Field Service Engineer - Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to extract content: The posting includes a lot of fluff about BD and Waters, but we need to preserve substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to produce sections: maybe About the role (description), Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum), Preferred Requirements (maybe Qualifications?), Skills (maybe Preferred Requirements includes skills), Pay (salary range), Benefits? Not mentioned explicitly; there is mention of Total Rewards program but no specifics. Should we include Benefits? The posting says: "At BD, we reward, support and develop our associates through our comprehensive Total Rewards program. ... You can learn more on our career site under 'Our Commitment to You.'" No specific benefits listed, so we should not create Benefits section because no specific content. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum), Preferred Requirements (maybe as Qualifications?), Skills (maybe part of Preferred), Pay. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. The job title is Field Service Engineer based in Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan and covering surrounding states. Not to be used as heading. We need to preserve all substantive info: location, travel %, physical lift, etc. Let's extract: About the role: The description includes: Field Service Engineer based in Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan and covering surrounding states. Not a desktop support/IT position. Visiting various customers each day carrying tools and test equipment. Waters is one of the largest global medical technology companies... Within the role of an FSE, daily travel to and from multiple customers sites is required. Complex troubleshooting and repairing systems containing but not limited to, Lasers/optical pathways, fluidic systems, pneumatic systems, electronic systems, and PC’s to resolve issues while onsite is required. Also mention: "We Are The People Who Give Possibilities Purpose BD is one of the largest global medical technology companies..." Might be fluff but still substantive? Might be considered boilerplate? It's about company description. Could be included in About the role. We need to keep all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the paragraphs describing role, responsibilities, etc. Responsibilities: bullet list from posting: - Install and service instrumentation with minimal supervision according to ISO and GMP standards, while providing thorough follow-up service to ensure customer satisfaction. This includes calling customers after service completion to verify all needs were met and documenting all service activities in compliance with GMP requirements. - Maintain proper car stock inventory, test equipment, tools, and technical documentation. This responsibility extends to the proper maintenance and utilization of company vehicles according to Corporate fleet policy, ensuring all resources are ready for service calls. - Display maturity and judgment in time management and expense control, keeping all travel and site visit expenses within established guidelines.

We need to keep the explanatory sentences? The posting includes explanation after each bullet. Should we preserve all substantive information, not just the bullet?

This is more about workplace policy; could be considered part of About the role or maybe a separate section like Work Arrangement? Not in allowed headings. Could be omitted as boilerplate? It's substantive but not fitting headings. Might be considered part of About the role.
Also "#earlycareer" maybe ignore.
"Why Join Us?" section: includes fluff about culture. Could be considered About the role? Might be considered boilerplate? It's substantive but not a specific heading. Could be included in About the role as paragraph.
"To learn more about BD visit https://bd.com/careers." That's a link; could be considered application instruction? Might be omitted as it's not required.
"Becton, Dickinson, and Company is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." That's EEO boilerplate; remove.
"Required Skills Optional Skills Primary Work Location USA CA - Milpitas 155 Additional Locations Work Shift At BD, we reward, support and develop our associates through our comprehensive Total Rewards program...." This includes some info about Total Rewards but not specific benefits. Might be considered boilerplate.
"Our salary or hourly rate ranges reward associates fairly and competitively.... Salary Range Information $25.20 - $40.30 USD Hourly" This is pay info.
Thus we include Pay section with that range.
We should not include Schedule.
