Fire Protection Engineering Intern

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have Company Description, Job Description, Qualifications, Additional Information, maybe Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Must only include sections with real specific content.
We need to parse the posting:
- Company Description: description of company, can be considered "About the role"? Actually "Company Description" is about the company, not role. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map sections accordingly.
We have:
- Company Description: could be "About the role"? Not exactly. Could be "About the company"? Not in list. But we can still use a heading like "About the role"? The instruction says use those headings as examples, but we can use other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map sections accordingly.
We have:
- Company Description: could be "About the role"? Not exactly. Could be "About the company"? Not in list. But we can still use a heading like "About the role"? The instruction says use those headings as examples, but we can use other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect we use those headings when appropriate. If we have company description, maybe we can put under "About the role"? But that seems odd. However we could treat company description as "About the role" (the role at the company). Or we could omit company description? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can put it under a heading "About the role" as a brief description of the role and company.
Job Description: includes description of role, responsibilities? It says "We are seeking a dynamic... to join our team as a Fire Protection Engineering Intern". That's more about role. Could be under "Responsibilities"? Not exactly. There's no explicit responsibilities list. Could be under "About the role". Might combine.
Qualifications: we have list.
Additional Information: includes benefits, pay, schedule, etc.
We need to extract Pay: "The expected hourly pay rate is $22 - $26." So we need a Pay section with that.
Schedule: "Ability to work up to 40 hours per week during the summer break. Flexibility for school schedule/demands will be provided". So schedule info.
Benefits: Additional Information mentions "We offer an excellent salary/benefits package", "Coffman offers comprehensive benefits, including a flexible PTO program and family-friendly policies." Also "See more about benefits at www.coffman.com/careers." So we have benefits info.
Thus we can have sections: About the role (maybe combine company description and job description), Responsibilities (maybe not explicit), Requirements (maybe qualifications), Qualifications (maybe same as requirements), Skills (maybe communication skills etc), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, navigation, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information: company description, job description, qualifications, additional information (benefits, pay, schedule), etc.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not create sections with filler/placeholder text.
Thus we need to decide which headings to use.
Potential sections:
- About the role: could contain company description + job description overview.
- Responsibilities: maybe we don't have explicit list; but we could infer from job description: "join our team as a Fire Protection Engineering Intern", "interest in fire protection engineering", "ability to work up to 40 hours per week", etc. But those are more qualifications/schedule. Might be better to not create Responsibilities if no specific duties listed. The instruction: "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 don't have specific responsibilities, we should not include Responsibilities heading.
- Requirements: could be qualifications list.
- Qualifications: maybe same as requirements; but we could combine. However we have both "Qualifications" heading in the posting. So we should keep that as a section.
- Skills: we have "Exceptional written and verbal communication skills", "Detail orientated and organized". Could be under Skills.
- Benefits: we have benefits info.
- Pay: we have pay rate.
- Schedule: we have schedule info.
Thus we will output sections: About the role, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract content:

Pay: "The expected hourly pay rate is $22 - $26."
Schedule: Already included in qualifications: "Ability to work up to 40 hours per week during the summer break. Flexibility for school schedule/demands will be provided". We'll put schedule section.
Now we need to avoid duplication: The qualifications list includes ability to work up to 40 hours etc. We'll still keep that in Qualifications? But we also have schedule section. Might duplicate. Better to keep schedule info only in Schedule section, and remove from Qualifications to avoid duplication. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can move it to Schedule section and not duplicate. That's fine.
Similarly, reliable transportation etc is a qualification; we keep in Qualifications.
Also "This position is not eligible for sponsorship." and "No paid interview travel or relocation expenses are offered for this position." are also qualifications/notes; we can keep in Qualifications.
Now Benefits: we have "We offer an excellent salary/benefits package", "Coffman offers comprehensive benefits, including a flexible PTO program and family-friendly policies.", "See more about benefits at www.coffman.com/careers." Also "Coffman has been named one of the 2025 Best Places to Work by the Denver Business Journal." etc. That's more about company accolades; could be part of About the role or Benefits. We'll include in Benefits.
Now About the role: combine Company Description and Job Description (the paragraph about seeking candidate). We'll produce a concise paragraph preserving all info.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't have heading "Fire Protection Engineering Intern". Good.
Now produce HTML:

Skills
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; detail‑oriented and organized.
But we already have communication skills in qualifications; maybe we should not duplicate. However Skills section could highlight those skills. But we already have them in qualifications; duplication may be okay but we risk repeating. Better to keep Skills separate and not duplicate the same bullet. We could move communication skills and detail oriented to Skills, and remove from Qualifications. But then we lose those qualifications from Qualifications list. However we could keep them in both places? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; duplication is not prohibited but might be considered redundant. It didn't forbid duplication. It said do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay as long as we preserve. However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Duplication may create thin sections. Better to avoid duplication. Thus we could put communication skills and detail oriented under Skills, and not list them under Qualifications. Then Qualifications list will have enrollment, two years courses, interest in fire protection, reliable transportation, sponsorship note, no paid interview travel/relocation. But we also need to keep "Exceptional written and verbal communication skills" and "Detail orientated and organized" somewhere; we put them in Skills. Now Benefits section: we need to include all benefits info. Let's craft Benefits paragraph: "Coffman Engineers focuses on its employees, supporting individually tailored professional and technical advancement and personal growth. They offer an excellent salary/benefits package, a desirable location, and
