We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc." maybe that's intro. 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 must include sections only if posting has real specific content. We need to parse content: - Intro: "Career Area Manufacturing Job Description Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc. When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do – but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it." That's about company; could be "About the role" or maybe "About Caterpillar". But headings list includes "About the role". We'll use that. - Role Definition: "We are looking for an organized, self-starting leader to join our team as a 1st Shift Production Manager at LPSD's Fuel Systems Operations in Pontiac, IL. This role is accountable for providing daily direction and organizational leadership for hourly associates in Machining, Assembly, and Test value streams. As a production manager in this role, you will be leading a group of up to 30 machining, assembly, and test technicians to drive improvements in a very dynamic and exciting work environment. You will oversee and coordinate the activities of a more complex production line, prepare schedules, resolve issues, and ensure adherence to safety and quality standards. This role will help to own value stream budgets, resource allocation, staffing strategies and relentless pursuit of our SPQVC excellence." That seems like responsibilities. Could be "Responsibilities". - What You Will Do: bullet list of duties: Create reports..., Prepare..., Supervise..., Train..., etc. That's responsibilities. - What Skills You Have: list of skill categories with descriptions. That's "Skills". - Top Candidates May Have: Bachelor’s degree..., Knowledge of machining..., Knowledge of mechanical assembly..., Previous manufacturing experience..., Previous leadership experience. That's "Qualifications" or "Requirements". We'll treat as "Qualifications". - Additional Information: shift schedule, onsite, relocation, visa sponsorship not available, etc. That's "Schedule" and maybe "Benefits"? There's also "Summary Pay Range" and "Compensation and benefits offered may vary..." then "Benefits Subject to plan eligibility..." list of benefits. So we have Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We must not include sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay range and benefits list. 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 include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc. Remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract content: Intro paragraph(s): "Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc. When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do – but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it." We can put that under

    About the role

    maybe. Role Definition paragraph: "We are looking for an organized, self-starting leader to join our team as a 1st Shift Production Manager at LPSD's Fuel Systems Operations in Pontiac, IL.

You will oversee and coordinate the activities of a more complex production line, prepare schedules, resolve issues, and ensure adherence to safety and quality standards. This role will help to own value stream budgets, resource allocation, staffing strategies and relentless pursuit of our SPQVC excellence." That could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. Since we have separate "What You Will Do" for duties, we can treat Role Definition as overview under About the role. Then "What You Will Do" list: - Create reports and records of production processes, tools issues performance, and inventory; share them with managers and provide suggestions to improve safety, productivity and quality. - Prepare, maintain, and update documentation related to operating procedures and safety and quality standards; ensure all processes and products meet desired safety and quality standards. - Supervise and direct the daily activities of production lines workers, assign tasks, ensure coordination between different teams, ensure their safety and monitor their performance. - Train new hires, manage scheduling and work conflicts, monitor safety, and promote internal communication to create a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement.
