for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate (EEO etc). Also remove duplicated lines.
We must include a section only when posting has real specific content; never emit heading with filler placeholder.
We need to decide sections.
Let's extract content:
- Position Overview: description of role, responsibilities high-level.
- Where You'll Work: location: Lawton, Michigan, 24/7 manufacturing facility.
- What You'll Do: list of duties (many bullet-like sentences). We'll turn into
- .

- Schedule: Flexibility to work second or third shift in a five-day production environment, including weekend coverage when business needs require. This is schedule info.
We could combine Who You Are and What You'll Need into Requirements/Qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps have sections: About the role (Position Overview + Where You'll Work), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (Who You Are + What You'll Need), Benefits (What You'll Enjoy), Pay, Schedule.
Check each section for substantive content.

Pay: The anticipated hiring base salary range for this position is $75,000 to $85,000 annually for US-based employees. This range reflects the minimum and maximum for the position across all US locations, is based on a full-time work schedule, and is Welch’s good faith estimate as of the date of this posting. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. In addition to base salary, this role is eligible for participation in a bonus plan.
We'll put in
.
Schedule: Already covered in Who You Are flexibility, but we can still have a Schedule section: "Flexibility to work second or third shift in a five-day production environment, including weekend coverage when business needs require." We'll put as
.
We must not duplicate content; but it's okay if appears in both Requirements and Schedule? Might be duplicate. Better to keep schedule info only in Schedule section, and remove from Requirements? But Requirements includes flexibility as part of Who You Are. If we remove it from Requirements, we lose that info. However we could keep it in Requirements and not have separate Schedule section, but the instruction says include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state flexibility to work second or third shift etc. So we could have Schedule section with that sentence, and we could keep it also in Requirements? That would be duplication. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid duplication. We could keep flexibility in Requirements and not have Schedule section, but then we would not have a Schedule section despite the info being present. However the rule: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". It doesn't say we must include Schedule if present; it's optional but we can include if we want. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine schedule info into Requirements or Benefits? Probably better to keep Schedule separate to avoid thin sections? But we already have many sections. Could merge schedule into Requirements (makes Requirements less thin). Let's decide: We'll keep Schedule as its own section, and we will remove the flexibility bullet from Requirements to avoid duplication. But then we lose the explicit statement about flexibility in Requirements; but it's still present in Schedule section. That's okay because we preserve all info somewhere.
Thus Requirements will contain Who You Are (excluding flexibility) and What You'll Need.
Let's list Who You Are without flexibility:
- A hands-on leadership style and a genuine interest in coaching and developing people.
- The confidence to address performance issues directly while providing clear, constructive feedback.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to make decisions in a fast-moving manufacturing environment.
- A focus on safety, quality, productivity, cost, and continuous improvement.
- Ability to work collaboratively across Production, Maintenance, Quality, Sanitation, and other plant functions.

Now ensure we removed boilerplate: EEO etc removed.
Now output HTML fragment with headings
and content.
We'll wrap each section in maybe but not required. Just output headings and content.
