Operations - Vice President
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings. We have:
- About Legence (company description) maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is not present; we have company overview. Could treat as "About the role"? But instruction says use those headings as examples; we can use others if appropriate? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings when applicable. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe company description), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Qualifications (Required Qualifications), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits, Pay, Schedule (Travel). Also maybe "Preferred Experience" could be under Qualifications or Skills. We'll decide.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include company description, job summary, responsibilities, required qualifications, preferred experience, travel, compensation (base salary, bonus, long-term incentive), benefits overview.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add heading for Vice President, Operations.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. There's "Reports to: Chief Operating Officer | Segments: Installation & Maintenance and Engineering & Consulting". That's minor metadata; we can include in a short
after job summary maybe. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Actually we can include that if it's real content? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. So we can include Pay section with actual numbers; we have base salary range, bonus, long-term incentive. That's specific. So we include Pay section. Schedule: we have Travel: Yes, 40–50%. That's schedule/travel. So we can include Schedule section with travel percentage. Benefits: we have Benefits Overview with details; include Benefits section. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll structure:

Then maybe a short p for Reports to and Segments.Job Summary
but Job Summary is not in the list of headings examples; but we could treat as About the role? Actually we already used About the role for company description. Job Summary could be a paragraph under About the role? Or we could have a separate section "Job Summary" asJob Summary
. 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 those for those sections. It might be okay to use Job Summary as heading. However to be safe, we could incorporate Job Summary into About the role or Responsibilities? Better to have a separate heading "Job Summary". The examples are not exhaustive; they say e.g. So we can use Job Summary.
Thus:
