We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job description. First, we need to remove boilerplate: "This position has been deemed critical by the School of Engineering Dean’s Office and is exempt from the hiring freeze. Note - Visa sponsorship is not available for this position. All candidates must be eligible to work and live in the U.S. Work Arrangement: This position is onsite, working at the Stanford main campus." This is metadata; we can fold into a short

or drop it. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with that info. Then we have "Budgeted Salary: The budgeted base salary range for this position is $123,218 to $141,579 per annum." That's Pay info, we need a Pay section if present. So we will have a Pay section with that content. Then we have description about School of Engineering etc. That's "About the role" or "About the team"? Probably "About the role" or "About the department". We'll use "About the role" heading. Then "We seek a Health and Safety Specialist with experience ..." That's part of role description. Then "This position is within the SoE and interfaces ..." etc. Then "The Health and Safety Specialist is assigned a geographical area ..." etc. Then "Our environment of cutting edge research ensures that you will learn and innovate with each new project." etc. Then "This position will primarily support the Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering, and Civil and Environmental Engineering departments." Then "In This Role You Frequently stand, sit, and perform desk based computer tasks...." That's physical demands; could be part of Responsibilities or maybe "Requirements"? It's more about physical demands; could be part of "Responsibilities" or maybe "Skills"? Probably "Responsibilities" includes duties; physical demands maybe part of "Requirements"? But we can include under "Responsibilities" as bullet list? Actually it's a list of physical activities; we can put under a

    maybe. Then "Preferred Requirements A professional certification (CIH, CSP and/or CHMM) or advanced EH&S-related degree is desirable Experience within the research, biotechnology, energy, or environmental profession is desired" Then "Responsibilities Core Duties:" list bullet points. Then "Minimum Education Bachelor’s degree in arts/science in related allied/scientific field" Then "Minimum Experience Three years progressively responsible experience in occupational safety and health, emergency response/management, environmental science, and/or allied/scientific field, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience." Then "Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Demonstrated ability to conduct effective health and safety surveys, quantitative and qualitative exposure/risk assessments, and data analyses; ability to provide recommendations for exposure/risk control. Ability to effectively communicate orally and in writing with diverse audiences; ability to explain technical concepts clearly and concisely. Ability to maintain current knowledge of and interpret specific government agency requirements (statutes, regulations, licenses, and permits) and university policies. Working knowledge of the scientific and technical aspects of various regulatory requirements and potential impact on assigned work area(s)." Then "Qualifications [REMOVE STATEMENT BEFORE POSTING - KEEP LANGUAGE BELOW, IF APPLICABLE. REMOVE IF NOT APPLICABLE] Drivers License Requirements Must possess and maintain a valid California non-commercial Class C Driver's License. Ability to drive day and night. When conducting university business, must comply with the California Vehicle Code and Stanford University driving requirements." We need to remove the placeholder line about Qualifications. So we keep the Drivers License Requirements. Now we need to decide sections. Potential sections: - About the role (or About the team) – includes description of SoE, mission, role overview. - Responsibilities – includes core duties list (bullet points) and maybe also the physical demands? Physical demands could be under "Requirements" or "Skills"? But we can include under "Responsibilities" as bullet list of physical demands? However the instruction: "Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So we can have a list for duties, and a list for requirements (education, experience, certifications). Physical demands maybe not a duty but a requirement; but we can treat as part of "Requirements" as a list. - Requirements – includes Minimum Education, Minimum Experience, Preferred Requirements (certifications, experience), Drivers License Requirements, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (maybe as Skills). Actually Knowledge, Skills And Abilities could be a separate "Skills" section. - Skills – could be the Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list. - Pay – includes salary range. - Benefits – not mentioned; we should not create Benefits section if not present. - Schedule – not mentioned; we should not create. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Pay. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Now we need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

      This position has been deemed critical by the School of Engineering Dean’s Office and is exempt from the hiring freeze. Note - Visa sponsorship is not available for this position. All candidates must be eligible to work and live in the U.S. Work Arrangement: This position is onsite, working at the Stanford main campus.
