We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use ul/li for lists, p for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include only sections with real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay: we have Annual Wage Range: $113,712.00 - $156,354.00. Also Other Compensation: eligibility for short-term incentive program and other applicable bonuses. So we can have Pay section with wage range and other compensation. Benefits: list benefits. Schedule: mention 24/7 operation, on-call, off-shift, return to site as necessary. Also maybe mention shift work. So include Schedule section.
We need About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing role from job description. Use prose.
Responsibilities: list bullet points from responsibilities.
Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications and Physical Requirements? But we have separate sections: Requirements maybe for required qualifications? Qualifications maybe for preferred? But we can follow typical: Requirements = required qualifications; Qualifications = preferred qualifications. Skills maybe not explicit; we could omit if no specific skills list. But we have some skills like mechanical or process controls skills, etc. Could put under Skills. However instructions: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Required and Preferred into Qualifications? But they said use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We'll include those that have content.
We have:
- About the role: paragraph summarizing.
- Responsibilities: list.
- Requirements: Required Qualifications (high school diploma or GED, 5+ years experience, mechanical/process controls skills). Also Physical Requirements? Could be separate but maybe include under Requirements as well. But we have Physical Requirements And Environment section; could be its own heading? Not in list but we could treat as Requirements? Might be better to include under Requirements as bullet list.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (bachelor's degree, 3 years supervisory experience union, ERP, performance metrics, life safety training, communication, problem solving, leadership, Lean/Project Management).
- Skills: maybe list specific skills like mechanical/process controls, production planning, ERP, performance metrics tracking, life safety training, hazard identification, communication, problem solving, leadership, Lean Manufacturing, Project Management. Could be under Skills.
- Benefits: list benefits.
- Pay: wage range and other compensation.
- Schedule: 24/7 operation, on-call, off-shift, return to site as necessary.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific numbers.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract details:
About the role: from job description: "Built on talent, technology, and trust, Grace is a leading global supplier of catalysts and engineered materials.
