HVAC Operating Engineer
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule? It mentions schedule: "Available to work nights and weekends when necessary". That's schedule info. Also "Extreme flexibility". So we can include Schedule section.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove duplicated lines. Also remove application instructions (like email for accommodation? That's part of EEO? Might be considered boilerplate; but it's about accommodation request. Might be considered EEO/legal. Probably remove that line. Also remove "Additional Information" heading? It contains compensation and benefits. We'll extract compensation and benefits.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to include sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting includes qualifications and required technical skills; we can combine into Requirements or Qualifications. Also Skills maybe separate but we can merge.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay is given: $43/hr to $50/hr. So we can include Pay section.
Schedule: mention nights and weekends.
Benefits: list items.

But we need to avoid duplication. We'll include Responsibilities (the bullet list of duties). Requirements/Qualifications (the qualifications list). Skills maybe separate but we can incorporate into Requirements. However we need to follow instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple sections; we should not repeat similar content. We'll decide:
- About the role: brief overview (mission and role purpose).
- Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties (the "As a member of the NJ Facilities Team, the HVAC Operating Engineer will:" list).
- Requirements: maybe the qualifications (education/experience, progressive responsibility, etc.) plus physical requirements? Could separate but we can combine.
- Skills: maybe the technical skills list (the long list of abilities). But that might be too much duplication. However we can separate: Requirements (education/experience, progressive responsibility, ability to handle multiple projects, familiarity with systems, OSHA, computer skills, communication, availability, flexibility, etc.) and Skills (the technical HVAC abilities). That seems reasonable.
- Benefits: list from "Our people are what make us Uncommon..." includes compensation and benefits. We'll separate Pay and Benefits.
- Pay: compensation range $43/hr to $50/hr.
- Schedule: "Available to work nights and weekends when necessary" plus maybe "Extreme flexibility". We'll include schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation request, etc. Also remove "Additional Information" heading but we extracted content.
We must preserve all substantive info; we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all specifics: e.g., "National Standard HVAC Code", "National Standard Plumbing Code", "SchoolDude, soon ZenDesk", etc. Also list of specific abilities: gas valves, economizer motors and dampers, compressors and contactors, etc. Also list of physical requirements: stand/walk up to 2 hours at a time, up to 8 hours per day; sit fewer than 2 hours during 8-hour day; lift/carry up to 35 pounds frequently and 100 pounds occasionally; lift up to 100 pounds to waist height and up to 35 pounds in a range of motions from floor to overhead; frequently use hands for simple grasping, fine manipulation, pushing or pulling; occasionally climb stairs or ladders, dig, or pull with forces up to 100 pounds; frequently bend, squat, kneel, knee stand, lift overhead, reach overhead, push, or pull; work outdoors in a variety of temperatures and environmental conditions; possess ability to work at heights, full range of body motions and physical agility, and ability to maintain balance.

We'll include maybe under About the role or separate? Could be part of About the role. But we have no specific heading for Mission Alignment; we could incorporate into About the role as prose.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat same bullet.
