Information TechnologyPart-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of SMS, mission, etc. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". Only include sections that have real content. The posting includes responsibilities list, qualifications list, required qualifications, certifications, clearance. It does not mention benefits, pay, schedule. So we should not include those sections. Also we should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include maybe "About the role" as a heading for the introductory paragraph describing the role and mission. Then "Responsibilities" for the list of duties. Then "Qualifications" for required qualifications, certifications, clearance. Possibly "Skills" could be derived but not explicit separate list; we could combine into Qualifications. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. Use

for each heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to remove the EEO statement, the "SMS is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." line, also "Req # 2026-5497" maybe minor metadata, we can fold into a short

    or drop it. Probably we can include a short paragraph with Job ID? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include a

    with "Req # 2026-5497" maybe at end. Also remove "Submit your resume today!" (application instruction). Also remove "For additional information on SMS, visit www.sms.com ." maybe considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal but could be considered extra; but it's substantive info about SMS? Might be considered boilerplate but it's a link to website. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link to website is not explicitly listed; but it's maybe considered navigation? Safer to keep? It's not essential to role; but it's not prohibited. However we might drop it as it's not substantive about the job. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The link is not substantive about the job; it's just company info. Could be considered boilerplate. I'd drop it. Also remove duplicated lines: there are many repeated "Provide ... support" lines in responsibilities. We need to keep them but not duplicate? The list includes many lines like "Provide General IT Management support.", "Provide General Networking support.", etc. They are separate items; we should keep each as separate

  • . Not duplicate. We need to ensure we don't miss any responsibilities: Let's extract responsibilities block: "Job Responsibilities Ensure correct installation, configuration, use and maintenance of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (SCCM) platform. Package, test, and deploy automated desktop applications installations and patches within the MECM framework. Develop user guidance documents and installation instructions. Test and validate IT systems security patches and hot-fixes as defined by Information Assurance Vulnerability Alerts (IAVA), Time Compliance Network Orders (TCNO), and local security guidance.

We need to turn each sentence into list items. Some sentences contain multiple actions separated by commas; but we can keep as one
  • . Might be okay. Now qualifications block: "Required Qualifications Associates in related field and 3 or more years’ relevant IT experience; or 5 or more years’ relevant IT experience. Unix/Linux and HBSS experience. Must possess experience and demonstrate an understanding with installation of Microsoft Windows Server in Host and Compute Environments, and Windows Server using server images.

Certifications Required Comptia Network+CE or CCNA ITIL Foundation (candidate has up to 60 days to acquire ITIL Foundation certification) Clearance Required Department of Defense Secret security clearance or the ability to obtain an Interim Secret clearance." We need to format as list items under Qualifications. Could separate each bullet: Education/experience, Unix/Linux and HBSS, Windows Server experience, storage solutions etc., AD DS experience, Certifications, Clearance. We also have introductory paragraph about SMS and mission etc. That can be under About the role. Let's craft About the role paragraph: combine the description: "SMS is seeking a skilled Patch Management Administrator to manage, maintain, and optimize Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM/SCCM) capabilities in support of AFCENT enterprise security, software distribution, and vulnerability management operations. The ideal candidate will bring strong MECM administration, configuration management, reporting, documentation, troubleshooting, and collaboration experience, with the ability to support distributed sites, maintain Data-At-Rest solutions, coordinate vulnerability communications, and contribute to enterprise datacenter planning and deployment efforts.
