We need to separate mandatory vs preferred. The instruction: Use sections Requirements, Qualifications, Skills.

Mandatory (Requirements): - High School Diploma or GED required. - 1–2 years of experience in food manufacturing, food quality assurance, or a related role. - Current Oregon Food Handler Certification (or ability to obtain within required timeframe). - Ability to stand and walk for extended periods, work in refrigerated environments, and lift up to 50 pounds occasionally. - Comfortable working in a food manufacturing environment with exposure to allergens, sanitation chemicals, and production equipment. Maybe also "Working knowledge of HACCP, GMPs, SSOPs, Preventive Controls, allergen management, and food safety principles." Could be considered required knowledge; but it's listed under What We’re Looking For without "required" or "preferred". Might be considered required. We'll treat as required. Qualifications (preferred): - Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Food Science, Microbiology, Food Technology, Quality Assurance, or a related field preferred. - HACCP and PCQI certifications are a plus. - Bilingual English/Spanish skills are a plus. Skills: - Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams. - Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills. - Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams. We could also include "Working knowledge of HACCP, GMPs, SSOPs, Preventive Controls, allergen management, and food safety principles." as a skill? But it's knowledge.

We might also include FLSA Status Hourly Non-Exempt but not needed. Location & Transportation: Could be included maybe as a short paragraph under a generic "Location" but not in prescribed headings. Since not in list, we could drop or incorporate into a short p under maybe "About the role"? But instruction: only include sections when posting has real specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler. Location is not in the prescribed headings list, but we could include as a
without heading? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for those sections. Probably we should not add extra headings; we can include location info as a
under maybe a generic section? But we have no heading for location. Could just include as a
without heading? The instruction: Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. It didn't say we cannot have stray
without heading. But better to keep within the given headings. However location is substantive; we could put it under a
after the heading sections? Might be okay. But we could also incorporate location into a short paragraph under "About the role"? Not ideal. Maybe we can add a heading "Location" but not in the list; risk of violating instruction. Safer to omit location? But instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include location info. We could add a
without a heading after the sections. That should be fine. Similarly, "About Elephants" paragraph is substantive; we could include as a
maybe under a heading "About the Company"? Not in list. But we could include as a
after sections. But the instruction says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those for those sections. It might be okay to add other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. However we have substantive info about company and location that doesn't fit those headings. We could incorporate them into a
under "About the role"? Not accurate. Maybe we can treat "About Elephants" as part of "About the role"? No. We could add a
"About the Company" but not in list; risk. Given the instruction to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones, maybe we can combine company description and location into a single
after the sections without a heading. That preserves info. Let's do that: after all sections, add a
containing the About Elephants paragraph and location/transportation info. Now produce HTML. Structure:
