We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present. No job title heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions. We need to preserve substantive info.
Let's parse content:
Intro paragraph: "We make pet food taste great! For over 30 years, AFB International has been providing pet food solutions that enrich the lives of pets and their people. Our palatants are specially designed to make pet foods, treats and supplements taste better, ensuring pets receive the vital nutrients they need. We know wagging tails, licking whiskers and empty bowls equal happy pets and happy pet parents. Join AFB and you'll be a part of a team of highly skilled professionals that provide the greatest contribution to our success as an organization. Our team members are diverse, creative, passionate experts who are genuinely dedicated to our mission, our customers, and the pets we serve worldwide."
Then "Job Description" heading (but we shouldn't repeat job title as heading; we can treat "Job Description" as maybe a section? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to those headings. The posting includes sections: "The Impact You’ll Make", "Strategic Leadership & Culture Building", "Risk Management & Continuous Improvement", "Training & Workforce Development", "Environmental & Regulatory Excellence", "Emergency Preparedness & Business Continuity", "What You Bring" with Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, "The Leader We’re Looking For", "Why This Role Matters". Also intro about company.
We need to decide which sections to output. We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. Likely we can have sections: About the role (maybe intro + job description summary), Responsibilities (the bullet points under Impact etc), Requirements (Qualifications), Skills (maybe The Leader We’re Looking For), Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we omit those.

We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The posting has bullet-like sentences but not explicit bullet list. We can still treat each duty as list items under appropriate sections.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them as paragraphs or list items.
We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO statement, maybe also "Apply today..."? That's application instruction; we should remove. Also "AFB International is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE)." Remove.
Also "Job Description" heading we can ignore as not needed.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.
Let's structure:
About the role
We make pet food taste great! For over 30 years, AFB International has been providing pet food solutions that enrich the lives of pets and their people. Our palatants are specially designed to make pet foods, treats and supplements taste better, ensuring pets receive the vital nutrients they need. We know wagging tails, licking whiskers and empty bowls equal happy pets and happy pet parents. Join AFB and you'll be a part of a team of highly skilled professionals that provide the greatest contribution to our success as an organization. Our team members are diverse, creative, passionate experts who are genuinely dedicated to our mission, our customers, and the pets we serve worldwide.
Are you a strategic safety leader who believes that operational excellence starts with a culture of zero incidents? Do you thrive in environments where you can influence change, build strong partnerships, and drive meaningful impact across an organization? We are seeking an experienced Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Manager at our site in Aurora, Missouri to champion our safety-first culture while advancing environmental stewardship and regulatory excellence. This is more than a compliance role — it’s an opportunity to shape strategy, empower teams, and create a workplace where people and performance thrive together.
Then responsibilities: maybe combine Impact You’ll Make and subsections.
We could have Responsibilities
with - items covering each bullet.
Let's extract bullet points:
From "The Impact You’ll Make As our EHS Manager, you will serve as a trusted advisor to leadership and a passionate advocate for employees. You will design and lead programs that protect our people, safeguard the environment, and support operational success."
Then subheadings:
Strategic Leadership & Culture Building:
- Develop, implement, and continuously improve EHS strategies, programs, and policies.
- Champion a proactive Zero Incident culture through engagement, visibility, and leadership collaboration.
- Lead safety committees and cross-functional teams to drive measurable improvements.
- Track and communicate leading and lagging indicators to inspire performance and accountability.
Risk Management & Continuous Improvement:
- Lead hazard identification, risk assessments, industrial hygiene monitoring, and job safety analyses.
- Drive incident investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective actions that prevent recurrence.
- Ensure proper selection and implementation of engineering controls and PPE.
- Manage EHS budgets and capital investments to support long-term safety and environmental initiatives.
Training & Workforce Development:
- Design and deliver impactful EHS training for employees, supervisors, new hires, and contractors.
- Coach and influence leaders at all levels to strengthen safety ownership and accountability.
Environmental & Regulatory Excellence:
- Ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations (OSHA, EPA, DOT, etc.).
- Serve as the primary liaison for regulatory agencies, inspections, and audits.
- Manage environmental programs including waste, emissions, stormwater, hazardous materials, and wastewater.
- Maintain permits, reporting requirements, and compliance calendars.
- Drive environmental sustainability and continuous improvement initiatives.
Emergency Preparedness & Business Continuity:
- Lead emergency response planning and drills.
- Partner with Operations and Quality to maintain crisis management and business continuity plans.
We can combine these into a single responsibilities list, but maybe better to keep subheadings? The instruction only says use h3 for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. It doesn't forbid additional headings, but we should prefer few substantive sections. Could embed subheadings as
maybe but not required. Safer to just have one Responsibilities section with a list.
Thus Responsibilities
- ... each bullet as
- .
Now Requirements: Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications.
We can have Requirements
with - for each qualification.
Required:
- Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Environmental Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- 5–7 years of progressive EHS experience.
Preferred:
- 10+ years of EHS leadership experience in industrial/manufacturing environments.
- Experience in wastewater management.
- Demonstrated success leading cultural transformation initiatives.
Now Skills: The Leader We’re Looking For bullet points.
We can have
Skills
with list.
Items:
- A confident decision-maker who leads with both courage and collaboration.
- Highly knowledgeable in safety, health, and environmental regulations.
- Skilled at influencing without direct authority.
- Detail-oriented with strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
- Customer-focused while holding firm on safety standards.
- Responsive, proactive, and able to balance thoughtful planning with urgency.
- Able to translate complex regulatory requirements into practical, actionable solutions.
Now Why This Role Matters: could be a section maybe "About the role" already includes some. Could add a separate section "Impact" but we already have responsibilities. Might add a section "Why This Role Matters" as a paragraph.
But instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We already have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills. Could add a short paragraph about why role matters under About the role or as its own section. Might be okay to add a section "Why this role matters" as Why this role matters
with paragraph.
But we must not create sections with filler text. This paragraph is substantive.
Thus final HTML:
About the role
... intro + job description summary ...
Responsibilities
- Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership and a passionate advocate for employees; design and lead programs that protect people, safeguard the environment, and support operational success.

Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Environmental Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- 5–7 years of progressive EHS experience.
Preferred Qualifications
maybe combine under Requirements? Could have separate heading but we said prefer few sections. Could combine Required and Preferred under Requirements with subheadings? But we need to use h3 for section headings; we could have Requirements
and then inside have Required: ...
Preferred: ...
but we need lists for qualifications. Could do two under same h3? That's okay.
Thus:
Requirements
Required:
...
Preferred:
...
But we must not add extra headings like "Preferred Qualifications" as h3 if we want few sections. However the instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It lists Qualifications as an example heading. So we could have a separate Qualifications
and put both required and preferred there. That seems appropriate.
Thus we can have Qualifications
with required and preferred lists.
Then Skills section.
Then Why this role matters.
Thus final sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Why this role matters.
Now ensure we preserve all substantive information: we included intro, job description summary, responsibilities list (including all bullet points), qualifications (required and preferred), skills list, why role matters paragraph.
We removed boilerplate: EEO, apply today, etc.
Check for any missed details: The posting also mentions "Aurora, Missouri" location. Did we include that? In About the role we included "We are seeking an experienced Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Manager at our site in Aurora, Missouri". Yes.
Also "Join AFB and you'll be a part of a team..." included
