Fire Protection Engineer
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content for: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (conditions of employment), Qualifications (degree, combination, etc.), maybe Skills (not explicit), Benefits (Leave Enhancement mention), Pay (not specified), Schedule (not specified). We should not create Pay or Schedule sections if not specified. Benefits: there is mention of Leave Enhancement. That's a benefit. So we can include Benefits section with that detail.
We also have "Additional Information" includes other info like background investigation, probationary period, financial disclosure, etc. That could be part of "Additional Information" but not in allowed headings. Could fold into "About the role" or maybe "Requirements"? Probably better to include as a separate section? Not in allowed list; but we could incorporate into "About the role" or "Qualifications"? The instruction says use those headings as examples; not strictly limited? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely we should stick to those. So we can put additional info under "About the role" or maybe "Requirements". But we have separate sections for Requirements (conditions of employment) and Qualifications (education/experience). Additional info like background investigation, probationary period, financial disclosure could be placed under "About the role" as extra details. However we should preserve all substantive information. We'll include them in a
under About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. The posting includes a lot of eligibility categories (public, veterans, etc.) That's part of "Who may apply" but not needed? It's substantive? It's about eligibility. Could be part of "About the role" or maybe "Requirements"? It's about citizenship etc. Could be under Requirements (conditions of employment) as part of eligibility. We'll include that. We need to preserve all substantive information: duties, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. Let's extract: Summary: This position resides within the Center Ops Division.

Requirements: Conditions of employment: US Citizenship required; Selective Service Registration required for males born after 12/31/1959; position has a positive education requirement; transcript(s) required. Qualifications: Degree: Engineering with specifics; OR combination of education and experience with details; also need at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to FV-I, FG/GS-13 (preparing engineering designs for fire detection and fire suppression systems, etc.) Education: need to submit transcripts. Additional Information: We may use this vacancy to fill other similar vacant positions. Position may be subject to a background investigation. A one-year probationary period may be required. The person selected for this position may be required to file a financial disclosure statement within 30 days of entry on duty. FAA policy limits certain outside employment and financial investments in aviation-related companies. Leave Enhancement: FAA organizations may offer enhanced annual leave accrual to newly appointed or reappointed employees. In order to receive consideration for such a benefit, applicants' prior non-Federal service or active duty uniformed service must directly relate to the duties of the position to which appointed. Granting enhanced annual leave is at the sole discretion of the hiring organization, and granting such benefit is not an entitlement nor guaranteed to any newly hired employee. Applications will be accepted from any U.S. citizen. On-the-Spot will be used to fill this position. The 'Rule of Three', Veterans Preference and traditional rating and ranking of applicants does not apply to this vacancy. As a part of the Federal-Wide Hiring Reform Initiative (streamlining the hiring process), the FAA is committed to eliminating the use of the Knowledge, Skills and Ability (KSA) narratives from the initial application in the hiring process for all announcements. Therefore, as an applicant for this announcement, you are NOT required to provide a narr (cut off). We should include Leave Enhancement under Benefits. We should not include application instructions (like On-the-Spot etc.)? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop lines about On-the-Spot, Rule of Three, etc. Also remove the KSA narrative note. Also remove the "Learn more about this agency" maybe? It's not substantive? It's a link. Probably drop. We need to preserve all substantive information; but we can drop boilerplate like application instructions. The "On-the-Spot will be used to fill this position." is application instruction; drop. The Rule of Three etc. also application instruction; drop. The KSA narrative note also application instruction; drop. The "Applications will be accepted from any U.S. citizen." is eligibility; keep? It's basically same as earlier. Might be redundant but we can keep as part of eligibility. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

The person selected for this position may be required to file a financial disclosure statement within 30 days of entry on duty. FAA policy limits certain outside employment and financial investments in aviation-related companies." This is additional info; could be placed under About the role or Requirements?
