We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting: It includes description, essential functions, knowledge/skills/abilities, desired minimum qualifications, special qualifications, tools/equipment, working conditions, etc.
We need to extract substantive info.
We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to decide sections: Possibly "About the role" (description), "Responsibilities" (essential functions), "Requirements" (knowledge, skills, abilities, desired minimum qualifications, special qualifications), "Qualifications" maybe overlapping, but we can combine. "Skills" maybe part of requirements. "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule" only if present.
Pay: The posting includes "$39.21 to $51.63 DOQ". That's pay range. So we should include a Pay section.
Schedule: It says Full-Time. So schedule: Full-Time. Could include Schedule section.
Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits details. So we should not include Benefits section.
We need to include headings only when content present.
Thus sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (knowledge, skills, abilities, desired minimum qualifications, special qualifications), Pay, Schedule.
We could also include Qualifications separate but maybe combine with Requirements. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which to use. We should not create thin sections. So maybe combine knowledge/skills/abilities into Requirements, and desired minimum qualifications also there. Could also have Skills separate but that would be thin. Better to have Requirements covering knowledge, skills, abilities, qualifications.
Thus:
.

We need to ensure we didn't miss any.

Working Conditions: physical demands etc. Could be included in Requirements or maybe separate but we have no heading for Working Conditions. Could incorporate into Requirements as part of abilities.
We need to preserve all substantive info, so we should include Tools and Equipment and Working Conditions somewhere. Perhaps under Requirements as additional bullet points.
We could create a section "Requirements" and include sub-bullets for Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, Minimum Qualifications, Special Qualifications, Tools & Equipment, Working Conditions.
But we must not create thin sections; having one Requirements section with many bullets is fine.
Thus:
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.

"Skills" maybe part of requirements. "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule" only if present.
Pay: The posting includes "$39.21 to $51.63 DOQ". That's pay range. So we should include a Pay section.
Schedule: It says Full-Time. So schedule: Full-Time. Could include Schedule section.
Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits details. So we should not include Benefits section.
We need to include headings only when content present.
Thus sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (knowledge, skills, abilities, desired minimum qualifications, special qualifications), Pay, Schedule.
We could also include Qualifications separate but maybe combine with Requirements. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which to use.

Could also have Skills separate but that would be thin. Better to have Requirements covering knowledge, skills, abilities, qualifications.
Thus:

Performs difficult work conducting building inspections to ensure compliance with codes and regulations, reviewing plans for construction standards, issuing and filing notices and citations, completing required reports, and related work. Work is performed under the limited supervision of the Building Official.
But we need to preserve all substantive info: The description includes also "Performs difficult work conducting building inspections to ensure compliance with codes and regulations, reviewing plans for construction standards, issuing and filing notices and citations, completing required reports, and related work. Work is performed under the limited supervision of the Building Official." That's repeated later in Position Objective. We should include it once. We also have location info: "CC Government Center 313 N Main St Center City, MN 55012, USA". Could include in About the role or maybe separate? Not a heading. Could embed in paragraph. We need to include location maybe in About the role. We need to include Pay: "$39.21 to $51.63 DOQ". DOQ means Depends on Qualification? We'll keep as is. Schedule: "Full-Time". Could also note "Appointed; Government Center Professionals Union". But schedule is Full-Time. Responsibilities: list essential functions as bullet list. We need to extract essential functions list: many sentences. We'll convert each toRequirements

We might also include location in About the role. About the role paragraph: include location and maybe summary. Let's craft:About the role

We should not duplicate the description later. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Job Details Description Open until filled." We used that. Check for any duplicated lines: we used essential functions list; we omitted the introductory sentence "To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential
