We need to output HTML fragment with 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 as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro: "Join the IPG Team! Are you ready to elevate your career? At IPG, we are more than just a global leader in packaging and protective solutions—we are a community that values safety, people, passion, integrity, performance, and teamwork. From tapes and films to packaging and protective products, as well as engineered coated materials and advanced packaging machinery, we develop innovative solutions that protect the world. Now, we are expanding our global team and looking for talented individuals like you!" That's about the company, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is more about the position description. The posting includes "Position Description Title: Field Service Technician Department: Field Service Immediate Supervisor: Field Service Manager Status: Non-Exempt Hourly Position Purpose: ..." So we can treat "About the role" as the purpose and overview. Then "Principle Accountabilities" list of duties. Then "Essential Skills And Experience" list. Then "Why Choose IPG?" includes benefits, culture, etc. Might map to Benefits section. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have: - About the role: purpose and overview (Position Purpose paragraph). Could include description of role. - Responsibilities: list from Principle Accountabilities. - Requirements: maybe from Essential Skills And Experience (education, experience). Could split into Requirements (education, experience) and Qualifications (maybe certifications, licenses). But we have driver's license, travel ability, etc. Could treat those as Requirements. - Skills: list of skills (mechanical, electrical, communication, etc.) - Benefits: from Why Choose IPG? includes competitive pay, extensive benefits, career development, training, sustainability, etc. Also mention "We offer competitive pay, extensive benefits that support you and your family, and exciting career development opportunities." Also "ongoing training and the support you need to succeed." So we can include Benefits: competitive pay, extensive benefits (health, etc not specified), career development, training, sustainability culture, etc. However we must not include placeholder like "competitive pay" is okay; it's specific enough? It says competitive pay, extensive benefits, career development, ongoing training. That's substantive. - Pay: we have no specific pay amount; only "competitive pay". The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "competitive pay" which is a statement about pay, albeit not a number. Is that considered stating them? It says "We offer competitive pay". That is a statement about pay, albeit vague. The rule says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state competitive pay, so we can include a Pay section with that statement. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". "competitive pay" is not filler? It's somewhat generic but it's stated. I'd include it. - Schedule: The posting mentions "Ability to travel frequently, including overnight travel, by car or air, averaging 30% of the work week." Also "Flexibility to work extended hours, weekends, or holidays based on customer needs." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with those details. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

Field Service Technician. We must not put Job ID etc. We must use

for section headings. We must use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's none evident. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract sections. About the role: Could combine the introductory paragraph and Position Purpose. Intro: "Join the IPG Team! Are you ready to elevate your career? At IPG, we are more than just a global leader in packaging and protective solutions—we are a community that values safety, people, passion, integrity, performance, and teamwork. From tapes and films to packaging and protective products, as well as engineered coated materials and advanced packaging machinery, we develop innovative solutions that protect the world. Now, we are expanding our global team and looking for talented individuals like you!" Position Purpose: "As a Field Service Technician, you will perform on-site maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs of IPG/Better Packages equipment at customer locations. You ensure equipment uptime, support customer production needs, and deliver a high level of technical service directly in the field. This role requires hands-on mechanical and electrical aptitude, strong customer communication, and the ability to work independently while representing IPG at customer sites." We can combine into a

    maybe two paragraphs. Responsibilities: list from Principle Accountabilities (multiple sentences). Let's extract each bullet: - Develop and maintain expert knowledge of all IPG/Better Packages products, including system features, electrical and mechanical components, automation interfaces, and operational capabilities. - Clearly communicate product value and service recommendations to customers during site visits. - Perform on-site installation, repair, and preventive maintenance on customer-owned IPG/Better Packages equipment. - Diagnose mechanical, electrical, and minor automation-related issues using testing tools and technical documentation. - Provide on-the-job training to customer maintenance teams as needed. - Establish, schedule, and execute Preventive Maintenance (PM) programs for assigned end-user accounts to ensure equipment reliability and minimize downtime. - Assist with field testing, evaluation, and troubleshooting of new products, prototypes, and custom packaging equipment. - Document issues, report unusual performance concerns, and provide feedback for product improvement. - Follow established field service communication procedures, including issuing RMA requests, completing work orders, documenting service actions, submitting expense and trip reports, and maintaining accurate service records. - Perform software upgrades on WAT units and other equipment when required, ensuring compatibility and proper configuration at the customer site. - Support Senior Technicians during complex field service jobs, large-scale installations, or customer escalations as assigned. - Perform other field-related service duties as assigned, including emergency repairs, customer training, projects, and equipment audits. We'll put each as

  • . Requirements: Education and experience: "High School diploma or equivalent required; Associate degree in a technical field (mechanical, electrical, electronics, automation, etc.) preferred. Equivalent field service experience considered." Also maybe "Ability to travel frequently..." but that's schedule. Also "Must hold a valid driver’s license/Real ID with a good driving record and/or passport to aid travel." That could be requirement. Also "Ability to lift up to 60 lbs., carry tools or parts up to 20 lbs., and maneuver equipment using carts weighing up to 60 lbs." That's physical requirement. Also "Ability to bend, squat, walk, stand, and sit for prolonged periods while performing field service work." That's also requirement. We could separate Requirements (education, experience, driver's license) and Qualifications (physical abilities, etc.) but we have both sections. Let's decide: - Requirements: education, experience, driver's license, maybe travel %? Actually travel is schedule. - Qualifications: skills? But we have Skills section separate. Better: Requirements: education, experience, driver's license, maybe ability to travel? But schedule separate. Qualifications: maybe certifications? Not present. Could combine physical abilities as Qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's think: we have many details; we can allocate: - About the role (overview) - Responsibilities (duties) - Requirements (education, experience, driver's license) - Qualifications (physical abilities, lifting, etc.) - Skills (technical and soft skills) - Benefits (competitive pay, extensive benefits, career development, training, sustainability) - Pay (competitive pay statement) maybe redundant with Benefits; but we can keep Pay as separate with statement "competitive pay". However Benefits already mentions competitive pay; we might combine. The rule: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we should not create separate Pay section if it's just repeating Benefits. Instead include pay info in Benefits. Similarly Schedule: we have travel % and flexible hours; we can include Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. We must not create Pay section unless posting actually states them; it does state competitive pay, but we can include that in Benefits. So we skip Pay. Now we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. All sections have content. Now format. We'll output:
