We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, consent, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Need to preserve substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
First part: About AIRCO description: company overview. That could be "About the role"? Actually "About AIRCO" is company description. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" maybe includes company description and position summary. The posting includes "The Position AIRCO is seeking a Process Operator...". So we can put that under About the role.
Responsibilities: list of duties under "What You Get to Do". That's a list.
Requirements: maybe "What You Bring to AIRCO" includes qualifications, experience, etc. Could split into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says we can have both sections if content. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements: minimum qualifications (high school diploma, etc). Qualifications: preferred qualifications (technical certificate, experience). Skills: maybe abilities. But we can combine.
We need to avoid filler sections like Pay or Schedule if not specified. The posting does not mention pay or schedule specifics besides shift work (12-hour rotating shifts). That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that detail. Pay: not mentioned, so omit.
Benefits: described under "Working at AIRCO - In addition to standard medical and dental benefits, that kick in Day 1, we provide:" then list benefits. So Benefits section.
Now we need to extract content.
Let's gather:
About the role: company description + position summary.
Company description: "AIRCO is a world leader in carbon conversion technology, paving the way to global energy security by transforming CO₂ into a valuable resource. Its proprietary AIRMADE™ Technology is an adaptable platform that allows any industry to efficiently produce high-demand, fully-formulated synthetic fuels from waste CO₂ and hydrogen. The company has commercial partnerships with airlines including JetBlue and Virgin Atlantic, amongst others, and has been awarded multiple government contracts, including with NASA and the United States Department of Defense's Defense Innovation Unit. The company has received industry recognition through awards such as Time Best Inventions, Inc. Best in Business, Fast Company World Changing Ideas, and the XPrize for Carbon Removal. AIRCO’s many accolades include winning the prestigious Green Chemistry Challenge Award from the Environmental Protection Agency in October 2023, an award given to organizations that reinvent processes to reduce the generation of hazardous substances and byproducts. AIRCO was also declared a winner for the World Economic Forum UpLink Sustainable Aviation Challenge, which accelerates the development of promising technology pathways that enable widespread uptake of SAF."
Position summary: "AIRCO is seeking a Process Operator to support the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of our New Britain, PA production facility. Operator III is the entry, qualified-operator level in AIRCO's three-level operator progression: Operator III → Operator Technician II → Lead Operator Technician I. This is a safety-critical, non-exempt, shift-based role in a 24/7 operating environment. The role is responsible for operating assigned process systems, monitoring equipment and process conditions, responding to alarms and deviations, maintaining accurate records, and supporting safe production uptime. Maintenance work at this level is performed under supervision unless the employee has been trained, qualified, and authorized to perform the task."
We can combine.
Responsibilities: list from "What You Get to Do". Let's extract each bullet:
- Operate assigned process equipment according to SOPs, operating instructions, and supervisor direction.
- Monitor process conditions using control systems, field instruments, alarms, gauges, flowmeters, pressure indicators, temperature indicators, and other operating data.
- Perform routine rounds, collect samples, inspect equipment, and identify leaks, abnormal readings, equipment issues, unsafe conditions, or process deviations.
- Safely handle hazardous chemicals, compressed gases, cylinders, gas and liquid feeds, process materials, and related equipment.
- Respond to alarms, deviations, shutdowns, and emergency situations in accordance with SOPs, training, and supervisor direction.
- Record accurate operating data, shift notes, batch/run information, open issues, and follow-up items.
- Conduct clear shift handovers and escalate equipment issues, process concerns, safety risks, and maintenance needs.
- Support basic troubleshooting, tubing/piping work, installs, modifications, and return-to-service activities under approved direction when trained and authorized.
- Read unit P&IDs and process documentation to support safe operation, troubleshooting, and line-up verification.
- Complete required training and maintain site-specific operator qualifications and task-specific authorizations.
That's a list.
Requirements: maybe "High school diploma or equivalent required." plus maybe ability to work shifts, etc. But those are also in "What You Bring to AIRCO". Let's parse that section:
"What You Bring to AIRCO
High school diploma or equivalent required.
