Operator
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only if there is real content. We have Company Description (maybe "About the role"? Actually company description is about the company, not role. Could be "About the role"? Might be better to use "About the role" for job description summary. But we have "Position Purpose" etc. We can treat that as "About the role". Then we have Primary Duties/Responsibilities -> Responsibilities. Then Qualifications (Education/Experience/Background) -> Qualifications. Then Knowledge/Skills/Abilities -> Skills. Then Required Certification/Licenses/Training maybe part of Qualifications or separate? Could be included under Qualifications. Then Physical Requirements maybe part of Qualifications? Not a separate heading unless we have content. We have Benefits section present. Pay and Schedule not present, so omit. Also we have Work Environment maybe could be part of Responsibilities? Not a heading. We'll include sections: About the role (position purpose + work environment?), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. Ensure we don't repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, disclaimer, etc. Also remove "We are an Equal Opportunity Employer!" and disclaimer. Also remove "Additional Information" heading? We'll keep Benefits.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from company description, position purpose, duties, qualifications, knowledge/skills/abilities, certifications, physical requirements, benefits. We'll embed them appropriately.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all specifics. So we need to keep numbers like "more than 10,000 employees", "more than 350 locations", etc. Also "Headquartered in Boston". Also "Valid driver’s license and acceptable driving record." Also "State-certified wastewater treatment operator license, such as [Class/Grade]." Also "Lift and carry up to pounds." (that's incomplete but it's in the posting; we must keep it as is). Also "Ability to obtain and maintain the appropriate wastewater operator certification within [specified period], if required by state or local regulations." Keep placeholders as they are.
We must not add filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need
- each duty. For qualifications list, we need
- . For skills list,
- . For benefits list,
- . For physical requirements maybe also list.
We need to use
for prose.
We must not include / tags.
Let's craft.
First, maybe a short paragraph for company description: could be under "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could include position purpose and company description. But we could also have a separate "About the company"? Not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put company description under "About the role". That seems okay.
Thus:
