenance and in making modification fabrications and additions to the system
- Learns the methods in use for diagnosing various types of problems - making decisions - troubleshooting on a multitude of systems using information received from a console - engineering drawings - specifications and make various decisions on operating capabilities - efficiency - load shedding - and other highly technical decision
We need to keep the dash separated items as is.
Qualifications text:
"To qualify for this position - applicants must meet all requirements by the closing date of this announcement.
EXPERIENCE: A specific length of training and experience is not required - but you must show evidence of training or experience of sufficient scope and quality of your ability to do the work of this position. Evidence which demonstrates you possess the knowledge - skills - and ability to perform the duties of this position must be supported by detailed descriptions of such on your resume. Applicants will be rated in accordance with the OPM Federal Wage System Qualification Standards.
SCREEN-OUT ELEMENT: Your qualifications will first be evaluated against the prescribed screen out element - which usually appears as question 1 in the on-line questionnaire. Those applicants who appear to possess at least the minimal acceptable qualification requirement are considered for further rating; those who do not are rated ineligible and are eliminated. The potential eligibles are then rated against the remainder of the Job Elements: Equipment Assembly - Installation - Repair Interpret Instructions - Specifications (includes blueprint reading) Technical Practices Without more than normal supervision Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience - including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g. - Peace Corps - AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g. - professional; philanthropic; religions; spiritual; community; student; social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies - knowledge - and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience - including volunteer experience. Note: A full year of work is considered to be 35-40 hours of work per week. Part-time experience will be credited on the basis of time actually spent in appropriate activities. Applicants wishing to receive credit for such experience must indicate clearly the nature of their duties and responsibilities in each position and the number of hours a week spent in such employment."
We need to preserve all that.
Physical Requirements: "Position requires a physical pre-placement exam Frequently lifts - carries - or otherwise handles items weighting up to 40 pounds Occasionally handles items that weight more - but assistance is usually available Works in a sitting position for extended periods Frequently stands - walks - bends - crouches - reaches - and stoops Occasionally climbs and works in high places"
We could include under Requirements as additional items.
