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. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role: description of role, POE program details. Could be "About the role" heading. - Responsibilities: list of principle accountabilities (rotate through departments, organize improvements, recommend solutions, attend conferences, collaborate, work with mentor, know policies, strive to strengthen business philosophy). Those are responsibilities. - Requirements: Basic Qualifications (Bachelor of Science in engineering, 0-2 years experience, ability to work shifts, self-driven, travel, valid docs). Also maybe "Must be able to travel..." etc. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (internship/co-op preferred, specific engineering majors, experience with AutoCAD, MS Office, shop floor software, Six Sigma/Lean/SPC). Also "The successful candidate MUST possess the following Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:" which could be Skills. - Skills: list of KSA: interpersonal skills, ability to learn quickly, verbal/written communication, listening/evaluating/problem-solving, create alternative solutions meet deadlines, leadership experience/skills, interpersonal skills/networking, previous team work experience. - Benefits: Paid Vacation, Paid Holidays, benefit coverages medical/dental/vision, life/AD&D/disability, 401k plan with matching. - Pay: Starting salary range $83,000-$86,000. Bonus: Annual – Based upon individual contribution and overall Company performance. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's mention of ability to work first, second, or third shift during production department rotation as needed. That could be schedule info. But schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does mention shift work. So we could include Schedule heading with that detail. But we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, disclaimer? The disclaimer about compensation is maybe okay to keep? It's part of Compensation And Benefits section. It says "Disclaimer: The Compensation and Benefits information ...". Might be considered boilerplate but it's part of the compensation info. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The disclaimer is legal-ish but it's about compensation. Might be okay to keep? Safer to keep it as part of Compensation section? It's not exactly boilerplate like EEO. I'd keep it. Also remove "PCA is an Equal Opportunity Employer Qualified Applicants must apply at careers.packagingcorp.com to be considered." That's EEO and application instruction -> remove. Also remove duplicated lines? Not seeing duplicates. Now produce HTML. Structure:

Preferred Qualifications

but we have Qualifications heading. Could combine Basic and Preferred under Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need separate headings for Requirements (basic), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (KSA). Let's do that. Thus:

Requirements

    for basic qualifications.

    Qualifications

      for preferred qualifications.

      Skills

        for KSA.

        Benefits

          for benefits.

          Pay

          for salary and bonus.

          Schedule

          for shift work. Now ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's extract About the role prose: The description includes: "As a Fortune 500 company, Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) is an ideas and solutions company. Our corrugated packaging business seeks to be the leader in helping our customers — large and small — package, transport and display products of all kinds. Our white paper business delivers Paper With Purpose by providing the highest level of customer service and operational excellence. We have approximately 15,000 team members in more than 100 locations in the United States that strive to meet the local needs of our customers. Our mission is to serve the needs of our customers, today and tomorrow, with products and services that exceed expectations for performance and environmental responsibility. People Customers Trust PCA is currently recruiting for a Plant Optimization Engineer based at the Cincinnati, OH corrugated box plant facility. Description Of Role The Plant Optimization Engineer Position (POE) is a developmental program which focuses on hiring recent college graduates with degrees in engineering (0-2 years experience) into a rotational training experience with the goal of developing them into well-rounded employees and future leaders at PCA. This is a full-time, salaried position with benefits. What is PCA’s POE Program? The POE Program is a 2-year rotational training program designed to give recent engineering graduates in depth, hands-on technical training in the Maintenance and Production departments of a corrugated box plant, and a well-rounded understanding of the corrugated packaging industry as a whole. In addition, POEs will complete engineering process optimization projects throughout the box plant, typically in areas of scrap reduction, throughput improvements, downtime reduction, etc., and will provide engineering support to all plant functions as needed. Upon successful completion of the program, the Plant Optimization Engineer will transition into a new full-time role in the chosen career path either at their current plant, or another plant or paper mill that has an opening that aligns with their skills and interests. Typical career paths for those who have completed the POE Program include box plant leadership/management positions in Production or Maintenance." We need to preserve all that. Might be long but okay. Now Responsibilities: Principle Accountabilities list: - Rotate through all departments at a corrugated plant, completing assigned learning objectives and technical training in each area. - Organize and implement moderate to large process improvements, problem elimination and capital/expense projects focusing on asset health and overall improved reliability. - Recommend and help drive, or implement innovative solutions to improve equipment, facility, and plant operations. - Attend and participate in POE program conferences and assigned off-site training. - Collaborate with other Plant Optimization Engineers, the plant leadership team, and machine and maintenance operators to complete projects. - Work with the POE Mentor/manager to conceptualize a career path to follow the POE program. - Know and follow policies and procedures of the company, share information that would benefit other members of the team and find ways to improve the delivery of service to our customers. - Strive to continually strengthen PCA’s business philosophy of meeting needs and exceeding expectations for customers specifically supporting PCA’s Commitment to Service that involves doing what is right for our customers, focusing on strategies that add value and support growth, and keeping the promises that we make. We'll put each as

