Packaging Engineer Co-Op 2027
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to extract sections.
Let's parse the posting.
Employee Type: Full time
Location: IL Oak Brook
Job Type: Administration
Job Posting Title: Packaging Engineer Co-Op 2027
About Us: ... (company description) - we can include as "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about company; but we can put under "About the role"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" heading and include description of role and maybe company overview? The "About Us" is generic company description; but we can include as part of About the role? Might be okay. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we can include company description under About the role.
What You Gain: bullet points: Leaders who are invested... inclusive environment... 401(k) program, if eligible. That's benefits? Could be under Benefits.
Job Description: About The Opportunity ... description.
Key Responsibilities and Opportunities: list of responsibilities.
Qualifications: list.
Important Details: compensation $23-$24 per hour, hybrid schedule, positions dates, booth info, etc. Also mention "Please visit our booth..." that's application instruction? It's more like recruiting event; maybe we keep as part of schedule? But instruction: remove application instructions. The booth visit is not exactly application instruction but could be considered recruiting event; but it's not essential to job description? Might be considered extra; but we can keep as part of Schedule? It says "Please visit our booth at the MSU packaging career fair on October 27th, 2026, from 1pm-5pm." That's not schedule of work; it's a recruiting event. Might be considered application instruction? Probably we should drop it as it's not substantive job info. Also "Your TreeHouse Foods Career is Just a Click Away! Click on the “Apply” button..." is application instruction; drop.
EEO statement etc drop.
Thus we need sections:
- About the role: include company description and maybe "About The Opportunity" description.
- Responsibilities: from Key Responsibilities and Opportunities.
- Requirements: maybe combine Qualifications? The instruction list includes Requirements and Qualifications separate. We have Qualifications section; maybe we treat that as Qualifications. Requirements could be similar to Qualifications? But we have only Qualifications. Could we put Requirements as same as Qualifications? Better to follow instruction: we have Qualifications heading; we can also have Requirements if there is distinct content. The posting has "Qualifications" bullet list. There's no separate "Requirements". So we will not create Requirements heading if no specific content.
- Skills: maybe we can extract skills from qualifications: "Proficient written and verbal communications skills", "Solid problem-solving skills", "Basic understanding and experience with paperboard, corrugate, film, plastics and glass packaging materials." Also "Ability to interact and collaborate..." etc. Could be under Skills.
- Benefits: from What You Gain: Leaders who are invested..., inclusive environment..., 401(k) program, if eligible. Also maybe mention hybrid schedule? That's schedule.
- Pay: compensation $23-$24 per hour.
- Schedule: hybrid schedule, positions dates (Jan-Jun 2027, Jun-Dec 2027). Also mention "This position is based in our Oak Brook, IL office, on a hybrid schedule." So schedule includes hybrid and dates.
We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". We have specific pay range.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must not include boilerplate.
Now produce HTML fragment with headings and appropriate - or

We need to preserve all substantive info; we should not lose any details.
Let's list substantive info:
