Management$28.82–$31.11/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The job summary includes description. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (job summary), "Responsibilities" (Essential Functions), "Qualifications" (Qualifications And Competencies), "Benefits" (Salary & Benefits), maybe "Pay" (salary). The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out "Application Requirements" lines (complete online application, upload résumé) and "Equal Opportunity" etc. Also remove "Position Information and Application Process" heading? That's part of boilerplate. Also remove "Physical Work Environment" maybe keep? It's substantive about environment; could be part of "Requirements" or "Work Environment". But we can include as part of "Requirements" maybe. However we need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep details about physical work environment, but we can embed in a section like "Work Environment" or under "Requirements". Since we have limited headings list, we could use "Requirements" for qualifications and physical requirements. But we also have "Qualifications" heading. Could split: "Qualifications" for education/experience, "Skills" for abilities, "Requirements" for physical? But instructions: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine qualifications and skills into one "Qualifications" section. Physical work environment could be part of "Requirements" or "Work Environment". Since we have "Requirements" as possible heading, we could use that for physical requirements. But we also have qualifications. Might be better to have sections: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (essential functions), Qualifications (education/experience + knowledge/skills/abilities), Benefits (salary & benefits). Possibly also "Work Environment" but we could fold into Qualifications or Responsibilities? It's about physical demands, maybe part of Qualifications. But we can add a "Requirements" section for physical work environment and special requirements (driver's license, background check, physical abilities test). However we already have qualifications covering knowledge/skills/abilities; special requirements could be separate. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content. Job Summary paragraph: "This position is open until filled; however, to ensure consideration applications should be submitted by September 18, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. We are currently recruiting for a conscientious and dedicated Landscaper/Cleaner for our Ballinger Homes portfolio based in Shoreline, WA, with occasional support of properties in Sedro Wooley, WA. The individual selected for this role will be responsible for performing manual work cleaning and maintaining residential facilities and grounds. The work involves a variety of indoor and outdoor tasks such as cutting grass, general landscaping and cleaning vacant units and common areas. During unit vacates, the Landscaper/Cleaner participates in demolition and make ready protocols. Additionally, the Landscaper/Cleaner will be responsible for gutter and roof cleaning and pressure washing. The Landscaper/Cleaner will also learn and assist in a variety of semi-skilled tasks involved with general maintenance of housing units. The ideal candidate will have experience performing manual labor including cleaning, working with hand tools, and yard & garden equipment. This individual will also have some knowledge of landscaping, as well as a desire to support the important work of King County Housing Authority. This position is represented by the Seattle King County Building Trades Council. King County Housing Authority (KCHA), an independent municipal organization is a high performing nationally recognized leader in affordable housing. To learn more about KCHA and our Mission visit this link . We transform lives through housing." We need to remove the link placeholder "visit this link ." Probably remove that sentence or just keep "To learn more about KCHA and our Mission". But we can't invent. We could keep the sentence but remove the link? It says "visit this link ." Might be considered boilerplate? It's a placeholder. Better to remove that sentence entirely. Also remove "We transform lives through housing." maybe keep as it's substantive? It's a tagline; could keep. Essential Functions list: many bullet points. We'll put under
  • . Qualifications And Competencies: includes Required Qualifications, Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities, Special Requirements. We need to preserve all. Salary & Benefits: includes starting salary range, full pay schedule, benefits description. Physical Work Environment: we need to keep. Equal Opportunity: remove. Application Requirements: remove. Position Information and Application Process: remove. Now craft sections. Section headings: About the role (job summary). Responsibilities (Essential Functions). Qualifications (maybe combine qualifications and knowledge/skills/abilities and special requirements). Benefits (Salary & Benefits). Possibly also "Work Environment" but we could incorporate into Qualifications or Responsibilities? It's about physical demands; maybe better as its own section "Work Environment". But we have limited headings list; we can use "Requirements" for physical requirements and special requirements. However we already have Qualifications for education/experience. Could have two sections: Qualifications and Requirements. But instructions: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine qualifications, knowledge, skills, abilities, special requirements, physical work environment into one "Qualifications" section. That may be long but okay. Let's decide: We'll have sections: - About the role - Responsibilities - Qualifications - Benefits Now we need to ensure we don't include headings with empty content. Now extract content for each. About the role: combine job summary paragraphs, but remove the link line and maybe the "We transform lives through housing." Keep it. Let's write:
