We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Education Required, Minimum Requirements, Licenses, Certifications, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities maybe), Benefits (Wage Summary, Shift Differential, maybe also mention wage progression), Pay (maybe we can include wage details under Benefits? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content. So we need to decide which sections have content.
We have:
- Position Summary: Under general supervision, performs routine service... etc. That's About the role.
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions list.
- Requirements: Education Required, Minimum Requirements, Licenses, Certifications and/or Testing Required, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities.
- Benefits: Wage Summary (entry wage, standard wage, step progression, shift differential). Also maybe mention promotional increase to Mechanic II and Sr. Mechanic? That's more career progression but could be part of Benefits or Qualifications. We'll include wage details under Benefits.
- Pay: Could be separate but we already have wage details; maybe we can put Pay section with wage details and Benefits separate for other benefits (but there are no other benefits like health, retirement). The posting does not mention other benefits. So we could either combine Pay and Benefits or just have Pay section with wage details and maybe Benefits empty? But we must not emit empty sections. So we need to decide: either we have a Benefits section with wage summary and shift differential, and we omit Pay (since no separate pay info). Or we have Pay section with wage details and Benefits omitted. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine wage info into Benefits (or Pay). Since they gave examples of Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have schedule info: Full-Time, Shift Mon-Fri; 2nd Shift. That's schedule. So we can have Schedule section.
Thus sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (education, min req, licenses, KSA), Benefits (wage summary, shift differential, maybe career progression), Schedule (full-time, mon-fri, 2nd shift). Also maybe Qualifications? But we already have Requirements covering qualifications. We'll not duplicate.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: OAC EXTERNAL POSITION POSTING DATES POSTED: 09/25 - 10/09/2026, Job Code, etc. Also remove EEO, application instructions, etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from position summary, essential functions, education, minimum requirements, licenses, certifications, knowledge skills abilities, wage summary (including steps, shift differential, promotional increase to Mechanic II and Sr. Mechanic), schedule.
We need to format as HTML: use

We need to format as HTML: use for headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We need to decide what to list as
- . For responsibilities (essential functions) we have many bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We'll turn each sentence into
- . For requirements we can have sub-sections? Not required to have subheadings inside; we can just list items.
But we need to preserve all info; we can group into paragraphs if not list.
Simplify: For each section, we can have a
summarizing prose, and then a
for list items.
Let's extract content.
