or drop it. We need to preserve all substantive information. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "outside bar) to the bottom of the page and click on the "Apply for this position" button." etc. We need to keep: Job Summary, Primary responsibilities list, Qualifications and Experience, Working Conditions, Benefits description, Salary Range, Shift Work Possible, Start Date TBD, Contract? etc. We need to decide sections. Potential sections: - About the role: could contain Job Summary and maybe location, posting date, contract type, etc. - Responsibilities: list of primary responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe qualifications and experience (education, knowledge, etc.) - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we need to avoid duplication. Could combine. - Skills: maybe specific skills like reading blueprints, using equipment, etc. - Benefits: benefits package description. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: shift work possible, full-time, etc. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range: $34.02/hour. So Pay section can include that. Schedule: shift work possible, full-time, weekend duty as required, etc. So we can include. Benefits: they list comprehensive benefits package. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat info. Let's extract substantive content: From posting: - Location: Columbus, MS (maybe also address of company but not needed). Could be in About the role. - Job Posting No 114468 (drop as metadata). - Start Date TBD (maybe mention in About the role? It's TBD, but we should not create a section with filler? It's metadata; we can include in About the role short p. - Contract AETC Acft. Mx. Support Svc. (maybe contract type). Could be included. - Salary Range $34.02/hour. - Posting Date 09/23/2026 (maybe not needed but could be metadata). - Union Yes. - FLSA Status Non-Exempt. - Shift Work Possible. - FT/PT Full-time. - Relocation Possible. - Travel Possible. - Job Summary: M1 is looking for a Metal Trades Assistant who be assigned to the Structural Repair, Machine, or Welding Shop. The Metal Trades Assistant will perform basic sheet metal, fiberglass, and plastic repairs, and the fabrication of elementary parts using equipment common to metal working shops. They will accomplish basic structural repair, machining, and welding tasks. They will perform on and off-equipment maintenance on assigned aircraft, engines, and support equipment. - Primary responsibilities list (bullet points). Let's extract each: 1. Performs basic repairs and modifications as directed by applicable technical data, including metal, fiberglass, plastic, and honeycomb components. 2. Performs basic maintenance and repair and cleaning of assigned equipment. 3. Enters required data on maintenance forms and updates CAMS. 4. Annotates maintenance actions in aircraft records and is knowledgeable in CAMS documentation. 5. Maintains shop equipment and hand tools IAW established procedures. 6. Assists metals processing specialist and performs other basic metal working tasks within the metal processing shops. 7. Operates portable fire-fighting equipment. 8. May be assigned to maintain TO files, bench stock, shop stock, CTKs, or hazardous waste areas. 9. Practices good housekeeping, tool control, and FOD prevention/awareness, and safety at all times. 10. Shall assist other personnel and work centers as directed. 11. Must promote Company values, policies, and standards of conduct. 12. Must be customer oriented and ensure professional coordination with base agencies. 13. Must be able to work day shift, night shift, or weekend duty as required. 14.

Accomplishes all actions with the guidance of higher grade personnel. - Qualifications And Experience (page 2 of 2) content: "A basic knowledge of the metal working trade of the area assigned, including the use of drawings, blueprints, and maintenance instructions is required. Must have completed an approved formal metal working course. Must be able to read, write, speak, and understand English. Completion of high school or the equivalent is required. Working Conditions Physical exertion requirement is medium. When using a respirator, must be able to obtain a good face-to-face piece seal." Also there is a description of M1 Support Services (company overview) and EEO statements (remove). Benefits paragraph: "M1 Support Services offers a comprehensive benefits package including several options for Medi al, Dental, Vision, Life and Dependent Life, AD&D, Short-and Long-term Disability. We also offer Flexible Spending Accounts for qualified health and dependent care expenses, as well as a free Employee Assistance Program." Also there is duplicate EEO statement and woman-owned etc (remove). Now we need to map to sections. About the role: Could include Job Summary, location, posting date maybe, contract type, start date TBD, union? But union maybe not part of about role. Could include in About the role: location, contract type, posting date, start date TBD, union? Might be okay. But we must avoid filler like "TBD" as heading content? It's okay to have TBD in paragraph. Responsibilities: the list. Requirements: maybe education and basic knowledge? Could be "Completion of high school or equivalent required; must have completed approved formal metal working course; ability to read/write/speak/understand English; basic knowledge of metal working trade including drawings, blueprints, maintenance instructions." Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Could combine but we need to decide. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can include multiple sections if they have content. We need to avoid duplication. Perhaps: - About the role: Job Summary + location + contract + posting date + start date TBD + union? Might be okay. - Responsibilities: list. - Requirements: education, language, basic knowledge, formal course. - Qualifications: maybe physical exertion, respirator seal, etc. Or we could treat "Working Conditions" as Qualifications? But we have a separate Working Conditions paragraph; could be part of Qualifications or Requirements. Let's treat as Qualifications: physical exertion medium, respirator seal. - Skills: maybe specific skills like operating portable fire-fighting equipment, maintaining TO files, bench stock, etc., housekeeping, tool control, FOD prevention, safety, promoting company values, customer orientation, shift work flexibility, cross-utilization training, guidance of higher grade. But many of those are responsibilities. Might be better to put skills like "ability to read drawings/blueprints, use metalworking equipment, perform sheet metal/fiberglass/plastic repairs, basic machining/welding, operate portable fire-fighting equipment, maintain shop equipment, use CAMS, etc." However we risk duplication. Given the instruction to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine some. Maybe we do: - About the role (Job Summary, location, contract, posting date, start date TBD, union?) - Responsibilities (list) - Requirements (education, language, basic knowledge, formal course) - Benefits (benefits package) - Pay (salary range) - Schedule (shift work possible, full-time, weekend duty, relocation possible, travel possible) We could omit Qualifications and Skills if they'd be thin. But we have some qualifications like physical exertion, respirator seal; could be part of Requirements? Could add to Requirements. Thus we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Check if each has substantive content. About the role: Job Summary (paragraph), location (Columbus, MS), contract type (AETC Acft. Mx. Support Svc.), posting date (09/23/2026), start date TBD, union Yes. That's substantive. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: includes: completion of high school or equivalent, approved formal metal working course, ability to read/write/speak/understand English, basic knowledge of metal working trade including drawings, blueprints, maintenance instructions, physical exertion medium, ability to obtain good face-to-face seal when using respirator. That's substantive. Benefits: comprehensive benefits package description. Pay: salary range $34.02/hour. Schedule: shift work possible, full-time, weekend duty as required, relocation possible, travel possible. Also maybe FT/PT Full-time. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now we need to output HTML fragment with
for each section heading, then content:
for prose,
- for lists.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we dropped them.
We must not include boilerplate EEO etc.
Now craft HTML.
We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed.
Let's write:
