for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Include only sections with real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. The posting includes Base Salary range: Base Salary from $74,551.00-$93,188.00/year. Also compensation range $74,551.00 - $128,688.00. So we have pay info. Schedule: "Work on a twelve-hour uninterrupted rotating shift schedule that consists of nights, weekends and holidays." Also "May require working outside normal Dispatching Center hours." So schedule info present. Benefits: mention "unique comprehensive benefits package". Not detailed but we can include a Benefits section with that statement. However we must not create sections with filler/placeholder text. The phrase "unique comprehensive benefits package" is specific enough? It's vague but it's actual content. We'll include Benefits
- Comprehensive benefits package (details not specified) maybe okay. But we must not invent details. We can just put a
describing that they offer a comprehensive benefits package. That's fine.
We need sections: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Job Functions & Tasks), Requirements (Education requirements, Work Experience preferences, Required License/Certification, Other Must Haves), Qualifications maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we can combine. Skills maybe from abilities listed. We'll decide.
We must not repeat job title. Use headings only when content exists.
Let's extract content:
Job Summary: "Under direct supervision and instruction, provide assistance to: ensure the efficient operation of the transmission system; coordinate operation of the transmission system with the appropriate Reliability Coordinator (AEP SCC), Distribution Dispatching Centers/Authorities, and Transmission Control Centers/Authorities (both internal and external to AEP); arrange, approve, and direct routine and emergency switching/tagging operations for equipment removal/restoration during maintenance, repair, replacement, and construction with limited instruction; receive, record, and maintain logs of operating conditions; monitor system voltages, transformer/line/equipment loadings, and in concert with the AEP SCC, apply corrective action when these parameters deviate from equipment ratings and/or operating limits; monitor the operation of metering and communication facilities and initiate corrective action upon malfunction."
That's prose; we can put in
.
Job Description includes "What you’ll do: Essential Job Functions & Tasks" list. We'll turn each bullet into
- .
List items:

Now "What we’re looking for:" includes Education requirements, Work Experience preferences, Required License(s)/Certification(s), Other Must Haves.
Education: "Entry-level candidates should have a two-year technical degree in Electrical Engineering Technology or related field. OR High School and 2 years experience in a position that demonstrates the ability to operate a power system."
Work Experience preferences: "Not required, but 1-2 years experience in substation operation, protective relaying, or distribution dispatching is desired."

Other Must Haves: list of abilities and conditions:

Also mention "As part of the selection process, candidates are required to complete an online pre-employment assessment and achieve a "recommended" result. Additional information and preparation resources can be found in the Employment Test Prep section of our website: Employment Test Preparation Resources."
We can include that under Requirements or maybe as a note.
Now Benefits: "In addition to a competitive compensation, AEP offers a unique comprehensive benefits package that aims to support and enhance the overall well-being of our employees." Also later: "At AEP, we’re more than just an energy company — we’re a team of dedicated professionals committed to delivering safe, reliable, and innovative energy solutions." That's more fluff but we can keep benefits.
Pay: Base Salary range $74,551.00-$93,188.00/year. Also compensation range $74,551.00 - $128,688.00 (maybe for higher levels). We'll include Pay section with that info.
Schedule: Already captured in Other Must Haves but we can also make a Schedule section: "Work on a twelve-hour uninterrupted rotating shift schedule that consists of nights, weekends and holidays. May require working outside normal Dispatching Center hours. Must have the ability to report timely to worksite due to emergency events."
We must avoid duplication but okay.

Twelve‑hour uninterrupted rotating shift schedule (nights, weekends, holidays); may require working outside normal dispatching center hours and timely reporting for emergency events.
We must ensure not to include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: Job Posting End Date, EEO, etc. Also remove "Get job alerts by email", "Log in to your Candidate Home Account", etc. Also remove "Physical Demand Level" maybe not needed as it's not a section heading we have; but we could include if we want but it's not requested heading; we could omit as not under defined headings. The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should only use those headings. Physical Demand Level not in list, so we omit.
Now ensure we preserve all substantive information. Did we miss any? The job summary includes coordinate operation with appropriate Reliability Coordinator (AEP SCC), Distribution Dispatching Centers/Authorities, and Transmission Control Centers/Authorities (both internal and external to AEP). We included that.
Also "arrange, approve, and direct routine and emergency switching/tagging operations for equipment removal/restoration during maintenance, repair, replacement, and construction with limited instruction;" included.
"receive, record, and maintain logs of operating conditions;" included as maintain a log.
"monitor system voltages, transformer/line/equipment loadings, and in concert with the AEP SCC, apply corrective action when these parameters deviate from equipment ratings and/or operating limits;" included.
"monitor the operation of metering and communication facilities and initiate corrective action upon malfunction." included.
Now "What you’ll do: Essential Job Functions & Tasks" we captured.

Now "Ability to work under pressure..." etc captured.
Now "Must complete all required training and testing..." captured.
Now "If you're passionate about making a meaningful impact..." that's fluff; we can omit as not substantive? It's more marketing; but maybe we can keep under Benefits? It's not benefits. Probably we can omit as it's not required.
Now "Compensation Data Compensation Grade: SP20-006 Compensation Range: $74,551.00 - $128,688.00" we included.
Now "The Physical Demand Level for this job is: S – Sedentary Work..." we omitted as not under allowed headings.
Now "Hear about it first! Get job alerts by email..." omitted.
Now EEO statement omitted.
Now final HTML.
Let's craft.
Be careful to escape any special characters? Not needed.
