We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have description: "About CDOT" etc. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each section heading only if content exists. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting and extract relevant content. Let's identify sections: - About the role: maybe a brief intro: "If you have a Colorado Class A or B Commercial Driver’s License and are passionate about safety, travel, and hands-on repair and improvements, then consider turning your passions into a career as a Highway Maintenance Specialist." Also "CDOT has a vacancy for a Highway Maintenance Specialist in Aurora, CO." Also "Department Information Applications will be considered from residents and non-residents of Colorado." Could be about role. - Responsibilities: list of duties from "What You Will Do" and "Your main job activities include:" bullet list. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications, Conditions of Employment maybe. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications maybe. - Skills: maybe from Preferred Qualifications list. - Benefits: includes medical, dental, vision, life, disability, flexible spending, health savings, PERA retirement, optional PERA plans, paid time off, tuition reimbursement, professional development, CSEAP counseling, wellness, credit union, employee discount, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, housing stipend? Actually housing stipend is part of compensation. Also "Full payment for your CDL physical, after your first year with CDOT", "Partial reimbursement (up to 50%) for your CDL renewal, after your first year with CDOT", "CPR and first-aid training", "Variety of career training opportunities", "Opportunities to learn new equipment", "Opportunities for advancement", "Personal protective equipment, such as uniforms, boots, hard hats, gloves, safety vest, respirator, and tools". Also "Work Environment" maybe not benefits. - Pay: Base pay $2,074.62 biweekly ($53,940 - 54,000/annually). There are 26 biweekly pay periods. Annualized hourly rate $25.93/hour, overtime $38.90/hour. Total annual compensation $65,940 ($53,940 base pay and $12,000 housing stipend). So we need Pay section with that info. - Schedule: "The anticipated work schedule for this position is 10-hour days, 4 days per week Monday – Thursday with 3 day weekends. During the warm months this position works out of town typically April 15th through November 1st. When traveling overnight, CDOT pays for the hotel and employees receive a per diem amount to pay for meals." Also "40-hour work weeks, with opportunity for overtime during weather emergencies 4-day work schedule (10-hour days Monday-Thursday) during the summer months, typically May through September". Also "On-call work (rotating basis as well as subject to call)". So schedule section. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual data. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

Highway Maintenance Specialist

. Good. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to decide which sections to include. Likely: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we may combine some if content thin. However we have substantive content for each. Let's extract content. About the role: combine intro sentences. "Department Information Applications will be considered from residents and non-residents of Colorado. If you have a Colorado Class A or B Commercial Driver’s License and are passionate about safety, travel, and hands-on repair and improvements, then consider turning your passions into a career as a Highway Maintenance Specialist. CDOT has a vacancy for a Highway Maintenance Specialist in Aurora, CO." We could also include "About CDOT" paragraph but that's more about organization; maybe belongs to About the role? Could be separate but we only have allowed headings. Could put under About the role. Responsibilities: list from "What You Will Do" and bullet list. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include the paragraph: "No two days are exactly the same in CDOT highway maintenance. Your daily work activities change based on project needs and also vary based on weather, environment, and road conditions. You will be on-call on a rotating basis as well as subject to call to respond to weather and other emergencies. You will typically work in a team environment, as each maintenance patrol location has at least one lead highway maintenance specialist and multiple highway maintenance specialists." Then the bullet list of activities. We should output as
  • each item. List items: - Installing pavement markings/striping - Installing and repairing guardrail, highway markers and signs, warning signs, and lighting - Plowing snow - Operating heavy equipment, such as tandem dump truck, loader, tractor mower, etc. - Mowing grass and weeds - Removing debris from roadways, including rock, mud, and deceased animals - Removing debris from culverts, tunnels, etc. - Shoveling gravel, sand, concrete, and asphalt - Digging ditches - Filling potholes and roadway cracks - Setting out signs and cones for traffic control - Removing and covering graffiti - Stopping or slowing traffic in emergency situations - Maintaining equipment and performing minor repairs - Following safety guidance and wearing proper safety equipment We could also include "Your Work Environment" maybe under Responsibilities? But it's more about environment; maybe could be under Responsibilities or separate but we don't have heading for Work Environment. Could include under Responsibilities as additional bullet? But it's not a duty. Might be better to include under Responsibilities as a paragraph. