Overview
), Specific Duties (Specific Duties
), Desired Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (Desired Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
), Education and Experience Requirements (Education and Experience Requirements
), Starting Salary and Benefits (Starting Salary and Benefits
) maybe separate Pay and Benefits? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content. So we can map:
- Overview: could be "About the role" or "Overview". Use Overview
.
- Specific Duties: could be "Responsibilities".
- Desired Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: could be "Skills" or "Qualifications".
- Education and Experience Requirements: could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications".
- Starting Salary and Benefits: could be "Pay" and "Benefits". Since we have both salary and benefits details, we could make two sections: Pay and Benefits. But instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Benefits into one section "Compensation and Benefits". However they gave examples of headings: Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could do separate if content is substantive. Salary is specific: $55,000 (commensurate...). Benefits list is detailed. So we can have Pay
with salary, and Benefits
with list.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: Application Deadline, Start Date, To Apply, Contact, EEO, etc. Also remove location line? Location is maybe metadata but not a heading; we can fold into a short
or drop it. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Location is minor metadata; we could include a short
at top: Location: remote, central Arkansas preferred (statewide coverage). But they said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Location is not boilerplate; it's relevant. Could keep as a paragraph. We need to preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include overview text, specific duties list, desired knowledge/skills list, education/experience requirements, salary, benefits. We must use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details as given. Let's extract content. Overview paragraph: "In partnership with the Arkansas Prescribed Burn Association (APBA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, local PBAs, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, NRCS, and other partners (local, state, federal, NGO, agriculture based, or otherwise), the Arkansas Prescribed Burn Association Coordinator, or “PBA Coordinator,” will work daily with APBA and all partners and landowners involved in local PBAs to provide support to the growing Prescribed Burn Association program in Arkansas. This position will: Provide prescribed fire-related training to local PBAs;Coordinate accurate and efficient burn acreage reporting from local PBAs to APBA;Track, inventory, order, and distribute prescribed fire equipment to local PBAs;Serve as the direct point of contact for local PBA officers, members, and potential new members;Communicate and report effectively to the APBA Board of Directors;Participate as necessary in prescribed burns with local PBAs;Organize and host new PBA start-up meetings when necessary; andComplete all other duties and responsibilities associated with coordinating PBAs as determined by the QF Arkansas State Coordinator and the APBA Board" We need to keep that as prose? It includes a colon and list separated by semicolons. Could convert to
- for each duty after "This position will:" but the instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should split those into list items. The preceding sentence can be a
. Then list. Specific Duties: a long paragraph with many duties separated by line breaks? It's a paragraph with many sentences. We can split into list items for each duty. Let's parse: "Facilitate day-to-day operations of the APBA to coordinate, equip, train, sustain, and lead PBA efforts in Arkansas and promote the ‘landowners helping landowners’ model" "Serve as a Statewide PBA Outreach Coordinator and Expert in Prescribed Burning" "Instruct PBAs, PBA membership, and landowners interested in PBAs through the burning process, and encourage landowners to participate in a two-day Qualified Prescribed Burner Course" "Lead and develop training efforts in each PBA, and encourage PBAs to continue training efforts on their own" "Assist individual members of PBAs and APBA through the Prescribed Burning process by utilizing their knowledge of fire behavior, fire effects, fire ecology, and the business of prescribed burning" "Assist APBA with the planning of the Annual APBA Statewide Meeting" "Conduct weekly, monthly, and quarterly check-ins with PBA officers, and APBA Directors to ensure effective communication and accountability" "Document, track, inventory, disperse, and coordinate purchasing as feasible, of burn trailers and all equipment for PBAs" "Encourage PBA members to recognize good burn opportunities and complete burns following a prescribed burn plan" "Monitor and facilitate PBA burn reporting with frequent communication and coordination with PBA officers and membership.

"Meet and understand requirements of Quail Forever’s Prescribed Fire Policy, and understand the difference between QF employee requirements and APBA requirements for PBA members and AR landowners." "As necessary, participate in and lead prescribed burns, to include training burns, ensuring adherence to prescription and the safety of participants, neighbors, and the public." "Encourage PBA members to boss their own burns and serve as guidance/support on PBA burns" We need to keep all. Desired Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: list of bullet-like sentences separated by spaces. Let's extract: "Extensive knowledge and experience with prescribed fire, fire ecology, and wildfire as it pertains to the South and Southeast US" "Holds appropriate prescribed fire certifications per National Wildfire Coordinating Group:EX: S-130, S-190, L-180, ICS-100, S-230, S-290, I-700, etc." "Holds Arkansas Qualified Prescribed Burner qualification after employment" "Current Pack Test or ability to acquire Pack Test in first year" "CRWB – Required, RXB2 - Desired" "Knowledge of wildlife ecology, wetland and grassland management including the ability to utilize various habitat management tools in the development of management plans" "Ability to communicate clearly and effectively with all landowners and partners" "Ability to work independently with little supervision and with diverse clientele" "Knowledge of conservation and wildlife programs provided by Federal agencies (i.e. USDA and US Fish and Wildlife Service), state agencies, private and NGO partners, etc." "In addition, knowledge of how these programs are implemented in a Working Lands landscape is desired."

Prescribed fire training, certifications, and field experience as outlined above is required. Knowledge of Forestry and Working Lands agricultural operations is desired." Starting Salary and Benefits: "Starting Salary: $55,000 (commensurate with knowledge, skills, and experience) with annual performance-based raises and the following benefits: Health, vision, dental and more insurance coverage plans are available401(k) Retirement plan with an employer match of up to 5%Student Loan Assistance program of up to $200/month for eligible employeesVehicle Provided.

We must not include "commensurate with experience" as filler? It's part of salary description; it's okay. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary and benefits, so we can. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:
