We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have job description: Title Groundperson, description includes responsibilities, essential functions, minimum qualifications, education & experience, pre-screen, license & certifications, physical requirements, safety, etc. Pay: "$19.07 to $23.15 per hour." Benefits: "Available Benefit options vary based on tenure, position, and work location." That's vague; we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It says "Available Benefit options vary based on tenure, position, and work location." That's not specific; it's placeholder. According to rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits exist but not specifics. It's vague; likely we should not include Benefits section because it's not substantive. Pay: we have specific range, so include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned; no schedule info. So omit Schedule. We need sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications (Education & Experience). Skills (maybe license & certifications, physical requirements, safety). But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's decide: Use About the role (summary paragraph). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (minimum qualifications: age, union willingness). Qualifications (education & experience, license). Skills (physical requirements, safety). Could also combine. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for each section. We must use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting, but we can format them. Let's extract details: Job Title: Groundperson (not heading) Description paragraph: "The Groundperson is responsible for gathering and feeding brush & debris into a woodchipper, scanning areas for trip and fall hazards, and ensuring other workers stay out of the path of travel. This position is also responsible for maintaining equipment and materials." Job Type: Full-Time +, Non-Exempt (maybe include in About the role? Could be metadata; we can put in a short

    maybe.) Pay: $19.07 to $23.15 per hour. Benefits: Available Benefit options vary based on tenure, position, and work location. (We'll skip Benefits section as not substantive.) Essential Functions & Responsibilities: - Operate chainsaw to cut brush, logs, and stumps of larger trees. - Drag, gather, and feed brush into wood chipper. - Services vehicles and equipment, maintaining them in neat, clean, and specified mechanical order. Minimum Qualifications: - Must be 18 years of age or older. - Must be willing to join the local union and pay union dues. Education & Experience: - High School Diploma or equivalent preferred. - Entry-level position, no experience required. - Previous experience is a plus. Pre-Screen: - Upon offer, employees may be required to subject and pass a pre-employment drug screen, background, and/or MVR check. License & Certifications: - A valid Driver's license is required. Physical Requirements: (list categories with percentages) We need to preserve all detail. Could present as a

      with items describing each category. Physical Requirements text: "RARE(less than 10%): Sitting, Crawling, Climbing Poles, Color Vision, Climbing Ladders, Climbing Stairs OCCASIONAL(up to 33%): stooping, kneeling squatting, body twisting, sense of touch, climbing on/off truck, gripping, lifting over 10 lbs. to 50 lbs., reaching, lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, climbing ladders, balancing, lifting over 50 lbs. FREQUENT(up to 66%): standing, walking, manual dexterity, seeing distant, seeing, reading, range of motion, hearing-speech range, depth perception, climbing stairs, lifting up to 10 lbs. CONTINUOUS(up to 100%): Sense of Touch, Gripping, Seeing, Carrying, Pulling" We can format as list items. Safety paragraph: long. We also have other paragraphs: Works around hazardous equipment, etc., ADA contact, e-Verify, Equal Opportunity Employer, Important Information for Applicants (duplicate EEO), etc. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the ADA contact lines? Those are not boilerplate? They are accommodation contact; might be considered relevant? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The ADA contact lines are about accommodation; they might be considered part of EEO? Not sure. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The ADA contact lines are not exactly EEO but could be considered legal. Might be safer to keep them? They are not duplicated. They provide contact for accommodation. Might be considered relevant. However, the instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The ADA contact is not exactly EEO but related to accommodation. I'd keep it as part of Safety or a separate note? Might be considered legal. I'd keep it but maybe it's okay. Also "We partner with the Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Customs and Immigration Service to e-Verify all newly hired employees." That's legal but maybe keep. "An Equal Opportunity Employer." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. "Important Information for Applicants: Asplundh Tree Expert, LLC and its family of companies are Equal Opportunity Employers. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to any legally protected characteristic. If you require reasonable accommodation during the application or hiring process, please contact our ADA Coordinator at 1-800-248-8733, ext. 3656. Employment offers are contingent upon successful completion of applicable pre-employment requirements, which include background screening, drug testing, and employment eligibility verification. Compensation determination is based on market data, job scope and individual qualifications. We offer a competitive total rewards package inclusive of health and welfare and retirement benefits, as well as paid time off and holiday pay benefits. Unsolicited resumes without an executed agency agreement become the property of the company." We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statements, duplicated lines. The ADA contact appears twice (once earlier, once later). We should keep one maybe. The later part includes more details about contingent offers, compensation determination, total rewards package, unsolicited resumes. Some of that is substantive? "Compensation determination is based on market data, job scope and individual qualifications." That's generic. "We offer a competitive total rewards package inclusive of health and welfare and retirement benefits, as well as paid time off and holiday pay benefits." That's vague benefits; we already decided not to include Benefits section. "Unsolicited resumes without an executed agency agreement become the property of the company." That's legal boilerplate; remove. Thus we keep: pre-employment requirements (background screening, drug testing, employment eligibility verification) maybe as part of Pre-Screen? Already have pre-screen drug screen, background, MVR check. The later mentions background screening, drug testing, employment eligibility verification. Could be duplicate; we can keep one. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the details about pre-employment requirements (drug screen, background, MVR check) and also mention that employment offers contingent upon successful completion of applicable pre-employment requirements (background screening, drug testing, employment eligibility verification). That's somewhat duplicate but we can combine. We also need to keep the safety paragraph details. Now structure:

      About the role

      ... (include job type, brief description)

      Responsibilities

      • ... list

      Requirements

      • ... minimum qualifications

      Qualifications

      • ... education & experience, license

      Skills

      Maybe combine physical requirements and safety into Skills? Or we could have a section "Physical Requirements & Safety". But we need headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Skills for physical requirements and safety. Pay separate. Thus:

      Pay

      $19.07 to $23.15 per hour.

      We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Now craft content. About the role paragraph: combine description and job type. "The Groundperson is responsible for gathering and feeding brush & debris into a woodchipper, scanning areas for trip and fall hazards, and ensuring other workers stay out of the path of travel. This position is also responsible for maintaining equipment and materials. Job Type: Full-Time +, Non-Exempt." That's fine.