Technical certificate, associate degree, military technical training, process technology training, or equivalent industrial experience preferred.
Experience in chemical processing, petrochemical, refining, pharmaceutical manufacturing, industrial gas, hydrogen systems, pilot plant operations, or similar process operations preferred.
Ability to read and follow SOPs, safety procedures, operating instructions, P&IDs, and process documentation.
Strong safety mindset, attention to detail, and ability to recognize abnormal conditions and escalate concerns.
Ability to work 12-hour rotating shifts, including nights, weekends, holidays, and overtime as required.
Ability to work in loud indoor/outdoor industrial environments around chemicals, compressed gases, pressure systems, rotating equipment, elevated temperatures, and industrial equipment.
Ability to wear required PPE and lift up to 50 pounds, climb stairs/ladders, stand and walk for extended periods, bend, reach, and perform physical tasks associated with plant/production facility operations."
Then "Bonus Points" list: experience in production facility, pilot plant, startup, R&D, turnaround, commissioning, startup/shutdown, or return-to-service environments. Hands-on experience with pumps, valves, compressors, reactors, pressure systems, tubing, Swagelok fittings, control systems, instrumentation, or hazardous materials. Experience with routine rounds, sample collection, alarm response, batch/run logs, P&IDs, process flow diagrams, or equipment documentation. Experience with lockout/tagout, hazard communication, permit-to-work, line-breaking, powered industrial trucks, emergency response, OSHA training, HAZWOPER, First Aid/CPR/AED, or similar industrial safety training.
We can treat "What You Bring to AIRCO" as Requirements (minimum) and "Bonus Points" as Preferred Qualifications or Skills. But we have separate sections for Qualifications and Skills. Let's assign:
- Requirements: high school diploma or equivalent required; ability to work shifts; ability to work in environment; ability to wear PPE and lift etc. Also ability to read/follow SOPs etc. Those are more like skills but could be requirements.
- Qualifications: technical certificate, associate degree, etc preferred; experience in chemical processing etc preferred.
- Skills: ability to read/follow SOPs, safety mindset, attention to detail, recognize abnormal conditions, etc. Also bonus points: hands-on experience with specific equipment, lockout/tagout, etc.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide:
Section "Requirements": Minimum qualifications: high school diploma or equivalent required; ability to work 12-hour rotating shifts; ability to work in loud indoor/outdoor industrial environments; ability to wear required PPE and lift up to 50 pounds, climb stairs/ladders, stand/walk extended periods, bend, reach, perform physical tasks.
Section "Qualifications": Preferred: technical certificate, associate degree, military technical training, process technology training, or equivalent industrial experience; experience in chemical processing, petrochemical, refining, pharmaceutical manufacturing, industrial gas, hydrogen systems, pilot plant operations, or similar process operations.
Section "Skills": Ability to read and follow SOPs, safety procedures, operating instructions, P&IDs, and process documentation; strong safety mindset, attention to detail, ability to recognize abnormal conditions and escalate concerns; (maybe also ability to read P&IDs etc). Bonus points: hands-on experience with pumps, valves, compressors, reactors, pressure systems, tubing, Swagelok fittings, control systems, instrumentation, or hazardous materials; experience with routine rounds, sample collection, alarm response, batch/run logs, P&IDs, process flow diagrams, or equipment documentation; experience with lockout/tagout, hazard communication, permit-to-work, line-breaking, powered industrial trucks, emergency response, OSHA training, HAZWOPER, First Aid/CPR/AED, or similar industrial safety training.
We could also include "Ability to work 12-hour rotating shifts" under Requirements, but also schedule section could capture shift info. Since schedule section is separate, we could put shift details there. However schedule section should only be included if posting actually states schedule specifics. It does: "Ability to work 12-hour rotating shifts, including nights, weekends, holidays, and overtime as required." So we can put that in Schedule section.
Thus Requirements may not need shift info. But we can keep shift info in Schedule.
