We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). Must remove duplicated lines). Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay: we have "Transdev Is Proud To Offer Competitive compensation package of minimum $64,000.00 – maximum $90,000.00". So Pay section with that. Benefits: we have list: Vacation: minimum of two (2) weeks; Sick days: 5 days; Holidays: 12 days; 8 standard and 4 floating; Other standard benefits: 401(k) retirement plan, medical, dental and vision, life insurance, short-term disability, and voluntary long-term disability. Benefits may vary depending on the location policy. So Benefits section with list. Schedule: we have "Ability and availability to work standard business hours with occasional weekends and overnight hours." Also "Must be able to work shifts or flexible work schedules as needed." So schedule info. About the role: The first paragraph: "The Arlington County Transit Bureau, in partnership with Transdev, is seeking a detail-oriented and technically proficient Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Specialist to support the development, integration, ongoing performance, and maintenance of intelligent systems within the public transit network. This role serves as a critical link between Operations, Technology, and Planning, ensuring that transit services remain efficient, safe, reliable, accessible, and data-driven. The ITS Specialist will act as a key technical resource, supporting the integration and optimization of transportation technologies such as CAD/AVL systems, real-time passenger information signage, Automatic Passenger Counters (APC), and other advanced transit technologies." Responsibilities: list of duties: many bullet points starting with "Assist in ...". We need to extract them. Skills: list: "Excellent verbal and written communication and interpersonal skills Ability to work collaboratively across departments and with external partners/customers Strong organizational, analytical, and project management skills Ability to work independently, with minimal supervision Strong problem-solving skills" Minimum Qualifications: list: "Bachelor’s degree in Transportation Planning, Information Technology, Computer Science, and Engineering or related field, or equivalent years of experience. Willingness to learn and adapt to new technologies, systems, and processes in an ever-changing public transit environment. Proficient computer knowledge and skills, specifically in a Windows environment; excellent Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook skills are required. Ability to communicate (read, speak, write, and understand) clearly in the English language. Ability and availability to work standard business hours with occasional weekends and overnight hours." Preferred Qualifications: list: "Fluency in Spanish or additional languages At least 1 year of demonstrated, hands-on experience and working knowledge in ITS Technology, devices, and equipment in a Public Transportation Setting. Experience with Transit Software Platforms and technical data specifications (e.g., Swiftly, Clever Devices, Spare, Remix, GTFS, GTFS-RT, etc.)" Physical Requirements: maybe not needed as separate section unless we have a specific heading like "Physical Requirements". The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we could combine Minimum and Preferred Qualifications into a "Qualifications" section, maybe separate "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications" as subheadings? But only allowed headings are those listed; we could put both under Qualifications with sub-lists. Or we could have separate sections: Requirements and Qualifications. The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have sections named exactly those. We need to decide what content goes where. "About the role": intro paragraph. "Responsibilities": list of duties. "Requirements": maybe Minimum Qualifications? Or could be "Requirements" for mandatory qualifications. "Qualifications" could be Preferred Qualifications. But we have both Minimum and Preferred. We could put Minimum under Requirements, Preferred under Qualifications. That seems logical. "Skills": list of skills. "Benefits": list. "Pay": compensation range. "Schedule": work hours info. We must not include sections with filler like "not specified". All sections have content. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, drug-free workplace, Transdev about, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "Physical Requirements" maybe not needed as separate heading; but we could incorporate schedule info includes shift work. Physical requirements like sitting, typing, indoor/outdoor could be omitted? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep physical requirements info if it's substantive. However we don't have a heading for Physical Requirements; we could include it under Schedule or maybe under Requirements? But the instruction says we should only include sections when posting has real specific content for it, using the given headings. It didn't forbid adding other headings, but gave examples. Safer to stick to given headings; we can place physical requirements under Schedule or maybe under Responsibilities? But it's not a responsibility. Could add a short paragraph under Schedule about work environment. However schedule heading is about work hours; physical requirements is different. Could we add a section "Physical Requirements"? Not in the list but maybe allowed as it's substantive. The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. But they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could add Physical Requirements if needed. However we already have many sections; maybe we can incorporate physical requirements into Schedule or Responsibilities? I'd rather add a short paragraph under Schedule about work environment: "The employee is generally subjected to long periods spent sitting, typing, or looking at a computer screen. Work environment will be a combination of both indoors and outdoors." That seems okay. Now we need to remove duplicated lines: there are many repeated paragraphs about Transdev, EEO, etc. We'll omit those. Now produce HTML fragment: start with

Actually there are three sentences: "The Arlington County Transit Bureau, in partnership with Transdev, is seeking a detail-oriented and technically proficient Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Specialist to support the development, integration, ongoing performance, and maintenance of intelligent systems within the public transit network.

We'll put that as one
