We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, fraud warnings, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive info: description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule, location info, start dates, number of positions, travel/relocation, training details. We need to decide which sections to include. We have: - About the role: description of role, purpose, team values, etc. Could be a paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties (bulleted). The posting includes "Key Responsibilities" with bullet-like sentences. - Requirements: maybe basic qualifications? Could be "Basic Qualifications". That's a list. - Qualifications: maybe "Experienced First Line Supervisor - Mechanical" specifics? Could combine with requirements. - Skills: maybe not explicit; we could omit if not present. - Benefits: described. - Pay: salary details: Annual Salary: $93,700 Experienced First Line Supervisor - Mechanical hiring rate of $90,100.

Anticipated Start Date: 2/1/2027, 6/14/2027, or 9/20/2026 Number of Positions: 6 Training details: orientation, technical training, on-the-job field training. We need to include all substantive info. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay numbers, schedule details. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll structure:

About the role

Responsibilities

  • ... each duty ...

Requirements

  • ... each basic qualification ...

Benefits

  • ... each benefit ...

Pay

... salary details ...

Schedule

Potentially also include a section for "Location & Start Info" but not in list of allowed headings. The allowed headings are only those listed. So we must fit location and start date etc into existing sections, maybe About the role or Schedule? Could add a paragraph in About the role covering locations, start dates, number of positions. Or we could create a separate section like "Details" but not allowed. So we must incorporate into allowed sections. We could add a paragraph in About the role that includes: team values, purpose, locations, start dates, number of positions. Schedule section includes work schedule details. Pay section includes salary and promotion. Benefits section includes benefits list. Requirements includes basic qualifications. Responsibilities includes duties. We should not include Skills if no specific skill list. Now we need to extract bullet points.

This is not an exhaustive list of the position’s duties. We could keep the first six bullet points as responsibilities; the last two are more about environment and note; maybe include as responsibilities as well? They are substantive. We'll include them.

Also mention that it's full-time etc but that's schedule. We'll craft a paragraph. Now we must ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, fraud warnings, legal, etc. Remove those. Now produce HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. We'll output:
