Mechanical Engineer (Hydropower).
for sections present: Duties (maybe "Responsibilities"? The posting says Duties; we can map to "Responsibilities" as heading? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those headings if content matches. The posting has "Duties" which is essentially Responsibilities. So we can use Responsibilities
. Then "Requirements" heading: there is "Conditions of employment" etc. That's requirements. Then "Qualifications" heading: there is "Qualifications" section. Also maybe "Skills"? Not explicit. Benefits? There's a paragraph about benefits but not specific details; it's generic. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It says "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's generic, not specific. So we should not create Benefits section. Pay? Not specific. Schedule? Not specific (only mentions TDY 5% travel). That's not schedule. Could we include Schedule? Not explicit. So we will output sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
. We need to parse the duties paragraph into list items? The duties are a long sentence with multiple responsibilities separated by periods. We can split into list items each representing a duty. Similarly requirements: conditions of employment list items. Qualifications: we have many subpoints; we can make list.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must strip boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some boilerplate at end about benefits, reasonable accommodation, etc. Some of that may be considered boilerplate but also contains substantive info about benefits (generic) and reasonable accommodation (procedural). The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The reasonable accommodation section seems like procedural instructions; might be considered application instructions? It's about requesting RA for assessments. That could be considered application instructions. Safer to remove it. Also the final paragraph about candidates should be committed... that's generic fluff; maybe remove as boilerplate. Also the sentence about "Selection is subject to restrictions resulting from Department of Defense referral system for displaced employees." That's maybe requirement? Could be considered requirement. But it's more about selection process; maybe keep as requirement? It's not a duty or qualification. Might be considered requirement. However it's somewhat boilerplate. I'd keep it under Requirements as a note.
We need to preserve all substantive information: duties, conditions of employment, qualifications details.
Let's extract duties:
"Serve as senior Mechanical Engineer responsible for a variety of functions in support of the large hydropower plants, fish passage systems, spillways, and other features at all locations of multiple use projects.
Uses extensive knowledge of on-site facilities to troubleshoot complex problems and issues.
Has a thorough understanding of all aspects of hydropower generating equipment.

We'll make each as

This position has a Temporary Duty (TDY) or business travel requirement of 5% of the time."
Also maybe include "Selection is subject to restrictions resulting from Department of Defense referral system for displaced employees." and "Direct deposit of pay is required." Those are conditions of employment? Could be.
We'll include them as list items.
Qualifications: The section is long. We need to capture all substantive info: Who May Apply list (categories), Basic Requirement for Mechanical Engineer (Hydropower) with education options, Combination of Education and Experience, In Addition To Meeting The Basic Requirement Above, To Qualify For This Position You Must Also Meet The Qualification Requirements Listed Below: Specialized Experience: ... Time in Grade Requirement: ... Education FOREIGN EDUCATION: ... Additional information Male applicants born after December 31, 1959, must complete a Pre-Employment Certification Statement for Selective Service Registration. You will be required to provide proof of U.S. Citizenship. This position requires a 1 year probationary period during which the agency evaluates your fitness and whether your continued employment advances the public interest. ... Direct deposit of pay is required. Selection is subject to restrictions resulting from Department of Defense referral system for displaced employees. If you have retired from federal service and you are interested in employment as a reemployed annuitant, see the information in the This is a(n) Engineers and Scientists (Non-Construction) Career Field position. Multiple positions may be filled from this announcement. Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement. When you perform a Civilian Permanent Change of Station (PCS) with the government, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers the majority of your entitlements to be taxable. Visit Payment of Permanent Change of Station (PCS) costs is not authorized, based on a determination that a PCS move is not in the Government interest. Permanent Change of Station (PCS) allowances may be authorized, subject to the provisions of the Joint Travel Regulations and an agency determination that a PCS move is in the Government Interest.
Many of these are generic or procedural; but some are substantive: Who May Apply categories list, Basic Requirement details, Combination of Education and Experience, Specialized Experience definition, Time in Grade Requirement, Foreign education info, Selective Service, Citizenship proof, Probationary period (already mentioned), Direct deposit, PCS tax info, PCS costs not authorized, PCS allowances may be authorized.
We need to decide what to keep. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep all those details, but we can format them as list items under Qualifications.
We should avoid creating sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless specific. We have no specific benefits, pay, schedule.
Thus output:
Responsibilities

...
Requirements

...
Qualifications

...
We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Also ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government..." Remove that.
Also remove "Reasonable Accommodation (RA) Requests:" section and subsequent details as it's application instructions.
Also remove "Additional information about transcripts is" etc? That's part of qualifications; we keep.
Let's craft.
We'll need to be careful to not miss any substantive piece.
Let's list duties items:

We'll break into sub-items maybe but still list as - with long text.
We can combine the three options: Degree requirement OR combination OR etc.
We'll produce a single
- that contains the whole basic requirement description.
Then "In Addition To Meeting The Basic Requirement Above, To Qualify For This Position You Must Also Meet The Qualification Requirements Listed Below:" then Specialized Experience definition, Time in Grade Requirement, Education FOREIGN EDUCATION, Additional information Male applicants..., proof of U.S. Citizenship, probationary period (again), Direct deposit (again), Selection restrictions (again), PCS tax info, PCS costs not authorized, PCS allowances may be authorized, Multiple positions may be filled, Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement, This is a(n) Engineers and Scientists (Non-Construction) Career Field position.
We should avoid duplicating items already in Requirements (probationary period, direct deposit, selection restrictions). But we can keep them; duplication maybe okay but we should avoid duplicate lines. The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should not repeat same info. So we should keep each piece only once. We already have probationary period, direct deposit, selection restrictions in Requirements. So we should not repeat them in Qualifications. However the Qualifications section also mentions them; we can skip duplicating.
Thus Qualifications items: Who May Apply list, Basic Requirement, Combination of Education and Experience (maybe part of Basic Requirement?), Specialized Experience, Time in Grade Requirement, Foreign education info, Selective Service, Citizenship proof, PCS tax info, PCS costs not authorized, PCS allowances may be authorized, Multiple positions may be filled, Salary
