QMED (Vessel)
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text
8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Looking at the content, I need to identify sections. The posting appears to be for a QMED (Qualified Member of the Engine Department) position based on the text "QMED performs assigned tasks including engine room watch."
The content has several clear sections:
- Responsibilities (multiple paragraphs of duties)
- Marine Functions (compliance, schedule, mooring, lifeboats, maintenance, drills, training, rigging, engine room watch, garbage, housekeeping, credential)
- Emergency Response Functions (safety sensitive duties, safety sensitive position, first aid, firefighting, man overboard)
- Security Functions (designated security duties)
- HSE Responsibilities (document/notify, safety programs, stop work authority, PPE, protective equipment, eliminate at-risk behaviors)
- Supervisory Functions (impart knowledge, on-the-job training, navigate MS, additional duties)
- Work Environment (work in locations not accessible to definitive medical care)
- Physical Demands (multiple requirements)
- Other Duties (disclaimer about job description not comprehensive)
- EEO statement (boilerplate - should remove)
- Powered by ExactHire: 210228 (metadata - drop)
I need to organize this into logical sections. The posting doesn't have explicit "About the role" or "Requirements" sections, but I can infer from content.
Let me structure:
1. Responsibilities - this is the main duties section
2. Marine Functions - specific marine duties
3. Emergency Response Functions
4. Security Functions
4. HSE Responsibilities
5. Supervisory Functions
6. Work Environment
7. Physical Demands
8. Other Duties (maybe keep as a note)
But the rules say: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". All these have content.
I should combine related items. For example, "Marine Functions" and "Responsibilities" might overlap. The first paragraph says "Responsibilities Cleaning the engine room..." then "Marine Functions Adhere to and comply...". They are separate headings in the source.
I'll keep them as separate sections as they appear.
Also, there's a schedule mention: "This position requires working 7 days a week on a rotating schedule, with shifts lasting at least 12 hours within each 24-hour period. Occasionally, shifts may extend, but will not exceed 14 consecutive hours." That's schedule information. Should I create a Schedule section? The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state schedule, so I could include a Schedule section. But it's embedded in Marine Functions. I could extract it.
Similarly, there's mention of "Holds a valid merchant mariner credential" - that's a requirement/qualification.
And "Emergency Response Functions Safety Sensitive Duties..." includes drug testing info.
I need to decide on sections. Let me list potential sections with content:
- Responsibilities (engine room cleaning, hand tools, assist engineer, report shortcomings, QMED tasks)
- Marine Functions (compliance, schedule, mooring, lifeboats, maintenance, drills, training, rigging, engine room watch, garbage, housekeeping, credential)
- Emergency Response Functions (safety sensitive duties, safety sensitive position, first aid, firefighting, man overboard)
- Security Functions (designated security duties)
- HSE Responsibilities (document/notify, safety programs, stop work authority, PPE, protective equipment, eliminate at-risk behaviors)
- Supervisory Functions (impart knowledge, on-the-job training, navigate MS, additional duties)
- Work Environment (locations not accessible to definitive medical care)
- Physical Demands (multiple physical requirements)
- Other Duties (disclaimer)
The EEO statement and ExactHire metadata should be removed.
Now, for each section, I need to use
for heading, and - for lists,
for prose.
The content is mostly lists of duties. I'll convert each bullet-like item into
- . Some are paragraphs.
I need to preserve all substantive information.
Let me start writing HTML.
First, Responsibilities section: The first paragraph "Responsibilities Cleaning the engine room and all the machinery. Should be familiar with the use of hand tools and the machinery layout of the vessel. Assist Engineer as needed. Report any shortcomings, inaccuracies, or conflicts in any portion of the MS to the Master or Engineer QMED performs assigned tasks including engine room watch."
This is a mix of sentences. I'll make each sentence a list item? Or keep as prose? The rule: "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose." This looks like a list of duties. I'll make each duty a list item.
But "QMED performs assigned tasks including engine room watch." is a statement.
I'll create a list.
Similarly for Marine Functions: multiple duties.
I'll create sections accordingly.
Note: The heading "Responsibilities" appears in the text as "Responsibilities Cleaning the engine room...". I'll use
Responsibilities
.
Similarly "Marine Functions", "Emergency Response Functions", "Security Functions", "HSE Responsibilities", "Supervisory Functions", "Work Environment", "Physical Demands", "Other Duties".
For Physical Demands, there are many requirements. I'll list them.
For Work Environment, only one sentence: "Work in locations not accessible to definitive medical care". That's a single prose, maybe .
But rule: include section only when real content. It has content.
Now, the schedule info is inside Marine Functions. I could keep it there or create a separate Schedule section. Since the rule says never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state schedule, but it's under Marine Functions. I'll keep it in Marine Functions to avoid thin sections.
Similarly, credential requirement is in Marine Functions.
Now, let's write.
I'll output only the HTML fragment.
I'll start with
