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. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - Intro: "Join a Company That Grows People At Lewis, we’re not just trimming trees — we’re building a future..." This is about the company, maybe "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" heading for intro description. - Then "Why You’ll Love It Here" could be part of About the role or maybe separate but we can incorporate into About the role. - Then "Responsibilities" heading: The posting has a "Responsibilities" section with paragraphs about the program. We'll put that under

Responsibilities

with
  • for list items? The content is prose paragraphs, not a list. The rule: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. So if it's not a list, we use

      . The responsibilities section includes multiple paragraphs; we can keep as

      elements. - Then "What You’ll Learn & Experience" maybe could be part of Responsibilities or a separate section like "What You’ll Learn". Not in the prescribed headings list. We could incorporate into Responsibilities or maybe treat as part of Responsibilities. Since only allowed headings are those listed, we should not create extra headings. So we should merge that content under Responsibilities or maybe under "About the role". Probably best to put under Responsibilities as it's describing what you'll learn. - Then "Leadership Development Path" also could be part of Responsibilities. - Then "What You’ll Do" also part of Responsibilities. Thus we can combine all those under Responsibilities. - Then "Qualifications" heading: The posting has "Qualifications" with "What We’re Looking For" bullet-like paragraphs. We'll put under

      Qualifications

      with

      for prose or maybe

      • if list. It's a set of bullet-like statements but not explicitly list with bullet points. We'll treat as

        for each sentence or combine. - Then "Non-Union Benefits" heading: Actually there is a section "Non-Union Benefits What We Offer". That includes Competitive pay, ESOP, etc. So we need Benefits and Pay sections. The posting includes pay range: ($30.00 - $37.00/hour). So we should create a Pay section with that info. Also Benefits section with list of benefits: Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), Paid training and industry certifications, Health, dental, vision & HSA options, 401(k), Paid time off and Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Also maybe mention "Work Environment & Travel" but that's not a standard heading; could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. We'll not create extra headings. - There's also "Work Environment & Travel" etc. Could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. We'll incorporate into About the role maybe. - Then "Physical Demands", "Environmental Conditions", "Comments", "Tools & Equipment", "People Promise". Those are likely boilerplate or extra details; we need to preserve substantive information but not create extra headings unless they fit under allowed headings. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could incorporate those details into existing sections like About the role or Responsibilities or Qualifications, but we must not invent headings. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop details. So we need to embed them somewhere within allowed sections. We have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We don't have a heading for "Work Environment", "Physical Demands", etc. We could put them under About the role or Responsibilities as prose. "Requirements" heading: The posting has qualifications but not separate Requirements. Could treat Qualifications as Requirements? But we have both Qualifications and Requirements headings allowed. We could put the qualifications list under Qualifications, and maybe put any specific requirements (like driver's license, high school diploma) under Requirements. But the posting lumps them together. We could split: Requirements: Valid driver’s license, eligibility to operate vehicle, high school diploma or GED required. Qualifications: leadership potential, communication skills, etc. But we need to not invent content; we must preserve all info. Splitting is okay as long as we don't lose info. "Skills" heading: Could include communication, interpersonal, self-motivated, adaptable, safety-minded, organized, forward-thinking, etc. We could put those under Skills. "Schedule": Not mentioned; we should not create a Schedule section if not present. "Pay": we have pay range. "Benefits": we have list. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll structure:

        About the role

        ... (intro + why you'll love it here + work environment & travel etc.)

        Responsibilities

        ... (program description, what you'll learn & experience, leadership development path, what you'll do)

        Requirements

        Valid driver’s license and eligibility to operate a vehicle on behalf of the Company. High school diploma or GED required.

        Qualifications

        Demonstrated leadership potential and a genuine interest in developing a career in field Operations. Leadership experience from the military, school, work, athletics, community involvement or other relevant settings is valued. Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to listen, learn, ask questions and build relationships. Self-motivated, adaptable and willing to learn from hands-on field experience. Safety-minded with sound judgment and a willingness to speak up. Organized, forward-thinking and capable of managing multiple priorities. Comfort working in outdoor environments and around field operations. Ability and willingness to obtain relevant industry certifications as development progresses. College education, military leadership experience, forestry/arboriculture education or related experience is welcomed.

        Skills

        Communication, interpersonal, listening, learning, relationship building, self-motivation, adaptability, safety mindset, judgment, organization, forward-thinking, multitasking, outdoor comfort.

        But we need to ensure we don't lose any specifics like "Ability and willingness to obtain relevant industry certifications as development progresses." Already in Qualifications. We also need to include "Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)" etc under Benefits. Benefits section: list items. We'll do:

        Benefits

        • Competive pay: ($30.00 - $37.00/hour) ??? Actually pay is separate Pay section. So Benefits should not include pay. We'll list: Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), Paid training and industry certifications, Health, dental, vision & HSA options, 401(k), Paid time off and Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
        • etc. But we need to separate Pay. Thus:

          Pay

          Competitive pay: ($30.00 - $37.00/hour)

          Benefits

          • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
          • Paid training and industry certifications
          • Health, dental, vision & HSA options
          • 401(k)
          • Paid time off and Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
          We might also include "Work Environment & Travel" details under About the role. Now we need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "People Promise" and EEO statements are boilerplate; we should remove them per instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we drop the People Promise and EEO paragraphs. Also "Comments: Conditions vary by region. PPE required per OSHA and ANSI standards." That's substantive? It's about conditions; we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities as a note. It's not boilerplate; it's about work conditions. We'll include it under About the role maybe as a sentence. "Tools & Equipment" list: Could be included under About the role or Responsibilities as note. We must preserve all substantive info; we cannot drop that. So we need to embed that info somewhere. Let's capture all substantive paragraphs: Intro: "Join a Company That Grows People At Lewis, we’re not just trimming trees — we’re building a future.
