Must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Must not include duplicated lines. Must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Let's extract content.

A valid U.S. driver license and acceptable driving record required. Pre-employment driving records checks, including FMCSA Clearinghouse registration and full query check for final candidate(s) and annual query for current employees. As of Sept. 29, 2025, FMCSA rescinded prior guidance that allowed state DMVs to issue limited term commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs). As a result, individuals who hold a lawful employment authorization document (EAD) are no longer eligible to obtain a CLP or CDL. This federal policy change may impact candidates applying for positions that require a CDL. For more info, refer to FMCSA announcement and FAQ. This position has the option of living in state housing at the Brothers maintenance station. If no on-site housing is available or desired, this position requires a maximum 45 minute response time to 34400 E. Highway 20 Brothers, OR 97712 for emergency call-outs. - What We’d Like To See: attributes: experience in road maintenance, construction or in a maintenance training program such as ODOT High School to Highway program, ODOT/ODF Fire and Ice program, Job Corps, etc. Experience working on a team. Experience prioritizing safety. Winter maintenance experience such as sanding, deicing or using snow blowers or snowplows. Experience communicating verbally and in writing. - How To Apply: application instructions (we must remove). So we discard that section. - Additional Information: includes visa sponsorship not offered, I-9 form, not E-Verify, State of Oregon does not request age etc, recruitment may fill multiple vacancies, name-based criminal background checks on final candidates (not current ODOT employees), applicants may be subject to additional pre-employment checks such as driver license, LEDS, education verification as required. You will be represented by SEIU. ODOT is EEO/AA employer. We do not discriminate... Applicants with disability may request reasonable accommodation. Contact info for EEO/AA/ADA. This info can be made available in alternative format. Oregon Relay Service. Snowplow, road maintenance, highway, farming, flagging (keywords). We must remove boilerplate: EEO/AA, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must not include application instructions. Must not include EEO/AA boilerplate. Must not include legal disclaimer about visa sponsorship? That's not EEO but maybe considered additional info; but it's still somewhat boilerplate. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove legal boilerplate like visa sponsorship, I-9, E-Verify, criminal background checks, etc? Those are legal. Probably remove them. Also remove EEO statement. Remove contact info for EEO. Remove Oregon Relay Service. Remove "Snowplow, road maintenance, highway, farming, flagging" maybe considered keywords but not boilerplate; but could be considered duplicated? Not sure. It's at end; maybe it's just tags; could be considered boilerplate? Might be safe to keep? The instruction says remove boilerplate; those tags might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove. We need to preserve substantive info: role description, day in the life duties, what's in it for you (benefits), salary range, PERS increase, public service loan forgiveness, on-site housing option, response time requirement, minimum qualifications, special qualifications (CDL requirements), what we'd like to see (desired attributes). Also maybe include "About the role" section from The Role paragraph. Responsibilities from A Day In The Life. Requirements maybe from Minimum Qualifications + Special Qualifications? Could split: Requirements = minimum qualifications; Qualifications = special qualifications? Or we could combine. The instruction: use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. - About the role: The Role paragraph (the motivational paragraph). Could also include brief description of position. - Responsibilities: A Day In The Life list of duties. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (one year experience OR two years general experience). Could also include valid US driver license and acceptable driving record? That's part of special qualifications though. Might be better to put driver license under Qualifications (special). But we can decide. - Qualifications: Special Qualifications (CDL-A with tanker endorsement, ability to acquire CLP within 60 days, etc). Also maybe include "valid U.S. driver license and acceptable driving record". Also include "ability to acquire CDL-A with tanker endorsement within six months". Also include "ODOT will cover training costs". Also include note about FMCSA change? That's legal; maybe remove. Also include on-site housing option and response time requirement? That could be under Benefits or Schedule? Actually housing is a benefit; response time is a requirement (availability). Could put under Requirements as "must be able to respond within 45 minutes if no on-site housing". Or maybe under Schedule? Not exactly schedule. Could be under Requirements. - Skills: What We’d Like To See (desired attributes) could be considered Skills. Also maybe include experience communicating verbally and in writing, teamwork, safety prioritization, winter maintenance experience. So put those under Skills. - Benefits: What’s In It For You: work/life balance, 11 paid holidays, flexible work schedules, paid leave, etc. Also mention comprehensive base salary offer within range, PERS increase, public service loan forgiveness, on-site housing option. Also maybe mention "Learn more about working at ODOT and benefits we offer." That's benefits. - Pay: Salary range $4,312 - $5,988 (non-PERS monthly). Also note that if PERS member or eligible, salary range increases by 6.95%. Also mention equal pay assessment determines offer. So we can include that. - Schedule: Not explicitly given. There's mention of may need to be available after hours, weekends, holidays for emergency, on call, weather related. That's schedule expectations. Could be under Schedule. Also mention limited duration appointment expected to end after approx one year or before. That's duration, not schedule. Could be under Schedule as "Limited duration appointment (~1 year)". But schedule heading maybe for work schedule; we have info about availability after hours, weekends, holidays. So we can include that. We must not create sections with filler text. Ensure each section has real content. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's extract precise sentences. About the role: The paragraph: "Do you want to use your skills to make a difference? Join our hardworking Brothers maintenance crew and help keep Oregon’s roads and travelers safe! As part of our team, you will operate equipment necessary to maintain and repair roadways, highways, bridges and structures. You will also help with emergency cleanup and traffic control after storms, spills, incidents and more! Apply today! This is a limited duration appointment that is expected to end after approximately one year or before. Limited duration appointments are benefits eligible and have a designated maximum length of service. This position has the potential to become permanent. We provide a safe and reliable multimodal transportation system that connects people and helps Oregon's communities and economy thrive. We encourage people from all backgrounds and abilities to apply for our positions." We could trim the "Apply today!" maybe it's application instruction; but it's part of role description. Might be considered application instruction? It's a call to apply. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to keep? The instruction says remove application instructions. "Apply today!" is an application instruction. So we should remove that sentence. Also "Before applying, visit our applicant information website..." is application instruction; not in this paragraph. So we remove "Apply today!". Thus About the
