Network Engineer – Level 1
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We have job details: Role: Network Engineer Level 1, Start Window: ASAP, Duration: 6 to 12 months, Work Location: Palo, IA Primarily onsite at the Duane Arnold Nuclear Facility. Job Description... etc.
We need to preserve all substantive info, but remove boilerplate. There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections in posting. So we should not create those headings unless content present. There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should omit those sections.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from Job Description paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (Technical Skills and Soft Skills). Could combine.
We must not create placeholder sections. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to include all substantive info: Role, Start Window, Duration, Work Location, Job Description paragraphs, Responsibilities list, Required Qualifications list, Preferred Qualifications list, Technical Skills list, Soft Skills list, Work Environment description.
We need to decide headings: About the role (could include role, start window, duration, location, job description). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications). Skills (Technical Skills and Soft Skills). Work Environment maybe could be part of About the role or separate? There's no heading for Work Environment in list, but we could include under About the role or as its own section if we want. The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not limited to those. So we can add other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. Work Environment could be part of About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't put "Network Engineer Level 1" as heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract.
Job Details:

Now we need to output HTML fragment.
We'll have sections:
About the role
... include role, start window, duration, location, job description paragraphs.
Responsibilities
- ...
Requirements
maybe combine Required Qualifications as list? Actually Requirements could be Required Qualifications. Use
- for list.
Qualifications
Preferred Qualifications list.
Skills
We could split into Technical Skills and Soft Skills maybe as two under same heading? Or we could have two subheadings? Not allowed to create extra headings beyond those listed? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but better to stick to those. So we can have Skills heading and include both technical and soft skills as lists.
We could do:
Skills
Technical Skills
but that's extra heading not in list. Might be okay but risk. Safer to just have one with all skills combined? But that would mix technical and soft. Could separate via headings inside? Not ideal.
We could create two sections: Technical Skills and Soft Skills, but those aren't in the example list. However instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. So we can add other headings if needed. But to be safe, we can keep Skills heading and then within that we can have two
headings like Technical Skills: then list, then Soft Skills: then list. That uses
for prose and for emphasis. That should be fine.
We also need to include Work Environment. Could be part of About the role or separate section like Work Environment. Since not in examples, we could add a heading Work Environment as . Probably acceptable.
