for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate etc. Include a section only when posting has real specific content; never emit heading with filler placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the job posting.
Key sections:
- About the role: description paragraph: "Join our team as a Mechanical Designer, where you will be pivotal in providing drafting and design work using SolidWorks and AutoCAD. You will have the opportunity to understand and contribute to the function and design of our diverse product lines. Collaborate with our design team to create and refine new and existing equipment, produce detailed drawings for manufacturing and field assembly, and ensure all standards and best practices are applied."
- Responsibilities: list bullet points: Provide drafting and design (CAD) work using SolidWorks and AutoCAD.; Understand the function and design of product lines.; Collaborate with the design team on new and existing equipment.; Produce equipment models and detailed drawings for manufacturing and field assembly.; Review and accurately update drawings created by others.; Apply drafting standards and best practices.; Participate in peer review processes by reviewing models and drawings.; Occasionally travel to job sites.; Perform other duties as assigned.
- Essential Skills: list: Proficient in AutoCAD and SolidWorks.; Minimum of three years of designer experience.; Two-year drafting and design technical certificate, degree, or equivalent.; Experience with mechanical design.; Ability to take initiative and work with minimal supervision.; Familiarity with engineering change notice and ERP systems.
- Additional Skills & Qualifications: list: Knowledge of PDM and ERP software.; Experience in agriculture, material handling, material blending, or the fertilizer industry.; Qualities such as productivity, dependability, resourcefulness, efficiency, and professionalism.
- Work Environment: description: "The role is office-based, supporting computer design with occasional trips to the shop floor. The work schedule is Monday to Friday, from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM. The office is located upstairs, within the engineering department. The work environment is relaxed, with a culture that encourages wearing jeans and t-shirts. We engage in fun activities, such as tournaments and catered lunches, offering a unique opportunity to develop projects and witness your results firsthand as machines are tested before shipping."
- Job Type & Location: "This is a Permanent position based out of Dakota City, IA."
- Pay And Benefits: "The pay range for this position is $60000.00 - $60000.00/yr. Individual compensation offered for this position within this range will depend on many factors, including qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors. 401k, health, dental, vision"
- Workplace Type: "This is a fully onsite position in Dakota City,IA."
- Application Deadline: "This position is anticipated to close on Sep 27, 2026."
- About Actalent: description about company.
We need to decide which sections to include. The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
Thus we need to include sections only if they have real specific content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Essential Skills (maybe Skills), Additional Skills & Qualifications (maybe Qualifications), Work Environment (maybe Schedule?), Job Type & Location (maybe location?), Pay And Benefits (Pay and Benefits), Workplace Type (maybe location again?), Application Deadline (maybe minor metadata?), About Actalent (maybe About the company? Not required but could be included as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is separate from company description. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content to these headings.
- About the role: description paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list.
- Requirements: maybe combine Essential Skills? The posting has "Essential Skills" and "Additional Skills & Qualifications". Could treat "Requirements" as essential skills, and "Qualifications" as additional skills? Or "Skills" as essential skills? The headings list includes Skills separate from Requirements and Qualifications. We need to decide.
We have "Essential Skills" (list). Could map to "Skills". "Additional Skills & Qualifications" could map to "Qualifications". "Requirements" maybe not needed if we already have Skills and Qualifications. But we could include Requirements as a short paragraph about minimum experience etc. However we must avoid filler. The posting includes "Minimum of three years of designer experience." etc. That's part of Essential Skills. So we could put that under Skills.
We have Work Environment includes schedule (Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM). That's schedule info. So we could create a Schedule section with that detail. Also location info could be in About the role? But we have Job Type & Location and Workplace Type. Could combine location info maybe under About the role? But better to have a separate section? The allowed headings do not include Location explicitly. Could fold location into About the role or maybe under "About the role" we can include location? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So location could be minor metadata, we could fold into a short
maybe under About the role or at end. But we also have Pay and Benefits section definitely needed because pay range is given.
We also have Benefits: 401k, health, dental, vision.
Thus we need sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities (list), Skills (essential skills list), Qualifications (additional skills & qualifications list), Pay (pay range), Benefits (benefits list), Schedule (work schedule). Possibly also Work Environment? But schedule covers schedule; work environment description could be part of About the role? Could add a separate section? Not in allowed headings list. Could incorporate into About the role as prose.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to ensure each heading has real specific content.
Let's extract:
About the role: The initial paragraph.
Responsibilities: list as above.
Skills: Essential Skills list.
Qualifications: Additional Skills & Qualifications list.
Pay: The pay range statement.
Benefits: "401k, health, dental, vision"
Schedule: "Monday to Friday, from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM."
We also might include location as a short paragraph maybe under About the role or separate? Not required but we could add a short
after About the role: "Location: Dakota City, IA. Permanent, fully onsite." But that might be considered minor metadata; we could fold into About the role as a sentence.
But we must not repeat job title as heading. That's fine.
We must not include boilerplate like About Actalent, EEO, etc. So we omit that.
We also must not include Application Deadline (maybe minor metadata). Could fold into a short
but instruction says remove application instructions. The deadline is not an instruction but could be considered metadata. Might be okay to include as a short
but not as a heading. Safer to drop it.
