We need to keep all that but maybe condense into bullet points? The instruction: Use

We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions (supplemental questions etc). Also remove duplicated lines.

We can put that under About the role (or maybe no heading? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it). So we can have About the role heading with that paragraph.
Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Key Responsibilities". The text: "Performing a range of tasks to maintain parks and facilities. Assisting the Nature & Trails team in restoring natural areas, including trail and natural area upkeep.Delivering exceptional customer service by engaging with the public and sharing information about the Park District. Operating various equipment, including mowers, trucks, trailers, trimmers, blowers, pole saws, pruners, and hand tools."
We need to split into list items. Could be each sentence as
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So benefits can be a list. We'll create bullet points summarizing each benefit but must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. However we can list each benefit as separate
- preserving the detail. That's okay.
We need to avoid boilerplate like "Available To All Classifications" maybe it's a heading but we can treat as part of benefits.
