for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes: Company Overview (maybe not needed as a heading? Could be "About the role"? Actually "Company Overview" is not one of the listed headings but we could treat as "About the role"? The instructions list example headings but not mandatory to use exactly those; they say use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those headings if appropriate. We have content: Job Summary (could be "About the role" or "Job Summary"? Might map to "About the role". Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities. Skills/Qualifications: Skills / Qualifications. Benefits: Total Rewards (benefits). Pay: Not specified (just "competitive salary" but no amount). Since they said never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. They do state benefits (list). So we can include Benefits section. Pay: they say "competitive salary" but no specific number; that's vague; maybe we should not create Pay section because it's not specific. Schedule: not mentioned. So we will have sections: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities, Skills / Qualifications, Benefits.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: Company Overview? Might be considered substantive? It's descriptive of company; maybe we could include as part of About the role? But instructions: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could we include Company Overview as a paragraph under About the role? Probably we can incorporate it into About the role section as prose. However they said "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". So we can start with About the role
then a paragraph that includes Company Overview and Job Summary combined.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So Responsibilities list as ul. Skills/Qualifications maybe also list? It's a list of bullet-like items but currently in paragraph with semicolons. We could convert to ul for clarity. Benefits list as ul.
We must not include EEO boilerplate etc. Remove "Our Commitment To a Diverse Workforce" etc. Also remove "Please, no phone calls or emails." etc.

- Apply structured problem-solving methods (A3, DMAIC, 5-Why, fishbone) to eliminate recurring quality, throughput, and downtime losses.
- Establish and track process performance metrics (OEE, scrap, cycle time, changeover time) and report savings and progress to site leadership.
- Document process changes and update standard operating procedures, process flows, and layouts.
Skills / Qualifications:

- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Basic and optional life insurance
- Short‑ and long‑term disability coverage

We should not include "competitive salary" as a separate Pay section; we can keep it in benefits paragraph? Actually it's part of Total Rewards sentence. We'll keep as part of benefits section prose maybe.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
