We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to reformat job posting into clean semantic HTML. Use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to parse the job posting. Let's extract sections: - About the role: The paragraph after "What you can expect as a Lead Maintenance Inspector at West Star:" includes description of responsibilities. Could be "Responsibilities" section. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements/Education: "Your Education What you’ll need to bring with you: A High school diploma or equivalent and Airframe and Powerplant License or Repairman Certificate are required. A valid driver’s license approved for airline travel and/or a valid passport is ideal, but not mandatory. Aircraft specific factory training is preferred." - Experience: "Your Experience Extensive experience in maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alterations with part 43. Must be proficient in using the various types of inspection equipment and visual inspection aids appropriate for the article being inspected." - Initiative: "Your Initiative We’re looking for a team player who is self-motivated and able to perform in a fast paced environment where working under specific deadlines and time constraints will be common." - Sense Of Responsibility: "Your Sense Of Responsibility Attend work every day as scheduled to include overtime and weekend assignments. Notify supervisor in advance of shift starting if unable to work. Must have reliable transportation to get to work each and every day. Must perform all work in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration guidelines. Follow all company and safety rules during performance of duties. Maintain customer oriented work habits. Direct the work and flow of multiple projects. Supervision of team members in daily operations and duties. Completion of work orders, FAA paperwork." - Other Particulars: Physical Requirements, Mental Requirements, Working Conditions, Equipment Used. - Benefits: The earlier paragraph: "When you join our team we don’t think you should have to wait for your benefits to kick in. That’s why when you start, they start with you! This includes medical, dental, 401K match, time off accruals, weekly pay days and much more." - Pay: Not explicitly mentioned. No pay info. So we should NOT create Pay section. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. No schedule info. So no Schedule. - Company Description: Could be "About the company" but not required headings; we could include as "About the company" but not in list of allowed headings? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could use "About the role" for role description, "Responsibilities" for duties, "Requirements" for education/experience/initiative etc. Could combine. We need to decide sections to include: About the role (maybe a brief overview), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (education, experience, initiative, sense of responsibility), Benefits (list). Possibly also "Physical Requirements" etc could be under Requirements or separate but we have limited headings. Could create "Qualifications" for education/experience, "Skills" for initiative etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Better: Use sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties list), Requirements (education, experience, initiative, sense of responsibility), Benefits (benefits list). Possibly also "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings; we could incorporate into Requirements or omit? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine physical/mental requirements into Requirements section as part of qualifications. We must not invent placeholder text. Ensure we include all substantive info. Let's extract details: About the role: The first paragraph after "What you can expect as a Lead Maintenance Inspector at West Star:" Actually that's more responsibilities. The earlier paragraph: "We are committed to providing our employees with personal and professional growth opportunities while fostering a culture of respect and well-being with a small company feel." That's about company culture. Could be About the role? Might be better as "About the role" summarizing role purpose: managing performance of operational quality control tasks, ensure adherence to policies etc. We'll craft a concise paragraph using the posting's language. Responsibilities: All bullet-like duties after "What you can expect as a Lead Maintenance Inspector at West Star:" The text includes many sentences; we can turn each into

  • . Need to preserve all substantive info; we should not omit any duty. Let's list them: From the posting: - manage the performance of operational quality control tasks and ensure adherence to the policies and procedures in the West Star Aviation, "WSA" Repair Station & Quality Control Manual, Customer Maintenance Programs, and Federal Aviation Regulations. - Review technician assignments and sign offs to ensure technician adherence to Roster Authorizations and Repair Station Authorizations. - Perform front line, spot checks of technician maintenance activity to ensure adherence to AMM, RSQCM, and customer GMM guidelines.

(i.e. Manufacturers Maintenance and Overhaul Manuals, Service Bulletins, Part or Component Specifications, etc.) -- Ensure that the Policies and Procedures outlined in the WSA RSQCM are followed -- Ensure the proper tagging, inspection, identification of parts, and components as outlined in this manual. These inspections are to be carried out in real time coordination with maintenance activities -- Ensure that distributed customer requests are being carried out in the manner that is expected of WSA. This includes but is not limited to: --- Verifying proper tech support is involved --- Verifying tech support is mentioned in Corridor corrective actions --- Verifying MX Net status of projects --- Verifying MX Net updates --- Spot check of Ramp App usage -- Perform the functions authorized on the Repair Station Roster -- Reject items and work found to be non-compliant with the WSA Repair Station & Quality Control Manual, Customer Maintenance Programs, and Federal Aviation Regulations -- Reject incomplete or improperly completed work which is submitted for return to service consideration -- Hold the release of an aircraft by extending the RTS line if unsatisfactory conditions are identified that would lead to a quality escape -- Reject corrective actions with respect to Quality issues -- Effectively and clearly communicate (i.e., speak, write, read) in English -- Any other job-related duties as assigned by supervisor or management. That's a lot. We'll keep them as list items. Requirements: Education, Experience, Initiative, Sense Of Responsibility, Physical Requirements, Mental Requirements, Working Conditions, Equipment Used. We can combine into a Requirements section with sublists? But we must use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have multiple
        inside the section. We'll create: with

        Requirements

        then
          for education, experience, initiative, sense of responsibility, physical, mental, working conditions, equipment. But we need to preserve all details; we can break into multiple
            groups with headings? Not allowed to add extra headings besides

            for section headings. Could use

            for prose headings inside? Probably okay to have

            with bold? But better to keep each group as

              with preceding

              describing category? The instruction: Use

              • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

                for prose. So we can have a

                like "Education:" then a

                  . That seems acceptable. We'll do:
