We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Job Summary" then "Essential Duties/Responsibilities" etc. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Duties/Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Requirements), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (Additional Knowledge, Skills And Abilities). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present. Working Conditions: maybe we could put under "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings; we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? The instruction says use those headings only; we can add other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but likely we should stick to those. Working Conditions could be part of About the role or maybe we can create a "Working Conditions" heading but not in list; but better to incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities. We'll include a short paragraph for Working Conditions maybe under About the role. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, drug testing, etc. Also remove "Level, Title and/or Salary may be adjusted..." etc. Also remove "Official description on file with Talent." Also remove AI tools note. Also remove "NRG Energy is committed..." etc. Also remove "Physical Requirements" maybe we can keep? It's substantive but not in allowed headings; maybe we can include under Requirements? But it's about physical requirements; could be part of Requirements. We'll include as a paragraph under Requirements. We need to preserve all substantive information: job summary, duties, responsibilities, minimum requirements, preferred qualifications, additional knowledge/skills/abilities, working conditions (hybrid position in Houston, TX, minimal travel, occasional overtime). Also maybe include "Physical Requirements" as part of Requirements. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details verbatim or close. We'll produce HTML:
