Maintenance Technician - SLA
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statements, diversity statements, legal, etc. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to keep substantive info: role description, responsibilities, requirements, benefits, pay, schedule. Also note ITAR citizenship requirement is substantive? It's a requirement about eligibility. Should we include? It's a requirement; we can include under Requirements maybe. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. So include that as a requirement.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract:
Intro: "Be yourself at Protolabs Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We are an equal opportunity employer, and we are committed to building a diverse team that feels they are valued in the workplace. So do you feel you do not meet every single requirement but still intrigued? We encourage you to still apply! You can help make our company even better. We do not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, age, mental or physical ability, or any way you represent yourself. We strongly believe diversity makes for more successful teams." This is EEO/diversity boilerplate; we should remove it as per instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we drop that.
Next: "Why Protolabs? We are the leaders in digital manufacturing. We hire doers, makers, and creative thinkers who tackle our roles with an entrepreneurial spirit. Our culture is centered around meaningful work that brings new and innovative products to market at unprecedented speeds. We are a diverse team that comes from all walks of life and take pride in our team who is smart, genuine, humble, and passionate about what we do. It’s our people who fuel our creativity and make our culture feel like home." This is about company culture; could be "About the role" or "About Protolabs". We can put under "About the role" maybe.
Then: "Join our team as a Maintenance Technician - SLA Shift: Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm". This includes shift schedule. We'll have a Schedule section.
Then: "The Maintenance Technician ensures the safe, efficient operation of production and support equipment by performing preventive maintenance, repairs, calibrations, and troubleshooting according to schedules, work instructions, and direction from the Supervisor or Production Manager. This role coordinates and communicates required downtime with supervisors and scheduling teams, follows LOTO/OSHA and Protolabs safety and quality procedures, and maintains accurate maintenance documentation. The Technician also partners with Engineering to identify and implement reliability improvements, design or fabricate parts to enhance performance, and execute experiments to determine root causes of build failures." This is role description; could be part of About the role.
Then "What You Will Do" list: bullet points.
Then "What You Bring": list.
Then "What Sets You Apart": list.
Then "What's In It For You": benefits list.
Then "$24.10 - $32.20 an hour" plus note about compensation mix.
Then ITAR requirement: "Due to ITAR regulations, this role is only open to U.S. Citizens, lawful permanent residents (green card holders) or foreign nationals granted refugee or asylee status. Individuals with temporary visas (e.g. E, F-1, H-1, H-2, L, B, J, TN or OPT) are not eligible for hire in this role."
Also "Proto Labs maintains ITAR-compliant operations in all of our United States based facilities." Might be redundant.
Also "Physical Demands" and "Work Environment" sections: these are substantive? They describe physical demands and work environment. Should we include? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Physical Demands and Work Environment have specific content. So we could include sections for Physical Demands and Work Environment. However we need to decide headings: maybe "Physical Demands" and "Work Environment". Use
. Use
for prose.
But we also have Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Physical Demands and Work Environment into a "Working Conditions" section? But better to follow typical headings: Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Physical Demands and Work Environment could be under Requirements or a separate section. However they are not exactly requirements; they are job conditions. Could be under "Working Conditions". But we need to decide.
Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections, we could have: About the role (intro + role description), Responsibilities (What You Will Do), Requirements (What You Bring + What Sets You Apart + ITAR eligibility), Benefits (What's In It For You), Pay (hourly range), Schedule (Shift). That's six sections. Could we combine About the role and Responsibilities? But they'd be separate headings.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't have a heading for "Maintenance Technician". Good.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll produce something like:

We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO statements. We removed them. Also we removed duplicated lines. Check for any leftover like "Proto Labs maintains ITAR-compliant operations in all of our United States based facilities." We omitted that; it's not essential but could be considered substantive. However it's somewhat redundant with ITAR statement. Might be okay to omit. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Is that line substantive? It's a statement about ITAR-compliant operations. It's not a requirement but could be considered info. However we already have ITAR eligibility statement. The line about ITAR-compliant operations is extra detail. Should we include? It's not a requirement but it's info about the company. Could be included under About the role maybe. But we already have a lot. To be safe, we could include it in About the role paragraph after the role description. Let's add a sentence: "Proto Labs maintains ITAR-compliant operations in all of its United States based facilities." That is substantive.
Add to About the role paragraph after the role description.
Now check for any other substantive info: "Physical Demands" and "Work Environment" we omitted. Are they substantive? Yes they describe physical demands and work environment. Should we include? The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. They have specific content. So we should include them. But we prefer few sections; we could add a section "Working Conditions" that combines Physical Demands and Work Environment. However the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay,
