We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions (like "Please make sure that you provide sufficient information..." etc). Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract sections:
- Introduction: description of MDE mission, encouraging apply. This could be "About the role" or maybe "About the agency". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map content accordingly.
We have:
- "Performance Based Opportunity" about promotion eligibility, progressive grade levels with salary ranges. That's Pay info. Also includes grade levels and salary ranges. So we can put Pay section.
- "Main Purpose of Job": description of duties. That's Responsibilities.
- "This Position May Involve The Following Working Conditions": details about working conditions, physical demands, protective equipment, driving requirements. Could be part of Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like Working Conditions but not in allowed headings. Could fold into Responsibilities.
- Minimum Qualifications: experience, substitution notes. That's Requirements/Qualifications.
- Desired Or Preferred Qualifications: list of preferred qualifications. That's Skills or Qualifications.
- Licenses, Registrations and Certifications: driver's license requirement. Could be Requirements.
- Benefits: described later: "Benefits The State of Maryland offers a generous benefits package that includes: Flexible work schedules and telework opportunities for many positions Free mass transit in Baltimore & Annapolis Generous paid leave that increases with years of service Paid holidays Health coverage with low out-of-pocket costs Employee & employer contributory pension plan". That's Benefits.
- Also earlier mention: "MDE offers competitive pay, great benefits, opportunities to telework, as well as opportunities for advancement and professional growth – MDE offers you a wide range of benefits such as medical and dental coverage, paid time off (i.e., vacation, sick leave), state pension, and supplemental retirement options (i.e., 401k, 457b, etc.). MDE headquarters facility offers free parking, a food court, and a gym." That's also benefits and pay info. But we already have Pay section with salary ranges; we can also include benefits from that paragraph.
We need to avoid duplication. We'll combine benefits info.
We must not include application instructions, selection process, further instructions, EEO statements, etc.
We must not include "Performance Based Opportunity" as a heading; we can incorporate into Pay.
We must not include "LOCATION OF POSITION" maybe as part of Responsibilities? Could be a short paragraph about location but not required heading. Could be included in a short p under Responsibilities or maybe as a separate section? Not in allowed headings; we could fold into Responsibilities as a sentence.
We must not include "GRADE STD0014" maybe metadata; drop.
We must not include "Main Purpose of Job" heading; we will use Responsibilities
.
We must not include "This Position May Involve The Following Working Conditions" heading; we can include under Responsibilities.
We must not include "Minimum Qualifications" heading; we can use Requirements
or Qualifications
. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we have both Requirements and Qualifications; maybe Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for preferred? But we can decide.
We have Minimum Qualifications (mandatory) and Desired Or Preferred Qualifications (preferred). Also Licenses etc.
Thus we can have:
Requirements
for mandatory qualifications (experience, substitution notes, license).
Qualifications
for preferred qualifications (Bachelor's degree in specific fields, skills, etc.)
Or we could swap. But we need to follow instruction: use headings exactly as given; we can choose which to include. We'll include both Requirements and Qualifications.
We also need About the role: maybe a brief summary of the role and agency mission.
We have Introduction paragraph about MDE mission and encouraging apply. That fits About the role.
We also have "Performance Based Opportunity" about promotion and salary ranges; that's Pay.
We have Benefits section.
We have no explicit Schedule info (like work schedule). There's mention of flexible work schedules and telework opportunities in benefits; but schedule not specified. We should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It mentions flexible work schedules and telework opportunities, but not specific schedule. Could we include Schedule? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state flexible work schedules and telework opportunities, which is about schedule. So we could include Schedule section with that info. However we also have benefits section that includes flexible work schedules and telework opportunities. Might be duplication. Better to put schedule info under Benefits? But schedule is separate heading allowed. Since they mention flexible work schedules and telework opportunities, we can include Schedule section with that detail. Benefits section can include other benefits: health coverage, paid leave, pension, etc.
Thus we will have sections:
- About the role (introduction)
- Responsibilities (main purpose + working conditions)
- Requirements (minimum qualifications + license)
- Qualifications (desired/preferred)
- Skills (maybe we can include computer skills etc under Qualifications; but we have Skills heading allowed. Could separate skills from qualifications. But we already have Qualifications for preferred qualifications; we could put skills under Skills. However the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have both Qualifications and Skills. We need to decide where to put content.
We have desired qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Biology, Environmental Science, Health Science or Physics; Strong written and oral communication skills; Strong computer skills with proficiency in Microsoft Office Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; Experience generating database reports; Detailed oriented with strong organizations skills and ability to prioritize tasks; Willingness to work as a team member; Experience providing service to customers in a professional setting which must have included personal interaction with members of the general public or other customers.
We can split: Qualifications could be education (Bachelor's degree in specific fields) and Skills could be communication, computer, etc. Or we could put all under Qualifications and leave Skills empty (but we must not emit heading with filler). So we need to allocate content to Skills heading if we include it.
Thus we can have:
Qualifications
for education preference (Bachelor's degree in Biology, Environmental Science, Health Science or Physics)
Skills
for communication, computer skills, database reporting, organization, teamwork, customer service.
That seems reasonable.
Now Requirements: mandatory experience (4 years experience in recognition, evaluation and control of radiological hazards); substitution notes (Bachelor's degree with 30 credit hours in math/physical/biological sciences; military service as commissioned officer in Health and Medical Physicist classifications etc); license requirement (valid Maryland driver's license, max 5 points). Also maybe mention "Employees in this classification may be assigned duties which require the operation of a motor vehicle. Employees assigned such duties will be required to possess a motor vehicle operator’s license valid in the State of Maryland." That's license.
Now Responsibilities: main purpose: receive training to support inspections, investigations, regulatory activities; processing registrations, preventive maintenance, certifications; participate in monthly staff meetings; respond to radiation emergencies; working conditions: exposure to uncomfortable/unpleasant surroundings, hazardous conditions, physical demands (lifting 20+ lbs, climbing ladders), protective equipment, may need to drive state vehicle, driver's license requirement (already in Requirements but we can mention again but avoid duplication). We'll keep it concise.
Pay: Performance Based Opportunity: eligibility for annual promotion; progressive grade levels: Health Physicist I – Grade 15 $63,154 - $99,603; Health Physicist II – Grade 16 ($67,309- $106,155). Also earlier mention: "MDE offers competitive pay, great benefits, opportunities to telework, as well as opportunities for advancement and professional growth – MDE offers you a wide range of benefits such as medical and dental coverage, paid time off (i.e., vacation, sick leave), state pension, and supplemental retirement options (i.e., 401k, 457b, etc.). MDE headquarters facility offers free parking, a food court, and a gym." Some of that is benefits; we already have benefits section. Pay section can include the salary ranges and mention competitive pay, advancement opportunities.
Benefits: list from benefits paragraph: Flexible work schedules and telework opportunities for many positions (but we might move to Schedule), Free mass transit in Baltimore & Annapolis, Generous paid leave that increases with years of service, Paid holidays, Health coverage with low out-of-pocket costs, Employee & employer contributory pension plan. Also earlier: medical and dental coverage, paid time off (vacation, sick leave), state pension, supplemental retirement options (401k, 457b), free parking, food court, gym. We'll combine.
Schedule: flexible work schedules and telework opportunities.
We must avoid duplication: if we put flexible work schedules under Schedule, we should not repeat under Benefits. We'll keep Schedule with that detail, and Benefits without that line.

- Agency mission description (MDE charged with protecting air, water, land; mission to protect/restore environment; vision of healthy communities; encouraging apply).
