Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Keep substantive info. Let's parse the posting: - Intro: "The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is recruiting for a Heavy Equipment and Vehicle Technician in Wolf Point! This position assists with the maintenance and repair of machinery and mechanical equipment, such as automobiles, light and heavy duty trucks, as well as construction equipment (diesel, gasoline, hybrid, or propane), adjusts, diagnoses, and replaces nonfunctional parts of devices and control instruments, replaces worn or defective parts, repairs and replaces tires on vehicles and equipment, lubricates and cleans parts, performs some minor repairs without supervision." That's description of role/responsibilities. - "For a full job description, please contact Jordan Ulrich at julrich@mt.gov." That's contact info; maybe we can include as a short paragraph? Not a heading. It's not boilerplate but it's contact. Could be included under About the role? Might be considered minor metadata; but we can include as a paragraph. - Benefits: list: "Benefits of working for MDT and the State of Montana include: Culture of public service and a commitment to work/life balance Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance Access to Montana Health Centers, low-cost clinics for state employees and their families State Retirement plan and additional savings opportunities (deferred compensation) Employees in this position receive overtime compensation or compensatory time for all time in a pay status over 40 hours in a workweek Paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays Eligibility for Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness Benefits apply on first day of employment" - Then: "For information on the Montana Department of Transportation’s mission, vision, and values, please visit our website: https://www.mdt.mt.gov/about.aspx#values" That's a link; could be included maybe under About the role? Not necessary but could be a paragraph. - Required Application Materials: "Your online application and all required materials must be submitted before midnight on the closing date. Ensure all materials submitted are selected as “Relevant.” If you need an accommodation with the application process, please contact the HR representative listed below." That's application instructions; we must remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we drop that. - Required Education And Experience: details: "One (1) years’ experience as: a lubrication technician, light duty tire technician, or mechanic’s assistant.Formal light or heavy-duty technical training and/or certification(s) will also be considered. Basic computer knowledge and function. Requires working knowledge of basic record keeping.AND a valid Montana Commercial Operators License (Class A, Type II) with no restrictions and a valid Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC) is required. Forklift certification must be obtained within 3 months after hire.Applicants with a learner’s permit have 30 days to obtain the necessary Montana Commercial Operators License. This agency may use a training assignment. Employees in training assignments may be paid below the base pay established by the agency pay rules. Conditions of the training assignment will be stated in writing at the time of hire." - Other Information: "Top candidates will be invited to participate in a written, practical test, and behavioral-based interview prior to final selection. Driver’s record will be verified. Successful applicants will be required to sign a release form which authorizes the Department to obtain the applicant’s permanent driving records. Compliance with Mont. Admin. R. 2.6.201, "State Vehicle Use," and MDT Policy #6.03.001, "State Vehicle Use Policy" are conditions of employment. This position is being posted in accordance with the AFSCME bargaining unit agreement. Non-bargaining unit employees or employees of another bargaining unit may apply. If the position is not filled with a bargaining unit applicant, the non-bargaining unit applicants may be considered. However, bargaining unit applicants will have preference." - Then EEO boilerplate etc: we must remove. - Also mention proof of eligibility to work, E-Verify etc: that's legal boilerplate; remove. Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe a paragraph summarizing role), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe education/experience), Qualifications (maybe licenses/certifications), Skills (maybe basic computer knowledge, record keeping), Benefits (list), Pay (none specific), Schedule (none specific). Since Pay and Schedule not stated, we should not include those sections. We need to decide which headings to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. Possibly also "Other Information" but not a standard heading; we could incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics: e.g., list of equipment types, duties, etc. Let's extract substantive content: About the role: maybe a short paragraph: "The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is recruiting for a Heavy Equipment and Vehicle Technician in Wolf Point. This position assists with the maintenance and repair of machinery and mechanical equipment, such as automobiles, light and heavy duty trucks, as well as construction equipment (diesel, gasoline, hybrid, or propane), adjusts, diagnoses, and replaces nonfunctional parts of devices and control instruments, replaces worn or defective parts, repairs and replaces tires on vehicles and equipment, lubricates and cleans parts, performs some minor repairs without supervision." Also maybe include contact for full job description? Could be a paragraph: "For a full job description, please contact Jordan Ulrich at julrich@mt.gov." And maybe mission link? Could be included but it's not essential; but it's substantive? It's a link to mission vision values; could be included as a paragraph under About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties from the description: maintain and repair machinery and mechanical equipment (automobiles, light and heavy duty trucks, construction equipment diesel/gasoline/hybrid/propane); adjust, diagnose, replace nonfunctional parts of devices and control instruments; replace worn or defective parts; repair and replace tires on vehicles and equipment; lubricate and clean parts; perform some minor repairs without supervision. Requirements: education/experience: "One (1) years’ experience as: a lubrication technician, light duty tire technician, or mechanic’s assistant. Formal light or heavy-duty technical training and/or certification(s) will also be considered. Basic computer knowledge and function. Requires working knowledge of basic record keeping." Qualifications: licenses/certifications: "Valid Montana Commercial Operators License (Class A, Type II) with no restrictions and a valid Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC) is required. Forklift certification must be obtained within 3 months after hire. Applicants with a learner’s permit have 30 days to obtain the necessary Montana Commercial Operators License." Skills: maybe "Basic computer knowledge and function; working knowledge of basic record keeping." But that's already in Requirements; could be separate Skills section: "Basic computer knowledge and function; working knowledge of basic record keeping." Benefits: list as given. We must not include Pay or Schedule. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, E-Verify, etc. We must not include application instructions. We must not include duplicated lines. Now produce HTML fragment: use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to decide which content goes in lists vs paragraphs. Responsibilities: list of duties ->

    • each duty. Requirements: list of items -> could be
        . Qualifications: list ->
          . Skills: maybe a

          or

            if list. Benefits: list ->
              . About the role: maybe a couple paragraphs: one describing role, another contact info, another mission link. We must not repeat job title as heading. Let's craft. Check for any leftover boilerplate: The mission link is okay. Now produce HTML. We need to ensure we don't include any markdown fences. Let's write:
