Machinist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Who We Are", "Position Summary", "Essential Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Knowledge And Skills", "Physical Requirements", "Performance Expectations", "Work Environment", "Benefits Of Working With Associated Materials", "About Us". Also maybe "Additional Information" but that includes compensation note and EEO etc which we should drop (EEO boilerplate). Also "Click to learn more about benefits." is application instruction? Should drop. Also "Additional Information" includes compensation note (actual wage based on factors) - that's pay info? It says actual wage offered will be based on multiple factors... Not a specific number, but it's pay info. The rule: include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does not give a specific wage or range, just says based on factors. That is vague; we should not create Pay section because it's not a specific statement. The rule: 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. Here they say "Competitive Wage" under Benefits. That's a benefit statement. So we can include Benefits section with bullet points: Competitive Wage, Opportunity for growth, Long standing business model..., Premier company culture, Medical/Dental/Vision, 401K Matching, Paid Time Off, Holiday Pay, Discount programs. That's from "Benefits Of Working With Associated Materials". Also maybe "About Us" is a section; we can include as About the company? The rule: use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but we can use other headings as appropriate. Likely we should use headings matching content: About the role? But we have "Who We Are" and "Position Summary". Could combine? Probably better to have sections: About the role (maybe from Who We Are + Position Summary). Responsibilities (Essential Responsibilities). Requirements (Qualifications). Skills (Knowledge And Skills). Physical Requirements maybe as its own? Could be part of Requirements? But we can keep separate if substantive. Performance Expectations maybe as its own? Work Environment. Benefits. About Us maybe as About the company. The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So they expect those exact headings? It says e.g., meaning examples. But we should follow the spirit: use those headings when applicable. We have content for About the role (Who We Are + Position Summary). Responsibilities (Essential Responsibilities). Requirements (Qualifications). Skills (Knowledge And Skills). Benefits (Benefits Of Working...). Pay? Not specific. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we omit Pay and Schedule. Also we could include Physical Requirements as maybe part of Requirements? But we could add a section "Physical Requirements" if we want, but not in the examples. Safer to stick to the given headings. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; if we omit Physical Requirements, we lose that info. So we need to include it somewhere. Could incorporate into Requirements or a separate section but we must not invent headings not in examples? The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those for those categories. Could we add a Physical Requirements heading? It's not in the list but could be considered a subsection of Requirements. Might be okay to include as a subsection under Requirements using

or

. But we need to preserve the info. Could embed Physical Requirements as a

under Requirements. Similarly Performance Expectations could be under Responsibilities or a separate section? Might be okay to include as a

under Responsibilities. Work Environment could be under Responsibilities or a separate section? Might be okay as its own heading but not in examples. Safer to create a section "Work Environment" as h3 even if not in examples? The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say you cannot use other headings, but the examples are typical. I'd include Work Environment as h3 because it's substantive. Similarly About Us could be h3. But we risk violating "use h3 for section headings (e.g ...)" maybe they expect only those headings. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should combine where possible. Let's think: We can have sections: - About the role (combining Who We Are + Position Summary + About Us? Actually About Us is company overview, could be part of About the role.) - Responsibilities (Essential Responsibilities + Performance Expectations? maybe separate) - Requirements (Qualifications + Knowledge And Skills + Physical Requirements) - Benefits (Benefits Of Working With Associated Materials) That's four sections. That seems reasonable and preserves all info. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, Click to learn more about benefits, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information: Let's extract. Who We Are paragraph: "Join the Associated Materials Innovations team at Associated Materials, LLC, and be AMazing with us! Who We Are At Associated Materials Innovations, we combine our rich history in innovation with an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement of the customer experience. For decades, we have provided vinyl windows, siding, and metal building products that have helped build homes and communities across North America. As a leading manufacturer of exterior building products and preferred product manufacturer for Alside, you'll have the opportunity to contribute ideas in a welcoming and supportive work environment driven by safety and our core values. Join the AMI team where you can be AMazing as we shape our future together." Position Summary: "The Manual Machinist / Tooling Specialist is responsible for the fabrication, repair, modification, maintenance, and sharpening of tooling and components used in the vinyl siding extrusion manufacturing process.

The Manual Machinist / Tooling Specialist must be capable of independently determining machining methods, selecting appropriate tooling and materials, interpreting drawings and measurements, and producing accurate replacement parts and tooling to support plant operations." We can combine these into About the role section prose. Essential Responsibilities: a long list of bullet-like sentences each starting with a verb. We need to turn into

  • . Each sentence is a responsibility. We'll extract each line.
