We need to output HTML fragment only, with sections for headings where there is real content. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro paragraph: "Our curiosity has made us a driving force in automation technology for decades. Today, we have more than 20,000 employees all over the world working towards our vision of inspiring customers with intelligent and intuitive industrial automation solutions. We want to keep the world moving, so we’re looking for inventive talents and team players – in other words, colleagues who can make a real contribution. We look forward to receiving your application and getting to know you better!" This is generic company description; could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" heading is for role description. The intro is more about company. Could be placed under "About the role" or maybe we can have a section "About the role" containing that overview plus Position Overview. The posting includes "Position Overview Festo is seeking an experienced Quality System Consultant / Auditor to lead and support quality management initiatives across our operations located in North and South America. This role requires a strategic thinker with deep expertise in quality management systems, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement methodologies. The candidate will serve as a trusted advisor to facility leadership by proactively identifying key challenges related to Quality compliance and translating them into actionable business improvements and solutions."
Thus we can have an "About the role" section containing that overview plus maybe the intro.
Then "Key Responsibilities" heading -> Responsibilities section.
Then "Required Qualifications" heading -> Requirements or Qualifications? The spec says we can use Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide. The posting has "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Also there is a list of skills etc. We could combine Required Qualifications under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Since they ask to prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have a "Requirements" section containing both required and preferred qualifications? But we need to preserve all info. Could split into "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications" but those are not in the allowed headings list (they are not exactly). Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map Required Qualifications to either Requirements or Qualifications. Preferred Qualifications could go under Skills or Qualifications as well. Since they said prefer few substantive sections, we could combine required and preferred into a single "Requirements" section, but we need to differentiate? Not required to differentiate; just preserve all info. So we can put all qualification info under a

Not required to differentiate; just preserve all info. So we can put all qualification info under a Requirements
and list them.
Skills: The posting includes many skill items (knowledge of standards, problem solving, etc.) Could be placed under Skills section. But we already have many details in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could put all under Requirements and not have Skills. But we need to follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we have three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including qualifications and skills), Benefits. That seems reasonable.
We must not include Pay or Schedule sections because not mentioned.
Benefits: The posting includes a Benefits paragraph. So we include Benefits section.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove that.
Now we need to format using for headings, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide what constitutes a list. The responsibilities are a list of items (Consulting & Advisory, Audit & Assessment, Compliance & Standards, Training & Development) each with sub-bullets. We can treat each top-level as
- and inside maybe
for sub-items? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a
for responsibilities, each duty as - . Inside each
- we can have
for prose or nested
for sub-items? Might be okay to have nested . But to keep simple, we can put each duty as - with the description as text (including sub-bullets as separate sentences). Could also break sub-items into
- . Probably fine.
Similarly for qualifications: many items separated by periods. Could be a list.
Benefits: list of benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, Flexible Spending Programs, Short-term and Long-term disability, 401k, Pet Insurance, Paid Holidays, Paid time off, Educational assistance and many more. We can make a

Now we need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
