- Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list.

- Supplemental Qualifications: preferences.
We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe minimum qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe supplemental?), Skills (maybe knowledge, skills, abilities), Benefits (none), Pay (none), Schedule (none). Since no explicit benefits, pay, schedule given, we should not include those sections.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
Thus we will have sections: About the role (overview paragraph), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (supplemental preferences), Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities). Possibly combine some.
But we need to decide what goes where.
The posting includes "Examples Of Duties And Knowledge, Skills And Abilities" which includes duties and also knowledge, skills, abilities. Then separate "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" section. There's overlap. We need to preserve all info, not duplicate? We should keep both but ensure not duplicate same sentences. Might be okay to have both but we need to avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep all info, even if overlapping. However we should not create filler sections. We can put duties under Responsibilities, and knowledge/skills/abilities under Skills. The "Examples Of Duties And Knowledge, Skills And Abilities" includes both duties and KSAs; we could split: duties go to Responsibilities, KSAs go to Skills. Then the separate "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" could also go to Skills (maybe duplicate). To avoid duplication, we could combine them but ensure we keep all content. Could merge both KSAs lists into Skills section, ensuring we include all unique points. However merging might lose some nuance but still preserve all info (if we combine, we still have all points). It's acceptable as long as we don't omit any detail. We'll need to check.
Let's extract duties from "Examples Of Duties And Knowledge, Skills And Abilities" bullet-like sentences (though not formatted as list). We'll convert to

We need to decide sections.
About the role: Could be the initial paragraph(s) describing the position, location, general purpose. We'll combine first paragraph(s) up to "NATURE AND VARIETY OF WORK". Actually "NATURE AND VARIETY OF WORK" is a heading but we can treat its content as part of About the role or Responsibilities? It describes nature of work: public contact, planning, organizing, supervising daily operations, etc. That seems like responsibilities. But we already have a detailed duties list. We could incorporate that nature description into About the role (overview). Let's decide: About the role: summary of role, location, purpose. Responsibilities: detailed duties list (from Examples Of Duties...). Requirements: minimum qualifications (education, experience, license, notes). Qualifications: supplemental preferences (certifications, software, etc.). Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities (both KSAs lists). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: none -> omit.
We must ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with
headings and appropriate

We must not include any extra text outside HTML.
Let's craft.
