Machinist II
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate (EEO, etc). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to parse the content. Content: - About Kennametal: description of company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Kennametal" is about company, not role. But we can treat as "About the role"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content to these headings where appropriate. We have: Job Description paragraph: describes responsibilities: supporting and maintaining building and equipment, interacting in high pace environment, repairing issues, making fixture, developing tooling, problem solving, training under senior machinist, using CNC Lathes and Mills, supporting other areas making tooling and fixturing. Rewards And Benefits: includes competitive pay, shift premium $2.00/hr for 2nd Shift, medical/dental/vision/life insurance starts day one, PTO accrual prorated, 4 floating holidays, 7 company holidays per year, up to 6% company match to 401(k), employee discounts, parental leave, other benefits, annual safety shoe stipend. Skills Sets/Requirements: list of skills: Efficiently Machining, CNC machining & programming - Lathes, Mills, EDM and Grinders, Various controls systems – Fanuc, Haas, Siemens, ProTrack, Manual machining & programming – Lathes, Mills, and Grinders, SAP PM or comparable CMMS Systems, Email / Microsoft Office, Master Cam / CAD / Solid Works / Blueprint reading, Measurement tools – Calipers, Micrometers, Indicators, Welding – Tig, Mig, Arc & Orbital, Work in Metric or English measurements, Fabrication, Welding - Arc, MIG, TIG and Orbital, Plasma Cutting, Metal shaping and bending. Job Requirements: bullet points: High School diploma or GED, Completion of a Machinist or Tool & Die training program preferred, Four (4) years of experience working as a Machinist or Tool & Die marker preferred, Ability to understand instructions, follow plant processes and procedures, plan, coordinate, and direct their work while prioritizing efforts, Must be flexible to work overtime including Saturdays, Participation in the Spill Response program is required. Work Environment: Environment with controlled temperatures and dust collection systems. Safety glasses with side-shields required. Safety shoes required. Cut resistant gloves when necessary. Physical Demands: Approximately 8 hours standing/ walking with two break opportunities per eight-hour work period. Frequent reaching, climbing, and bending. Lifting up to thirty-three (33) pounds. Problem Solving: Gather and analyze information, utilize learned skills, and critical reasoning to develop options and solve moderate to complex problems. EEO line: Kennametal Inc. is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. Remove. We also have shift timing: "Machinist II 2nd Shift - 3:00 pm - 11:00 pm". This is schedule info. Should be included in Schedule section. Pay: "competitive pay" and shift premium $2.00/hr for 2nd Shift. So we can include Pay section with that. Benefits: as described. Skills: we have a list of skill sets. Requirements: we have job requirements (education, experience, etc). Could be separate Requirements section. Qualifications: maybe combine with Requirements? But we can have Requirements and Qualifications separate if content distinct. The posting has "Job Requirements:" and also "Skills Sets/Requirements". The skills list could be under Skills. The job requirements could be under Requirements. We also have "About Kennametal" which is about company; could be placed under "About the role"? But it's about company not role. However we could still include an "About the role" heading with that content? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. It doesn't forbid using About the role for company overview. Probably acceptable. We need to avoid empty sections. So we will include sections: About the role (company overview), Responsibilities (job description), Skills (skill sets), Requirements (job requirements), Benefits, Pay, Schedule, Work Environment, Physical Demands, Problem Solving? The instruction list didn't include Work Environment, Physical Demands, Problem Solving but we can still include if content exists? The instruction says use headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. But we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. However we need to preserve all substantive information. We could combine some: Work Environment, Physical Demands, Problem Solving could be part of Responsibilities or Requirements? But they are distinct. Might be okay to include them as separate sections if they have substantive content. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should try to combine where logical.
We could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Then we could embed Work Environment, Physical Demands, Problem Solving within Responsibilities or Requirements. But they are not exactly responsibilities. Could be under "Working Conditions". But not in list. Might be okay to add a section "Working Conditions" but not in examples. Safer to stick to the given headings and incorporate details there.
Let's map:
- About the role: Kennametal description.
- Responsibilities: job description paragraph (supporting/maintaining building/equipment, interacting, repairing, making fixture, developing tooling, problem solving, training under senior machinist, using CNC Lathes/Mills, supporting other areas making tooling/fixturing). Also maybe include problem solving bullet? Could include.
- Skills: the skill sets list.
- Requirements: education, experience, ability to understand instructions, flexibility for overtime, spill response participation.
- Benefits: rewards and benefits list.
- Pay: competitive pay + shift premium $2.00/hr.
- Schedule: shift timing (2nd Shift 3:00 pm - 11:00 pm).
We also have Work Environment, Physical Demands, Problem Solving. Could incorporate into Responsibilities (problem solving) and maybe Requirements (physical demands?). But physical demands is more about working conditions. Could be part of Responsibilities? Not ideal. However we could add a section "Working Conditions" but not in examples. The instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding extra sections may be considered thin. Better to incorporate.
We can incorporate Physical Demands into Responsibilities as part of job duties? Not exactly. Could incorporate into Requirements as "Physical ability to stand/walk 8 hours, lift up to 33 lbs, etc." That seems plausible as a requirement.
Work Environment could be part of Responsibilities or Requirements as "Work in environment with controlled temperatures and dust collection systems; safety glasses, shoes, gloves required."
Problem Solving could be part of Responsibilities.
Thus we can keep sections as above.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
