Production Manager- 3rd Shift

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must include only sections with real content. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must not include application instructions. Must not include cookie/navigation etc. Must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes "Summary Pay Range: $89,210.00 - $133,810.00" and "Benefits: Subject to plan eligibility..." and "This position requires working onsite five days a week." So we have Pay and Benefits and Schedule (work schedule). So we can include sections: About the role? Actually we have "Job Summary:" and "What You Will Do:" etc. Could map to sections: About the role (maybe job summary), Responsibilities (What You Will Do), Requirements (Degree Requirement, What Will Put You Ahead), Qualifications? Could combine. Also "What You Will Have:" includes competencies (Problem Solving etc.) Could be Skills. Benefits section. Pay section. Schedule section. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay range and benefits list. So include. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no h3 for "Production Manager-3rd Shift". Use h3 for sections. We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details like location Lafayette, IN, domestic relocation assistance, 5-10% travel, etc. Must include those details somewhere, maybe in About the role or a meta paragraph. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, legal disclaimer about job description, etc. Also remove "This Job Description is intended as a general guide..." etc. Also remove "Any offer of employment is conditioned upon the successful completion of a drug screen." Also remove "Caterpillar is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "Not ready to apply? Join our Talent Community." Also remove "Posting Dates: September 23, 2026 - October 5, 2026". Also remove "Visa Sponsorship is not available for this position." Also remove "This position requires working onsite five days a week." Actually schedule info is substantive; we can keep that in Schedule section. But the sentence "This position requires working onsite five days a week." is schedule info; we keep. We also need to keep "Relocation is available for this position." Already have domestic relocation assistance. We need to keep "Additional Information: This position is Lafayette, IN. Domestic relocation assistance is available for this position. This position may require 5-10% travel.Candidates must attach an updated resume." The "Candidates must attach an updated resume." is application instruction; we should remove that. So we keep location, relocation, travel. We need to keep "Degree Requirement: Degree or equivalent experience desired". Keep. We need to keep "What Will Put You Ahead:" list. We need to keep "What You Will Have:" list of competencies. We need to keep "Benefits:" list. We need to keep "Summary Pay Range: $89,210.00 - $133,810.00". We need to keep "This position requires working onsite five days a week." (Schedule). We need to keep "Relocation is available for this position." (maybe in Benefits or meta). We need to keep "Visa Sponsorship is not available for this position." This is maybe not substantive? It's a condition; but it's not boilerplate? It's a specific condition. Might be considered metadata; but we could keep as a short paragraph under Additional Information? However instructions: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Visa sponsorship is maybe minor metadata; we could drop it? It's not about pay/benefits/schedule. Might be considered minor. Safer to drop it? The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we could include a short p with location, relocation, travel, visa sponsorship? But visa sponsorship is a condition; maybe keep as short p. We must not include application instructions like "Candidates must attach an updated resume." So drop that. We must not include "Posting Dates". Drop. We must not include "Any offer of employment is conditioned upon the successful completion of a drug screen." That's also a condition; maybe minor metadata; could drop or keep as short p. I'd drop to keep concise. We must not include EEO etc. Now structure:
