for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. No Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless stated. The posting does not mention pay, schedule, benefits. So we should not include those sections. We need sections like About the role (maybe company description?), Responsibilities (Major Tasks...), Requirements (Preferred Qualifications?), Qualifications (Education?), Skills (Key Competencies?). We need to decide mapping.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statements, duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, application instructions. Also remove repeated EEO block (two copies). Also remove "Visit coreandmain.com to learn more." maybe part of company description but it's not boilerplate? It's a link; but we can keep as prose? It's not essential maybe but it's not boilerplate; but it's a call to visit website. Might be considered fluff but not prohibited. However we can keep it as part of About the role.
We need to not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "Enterprise Estimator – Critical Infrastructure Group (CIG)". Not to be used as heading.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content:
Company description paragraph: "Based in St. Louis, Core & Main is a leader in advancing reliable infrastructure™ with local service, nationwide®. As a specialty distributor with a focus on water, wastewater, storm drainage and fire protection products and related services, Core & Main provides solutions to municipalities, private water companies and professional contractors across municipal, non-residential and residential end markets, nationwide.

The role collaborates closely with sales, engineering, and design teams to support winning bid strategies and deliver exceptional customer value."
Major Tasks, Responsibilities And Key Accountabilities: Several bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We need to convert to list items.
List:
- Reviews and interprets construction plans, drawings, and specifications to determine project requirements.

This information indicates the general nature and level of work performed by associates in this role. It is not designed to contain a comprehensive inventory of all duties, responsibilities, and qualifications required of associates assigned to this role. This description supersedes any previous or undated descriptions for this role. Management retains the right to add or change the duties of the position at any time."
We need to keep substantive info; the last sentences about description supersedes etc are maybe boilerplate but they are part of description; but they are generic. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "This information indicates the general nature..." is not exactly legal boilerplate but it's generic description; but it's still part of the job description. Might keep.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". Not present.
We need to decide sections: About the role (company description + job summary?), Responsibilities (Major Tasks...), Requirements (Experience Preferred Qualifications?), Qualifications (Education?), Skills (Key Competencies). Could also combine Experience and Qualifications.
But we must not create sections with no content. We'll produce sections:
About the role
with company description + job summary? Might be too much but okay.
Better: About the role: company description. Then Responsibilities: Major Tasks. Then Requirements: Experience Preferred Qualifications. Then Qualifications: Education. Then Skills: Key Competencies.
We must not repeat job title as heading; fine.
We need to ensure we use - for any list. For prose, use
.
Thus:
maybe not needed; just output headings and content.
We'll output:
