We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info. Include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", etc. So we need to extract sections: About the role (Position Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Duties and Responsibilities), Requirements/Qualifications (Qualifications), Skills (Competency maybe?), Benefits (Benefits/Perks), Pay (Compensation Details), Schedule (Position Type/Expected Hours of Work, Travel maybe). Also maybe Work Environment and Physical Demands could be part of Requirements? But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content accordingly.
We have:
- Position Summary: "The Mobile Mechanic is responsible for diagnosing, repairing, maintaining, and servicing company vehicles, trailers, equipment, and fleet assets in the field and at designated facilities. This role promotes Sonic's core values of safety, quality, customer service, accountability, and integrity while ensuring fleet equipment remains operational and compliant with company and regulatory standards."
That's About the role.
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties and Responsibilities list (long). We'll put under
Responsibilities
with - each duty.
- Requirements: maybe "Qualifications" section includes minimum experience etc. Could be Requirements (maybe same as Qualifications). But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. We need to decide: Use Requirements for things like driver's license, travel, etc? Qualifications for experience, certifications. Let's parse:
Qualifications block: "Minimum 3–5 years of experience as a mechanic, diesel mechanic, fleet mechanic, or mobile mechanic. Strong knowledge of gasoline and diesel engine systems. Experience with electrical diagnostics and troubleshooting. Familiarity with hydraulic systems and trailer maintenance preferred. Experience using vehicle diagnostic software and scan tools. Ability to read and interpret service manuals, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation. Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills. Valid driver's license with acceptable driving record. ASE certifications preferred. CDL is a plus but not required."
That's qualifications.
Requirements maybe include: "Travel: Travel is expected for this position. A valid California Driver's License for three years and Clean DMV is required." Also "Position Type/Expected Hours of Work: This is a full-time position. Occasional overtime, weekends, or after-hours response may be required based on operational needs and emergency repairs." Also "Supervisory Responsibilities: The Mobile Mechanic position does not have supervisory responsibilities." Also maybe "Work Environment" and "Physical Demands" could be under Requirements? But we have no heading for those; we could incorporate them under Requirements as prose.
Skills: Competency block lists many competencies (Responsibility, Problem Solving, Technical Skills, Customer Service, Interpersonal Skills, Oral Communication, Written Communication, Ethics). That's skills.
Benefits: Benefits/Perks: "Competitive payFull Benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401k, profit sharing, and more.Paid training.Collaborative team culture in a dynamic working environment.Career advancement opportunities.Extended education opportunities. Company Paid Pregnancy/Bonding Leave". Note there's a missing space after "Competitive pay". We'll parse as separate items.
Pay: Compensation Details: "$49.87 – $59.85 /hour DOE". That's pay.
Schedule: Position Type/Expected Hours of Work: "This is a full-time position. Occasional overtime, weekends, or after-hours response may be required based on operational needs and emergency repairs." Also Travel maybe part of schedule? Could include Travel: "Travel is expected for this position. A valid California Driver's License for three years and Clean DMV is required." That's more requirement but could be schedule. We'll include Travel under Schedule as it's about travel expectations.
We must not include filler like "DOE" is okay (specific). Not "commensurate with experience". Good.
We must remove boilerplate: Equal Opportunity, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, etc. Also remove "Supervisory Responsibilities: The Mobile Mechanic position does not have supervisory responsibilities." That's not boilerplate but maybe we can include under Requirements? It's a statement about supervisory responsibilities; could be included under Requirements as a note. But we have limited headings; we could include it under Requirements as a bullet.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present).
We must output only HTML fragment.

$49.87 – $59.85 per hour (DOE)
Schedule
This is a full-time position. Occasional overtime, weekends, or after-hours response may be required based on operational needs and emergency repairs. Travel is expected for this position.
Check for any duplicated content: We have travel mentioned both in Requirements and Schedule; maybe we should avoid duplication. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplication may be okay if it's in original? The original had travel line separate and position type line separate. We could keep travel under Requirements and schedule under Schedule without travel. But schedule section should reflect Position Type/Expected Hours of Work. Travel could be considered part of schedule but it's separate. To avoid duplication, we could keep travel only under Requirements (since it's a requirement) and schedule only about hours. Let's adjust.
Thus:
Requirements bullet includes travel.
Schedule bullet only about hours.
Let's rewrite Requirements bullet: "Travel is expected for this position; a valid California Driver's License for three years and a clean DMV record are required
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info.
