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. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting: - Job ID, location, date posted, category, subcategory, schedule part-time, shift day, travel no, clearance required none, clearance level must be able to obtain public trust, potential for remote work ORA_ON_SITE (maybe means on-site? Actually "Potential for Remote Work ORA_ON_SITE" ambiguous). We'll fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. Probably we can include a short paragraph with location, schedule, etc. - Description: includes note about FERS retirees exemption, then description of role: looking for experienced part-time ATC Instructor to join SAIC CTS team at Portland TRACON (P80) supporting ATC training services for FAA. Must demonstrate strong technical skills with current ATC automation, simulation systems and procedures. May provide mentoring for students and Remote Pilot Operators (RPO), may participate in curriculum design and development.

Experience must have been at same type and same [or greater] level of ATC facility as Portland TRACON (P80). Desired Skills And Experience: Direct experience as CPC at Portland TRACON (P80) preferred but not required. Operational Experience with ATC simulators including scenario design for simulation platforms (e.g. TSS, AT Coach, SGET, etc.). Demonstrated ability to interface effectively with FAA personnel at all levels to ensure delivery of training services meet needs of local facility, as well as FAA’s overall ATC mission is highly desired. Experience demonstrating excellent teaching and/or platform skills, classroom management techniques, and a student-focused drive for continuous improvement. Education: High school diploma or equivalent (GED) required. FAA Certified Professional Controller (CPC) certification required with ability to obtain and maintain Instructor-II Simulation Laboratory and Classroom Certification. - Benefits, Pay, Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned besides schedule part-time shift day. There's mention of schedule part-time shift day. So we can include Schedule section with that info. Benefits not mentioned. Pay not mentioned. So we should not create Benefits or Pay sections. - About the role: Could be a section summarizing role description. Could use "About the role" heading with paragraph(s) describing role. - Responsibilities: Could list duties: deliver classroom/simulation training, mentor students/RPO, participate in curriculum design, maintain technical skills, obtain certifications, etc. - Requirements: Could list required qualifications: US citizenship, public trust clearance, 5 years FAA CPC experience, etc. - Qualifications: Could list education and certifications: high school diploma, FAA CPC certification, ability to obtain Instructor-II certification. - Skills: Could list desired skills: experience with ATC simulators, scenario design, interfacing with FAA personnel, teaching/platform skills, classroom management, continuous improvement. We must not invent content; must preserve all substantive info. So we need to ensure we include all details from posting. Let's extract substantive info: - Note about FERS retirees exemption: "Earnings received as an ATC Instructor, ATC Training Instructional Supervisor, or Contractor Site Supervisor working on this program are EXEMPT from the Supplemental Annuity earnings limits for FERS retirees between the ages of 56 and 62." This is substantive; we should include it maybe in About the role or a note. - Role: Part-time Air Traffic Control Instructor, SAIC Controller Training Solutions (CTS) team at Portland TRACON (P80) in Portland, OR, supporting air traffic controller training services for FAA. - Must demonstrate strong technical skills with current ATC automation, simulation systems and procedures. - May provide mentoring for students and Remote Pilot Operators (RPO), may participate in curriculum design and development. - Must demonstrate knowledge and skills applicable for obtaining radar and/or non-radar simulation laboratory certifications at FAA ATC facilities within U.S. NAS. - CTS Instructor is hands-on position requiring candidate to effectively and consistently deliver highest quality classroom and/or simulation laboratory training to a wide variety of students including developmental ATCs and Certified Professional Controllers (CPC). - Background about FAA: ensures safety, trains new and recurrent training, uses contractor-provided instructional services, scope includes all training and training program support to train students to become fully certified ATCs.

Potential for remote work ORA_ON_SITE maybe not needed. We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. Now produce HTML fragment with sections. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, maybe Schedule. Benefits and Pay omitted. Let's craft:

Schedule

Part‑time, day shift.

We might also include location in About the role or a separate metadata paragraph. Could add a short paragraph after About the role: "Location: Portland, OR, US." But we should not create a heading for minor metadata. Could embed in About the role paragraph. Add the FERS retirees note somewhere: maybe in About the role as a note. Let's craft About the role paragraph:

SAIC’s Controller Training Solutions (CTS) team is seeking a part‑time Air Traffic Control Instructor to support FAA air traffic controller training services at the Portland TRACON (P80) in Portland, OR. Earnings for this role are exempt from the Supplemental Annuity earnings limits for FERS retirees aged 56‑62. The instructor will deliver classroom and simulation‑based training, mentor students and Remote Pilot Operators (RPOs), and may contribute to curriculum design and development while maintaining current ATC automation and simulation expertise.

That covers location, note, role. Now ensure we didn't repeat job title as heading. We didn't. Check for any invented content: All derived from posting. Check for any missing substantive info: The background about FAA training scope and SAIC responsibilities: we didn't include that. Should we include? It's substantive. Could add to About the role or a separate section like "Context". But we only have predefined headings; we could add to About the role paragraph a sentence about FAA's training mission and SAIC's role. Let's incorporate: "The FAA trains new and recurrent air traffic control specialists using contractor‑provided instructional services; SAIC must provide training and training‑related support services for all types and levels of ATC facilities." That is from posting. Add to About the role paragraph. Now check for any other specifics: "The selected candidate must demonstrate the knowledge and skills applicable for obtaining radar and/or non-radar simulation laboratory certifications at FAA air traffic control facilities within the U.S. National Airspace System." Already in Responsibilities. "The CTS Instructor is a hands-on position that requires the candidate to effectively and consistently deliver the highest quality classroom and/or simulation laboratory training to a wide variety of students including developmental air traffic controllers and Certified Professional Controllers (CPC)." Already in Responsibilities. "The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for ensuring that air traffic control specialists provide the flying public with a high level of safety and professionalism. A well-trained Air Traffic Control (ATC) workforce plays an essential role in fulfilling this responsibility. The FAA employs more than 14,000 air traffic controllers. They work in air traffic facilities of varying sizes, safely separating more than 50,000 aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS) each day. To provide such air traffic services, the FAA trains new air traffic control specialists and provides recurrent training to current air traffic control specialists. The FAA utilizes Contractor-provided instructional services at FAA ATC facilities throughout the U.S. and its Territories to ensure these training needs are met.
