for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present). Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's none.
We need to include all details: duties, experience, education/experience options, substitution notes, OCA documentation, certification, license, vehicle mileage reimbursement, wage increase percentages, SDCERS enrollment, high-rise structures note.
We need to format lists appropriately.
Let's draft.

License: "A valid California Class C Driver License is required at the time of hire. Note: You must provide your own vehicle for which mileage will be reimbursed."
We could combine certification and license as separate
