Production Supervisor, Electrode - D Shift
for each section heading. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. No Pay or Schedule unless present. The posting does not mention Pay or Schedule specifics. So we should not include Pay or Schedule sections. Benefits are present: Benefits & Perks - What's In It For You. So include Benefits heading.
We need to include Overview? Possibly "About the role" heading for overview/summary. The posting includes Overview, Job Summary, etc. We'll combine into About the role.
Responsibilities: there is a Responsibilities heading with bullet list? Actually after "Responsibilities" there is a link and some text then "Meet the Recruiter: Anh Martin Summary ..." then "Job Summary". The responsibilities are described in "Job Summary" and "Essential Duties". We'll extract duties list.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to turn duties into list items. Also requirements/qualifications into list.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format as list items preserving the text. Must not omit any substantive info. That's a lot. We need to include everything: overview paragraphs, responsibilities paragraphs, essential duties paragraphs, qualifications, preferred qualifications, physical demands, benefits details, etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. The posting includes "R-106085" at end; we can drop or put in a p.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes EEO statements near end: "Qualified applicants will receive consideration..." etc. That's boilerplate; we should remove. Also "Pre-employment drug testing is required." maybe keep? It's not boilerplate? Might be considered substantive? It's a requirement. Could keep as part of Requirements? Might be considered a condition. We'll keep as a requirement bullet.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat same sentences.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's structure:
About the role
Overview paragraph(s) ...
Then maybe Responsibilities
- ... each duty
But we have many duties paragraphs; we can break into list items each representing a bullet from the "Essential Duties" sections. Also include the Job Summary as a responsibility? Probably include as part of responsibilities.
We need to preserve all substantive info; if we convert paragraphs into list items, we must ensure we don't lose any info. Could keep paragraphs for overview and then list for duties.
Let's extract sections:

Then there is a YouTube link and "Meet the Recruiter: Anh Martin" etc. That's maybe not needed? It's part of overview? Might be considered boilerplate? It's a recruiter mention. Could keep as part of overview? It's not a duty. We'll include as part of overview paragraph.
