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. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also remove exam details? The instructions: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we need to strip out application instructions (Submit NEOGOV..., etc). Also remove exam components? Not sure if exam components are considered application instructions? They are part of recruitment process; maybe they are not boilerplate but substantive info about selection. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep exam details as they are substantive. However they might be considered part of "application process"? The instruction says remove application instructions. Exam components could be considered part of selection process, not strictly application instructions. Might keep them. We need to decide sections. We have description: "Only current City of Oxnard Fire Department employees that meet the qualifications for the position of Fire Engineer are eligible for this promotional opportunity** Under the general supervision of a Company Officer, respond to fire suppression and/or other emergencies by driving and operating fire apparatus and rescue equipment; is responsible for the operational readiness of all company fire apparatus and equipment; performs inspection and code enforcement assignments for fire prevention; and participates in fire and life safety educational programs." That's about the role. Then "Distinguishing Characteristics Fire Engineer is a journey level position responsible for independently performing the full scope of assigned duties including driving, operating, inspecting and maintaining fire apparatus and equipment. Fire Engineers may also provide training for lower level personnel, and must be able to exercise judgment and initiative. This position is distinguished from the lower classification of Firefighter by the specialized and complex work performed and higher degree of complex decision making in the absence of supervision." That's also about role. "Supervision Received/Exercised Supervision of a Fire Engineer is provided by a Company Officer. Oxnard Fire Department Engineers do not routinely exercise supervision." That's about supervision. "Essential Functions (Duties may include, but are not limited to, the following):" then list of duties. That's responsibilities. "Minimum Qualifications (The following are minimum qualifications necessary for entry into the classification) Education/Experience ..." then list. That's qualifications. "License/Certificates ..." list. That's also qualifications. "Engine/Pump Certification ..." etc. That's also qualifications. "General Information Supplemental Information Exam The exam process will consist of four exam components outlined below. Candidates must receive a passing score on the Written Exam to proceed to the next exam component. The names of candidates passing all components of the exam process will be certified to an eligibility list.

That's exam info and union membership. Then "Application Process Submit NEOGOV/Goverment Jobs online application. Complete and submit responses to the supplemental questions, if required. Upload resume, cover letter, proof of degree (transcript), and /or other requested documents. Your application may be rejected as incomplete if you do not include the relevant information in the online application and include the information only on the resume. Applications and/or Supplemental Questionnaires that state "see my resume" or "see my personnel file" are considered incomplete and will not be accepted. Cover letters and/or optional resumes are not accepted in lieu of a completed application." That's application instructions, should be removed. Then "Note The salary shown on this job bulletin is reflective of the Fire Department shift work schedule. The work schedule of this position may vary depending on assignment. This position requires a twelve (12) month probationary period. For most positions, the City of Oxnard relies on office automation (Microsoft Office) and web-based enabled tools, therefore candidates must be proficient and comfortable with computer use to perform functions associated with on-going work. Regular and reliable attendance, effective communication skills, and development of effective working relationships are requirements of all positions. City staff may be required to play an active role in the event of an emergency, which may include changes in responsibilities and working hours. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 3100, all public employees are required to serve as disaster service workers subject to such disaster service activities as may be assigned to them. Should a high number of qualified candidates apply, we reserve the right to conduct a comparative screening to determine which applicants will be invited to continue in the recruitment and selection process." That's note about schedule, probation, computer proficiency, etc. Some of that could be schedule or requirements. Then "EQUAL OPPORTUNITY: ..." boilerplate, remove. "REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION: ..." boilerplate, remove. "LEGAL REQUIREMENT: ..." boilerplate, remove. "Employers can only use E-Verify ..." boilerplate, remove. "If you have any questions regarding this recruitment please contact Annette Adams at annette.adams@oxnard.org." That's contact info, maybe keep? It's not boilerplate but could be considered application instruction? Might keep as minor metadata? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." Contact info could be minor metadata; we could fold into a short p. Then "NOTE: The provisions of this bulletin do not constitute an expressed or implied contract. Any provision contained in this bulletin may be modified or revoked without notice." That's legal boilerplate, remove. Then "Retirement Contributions Upon retirement, for "safety" employees, the City's contract with CalPERS offers a defined benefit plan based on a formula of 3% at age 50 for "classic" members and 2.7% at age 57 for "new members". Upon retirement for "miscellaneous" employees, the City's contract with CalPERS offers a defined benefit plan based on the formula of 2.0% at age 55 for "classic" members and 2.0% at age 62 for "new members". The employee will be required to pay a portion of their annual earnings toward their retirement as required. The City of Oxnard does not participate in social security. Annual Accrual Rates Full time shift employees accrue annual leave at a rate of 13.41 – 17.71 hours per pay period based on years of service and non-shift employees accrue annual leave at a rate of 6.04 – 9.12 hours per pay period based on years of service.

