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. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. Content: - Intro paragraph about company values etc. Could be "About Us" but not a heading we need? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should create sections based on content. We have: - Job Summary (maybe "About the role") includes description of role. - "In This Role, You Will" list of duties. - "You Will Be a Great Fit If" list of qualifications/requirements. - "Skills/abilities" line. - Location, Travel. - Compensation paragraph: "This is a full-time position as a Salas O’Brien employee. Benefits include a health insurance plan, a 401K profit sharing plan, and PTO. The position offers competitive compensation. based on candidate experience." Thus we have Benefits (health insurance, 401K profit sharing, PTO). Pay: "competitive compensation based on candidate experience" - that's vague but it's still mention of compensation. The instruction: 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. Here they state benefits and mention competitive compensation based on candidate experience. That is somewhat vague but still states compensation exists. It's not "not specified". It says competitive compensation based on candidate experience. That is specific enough? It's not a number but it's a statement. I'd include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: Not mentioned besides full-time. Could infer schedule but not explicit. The posting says "This is a full-time position". That's schedule info (full-time). Should we include Schedule section? It states full-time, which is a schedule. The instruction: only include if posting actually states them. It does state full-time. So we can include Schedule with that. Location: Could be included maybe as a short paragraph not a heading. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we can include in a

maybe after the intro. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, Third-Party Agency Notice, etc. Also remove duplicated lines: "Coordinate work with other disciplines" appears twice; we should keep only once? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicate lines are still substantive but duplicated; we should remove duplicated lines as per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should deduplicate. Now let's extract sections. First, maybe an introductory paragraph about company: "At Salas O’Brien we tell our clients that we’re engineered for impact. This passion for making a difference applies just as much to our team as it does to our projects. That’s why we’re committed to living our values every day: inspiring, achieving, and connecting as shared owners of our success with a focus on a sustainable future. Building for the long-term means that all our team members can expect to work on amazing projects with a people-first approach to problem solving. It also means that each member of our team has truly limitless potential to build a unique, meaningful, and high-impact career—and they’ll receive great total rewards along the way." That's substantive but not under a heading. Could be placed as a

before sections. Then "About Us Founded in 1975, Salas O’Brien is an employee-owned engineering and professional services firm focused on achieving impact for our clients, our team, and the world. We know that tomorrow’s requirements are today’s opportunities, and we are here to design lasting solutions for pressing challenges. We work across a variety of industries providing integrated engineering and consulting services. Our specialized experience includes design for data centers, healthcare, science and technology, high-rise buildings, clean energy, education, and other building types as well as structural and building sciences, infrastructure asset management, advanced robotics, and more. Our technical expertise is paired with an exceptional team of business development, human resources, finance and accounting, information technology, and marketing professionals, all of whom play a key role in bringing our commitments to life every day." That's also substantive; could be placed as a

maybe under "About the company"? But we only have headings list; we could treat this as part of introductory content. Then "Job Summary The Mechanical Engineer/Designer serves to focus on the design of mechanical systems for new facilities, additions, and renovation projects. This will require providing technical design for the creation of construction drawings and specifications, and existing system studies. Qualified candidates will meet with clients, project teams, code officials, contractors, and others to address mechanical issues to develop effective working relationships. The project clientele includes K-12 Education, Higher Education, Commercial, Health Care, Science and Technology, municipal, and institutional facilities." That's role summary; could be under "About the role". Then "In This Role, You Will" list: bullet points. Then "You Will Be a Great Fit If" list: qualifications. Then "Skills/abilities Must have strong verbal and written communications skills in design and specifications" Then "Location: Richmond, VA Travel: Less than 10%" Then compensation/benefits paragraph. Now we need to produce HTML with

headings for sections we include. Potential sections: - About the role (Job Summary) - Responsibilities (In This Role, You Will) - Requirements (You Will Be a Great Fit If) - Skills (Skills/abilities) - Benefits (health insurance, 401K profit sharing, PTO) - Pay (competitive compensation based on candidate experience) - Schedule (full-time) We could also include Location/Travel as a short

after maybe Benefits or as its own section? Not in headings list; we can just include as a

. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, Third-Party Agency Notice. Now let's craft content. First, intro paragraph(s) about company values and About Us. Could combine into one

maybe two. We need to preserve all substantive information; we should not omit any details from About Us etc. Thus we will include:
