We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Sections present:
- POSITION SUMMARY: description of role. Could be "About the role" heading.
- KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: list of duties.
- MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: list.
- PREFERRED CERTIFICATIONS: list.
- PREFERRED PROJECT EXPERIENCE: list.
- TECHNICAL SKILLS: list broken into Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, Software & Documentation.
- EDUCATION: paragraph.
- PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS: list.
- IDEAL CANDIDATE: paragraph.
- COMPENSATION: paragraph.
- About Thompson Holdings: company description (maybe not needed? It's substantive but not a standard heading; could be part of About the role? Might be separate but we have no heading for company description. Could include under About the role? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. "About the role" could include position summary and maybe company description? But they said do NOT repeat job title as heading; page already shows it. So we can put About the role with position summary and maybe company overview.
Responsibilities: KEY RESPONSIBILITIES.
Requirements: maybe MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS? Or Requirements could be both minimum and preferred? We'll treat Requirements as minimum qualifications.
Qualifications: maybe PREFERRED CERTIFICATIONS and PREFERRED PROJECT EXPERIENCE? Or we could combine them under Qualifications.
Skills: TECHNICAL SKILLS.
Benefits: not present; we should not create Benefits section.
Pay: COMPENSATION section present.
Schedule: not present; do not create.
We also have EDUCATION, PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS, IDEAL CANDIDATE. Where to put? Could be part of Qualifications or Requirements? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine education, physical requirements, ideal candidate into Qualifications or Requirements. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can include them as subpoints under Qualifications or Requirements.

We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
Thus:
About the role
POSITION SUMMARY text + About Thompson Holdings maybe.
Responsibilities
list each responsibility.
Requirements
combine MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS, EDUCATION, PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS, IDEAL CANDIDATE? Might be too much. But we can separate: Requirements (minimum qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred certs, project experience, technical skills). However we have limited headings; we can use Requirements for minimum qualifications, Qualifications for preferred certs, project experience, technical skills, education, physical, ideal candidate. But we need to decide.
We have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We can map:
- About the role: position summary + company description.
- Responsibilities: key responsibilities.
- Requirements: minimum qualifications.
- Qualifications: preferred certifications, preferred project experience.
- Skills: technical skills (maybe also software & documentation).
- Pay: compensation.
We need to include education, physical requirements, ideal candidate somewhere. Could be under Requirements (as part of minimum qualifications) or Qualifications. Since they are not strictly certifications, maybe under Requirements as additional requirements.
Thus Requirements will include minimum qualifications, education, physical requirements, ideal candidate.
Qualifications will include preferred certifications, preferred project experience.
Skills will include technical skills (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, software & documentation).
Now we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove Equal Employment Opportunity Employer paragraph.
Also remove any duplicated lines.
Now craft HTML.
We need to preserve all substantive information: So we must include all bullet points from each section.
