We need to output HTML fragment with headings for each section we include.
Potential sections:
- About the role (or About the position) - could include agency description and division overview.
- Responsibilities - list of duties: analyzing utility filings, evaluating datasets, developing analytical tools and reports, researching emerging issues, providing recommendations.
- Requirements - maybe minimum qualifications? Or we could have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). But instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements (minimum qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Or we could combine but better separate.
- Skills - maybe list of skills from preferred qualifications: experience researching, developing, analyzing, reviewing and interpreting numerical or technical data on complex subjects; experience using Microsoft Excel and data visualization software (e.g., Tableau); experience reviewing and validating mathematical calculations, working with large datasets, applying quantitative analysis techniques; experience preparing written reports, summaries, or presentations to communicate technical or analytical information. Those could be under Skills.
- Benefits - mention comprehensive benefits package and link.
- Schedule - work schedule details.
We should not include Pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is Energy Efficiency Analyst (implied). We'll not use that as heading.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact phrasing? We can keep the substance but not necessarily copy verbatim; we must not lose detail. We'll try to keep the details.
Let's extract:

Now produce HTML fragment with
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, etc. We need to parse the posting and extract relevant content. Let's read the posting: - Agency Information: The Public Utility Commission of Texas: Your Gateway to a Fulfilling Career! (maybe not needed) - NOTICE TO APPLICANTS: many instructions about application, required docs, etc. This is boilerplate/application instructions; we must remove. - The Public Utility Commission regulates... (description of agency) maybe part of About the role? Could be used for About the role. - Join a Team Dedicated to Public Service ... (some description) - Make a Difference with Us ... (some description) - Competitive Benefits Package ... (mention benefits, link) - Ready to Make a Difference? Apply Today! (application instruction) - DIVISION - EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DEPARTMENT - ENERGY EFFICIENCY - About The Executive Director's Division ... (some description) - Critical Infrastructure Security and Risk Management ... (description) - Energy Efficiency ... (description) - Help Shape the Future of Energy Efficiency in Texas! ... (some motivational) - The Energy Efficency Department ... seeking an Energy Efficiency Analyst to perform complex analytical and technical work supporting the regulation of energy efficiency programs for Texas¿ investor-owned electric utilities. This position is responsible for analyzing utility filings, evaluating complex datasets, developing analytical tools and reports, researching emerging energy efficiency and regulatory issues, and providing recommendations that support Commission initiatives and regulatory proceedings. The ideal candidate is a critical thinker who enjoys solving complex problems, working with data, and collaborating with a team dedicated to advancing energy efficiency across Texas. If you're passionate about solving complex problems, working with data, and making a meaningful impact through public service, we encourage you apply and become part of a collaborative team dedicated to advancing energy efficiency across Texas. - The ideal candidate should possess the following minimum qualifications. Applicants must meet all the required minimum qualifications to be considered for this position. Bachelor's degree in accounting, economics, mathematics, statistics, data analytics, or a related field. At least one year of experience applying analytical, quantitative, research, or data analysis skills through employment, internships, research projects, or similar experience. - Preferred Qualifications: list. - WORK SCHEDULE: description. - VETERAN'S PREFERENCE: description (maybe not needed as it's boilerplate? Might be considered metadata but it's specific content about veteran preference; but we might drop as it's not a core section? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Veteran's preference maybe minor metadata; could be dropped. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; is veteran preference substantive? It's about eligibility; but it's not core job description. Might be considered metadata; but we could include as a short paragraph under maybe "About the role" or separate? The instruction says to prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we likely drop veteran's preference. - A detailed job description can be viewed on our website: link (maybe drop as it's a reference) - Starting salary will be determined based on the selected candidate's qualifications and experience within the advertised salary range. The salary of an ERS retiree or non-contributing member may be 6% less than the recommended salary. (This is Pay info, but not specific numbers; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It states salary will be determined based on qualifications within advertised salary range, but no actual range given. That's vague; we should not create Pay section because it's not specific. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state schedule (WORK SCHEDULE) with specifics, so we can include Schedule. Benefits: they mention Competitive Benefits Package and link to details; that is stating benefits exist, but not detailing them. Is that enough to create Benefits section? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state they offer a comprehensive benefits package and provides a link for details. That is stating benefits exist, but not detailing. I'd argue we can include a Benefits section with a short paragraph referencing the link, as it's substantive that they offer benefits. However we must not invent details; we can just say they offer a comprehensive benefits package, see link for details. That's acceptable. - REMARKS: many legal boilerplate; we must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The REMARKS section includes legal statements about accuracy, misstatement, licensure, driving record, selective service, EVerify, etc. That's legal boilerplate; we should remove. Thus we need to extract substantive content: agency description, role description, responsibilities, qualifications (minimum and preferred), schedule, benefits. We need to structure with headings
for each section we include.
Potential sections:
- About the role (or About the position) - could include agency description and division overview.
- Responsibilities - list of duties: analyzing utility filings, evaluating datasets, developing analytical tools and reports, researching emerging issues, providing recommendations.
- Requirements - maybe minimum qualifications? Or we could have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). But instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements (minimum qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Or we could combine but better separate.
- Skills - maybe list of skills from preferred qualifications: experience researching, developing, analyzing, reviewing and interpreting numerical or technical data on complex subjects; experience using Microsoft Excel and data visualization software (e.g., Tableau); experience reviewing and validating mathematical calculations, working with large datasets, applying quantitative analysis techniques; experience preparing written reports, summaries, or presentations to communicate technical or analytical information. Those could be under Skills.
- Benefits - mention comprehensive benefits package and link.
- Schedule - work schedule details.

Now produce HTML fragment with headings and appropriate
or
- . We need to decide which content goes under which heading. About the role: Could combine agency description, division overview, role description. Might be lengthy but okay. Responsibilities: list of duties: analyzing utility filings, evaluating complex datasets, developing analytical tools and reports, researching emerging energy efficiency and regulatory issues, providing recommendations that support Commission initiatives and regulatory proceedings. Requirements: minimum qualifications (Bachelor's degree..., at least one year experience...). Qualifications: preferred qualifications list. Skills: maybe we could merge preferred qualifications into Skills, but we already have Qualifications for preferred. Could treat Qualifications as preferred, and Skills as specific abilities (Excel, Tableau, etc). But the preferred qualifications already include those. To avoid duplication, we could have Qualifications (preferred) and Skills (maybe not needed). However instruction says we can use Skills heading if we have content. We could put under Skills: experience using Microsoft Excel and data visualization software (e.g., Tableau); experience reviewing and validating mathematical calculations, working with large datasets, applying quantitative analysis techniques; experience preparing written reports, summaries, or presentations to communicate technical or analytical information. And under Qualifications (preferred) we could list the broader preferred qualifications: experience researching, developing, analyzing, reviewing and interpreting numerical or technical data on complex subjects. But that seems splitting. Alternatively, we could have Qualifications (minimum) and Skills (preferred). But the instruction list includes Requirements and Qualifications as separate headings. Usually Requirements = minimum qualifications, Qualifications = preferred qualifications. Skills could be separate but we may not need it if we