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can include as a paragraph under Responsibilities after list. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications, Conditions of Employment, maybe also "Must possess and maintain a valid Commercial Driver’s License Class A or B with no restriction on air brakes that allows operation within Colorado." etc. We need to capture all. Let's extract Minimum Qualifications: - Must have at least two (2) years of physical labor and/or heavy equipment operation experience. Conditions of Employment (list): - Must possess and maintain a valid Commercial Driver’s License Class A or B with no restriction on air brakes that allows operation within Colorado. - If you have a non-Colorado Commercial Driver’s License, you must be eligible to drive in Colorado with your CDL at time of hire. - If you currently live outside of Colorado and relocate to reside in Colorado, you must transfer your CDL to Colorado within 30 days of relocation. - Must pass a pre-employment screening which may include social security number trace, criminal records check, public court records check, educational records, and driving records checks. - May be required to pass a controlled substance test (i.e., drug test), and DOT physical through our medical provider. - On-call work (rotating basis as well as subject to call) - Shift work - Essential Services Designation – Required to report without delay or interruption to provide essential or emergency services to ensure health, safety, and welfare. - May be required to live within thirty (30) minutes' driving time in normal weather conditions to be able to respond in a timely manner after being notified to report to work. - Knowledge of an emergency or hazardous condition may be considered to be notification to report to workstation. - New employees are required to take two weeks of maintenance training, while veteran CDOT employees are required to take one week of training each year. This training is completed via computer or in our Aurora location. - May be required to obtain a Hazardous Materials endorsement within 6 months to 1 year as a condition of appointment. - Must be willing to respond to emergencies outside regular work hours and work overtime including weekends and holidays. - Must provide the supervisor with a telephone number where you can be reached for the purposes of responding to an emergency. Also "Must be willing and be physically able to work in extreme temperatures (hot and cold), variable weather conditions, and at varying elevations up to 12,000 feet for long periods of time" appears under Work Environment but could be requirement. We'll include that as requirement. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list. Preferred Qualifications: - Has a strong commitment to working safely - Has a desire to learn - Wants to work outdoors - Likes physically demanding work - Takes pride in a job well done - Adapts efficiently to changing conditions and priorities - Works effectively in a team environment and looks out for team members - Communicates effectively, especially in safety-critical situations - Has a strong commitment to providing good customer service - Likes to solve problems and figure out better ways to do things - Has experience operating equipment, such as single and tandem axle dump trucks, front end loaders, bulldozers, backhoes, etc. - Has experience using hand tools - Has basic computer skills and can learn new software/equipment - Years of State service experience related to the duties of this position We could treat these as Qualifications or Skills. The instructions have separate headings for Qualifications and Skills. We could put Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications, and maybe Skills under Skills (like experience operating equipment, hand tools, basic computer skills). But we can also combine. Better: Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (the list). Skills: maybe the specific skill items: experience operating equipment, hand tools, basic computer skills. But we have overlapping. Given the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But we have to use headings only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content for both Qualifications and Skills. Could make Qualifications section for Preferred Qualifications, and Skills section for the specific skill items (experience operating equipment, hand tools, basic computer skills). However the Preferred Qualifications already includes those skill items. Might be redundant. Maybe we treat Qualifications as Minimum Qualifications? But we already have Requirements for Minimum Qualifications. Actually Requirements could be Minimum Qualifications, and Qualifications could be Preferred Qualifications. Skills could be derived from Preferred Qualifications but we could omit Skills section to avoid thin content. But we need to follow headings list: we can include only those with real content. If we think Skills is not distinct, we could omit it. However the instruction says: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It's examples, not mandatory to include all. So we can include only those we have content for. Thus we could have: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum quals), Qualifications (preferred quals), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can skip Skills. Now Benefits: need to list all benefits.
