We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Title: Field Controls Technician FLSA: Non-Exempt UPDATED: 08/15/2026 DIVISION: DSS REPORTS TO: Customer Care Manager Summary: Provide technical support and troubleshooting service to customers over the phone, virtually, and at their facilities to install, repair, and optimize KraussMaffei equipment. Essential Responsibilities: list of bullet points. Behavioral Performance Expectations: list. Job Specific Competencies: list. Technology Specific Competencies: two subcategories: Injection Molding / Extrusion and Reaction Process Molding. Supervisory Responsibility: This position has no supervisory responsibilities. Work Environment: description. Physical Demands: description. Expected Hours of Work: description. Travel: details. Required Education And Experience: details. We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (essential responsibilities), Requirements (maybe required education and experience?), Qualifications (maybe job specific competencies?), Skills (technology specific competencies?), Benefits (none given), Pay (none given), Schedule (expected hours of work). Also maybe Work Environment, Physical Demands, Travel could be part of About the role or separate sections? The instruction says use headings for those specific section names only. It says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings only; we shouldn't add other headings like Work Environment etc. So we need to fit content into those sections. Probably we put summary in About the role. Responsibilities: essential responsibilities + behavioral performance expectations? Might be separate but we can combine. Requirements: maybe required education and experience. Qualifications: job specific competencies. Skills: technology specific competencies. Benefits: none -> omit. Pay: none -> omit. Schedule: expected hours of work + travel? Travel maybe part of schedule? But schedule is about hours; travel is separate but we have no heading for travel. Could include travel under About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to include travel under About the role as part of role description. However we must not invent sections; we can include travel details in About the role paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from each bullet. Let's extract.
