EngineeringFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits. No explicit Pay or Schedule details beyond travel expectation. Travel is mentioned but not schedule. So we should not create Schedule or Pay sections unless they have specific content. Travel expectation is mentioned but not a schedule; we could maybe include under Benefits? Not appropriate. Probably we omit Pay and Schedule. We need to include headings: About the role (maybe from description), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. However we need to avoid duplication. The posting includes "The Opportunity" which is about role. Then "How You Will Impact Smurfit Westrock" which is responsibilities. Then "What You Need To Succeed" includes requirements, qualifications, skills. Then "What We Offer" includes benefits. We need to extract content and put into appropriate sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Manager, Technical Services (Color Management). Also no Job ID. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is EEO statement and drug screening. Those are boilerplate; we should remove them. Also "Candidates are required to undergo a drug screening..." and EEO statement. Remove. Also remove duplicated lines like travel expectation appears twice; we should keep once maybe in responsibilities? Actually travel expectation is in description and also in "What You Need To Succeed". It's a requirement. We should keep it but not duplicate. We'll include travel expectation under Requirements or maybe under Responsibilities? It's a requirement: Ability to travel as needed. We'll include in Requirements. Now let's parse content. Description & Requirements intro: "Smurfit Westrock (NYSE:SW) is the go-to leader and partner of choice in sustainable packaging. We are dedicated to creating efficient and scalable paper and packaging solutions to help solve complex packaging challenges. Guided by our values of safety, loyalty, integrity and respect, we are committed to delivering meaningful value for shareholders, customers, employees and the communities where we operate. Travel is expected to be up to 50% of time. It will mainly be in the US and Canada, but it could involve some international travel." That's about the company and travel expectation. Could be part of About the role? Probably About the role includes overview of role and company. We'll put that in About the role. Then "Position Title: Manager, Technical Services (Color Management) Department: Technical Services Supervisor: Director of Technical Services Work Location: Work from home, with travel to manufacturing facilities as required" - we should not repeat job title as heading, but we can include this metadata in a short

    maybe under About the role? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with position title, department, supervisor, work location. That's minor metadata. We'll include as a p. Then "The Opportunity The Manager, Technical Services (Color Management) leads color management, print quality, and process control support across manufacturing operations. This role advances Global Color Excellence by helping facilities implement and sustain consistent standards, measurement practices, workflows, and training programs. Working closely with North American Prepress, Pressroom Support, Operations, Quality, Sales, and customer-facing teams, the position supports 30 + manufacturing facilities through technical leadership, facility assessments, gap analysis, troubleshooting, process improvement, certifications, consumables support, and software utilization. This role is focused on improving consistency, building plant capability, and sustaining division-wide print quality expectations through data-driven decision making and standardized processes." That's responsibilities overview. We'll put under Responsibilities. Then "How You Will Impact Smurfit Westrock" bullet list of responsibilities. We'll combine with above maybe as a list under Responsibilities. Let's extract each bullet: - Lead deployment and continuous improvement of the Global Color Excellence program. - Develop and maintain color management standards, print quality specifications, measurement methods, and operating procedures. - Conduct facility assessments and gap analyses to identify opportunities for improved print quality, process capability, and operational consistency. - Provide technical leadership and support to manufacturing facilities, customers, and internal teams. - Lead troubleshooting efforts, root cause analysis, corrective actions, and continuous improvement initiatives related to print quality and process performance. - Standardize workflows, measurement practices, reporting methods, and best practices across facilities. - Partner with site leadership to identify, prioritize, and close performance gaps while sustaining improvements. - Build plant capability by coaching local teams to use standardized tools, procedures, and data to manage color performance independently. - Monitor quality metrics and key performance indicators to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement. - Support customer meetings, product qualifications, project reviews, approval processes, and new business development activities. - Lead technical projects from planning through implementation, including readiness assessments, timelines, risks, milestones, and performance measurements. - Develop and deliver training programs on color management, process control, print quality, industry standards, and best practices. - Provide technical leadership and mentoring to specialists and site personnel through coaching, collaboration, and influence. - Work with equipment manufacturers, software providers, industry organizations, and external partners to evaluate and implement new technologies and workflows. - Stay current on industry standards, emerging technologies, market trends, and best practices related to color management and print quality. That's a list. Now "What You Need To Succeed" includes: - Bachelor's degree, technical degree, or equivalent experience. - 5+ years of experience in color management, with demonstrated expertise in technical services, manufacturing, quality systems, and process improvement. - Expertise in color management, G7, Extended Color Gamut (ECG), process control, and print quality systems. - Knowledge of MeasureColor, ColorCert, pressSIGN, spectrophotometry, and related print quality technologies. - Experience with technical assessments, gap analyses, and improvement planning. - Project and change management experience. - Ability to lead cross-functional teams, build alignment, and influence change across multiple facilities. - Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. - Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills. - Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across functional teams. - Commitment to Smurfit Westrock Values and Behaviors. - Commitment to all safety policies, procedures, and personal protective equipment requirements. - Ability to travel as needed to support facilities, customers, and business initiatives. - Travel is expected to be up to 50% of time. It will mainly be in the US and Canada, but it could involve some international travel. We need to separate into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills maybe. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide what goes where. Typically: Requirements = education/experience minimum. Qualifications = specific expertise/knowledge. Skills = abilities like analytical, communication, etc. But we can also combine. We need to avoid thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we have headings available; we could use Requirements for education/experience, Qualifications for technical expertise, Skills for soft skills. That seems reasonable. Let's parse: Education/Experience: - Bachelor's degree, technical degree, or equivalent experience. - 5+ years of experience in color management, with demonstrated expertise in technical services, manufacturing, quality systems, and process improvement. Technical expertise/Knowledge: - Expertise in color management, G7, Extended Color Gamut (ECG), process control, and print quality systems. - Knowledge of MeasureColor, ColorCert, pressSIGN, spectrophotometry, and related print quality technologies. - Experience with technical assessments, gap analyses, and improvement planning. - Project and change management experience. Abilities/Skills: - Ability to lead cross-functional teams, build alignment, and influence change across multiple facilities. - Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. - Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills. - Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across functional teams. - Commitment to Smurfit Westrock Values and Behaviors. - Commitment to all safety policies, procedures, and personal protective equipment requirements. - Ability to travel as needed to support facilities, customers, and business initiatives. - Travel is expected to be up to 50% of time. It will mainly be in the US and Canada, but it could involve some international travel. Travel expectation maybe part of Requirements but we can keep under Skills/Abilities. Now Benefits section from "What We Offer": - Corporate culture based on integrity, respect, accountability, and excellence - Comprehensive training with numerous learning and development opportunities - Competitive salary reflecting skills, competencies, and potential - A career with a global packaging company where sustainability, safety, and inclusion are foundational to how we operate - Competitive total rewards package including medical, dental, and vision coverage options starting on your first day - Health Savings Account (HSA) with company contributions and flexible spending account (FSA) options - 401(k) retirement plan with company match and automatic contributions to support your long-term financial goals - Company-paid life insurance and disability coverage for financial protection - Mental health support and wellness programs designed to promote overall well-being - Generous paid time off, including company holidays, vacation, and paid parental leave - Tuition reimbursement and ongoing learning and development opportunities - Additional voluntary benefits such as legal services, identity protection, pet insurance, and more We should not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

    and content. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. We'll include a short p for metadata after About the role maybe. Let's structure:
