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. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc as headings; can fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Salary Range: $26.12 - $37.91 hourly; $54,539 – 79,156 annually. So Pay section is present. Benefits: there is a Benefits paragraph describing benefits. So Benefits section present. Schedule: Work Shift/Work Hours: Day Shift; Days of Work: Monday-Friday; Travel Required: Yes – occasional overnights. Also Telework eligible: Yes – up to 50% after probation. So schedule info present. So we can include Schedule section. We need sections: About the role (maybe from description). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe communication, analytical, computer, ability to conduct field inspections). Benefits (list). Pay (salary range). Schedule (work shift, days, telework, travel). Must not duplicate content. We must use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not include headings with filler. Ensure we only include sections with real content. We need to preserve all substantive information: that includes job description, responsibilities, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, skills, additional requirements (driver's license, physical requirements, background check, work authorization). Also benefits, pay, schedule, telework, travel. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "How To Apply", contact info? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop "How To Apply", contact info, etc. Also remove "Working together to improve the state we love." maybe considered boilerplate? It's part of the description but maybe not essential? It's somewhat fluff but could be considered part of "About the role". Might keep as prose if it's substantive? It's generic; but we can keep as part of About the role. However we need to avoid fluff. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The "Working together..." is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered fluff. Might keep as part of About the role. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. So no

    . Good. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:

    About the role

    ... description ...

    Responsibilities

    • ...
    • ...

    Minimum Qualifications

    • ...
    • ...
    But the instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They want "Requirements" and "Qualifications" separate. Likely Requirements = Minimum Qualifications, Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications. Skills maybe separate list of skills (communication, analytical, computer, ability to conduct field inspections). We'll follow that. Thus:

    About the role

    (Communication skills, Analytical and organizational skills, Computer skills, Ability to conduct field inspections... maybe also driver's license? That's additional requirement but could be in Requirements? Might be separate but we can include in Requirements as additional requirement. However they said preserve all substantive info; we can include driver's license etc in Requirements as bullet. But we also have Additional Requirements: driver's license, physical requirements, work authorization, background check. Those could go under Requirements as well. We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract details: About the role: The paragraph: "The work you'll do is more than just a job. At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities. The DNR is currently seeking a Mineland Reclamation Specialist in Hibbing, MN. This position exists to assist in inspecting, monitoring, evaluating, and providing direction to the state’s mining industry in complying with the state’s rules for mineland reclamation. Particular attention is directed at reviewing and administering Permits to Mine to ensure they are consistent with the rules relating to mineland reclamation. The position requires traversing rough terrain during site visits and fieldwork in inclement weather." We can keep that as prose. Responsibilities list: - Assist in reviewing and evaluating applications for Permits to Mine, annual reports, and operating plans so they are consistent with the rules relating to mineland reclamation. - Aid in conducting field inspections to determine if mining companies are in compliance with the conditions of their Permit to Mine. - Assist in reviewing and evaluating environmental review documents to ensure that components related to mineland reclamation and closure are adequately addressed. - Aid in maintaining and updating databases, including GIS, for monitoring, documenting, and administering the mineland reclamation program. - This position has a flexible work arrangement and may be eligible to telework on a part-time basis following successful completion of a probationary period and which is subject to change. If approved, the employee would be required to complete a telework agreement. This position will require reporting to the primary work location on a regular basis. But telework etc maybe schedule. We'll keep responsibilities as the core duties; telework maybe schedule. Minimum Qualifications (Requirements): - Bachelor's degree in biological sciences (e.g., botany, forestry, agronomy), hydrology, geology, reclamation, soil sciences, environmental science or studies, environmental engineering, geologic engineering, civil engineering, mine engineering or related field. - One (1) year of professional experience in biological sciences (e.g., botany, forestry, agronomy), hydrology, geology, reclamation, soil sciences, environmental science or studies, environmental engineering, geologic engineering, civil engineering, mine engineering or related field. - Communication skills sufficient to communicate accurately and professionally, both orally and in writing with coworkers, regulated entities, other government and tribal agencies, and the public. - Analytical and organizational skills sufficient to review technical information, maintain accurate records, organize files and databases necessary to administer the mineland reclamation program records and complete work within established timelines. - Computer skills sufficient to prepare technical correspondence, reports, maintain electronic records, and use Microsoft Office or comparable software. - Ability to conduct field inspections and monitoring activities in outdoor environments and over rough terrain, including under variable weather conditions, with or without reasonable accommodation. - Additional Requirements: - Unrestricted Class D Driver’s license with a clear driving record. - Per DNR Fleet Policy, only those 18 years of age or older with a valid driver’s license may operate equipment and vehicles on behalf of the Agency. - Ability to meet the physical requirements and work in the environmental conditions of the position, with or without reasonable accommodations. - Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g. H1B status). - Must submit to a background check prior to employment (components: Conflict of Interest Review, Criminal History Check, Education Verification, Employment Reference / Records Check, License / Certification Verification). We could incorporate these into Requirements list. Preferred Qualifications (Qualifications): - Professional experience in mineland reclamation, such as reclamation planning, field monitoring and inspection, environmental review, revegetation assessment, environmental review, permitting or compliance monitoring. - Experience reviewing technical plans, reports, permit applications, or other regulatory documents for compliance with laws, rules, permits, or established regulatory standards. - Experience using databases or other information-management systems to maintain technical, regulatory, or natural-resource records. - Experience with GIS including ArcMap/ArcMap or other GIS Software and spatial data management. - Knowledge of Minnesota's mineland reclamation regulations and permitting, specifically Minnesota Rules Chapters 6130, 6131, or 6132. - Knowledge of mining operations and practices, particularly Minnesota's taconite/ferrous, non-ferrous or peat mining industry, or mine and process engineering principles. - Experience with Minnesota’s environmental review process and understanding of the relationship between environmental review, permitting, and regulatory requirements. - Experience evaluating or documenting revegetation or reclamation success. - Experience working with regulated entities, consultants, or governmental agencies on environmental permitting, compliance, reclamation, or natural resource management. - Experience interpreting and applying statutes, rules, regulations, permits, or other regulatory requirements. - MSHA 24-hour New Miner Training. Skills: Could be communication, analytical, organizational, computer, ability to conduct field inspections. But those are already in Requirements. However we can still have Skills section summarizing those. But to avoid duplication, maybe we can put skills as separate list: Communication, Analytical & Organizational, Computer, Field inspection ability. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; not summarizing away detail. If we put skills as separate list, we might duplicate content from Requirements. But we could keep Requirements as minimum qualifications (education/experience) and Skills as the skill-based requirements (communication, analytical, computer, field ability). Additional requirements like driver's license could go under Requirements as well. Let's decide: Requirements: Education & experience (minimum qualifications). Skills: Communication, Analytical/Organizational, Computer, Ability to conduct field inspections. Additional requirements like driver's license, physical, work auth, background check could be under Requirements as well? Might be better to put them under Requirements as they are requirements. But then Skills would be separate. We need to avoid duplication: If we put communication etc in Skills, we should not also list them under Requirements. So Requirements will contain education & experience only. Skills will contain communication, analytical/organizational, computer, field inspection ability. Additional requirements (driver's license, physical, work auth, background check) could be placed under Requirements as well? That would mix education/experience with other requirements; but we could add a separate section "Additional Requirements" but not in allowed headings. The allowed headings list does not include Additional Requirements. So we must fit them into existing allowed headings: maybe under Requirements or Skills. Since they are requirements, we can put them under Requirements alongside education/experience. That would cause duplication if we also put communication etc in Skills. So we need to decide: either put communication etc under Requirements and not have Skills section, or put them under Skills and keep Requirements only education/experience plus other requirements like driver's license etc. The instruction says we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine education/experience and other requirements into Requirements, and have Skills separate for communication etc. That seems reasonable. Thus: Requirements (Minimum Qualifications + Additional Requirements): - Bachelor's degree in ... (list) - One (1) year of professional experience in ... - Unrestricted Class D Driver’s license with a clear driving record. - Per DNR Fleet Policy, only those 18 years of age or older with a valid driver’s license may operate equipment and vehicles on behalf of the Agency. - Ability to meet the physical requirements and work in the environmental conditions of the position, with or without reasonable
