Heavy Equipment Mechanic with Security Clearance
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
- Use - for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
- Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (page already shows it)
- Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
- Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
- Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
- Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")
- Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
- Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
- Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Now, let's parse the job posting:
1. First paragraph: "The Heavy Equipment Mechanic is responsible for..." - This is an "About the role" section.
2. "Responsibilities" section with a list of bullet points.
3. "Qualifications" section with Education, Experience, and then a list of skills/requirements.
4. "Physical Demands & Work Environment" section.
5. Job ID, Work Type, Pay Range, Health & Welfare, Benefits, Company Description.
I need to decide which sections to include.
- About the role: Yes, there's a descriptive paragraph.
- Responsibilities: Yes, there's a detailed list.
- Qualifications: Yes, there's education, experience, and a list of skills/requirements.
- Physical Demands & Work Environment: This could be a separate section or part of Qualifications. The posting has it as a separate heading. I'll include it as a section.
- Pay: The posting states "Pay Range $30.24/hr Health & Welfare $5.09/hr". That's specific, so include a Pay section.
- Benefits: The posting states "Benefits SCA - The company offers a comprehensive benefits program, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k) and a range of other voluntary benefits. Vacation, holiday and sick Leave offered will be as defined under the DOL's Wage Determination." That's specific, so include a Benefits section.
- Schedule: Not explicitly stated, but "Work Type On-Site" and "periodic overtime" and "up to 25% travel". Could be a Schedule section? The rules say only if the posting actually states them. It mentions "Work Type On-Site" and travel. I'll include a Schedule section with that info.
- Company Description: The posting has a company description. Should I include it? The rules don't mention company description as a standard heading. It says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". Company description is not in the example list. But it's substantive information. However, the rule says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." I could include it as an "About the Company" section, but the example headings don't include it. I'll include it as a section because it's substantive and not boilerplate. But the rule says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". It does. I'll add an "About the Company" heading.
But note: The rule says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It's an example list, not exhaustive. I can add other headings if they have real content.
However, the user might expect only those headings. But the company description is part of the posting. I'll include it as "About the Company".
Now, Job ID and Work Type: The rule says "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So I'll fold Job ID and Work Type into a short paragraph, maybe in the About the role or a separate metadata paragraph. But the rule says "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." I'll include a short paragraph at the beginning or end with Job ID and Work Type.
But the output should be only the HTML fragment. I'll structure as:
- About the role (with the first paragraph)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Qualifications (with subsections: Education, Experience, Skills/Requirements)
- Physical Demands & Work Environment (list)
- Pay (with pay range and health & welfare)
- Benefits (list)
- Schedule (with work type, travel, overtime)
- About the Company (paragraph)
But note: The Qualifications section in the posting includes Education, Experience, and then a list of skills/requirements. I'll combine them under Qualifications with sub-lists.
Also, the posting has "Qualifications" heading, then "Education:", "Experience:", then a list of bullet points. I'll keep that structure.
Now, I need to output HTML with
for each section,
for prose,
- for lists.
Let's write the HTML.
