We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes pay: "USD $23.00 - USD $24.75 /Hr." So we need a Pay section. Schedule? It mentions occasional night and weekend hours. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits? Not mentioned. So no Benefits. About the role: we can have a short paragraph summarizing role. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: maybe minimal qualifications? Qualifications: preferred qualifications? Skills: list of skills. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, disclaimer, special instructions, etc. Also remove "Physical demands characteristics..." and health & safety maybe? Those are generic; but they might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Health & Safety maybe considered boilerplate but it's part of posting; but it's generic policy. Might be considered boilerplate; safer to remove. Also "DISCLAIMER" etc remove. "Special Instructions to Applicants" remove. Also "All offers of employment are subject to ..." remove. Also "The physical demands characteristics..." maybe remove as it's generic. We'll keep core content.
Let's extract:
Pay: USD $23.00 - USD $24.75 /Hr.
Schedule: occasional night and weekend hours in support of the University.
About the role: The IT Infrastructure Technician is responsible for the installation and maintenance of physical data and telephony infrastructure — including cable plant, network electronics, and VoIP devices — and for the day-to-day support of the switching, wireless, and structured cabling that carry the University's network. The role provides hands-on layer-1 and entry-level layer-2 support under the direction of senior network staff, and maintains accurate records and inventory of all associated equipment.
Responsibilities (list):

- Performs switch-port moves, adds, and changes, including basic port configuration and VLAN assignment under established standards
- Assists with the installation, patching, and physical deployment of switches, routers, and wireless access points
- Performs first-level network connectivity troubleshooting (cabling, port, PoE, and link faults) and escalates to senior network staff as needed
- Uses network monitoring and management tools to identify, document, and report infrastructure and connectivity issues
- Maintains existing telephony infrastructure
- Installs, maintains, and troubleshoots VoIP telephones
- Maintains accurate record keeping for existing equipment, cable plant, and port/IP assignments, including updates to network and cabling documentation

- Moderate use of hand tools
- Moderate use of light power tools
- Basic knowledge of physical networking infrastructure components and the installation thereof
- Basic understanding of data networking concepts, including TCP/IP, Ethernet switching, and VLANs
- Ability to read and follow network diagrams, cabling schedules, and port assignments
- Problem analysis and troubleshooting
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Detail-oriented records keeping
Skills: maybe combine some of the above? But we already have qualifications and requirements. Could have Skills section for things like problem analysis, communication, detail-oriented, etc. But we must not duplicate. We could put skills as separate list: Problem analysis and troubleshooting, Strong written and verbal communication skills, Detail-oriented records keeping, Ability to read and follow network diagrams, etc. However many of those already appear in preferred qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could treat Requirements as minimal qualifications + minimal experience, Qualifications as preferred qualifications + preferred experience, Skills as abilities like problem analysis, communication, detail-oriented, reading diagrams, etc. But some overlap. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all info, but we can organize into sections without duplication? It's okay to have some overlap if it's present in posting; but we should not invent. Duplication is okay if it's in original? The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid repeating same line verbatim. We need to ensure we don't duplicate exact sentences. We can split content logically.