        • . Now Requirements (basic qualifications): - A Bachelor of Science degree in engineering is required prior to starting the position. - 0-2 years previous engineering experience, including internships and co-ops, providing technical support in a manufacturing plant or industrial environment. - Ability to work first, second, or third shift during the production department rotation as needed. - Must be self-driven and passionate about working in a hands-on, manufacturing environment. - Must be able to travel as necessary and possess valid documents for travel via air and car. Now Qualifications (preferred): - A minimum of one Internship or Co-op is preferred, especially in a manufacturing environment. - Obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Paper Engineering, Industrial & Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or Engineering Technology is preferred. - Other engineering majors will be considered depending on experience. - Experience with programs such as AutoCAD, Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook as well as experience with manufacturing systems like shop floor software, maintenance work order systems, etc. is preferred. - Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing or Statistical Process Control (SPC) experience preferred. Now Skills (Knowledge, Skills & Abilities): - Solid interpersonal skills to effectively communicate with production team and management. - Ability to learn quickly and put new knowledge into practice. - Solid verbal and written communication skills with the ability to effectively communicate with individuals throughout the company on departmental procedures, policies, practices, and requests for information. - Strong listening, evaluating, and problem-solving skills. - Ability to create alternative solutions and meet deadlines. - Leadership experience or strong leadership skills with the drive to lead others. - Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to network and build relationships with individuals of various experiences and professional levels both within and outside of the company. - Previous work experience as a member of a team, or a strong understanding of the importance of open communication and information sharing between team members. Now Benefits: - Paid Vacation: Three (3) weeks per calendar year. Pro-rata Vacation during the initial year of hire based upon start date within the calendar year. - Paid Holidays. - Within the first 30 days of employment, an employee (and their dependents) is eligible to enroll in certain benefit coverages -- medical, dental, and vision -- and are automatically enrolled in life, AD&D, and disability coverages. - Upon hire, an employee is automatically enrolled in the 401k plan. The plan offers both pre-tax and Roth contribution options along with employer provided matching contributions. Now Pay: - Starting salary range for position: $83,000-$86,000. - Bonus: Annual – Based upon individual contribution and overall, Company performance. - Disclaimer: The Compensation and Benefits information in this posting represents PCA’s good faith and reasonable estimate of what it may pay for this position. The Company reserves the right to modify this information at any time, subject to applicable law. We could include disclaimer as part of Pay section paragraph. Now Schedule: - Ability to work first, second, or third shift during the production department rotation as needed. But that's already in Requirements. However schedule section could mention shift work. Since it's already in Requirements, maybe we don't need separate Schedule. But the instruction says include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state shift work. Could still include but might duplicate. Better to include Schedule with that detail, but we already have it in Requirements. Duplication might be considered duplicated lines? The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should not duplicate the same sentence. So we should not repeat shift info in Schedule if already in Requirements. But we could still have Schedule section referencing shift work but that would be duplicate. Better to omit Schedule section because the shift info is covered under Requirements. However the instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. It doesn't forbid having overlapping content; but duplicated lines should be removed. If we put shift info in both Requirements and Schedule, that's duplicated. So we should either move shift info to Schedule and remove from Requirements, or keep in Requirements and omit Schedule. Which is more appropriate? The shift info is about ability to work shifts, which is a requirement. So it's a requirement. Schedule section is about work schedule; could be separate but we already have it. I'd keep it under Requirements and not create Schedule section to avoid duplication. So we will not include Schedule heading. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Now produce HTML. Make sure to use

          for each heading. Use

          for prose (About the role maybe multiple paragraphs? Could be one

          with all). Use

          • for lists. We must not include any extra text outside HTML fragment. Let's craft. About the role: combine the two paragraphs into one

            maybe with line breaks? We'll just put as one

            with the content. Now produce.
