Immediate: Building Service Manager III, Burtonsville ES, 8hrs/12mos, Ad closes 9/25/26
for section headings.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to decide which sections to include.
Potential sections:
- About the role: could be summary description.
- Responsibilities: maybe the duties described.
- Requirements: education, experience, certificate.
- Qualifications: maybe knowledge, skills, abilities.
- Skills: could be part of knowledge/skills.
- Benefits: link.
- Pay: wage range.
- Schedule: full-time, months, shift.
We must avoid duplication. Could combine some.
But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should maybe have sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (education/experience/cert), Knowledge, Skills, Abilities (maybe as Skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
But we need to ensure each section has real content.
Let's extract content.
Summary Description:
"Under direction, has the immediate responsibility for the management of the school plant, building operations, and property and ground. Work of the class involves responsibility for achieving and maintaining prescribed sanitary, safety, and operating standards, and security of a school plant. General and special instructions are received from the school principal or designee; technical supervision and guidance is received from the area building services supervisor. NOTE: Overall responsibilities of building service managers at all levels are generally the same; specific duties may vary depending upon the size of the plant, number of building service workers and presence of a plant equipment operator on the staff. In larger schools the manager is less involved in actual performance of these duties and is more actively engaged in supervision of the building service staff. Employees in these classes are considered emergency personnel and are required to report to buildings during inclement weather."
That's about role/responsibilities.
Physical Demands: "Sufficient physical strength and freedom from disabling defects to permit the lifting and moving of heavy objects (minimum 50 lbs.) and to perform manual labor."
Special Requirements: "Employees in this classification are considered emergency personnel and are required to report to buildings during inclement weather and may be required to report to other locations to assist staff in emergency situations. Frequent overtime or night work may be required. Employees are provided uniforms and must wear proper attire. Employees must provide a current working telephone number to their supervisor, and update the telephone number on file, as necessary with their supervisor."

Now we need to output HTML.
We need to decide headings.
Potential sections:
- About the role (summary description)
- Responsibilities (maybe physical demands, special requirements, emergency personnel)
- Requirements (education, experience, certificate)
- Knowledge, Skills, Abilities (maybe as Skills)
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule
But we must not create thin sections. Let's see if we can combine some.
Maybe:
- About the role (summary description)
- Responsibilities (physical demands, special requirements, emergency personnel)
- Qualifications (education, experience, certificate, test)
- Knowledge and Skills (the KSAs)
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule
That's 7 sections, each substantive.
We need to use
for each heading.
Inside each section, we need to use
for prose, and
- for any list.
We need to decide what is a list.
For Responsibilities: we have multiple sentences; could be prose.
Physical demands and special requirements could be list items? They are separate points. Could be
- .
For Requirements: education, experience, certificate, test could be list.
For Knowledge and Skills: many items; could be list.
Benefits: just a link; could be
with .
Pay: prose.
Schedule: prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not omit any detail.
Let's extract exact text.
Summary Description paragraph: We'll keep as is.
Physical Demands: "Sufficient physical strength and freedom from disabling defects to permit the lifting and moving of heavy objects (minimum 50 lbs.) and to perform manual labor."
Special Requirements: "Employees in this classification are considered emergency personnel and are required to report to buildings during inclement weather and may be required to report to other locations to assist staff in emergency situations. Frequent overtime or night work may be required. Employees are provided uniforms and must wear proper attire. Employees must provide a current working telephone number to their supervisor, and update the telephone number on file, as necessary with their supervisor."
We could combine these two as responsibilities.
Job Specific Information: link to training website. Should we include? It's substantive. Could be under About the role or Responsibilities? It's a link for requirement information. Could be a separate section "Training Information" but not in allowed headings. Could put under About the role as a link.
But we must only use allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to fit the training link somewhere. Perhaps under About the role as a note.
Now Knowledge Skills Abilities: list items.
Education Training Experience: list.
Certificate License: part of requirements.
Now we need to avoid duplication: The note about emergency personnel appears both in summary and special requirements; we must preserve but not duplicate? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep both mentions, even if duplicate. It's okay to have duplicate content.
Now we need to format.
Let's craft HTML.
We'll start with
