We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only if posting has real specific content. We have content: Responsibilities (list), Essential Skills (list), Additional Skills & Qualifications (list), Work Environment (prose), Pay And Benefits (pay range and benefits list), Workplace Type (fully onsite), Application Deadline (date), About Actalent (company description) but that's boilerplate? It's about the company, maybe we can include as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is not present; we have "Job Description" paragraph at start. That could be considered "About the role". We'll treat that as a prose section under

It's about the company, maybe we can include as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is not present; we have "Job Description" paragraph at start. That could be considered "About the role". We'll treat that as a prose section under About the role
. We must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove boilerplate like equal opportunity, accommodation, etc. Also remove Job ID/#ACTmneng26 maybe minor metadata; we can fold into short p or drop. We'll drop it. Also remove "Application Deadline" maybe we can include as a short p under maybe "Details"? But we have no specific heading for deadline; we could include as a short paragraph under a generic "Details" but not required. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we can include sections: About the role (the initial paragraph), Responsibilities, Skills (maybe combine Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications into Skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule? We have standard business hours typically apply, with additional time as needed to meet project deadlines or support testing and inspections. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Workplace Type maybe could be part of Schedule or separate? Not required. Could include Work Environment as a section maybe "Work Environment". But we have limited headings list; we can use any of those headings. We'll choose: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule, Work Environment (maybe not in list but we can still use? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive. So we can add Work Environment as heading if we want. But better to stick to given list to be safe. We can incorporate Work Environment into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to have a separate section "Work Environment". It's not in the list but it's okay as it's a heading. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we can use one of the given headings that matches: maybe "Requirements" for skills and qualifications combined. Or "Qualifications". We'll decide.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract:
About the role paragraph: "The Product Engineer designs, develops, and supports low-voltage and medium-voltage electrical systems, focusing on reliable integration of electrical and control components. This role creates detailed electrical documentation, programs and troubleshoots controller systems, and ensures products comply with relevant industry codes and standards. The Product Engineer collaborates closely with cross-functional teams to deliver cost-effective, manufacturable, and high-performance solutions for power generation, industrial electrical, and control system applications."
Responsibilities list: each sentence after "Responsibilities". We'll make - each.
Skills: Essential Skills list (bulleted) and Additional Skills & Qualifications list. We'll combine into one
under Skills
or Qualifications
. Let's use Skills
.
Benefits: list after "If eligible, the benefits available for this temporary role may include the following:" then list items. We'll output as .
Pay: The pay range: "$60000.00 - $80000.00/yr." We'll put in under
Pay
.
Schedule: "Standard business hours typically apply, with additional time as needed to meet project deadlines or support testing and inspections." We'll put under Schedule
.
Work Environment: we could incorporate into About the role or maybe as a separate section "Work Environment". Since not in list but allowed, we can add Work Environment
. But to be safe, we could add as a paragraph under About the role? Might lose detail. I'd rather add a separate section; it's still substantive.
Also we have Workplace Type: "This is a fully onsite position in Mankato,MN." Could be part of Schedule or Work Environment. We'll add to Work Environment paragraph.
Application Deadline: "This position is anticipated to close on Sep 25, 2026." Could be a short p under maybe Details but not required. We could add a small paragraph under About the role? Might be considered metadata; we could fold into a short p under About the role or drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it. So we can fold the deadline into a short p under About the role or maybe a separate "Details" paragraph. We'll add a short p after About the role: "
Application deadline: Sep 25, 2026.
" That's minor metadata.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: equal opportunity, accommodation, AI, etc. Also remove "About Actalent" description? That's company description; might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive about the employer. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Actalent" is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered company overview; it's not required to keep? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About Actalent" is substantive about the company, but maybe it's considered boilerplate? It's not EEO etc. I'd keep it as a section maybe "About the company". But not in headings list. Could add About the company
. However the instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings. I'd include it as a section.
But we must also remove duplicated lines. There's no duplication.