Bilingual Pay A regular full time employee may receive bilingual pay at the rate of $50.00-$125.00 bi-weekly depending on the Level the employee is required to provide bilingual services as determined by the City Manager or designee. Health And Dental Employees can choose from a variety of medical plans provided by the City. The City's contribution to medical coverage is outlined below: Level One – For employees hired before January 1, 2023, the City contributes $1,543.00 per month toward medical insurance premiums and an additional $66.79 per month toward dental insurance premiums. Employees will receive cash back if the medical plan they choose is less than the City’s monthly contribution of $1,543.00 per month. Employees who waive medical insurance will receive cash back in the amount $1,243.00 per month provided they provide proof of other qualifying coverage. Any unused dental premium monies are paid to the employee. If employees hired prior to January 1, 2023 make any changes to their health plan, they will be placed in level two.

The City will continue to provide $66.79 per month towards dental insurance. Life Insurance City employees receive Basic Life and have the option to purchase additional insurance coverage. Tuition Reimbursement Full-time employees are eligible for 50% reimbursement of the costs o" That's benefits info (retirement, accrual, deferred comp, bilingual pay, health/dental, life insurance, tuition reimbursement). So we need Benefits section. Pay: Not explicitly given. The note says "The salary shown on this job bulletin is reflective of the Fire Department shift work schedule." But no actual salary figure. So we should not create Pay section because no specific pay info. So omit Pay. Schedule: The note mentions work schedule may vary depending on assignment, shift work schedule. Also "The work schedule of this position may vary depending on assignment." That's schedule info. Could create Schedule section with that detail. Also "This position requires a twelve (12) month probationary period." Could be part of Requirements or maybe Benefits? Probably Requirements (employment condition). Could be in Requirements. Also "For most positions, the City of Oxnard relies on office automation (Microsoft Office) and web-based enabled tools, therefore candidates must be proficient and comfortable with computer use to perform functions associated with on-going work." That's a skill/requirement. "Regular and reliable attendance, effective communication skills, and development of effective working relationships are requirements of all positions." That's also requirement. "City staff may be required to play an active role in the event of an emergency, which may include changes in responsibilities and working hours." That's maybe schedule or requirement. "Should a high number of qualified candidates apply, we reserve the right to conduct a comparative screening to determine which applicants will be invited to continue in the recruitment and selection process." That's process, maybe not needed. We need to decide sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. We must not create empty sections. Let's extract content. About the role: Could combine the initial description and distinguishing characteristics and supervision. Responsibilities: Essential Functions list. Requirements: Minimum qualifications? Actually qualifications separate. Requirements could be things like probation period, computer proficiency, attendance, communication skills, emergency role, etc. But we also have Qualifications section for education/experience/licenses. Skills: Could be computer proficiency, communication skills, etc. Benefits: Retirement, accrual, deferred comp, bilingual pay, health/dental, life insurance, tuition reimbursement. Schedule: Work schedule may vary depending on assignment, shift work schedule, 12-month probationary period? Probation maybe not schedule but could be included in Requirements. Let's decide: - About the role: includes eligibility (only current employees), general supervision, duties overview. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions list (driving, operating, inspection, training, etc.) - Qualifications: Education/Experience, License/Certificates,
