before sections. Not a heading. That's fine. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, diversity, sustainability, etc. Those are boilerplate; remove. We must not include application instructions. Now craft HTML. Structure:

We should also include Working Conditions? Not a section heading; could be included as aunder maybe Responsibilities? But we have no heading for Working Conditions. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. We could add a
for Working Conditions after Responsibilities maybe. But we must preserve all substantive information. The posting includes Working Conditions paragraph. We should include it somewhere. Could add a
Working Conditions
if we treat as a section. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Working Conditions is not in the list, but we could still include as awithout heading? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use for section headings (e.g. ...)" implying those are examples; we could still use other headings but better to stick to given list. However we need to preserve Working Conditions info. Could embed it under Responsibilities as a bullet? But it's not a responsibility; it's about work environment. Could add a
after Responsibilities without heading. That's okay. Similarly, Employee Supervision, Decision Making/Accountability, Safety, Health & Environmental Responsibilities, Additional Information (Equipment Used) etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. Many details: Employee Supervision, Decision Making/Accountability, Safety, Health & Environmental Responsibilities, Additional Information (Equipment Used). We must include them somewhere. Could add them as additional sections? Not in allowed list but we could still use
for them? The instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but to be safe we could incorporate those details into existing sections: e.g., Employee Supervision could go under Responsibilities as a bullet; Decision Making/Accountability also under Responsibilities; Safety, Health & Environmental Responsibilities could go under Responsibilities or maybe under a Safety bullet we already have. Additional Information (Equipment Used) could go under Responsibilities or a separate
