We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. First, there is a location line: "20805 Eaton Ave Farmington Minnesota 55024-7932". Probably not needed. Then "Why Valmont ..." is about company description. Could be "About the role"? Actually it's about company. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Valmont". But headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use About the role for company description? Might be okay. Then "A Brief Summary Of This Position" is a summary. Could go under About the role or Responsibilities? Probably Responsibilities. Then "Essential Functions" list: bullet points. Then "Other Important Details About The Role" list: many bullet points. Then "Required Qualifications of Every Candidate (Education, Experience, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities):" list. Then "Highly Qualified Candidates Will Also Possess These Qualifications" list. Then "Working Environment And Physical Efforts" description. Then "Benefits" list. Also Pay: "This position pays between $55,300 to $69,000 depending on education and experience." Schedule: Not explicitly given. No schedule details. So we should not include Schedule section. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide sections. Potential sections: - About the role (company overview and brief summary) - Responsibilities (essential functions + other important details) - Requirements (maybe combine required qualifications and highly qualified? Could separate Qualifications and Skills? But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide. We could have:

    About the role

    with company description and brief summary.

    Responsibilities

    with essential functions and other important details combined as list.

    Qualifications

    with required qualifications and highly qualified candidates.

    Skills

    maybe not needed if covered. But we have to avoid filler. We need to include Benefits section because there is content. Pay section: we have pay range. Schedule: none. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We could also include Skills if we want to separate but not needed. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Now we need to extract content. Company description: "Why Valmont We’re Here to Move the World Forward. Valmont impacts millions of people around the world every day, yet they might not realize the many ways. Our technology is helping feed the growing population, supplying the world with more reliable energy and access to renewables, enhancing connectivity in remote and urban locations to create a sustainable future and so much more. Simply put, Valmont is advancing agricultural productivity and reimagining vital infrastructure to make life better. Join a Fortune 1000 company that respects hard work, honors diversity and invests in our employees as we focus on creating the world of tomorrow, today. We are the modern workforce. Are you ready to move the world forward? Apply now." We can keep that as prose in About the role. Then "A Brief Summary Of This Position" paragraph: "This individual contributor position provides on-going assistance to Lean teams and leaders in the form of coaching, training, data management and analysis, helping with project justifications, as well as acting as a liaison between team leaders, support groups, management and other functional areas. This position identifies and communicates obstacles that may affect team performance. This position prepares and presents updates as required, performs training on lean processes and methodology, and assists other teams and team leaders as required. The majority of this position’s time is spent in interaction with others; identifying and analyzing opportunities for improvement and waste reduction. The Lean Coordinator dedicates a large amount of time utilizing lean tools to improve office admin and operational processes. The incumbent needs to have proven capabilities and past accomplishments of improving administrative jobs through the utilization of Lean tools." We can include that also in About the role or Responsibilities. Probably Responsibilities. But we already have essential functions list. Maybe better: About the role: company description only. Responsibilities: brief summary + essential functions + other important details. Qualifications: required qualifications + highly qualified candidates. Skills: maybe not needed. Benefits: list. Pay: paragraph. Now we need to format lists. Essential Functions list items: - Facilitate and coach Lean / 5S events / Standard Work events, coordinate Lean activities, including acting as a liaison between teams, support groups, management, and other functional areas, removing obstacles that may affect team performance, and assisting other teams and Lean Technicians as required - Calculate and maintain Lean-related measures, maintain records, maintain visual boards, and communicate data to relevant personnel - Create and/or Update Standard Work - Prepare and deliver weekly/monthly updates to the Management Team. - Provides Lean training as necessary - This position reports into the Plant Manager. Other Important Details About The Role list items (many): - Organization of meetings and tours for visitors - Judgment and decision making skills while comparing relative cost and benefit potential - Deductive reasoning ability to formulate answers to specific questions that make sense - Help identify employee / distribution center training needs - Collaborate with a group to reach consensus - Effectively communicate with all levels of the workforce and management - The ability to motivate, develop and direct people without having authority over them - Strong leadership, problem solving, planning skills and attention to detail with accuracy - Schedule daily workload without supervision or direction - Work quickly and efficiently with employees as well as suppliers and vendors - The ability to organize and manage multiple, simultaneous priorities and meet aggressive deadlines in a fast-paced environment - Knowledge of the material, costs, techniques and processes used within the manufacturing industry - Support capital expenditure projects as needed and may include taking the lead We can combine these into one list under Responsibilities. Now Required Qualifications list: - A demonstrated understanding of Lean principles and methodology - A working knowledge in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook - The ability to speak in front of a group of co-workers or visitors - Ability to travel up to 5% on an annual basis - Certificate or courses taken in lean up to and including an Associate degree Highly Qualified Candidates list: - Proven capabilities to improve office/administrative jobs through the utilization of lean tools - Proven facilitation/coaching skills of Improvement events, Standard Work events, SMED events, Root cause problem solving, manufacturing and administrative value stream improvement projects - A solid understanding of Center of Lean Excellence criteria - Demonstrated commitment to learning through Lean readings and available training and educational opportunities - A working knowledge in advanced Microsoft applications such as Visio, PowerPoint, Access, and SharePoint - A Lean Certification, Associate or Bachelor’s degree Working Environment And Physical Efforts description: could be part of Responsibilities? Might be better as its own section? Not in allowed headings. Could be included under Responsibilities as prose. But we have to preserve all substantive info. We could add a paragraph under Responsibilities after the list. But we must not create new headings not allowed. So we can add a

    after the list. Now Benefits list: - Healthcare (medical, prescription drugs, dental and vision) - 401k retirement plan with company match - Paid time off - Employer paid life insurance - Employer paid short-term and long-term disability including maternity leave - Work Life Support - Tuition Reimbursement up to $5,250 per year - Voluntary programs like tobacco cessation, Type 2 diabetes reversal, one-on-one health coaching, mortgage services and more Now Pay: "This position pays between $55,300 to $69,000 depending on education and experience." Now we need to output HTML. We must not include any extra text. Let's craft:
