We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from overview, duties, who we are, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule.
We must not include application instructions, screening process, EEO, etc.
Let's extract:

Who We Are: paragraph about Multnomah County Transportation Division managing roads, bridges, culverts, goals, department mission, etc. Also mention department diversity, workforce equity, inclusive workplace, benefits package.
We could combine Who Are and Benefits into sections: maybe "About the Department" and "Benefits". But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instructions say use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those headings if we have content. We can choose which sections to include based on content.
We have content for About the role? Could be overview + who we are. Could put under "About the role". Responsibilities: duties list. Requirements: maybe combine minimum qualifications and preferred qualifications? Could have Requirements and Qualifications separate but we can combine if needed. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including both min and pref), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no h3 for Maintenance Specialist 1.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Current employees: Please apply through the employee portal". Remove that.
Also remove "Closing Date (Open Until Filled If No Date Specified) October 06, 2026". Remove.
Remove "Only apply for this position once..." etc.
Remove "Overview" heading? We will use our own headings.
