We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". The salary range is given.

Whether you're looking to expand your leadership responsibilities or advance your certifications, we'll support your professional growth through training, mentorship, and ongoing development opportunities. We are seeking a full-time Assistant Plant Manager with a New Jersey N-1 Industrial Wastewater license to help lead operations and maintenance activities at a complex groundwater remediation facility in Bridgewater, New Jersey.

- Support the day-to-day operation and maintenance of groundwater and stormwater treatment systems.

- Manage and oversee contractors performing maintenance, construction, and specialty services.
- Support environmental sampling programs, reporting, and compliance documentation.

- Preferred Experience: Candidates with experience in any of the following areas are especially encouraged to apply:
- Groundwater remediation systems
- Industrial wastewater treatment
- Stormwater treatment operations
- Contractor management
- Budget oversight
- Environmental compliance programs
But we have nested ul inside li; maybe better to separate: Qualifications heading for licensing, and then a separate Preferred Experience heading? However we only have allowed headings list; we could treat "Preferred Experience" as part of Qualifications or maybe as Skills? But we have Skills heading; we could put preferred experience under Skills? Actually skills are more like abilities. Preferred experience is more like qualifications. Could create a separate section "Qualifications" for licensing and then "Preferred Experience" as a subsection? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings when appropriate. It doesn't say we cannot add other headings, but better to stick to those. So we need to map content to those headings.

We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. If we put skills separately, we must not repeat the same bullet points from Requirements. We could extract skill-specific bullets.
Let's list skills from Required Qualifications:
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, P&IDs, equipment manuals, technical specifications, and operational data.
- Strong mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and process troubleshooting skills.
- Strong communication, organizational, and project management skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and facility management software, including Hach WIMS and Utility Cloud.
Also maybe "Experience supporting preventive maintenance, asset management, equipment reliability, and process improvement programs." That's more experience than skill.
We could put those under Skills.
Now Requirements: we should keep the experience and leadership etc. But we need to avoid duplicating the skill bullets. So we can remove those skill bullets from Requirements and keep them under Skills.
Thus Requirements will contain:
- 5+ years of experience in water, wastewater, groundwater remediation, stormwater treatment, industrial treatment, or related environmental operations.
