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 that have real specific content. We have: About the role: The first paragraph(s) describing role. Could be "Engineering a world of possibilities The Endpoint Support Engineer is an advanced technical support role...". That's about the role. Responsibilities: There is a "Primary Responsibilities" section with many bullet points. Also there are sub-sections: Endpoint Support..., Virtual Desktop Support..., Technical Workstream Coordination..., Device Standards... Those are responsibilities. So we can put them under Responsibilities. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications section. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. Skills: Not explicitly separate; but we could embed skills within qualifications? The instruction says use headings only when posting has real specific content. There's no separate Skills section; we could omit. Benefits: There's a Salary And Benefits section with salary range and benefits description. So we need Pay and Benefits sections? The instruction: include Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. Pay is stated: $95,000 - $105,000 annual salary. Benefits described. Schedule: The posting says "This is an on-site role and a physical presence on campus in Golden, CO is required five days a week." That's schedule info (on-site, 5 days a week). So we can include Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for each section heading. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

    . We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: visa sponsorship not available, etc? That's substantive? It's a condition; we should keep? It's not boilerplate; it's a specific condition. Should we keep? It's not cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. It's a condition about visa sponsorship. It's substantive. We'll keep in About the role maybe. Also "This is an on-site role..." we will put in Schedule. We need to avoid duplicating lines. Let's extract content. About the role: The first paragraph(s) before "Primary Responsibilities". Let's capture: "Engineering a world of possibilities The Endpoint Support Engineer is an advanced technical support role within the Information Technology Department that helps ensure Mines-managed devices, software deployments, and virtual desktop services are reliable, secure, supportable, and ready for use across campus. The position supports endpoint computing services used by faculty, staff, students, classrooms, labs, and administrative units, with a focus on configuration, troubleshooting, documentation, deployment readiness, and continuous service improvement. This role provides Tier 3 support for complex endpoint and VDI issues within the customer-facing support path, coordinates assigned technical workstreams, and partners with infrastructure teams when resolution requires platform engineering, architecture changes, or system-level updates. The role also leads technical implementation activities, pilots, and service readiness efforts. Working with IT colleagues, faculty, staff, and campus stakeholders, the position helps translate endpoint and virtual workspace capabilities into consistent, well-documented, user-centered services that support teaching, learning, research, and administrative operations at Mines. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position now nor in the future. This is an on-site role and a physical presence on campus in Golden, CO is required five days a week." We might split visa sponsorship and on-site into separate sections? Visa sponsorship is a condition; we could keep in About the role. On-site we will move to Schedule. Thus About the role paragraph up to before "This is an on-site role..." maybe we keep visa sponsorship but not the on-site line. Let's separate: We'll keep visa sponsorship in About the role, and move on-site to Schedule. Thus About the role text: "Engineering a world of possibilities The Endpoint Support Engineer is an advanced technical support role within the Information Technology Department that helps ensure Mines-managed devices, software deployments, and virtual desktop services are reliable, secure, supportable, and ready for use across campus. The position supports endpoint computing services used by faculty, staff, students, classrooms, labs, and administrative units, with a focus on configuration, troubleshooting, documentation, deployment readiness, and continuous service improvement. This role provides Tier 3 support for complex endpoint and VDI issues within the customer-facing support path, coordinates assigned technical workstreams, and partners with infrastructure teams when resolution requires platform engineering, architecture changes, or system-level updates. The role also leads technical implementation activities, pilots, and service readiness efforts. Working with IT colleagues, faculty, staff, and campus stakeholders, the position helps translate endpoint and virtual workspace capabilities into consistent, well-documented, user-centered services that support teaching, learning, research, and administrative operations at Mines. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position now nor in the future." Now Responsibilities: We have Primary Responsibilities and sub-sections. We'll combine all bullet points into a single list under Responsibilities. Need to preserve all details. Let's list bullet points from the text: Under "Primary Responsibilities": - Endpoint Support, Software Deployment & Device Readiness - Support endpoint management services used to configure, deploy, patch, secure, and troubleshoot Mines-managed devices. -
