We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's parse the posting.
First part: "Description Vacancy Information: Current vacancies are with the Community Development Department, in the Building and Safety Bureau and Planning Bureau, and in the Public Works Department. Building And Safety Bureau The Permit Technician position is within the Permitting Division of the Building and Safety Bureau. This position plays a key role in supporting the public and staff in the permit application process. The Permit Technician will offer technical guidance on municipal codes, ordinances, and application procedures both in person and over the phone. The role requires daily use of permitting software to track, process and manager permit record efficiently. Strong customer service skills, attention to detail and the ability to interpret construction documents are essential to this position. Planning Bureau The Permit Technician position is within the Zoning Administration Division of the Planning Bureau. This position will include learning and providing a range of planning and zoning services in person at the permit center, via phone, and virtually. The Permit Technician will complete the review of architectural plans for compliance with the zoning regulations and historic preservation guidelines. This position will require a candidate to work closely with planning and building and safety staff for the processing of ministerial approvals and the communication of regulations to applicants and the public. The Permit Technician role will be closely involved with the use of permitting software in their daily workflow."
That's description of role. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Then "EXAMPLES OF DUTIES" list.
Then "Requirements To File" with options A/B, certification, etc.
Then "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" list.
Then "Desirable Qualifications" bilingual.
Then "SELECTION PROCEDURE" details about exam, etc. This is procedural, maybe not needed? The instruction says remove application instructions, but selection procedure may be considered part of process. However they said remove application instructions. The selection procedure includes exam details, etc. Might be considered application instructions. Safer to omit selection procedure? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So selection procedure is application instructions; we should drop it.
Then "Equity And Inclusion" is EEO boilerplate; drop.
Then "J.O.B. ED6AN-26B PT: AG" maybe job ID; drop.
Thus we keep: description (maybe as About the role), Examples of Duties (as Responsibilities), Requirements To File (as Requirements), Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (as Skills), Desirable Qualifications (maybe as Qualifications). Also maybe Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present, so omit.

We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft sections:
About the role
with paragraphs describing the role (both bureaus). Could combine into one with multiple sentences.
Responsibilities
with - each duty from EXAMPLES OF DUTIES.
We need to copy the list exactly as given, preserving details. The list is long sentence with many items separated by semicolons. We need to split into
- items. The original: "Under general supervision, assist architects, engineers, contractors, business owners, and homeowners by providing routine and technical information related to the issuance of permits. Provides technical information regarding routine municipal code requirements and ordinances; assists the public in completing applications and other required forms. Issues permits as authorized; provides customer support and assistance at the public permit processing center and over the phone regarding relatively routine questions about ordinances and codes, permit application process and procedures; assists the public in completing applications and other necessary forms; receives and reviews permit documents and other pertinent information at the public permit processing center in order to verify accuracy and completeness of information; determines permit, plans, and processes requirements for prospective applicants; reviews plans and permit applications for compliance with established codes, ordinances, policies, and procedures; processes permit applications and plan intake; uses architectural and engineering scales to determine dimensions and calculate areas and percentages; calculates a variety of fees for plan check, permits, and other development impact fees and determines construction valuations based on established standards; and performs other related duties as assigned."
We need to break each clause separated by semicolons into separate
- . Also the first sentence maybe separate.
Let's parse:
1. Under general supervision, assist architects, engineers, contractors, business owners, and homeowners by providing routine and technical information related to the issuance of permits.
2. Provides technical information regarding routine municipal code requirements and ordinances;
3. assists the public in completing applications and other required forms.
4. Issues permits as authorized;
5. provides customer support and assistance at the public permit processing center and over the phone regarding relatively routine questions about ordinances and codes, permit application process and procedures;
6. assists the public in completing applications and other necessary forms;
7. receives and reviews permit documents and other pertinent information at the public permit processing center in order to verify accuracy and completeness of information;
8. determines permit, plans, and processes requirements for prospective applicants;
9. reviews plans and permit applications for compliance with established codes, ordinances, policies, and procedures;
10. processes permit applications and plan intake;
11. uses architectural and engineering scales to determine dimensions and calculate areas and percentages;
12. calculates a variety of fees for plan check, permits, and other development impact fees and determines construction valuations based on established standards;
13. and performs other related duties as assigned.
We need to ensure each
- ends with a period maybe.
Now Requirements To File: "To File Candidates must meet option A OR B: (Option A) Two (2) years of paid, full-time equivalent experience involving extensive public contact working in a building, planning, and/or construction environment, with at least six (6) months of the required experience in computerized permit application processing. OR; (Option B) Completion of nine (9) or more college semester units (proof required)* or the equivalent in planning, building inspection technology, engineering, architecture, code enforcement, fire science technology, or a closely related field; and one (1) year of clerical and/or technical paid, full-time equivalent experience involving extensive public contact, in a building, planning, and/or construction environment with at least six (6) months of the required experience in computerized permit applications processing. A Permit Technician certification from the International Code Council (ICC) must be obtained prior to passing probation. Proof of required documents, such as licenses or certifications, must be uploaded to the online application at the time of filing. Any proofs submitted must contain either the applicant's name or other identifying characteristics on the form. Degrees must indicate the field of study and transcripts must indicate a field of study and degree conferred date. Candidates who possess degrees from colleges or universities outside the United States must attach proof of educational equivalence at the time of filing."
We can present as
- each bullet? Could be paragraphs. Use
for prose? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Requirements is a list of options; could be
. We'll do - Option A: ...
- Option B: ...
- A Permit Technician certification from the International Code Council (ICC) must be obtained prior to passing probation.
... etc.
But some sentences are not list items; but we can still use - for each distinct requirement. That's okay.
Now Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list of items separated by semicolons. We'll split similarly.
Desirable Qualifications: "Bilingual/biliterate skills (Spanish, Khmer, or Tagalog) is desired for some positions." That's a single sentence; could be
or
. Since it's a single item, we can use .
Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "This is not an inclusive list." That's part of duties; we should keep? It's a statement; we can include as a
after the list maybe. It's substantive? It says "This is not an inclusive list. A complete list of examples of duties is detailed in the approved PERMIT TECHNICIAN I - II class specification." That's referencing; we can keep as a
after the list.
Now we must not repeat job title as heading. We didn't.
Now output HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
We'll start with
About the role
...
Paragraph: combine the description sentences.
Let's write:

The Permit Technician role will be closely involved with the use of permitting software in their daily workflow.
Make sure grammar: "manager permit record" originally; we corrected to "manage permit records". That's okay; we preserve meaning but slight edit? Might be considered summarizing? It's a minor correction; but we should preserve original wording? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Changing "manager" to "manage" is a correction of typo; might be considered altering. Safer to keep original text exactly: "The role requires daily use of permitting software to track, process and manager permit record efficiently." That's weird but we should keep as is. Also "Strong customer service skills, attention to detail and the ability to interpret construction documents are essential to this position." Keep.
We'll keep original phrasing.
Now Responsibilities .
We'll output each - with the clause exactly as in original, preserving punctuation.
Let's extract each clause exactly:
1. Under general supervision, assist architects, engineers, contractors, business owners, and homeowners by providing routine and technical information related to the issuance of permits.
2. Provides technical information regarding routine municipal code requirements and ordinances
3. assists the public in completing applications and other required forms
