We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the posting and decide which sections have real content.
The posting includes:
- Intro paragraph about MMR Consulting, opportunity, role description. That could be "About the role" (or maybe "About the role" heading). We'll include that as prose.
- Responsibilities: a long list of duties. We'll put under

- Qualifications: there is a "Qualifications" heading in the source. We'll put under
Qualifications
with - .
- Skills: maybe not explicit but there are skills mentioned (leadership, mentorship, AutoCAD asset, etc). Could be separate "Skills" section. However we have "Qualifications" already covering many. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine skills into Qualifications or Responsibilities. But we have a Qualifications section already; we could also have a Skills section for things like leadership, mentorship, AutoCAD, etc. However the posting already includes leadership/mentor under Qualifications? Actually Qualifications includes: "Possess leadership skills, and be able to take initiative to lead projects... Possess mentorship skills, to coach and develop junior and intermediate employees. Basic knowledge of AutoCAD is an asset." Those could be considered skills. But we can keep them under Qualifications.
We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule content. The posting does not mention benefits, pay, schedule. So we should NOT include those sections.
We need to include "About the role" section with the introductory paragraphs (excluding boilerplate). Let's extract the substantive intro:
"MMR Consulting is an engineering and consulting firm specializing in the pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries. Its services include Engineering, Project Management, and Validation. MMR has offices in Canada, USA, and Australia. This is an outstanding opportunity to join our growing team, where the successful candidate will work with a group of engineers and specialists involved in the engineering and project management of equipment, systems and facilities for life sciences facilities. Some travel to client sites is expected. This role is for a Process Automation engineer to work on the design, project execution and commissioning of process systems in the biopharmaceutical industry."
That's the intro. After that, there is "Responsibilities" heading then list.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all responsibilities bullet points as listed.
Let's extract responsibilities list from the text:
"Responsibilities Provide technical guidance into the design, project management, commissioning and start-up of automation systems, for upgrades, renovations and expansions of client facilities and processes.

Experience with, and knowledge of some of the typical Biotechnology processes & peripheral systems is required; Upstream Biotech Processes (Fermentation, Bioreactors, Centrifugation, Thawing), Downstream / Purification Biotech Processes (chromatography, TFF, DF, NF-MF), Fill & Finish equipment, Media Preparation, CIP/SIP systems, Buffer Preparation, clean utilities (PW, WFI, CS, PS)
Facilitate project management tools throughout the execution of projects, such as procurement tracking, vendor management, meeting minutes / action lists, risk register log, schedule updates, project updates.
Coordinate meetings with cross-functional departments, to drive project progress, facilitate decisions, provide updates.
Travel may be occasionally required for meetings with clients, equipment fabrication vendors or Factory Acceptance Testing (FATs).
Work may require occasional support over shutdowns or extended hours, specifically during installation and commissioning / validation phases.
Client-management (maintain key Client relationships in support of business development and pursuit of new work), project scheduling/budgeting, coordination of client and MMR resources for effective project delivery, supporting business development (providing technical support to the sales as required for proposals/opportunities), presenting at industry conferences/publishing papers etc.
As this position requires working on client sites, you will need to comply with the client’s safety rules including mandatory vaccination policies for COVID-19, where applicable
Visit construction and installation sites.
Supervise contractors during critical installations of process equipment and associated utilities.
Other duties as assigned by client, and/or MMR, based on workload and project requirements."
We need to turn each bullet into
- . Some lines are sentences; we can split by line breaks after each sentence? The original has line breaks after some items. We'll treat each distinct responsibility as a
- . We'll need to preserve the content exactly as given, but we can format as list items.
Potential duplicates: "Provide technical guidance into the design, project management, commissioning and start-up of automation systems, for upgrades, renovations and expansions of client facilities and processes." That's one.
"Support project execution from Feasibility through to project completion/handover, including all project stages such as:" then sublist: Feasibility, Concept Design, Basic Design, Detailed Design, Procurement, Construction, Project Monitoring/Governance, Commissioning & Qualification. We could either keep as a single li with colon and then sublist? But instruction: use

However we need to keep HTML fragment simple; we could make a ul with li for each stage, but the preceding sentence could be its own li or we could incorporate. To preserve all detail, we could make a li: "Support project execution from Feasibility through to project completion/handover, including all project stages such as:" then a nested ul with li for each stage. That's acceptable.
Similarly for other lists.
We'll need to decide on structure.
