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. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the job description. Content: - Intro: Intertek ... seeking a Field Technician ... location Kansas City, Kansas. This is a fantastic opportunity to grow a versatile career in the A/E/C industry. Professional Service Industries, Inc. (Intertek-PSI) is a leading US based provider of construction assurance, testing and inspection in civil and commercial construction. Our broad service offering includes construction materials testing, geotechnical services, environmental engineering, industrial hygiene, and specialty testing. - "What are we looking for?" paragraph: The Field Technician is responsible for performing a variety of testing, project specific observations and site assessment duties under general supervision and/or from detailed controlled procedures. - "In addition to competitive compensation packages, when working with Intertek you can expect benefits including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, 401(k) with company match, generous vacation / sick time (PTO), tuition reimbursement and more." - "What you’ll do:" bullet list (actually sentences): - Operate testing equipment and conduct testing (example: Soil, concrete or other) and provide assessment of data through reporting - Utilize drawings, specifications, and diagrams - Use specific methods and perform tasks to make detailed observations of site activities and give limited interpretation of results - Maintain detailed documentation and data from test results - This position outline is a general guideline and does not represent all encompassing details. - The position assumes that the incumbent has both the mental and physical requirements to carry out the above defined duties. - "Minimum Requirements & Qualifications:" list: - 1+ year experience in construction industry - Ability to lift, move, push and pull 50 to 75 pounds frequently; Occasionally, over 100 pounds with assistance - Ability to receive detailed information through oral communication, (hearing) and to make the discriminations in sound - Ability to kneel and squat occasionally and be able to walk/stand for long periods of time - Ability to work outdoors in adverse weather conditions, including hot and cold temperatures - Ability to climb occasionally, and work at various heights - Ability to work over night hours and off shift - Must be able to work off shift and overtime as needed - Valid driver’s license and reliable driving record - "Preferred Requirements & Qualifications:" list: - High School Diploma or equivalent - Some Construction Materials Testing experience - ACI certification or other construction related certifications - Then there is a block about Intertek: Total Quality. Assured. etc. This is boilerplate about company, maybe we can include as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be the intro describing role and company. We need to decide sections. We have content for: - About the role: could include description of Intertek, the team, opportunity, etc. The posting includes: "Intertek, a leading provider... is actively seeking a Field Technician..." plus description of PSI, opportunity, etc. Also "About Us" and "About The Team" sections at bottom. Those are substantive. So we can put them under About the role. - Responsibilities: the "What you’ll do:" list. - Requirements: Minimum Requirements & Qualifications. - Qualifications: Preferred Requirements & Qualifications (maybe separate? Could combine as Requirements and Qualifications). The instruction says use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need separate Requirements and Qualifications sections. Minimum Requirements could go under Requirements, Preferred under Qualifications. - Skills: maybe we can extract skills from responsibilities: operate testing equipment, utilize drawings, use specific methods, maintain documentation, etc. Could also include ability to lift, etc. But those are physical requirements. Might be better to put under Skills: ability to operate testing equipment, interpret data, use drawings, etc. However we must not invent content; we can only include what is present. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" section, but we can derive skills from responsibilities and requirements. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." It says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So if we create a Skills section, we need to have real specific content for it. We could list skills explicitly mentioned: "Operate testing equipment", "Utilize drawings, specifications, and diagrams", "Use specific methods and perform tasks to make detailed observations", "Maintain detailed documentation and data", "Ability to receive detailed information through oral communication (hearing)", "Ability to kneel and squat", etc. Those are indeed skills/abilities. So we can create a Skills section with those items. - Benefits: we have benefits listed: medical, dental, vision, life, disability, 401(k) with company match, generous vacation / sick time (PTO), tuition reimbursement and more. Also "competitive compensation packages". So we can create Benefits section. - Pay: The posting does not give specific pay or salary range. It mentions "competitive compensation packages" but no numbers. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Benefits we have explicit list, so we can include Benefits. For Pay, we only have vague "competitive compensation packages" which is not specific; we should not create Pay section because it's not specific. Similarly Schedule: we have mention of ability to work over night hours and off shift, must be able to work off shift and overtime as needed. That's schedule info but not explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday 8-5". It's still schedule-related but maybe we can include Schedule section if we have specific content. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state schedule expectations: ability to work over night hours and off shift, must be able to work off shift and overtime as needed. That's schedule-related content. So we could include a Schedule section with those points. However we need to see if that's considered "specific content". It is specific about off shift, overnight, overtime. So we can include Schedule. But we must avoid filler like "varies", "TBD". The content is specific enough. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. Possibly also Pay? No. Now we need to format: use

for section headings. 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. We need to strip out the EEO paragraph, the drug-free workplace, the accommodation contact, the unsolicited agencies, etc. Also remove "Intertek: Total Quality. Assured." maybe that's okay as part of About the role? It's somewhat promotional but not boilerplate? It's still company description; we can keep as part of About the role. We need to keep the "About Us" and "About The Team" paragraphs. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Now craft HTML. Structure:
