We must ensure no extra sections like Schedule. Also we must not repeat job title as heading. We didn't. Check for any boilerplate: we removed EEO, tobacco policy, etc. We kept location? Not included as a section; location info is in the About the role? Actually location appears later: "LOCATION Work is conducted onsite at EWEB’s Leaburg-Walterville Hydroelectric Project, approximately 25 miles east of Eugene along the McKenzie River. Out-of-area candidates may be eligible for a relocation reimbursement." We included relocation reimbursement in Benefits. The location itself could be considered substantive but not required as a heading; we could embed location in About the role or Responsibilities? Might be okay to include location in About the role paragraph? The About the role currently does not mention location. Could add a sentence about location in About the role or maybe a separate short p. But we must not create a heading for location unless we have a section heading like "Location" which is not in the allowed list. The allowed headings are only those listed. So we should not create a heading for Location. We can incorporate location into About the role paragraph or maybe into Benefits? Better to add a short p after About the role: maybe a paragraph about location. But we must not create extra headings. So we can add aabout location after About the role before Responsibilities. That is allowed as prose. Let's add:
The position is based onsite at EWEB’s Leaburg‑Walterville Hydroelectric Project
