Quality Technician - Food Manufacturing Environment
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.

Duties/Responsibilities: many bullet-like paragraphs.
We need to produce sections: maybe About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (maybe combine), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
We must remove EEO statement, duplicated lines, etc.
We need to ensure we don't include "This list of duties and responsibilities is not all inclusive..." maybe that's boilerplate? It's a disclaimer; could be considered boilerplate but it's part of duties description. Might keep? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The disclaimer about list not all inclusive is not exactly legal but could be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove? It's not essential substantive info; it's a generic statement. I'd remove it.
Also remove "Employee Type: Full time Location: AZ Tolleson Job Type: Production Group Job Posting Title: Quality Technician - Food Manufacturing Environment" maybe we can incorporate location and schedule etc.
We need to not repeat job title as heading. So we can start with a

We can combine into sections: Requirements (education/experience), Skills (technical/mechanical, safety, communication, personal attributes, physical demands). But we need to avoid too many thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Skills into one Requirements
with sublists? But spec says use for section headings, and - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a single Requirements section with multiple
lists inside? Probably okay.
We also need Benefits section.
Pay section.
Schedule section.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove duplicated lines: there are some duplicated lines like "Perform daily inspections, environmental swabbing, and product inspections." appears twice? Actually appears under Safe Equipment Operation & Maintenance and also later? It appears twice in the bullet list: first bullet "Perform daily inspections, environmental swabbing, and product inspections." and later "Perform daily inspections, preventive maintenance on Quality equipment." Not duplicate exactly. There's also "Perform daily inspections, environmental swabbing, and product inspections." appears only once? Actually appears at start of Safe Equipment Operation & Maintenance and also later? I see "Perform daily inspections, environmental swabbing, and product inspections." appears under Safe Equipment Operation & Maintenance bullet, and also later under "Product Handling, Quality Control & Inventory Management"? No. There's also "Perform daily inspections, preventive maintenance on Quality equipment." So not duplicate.
But there is duplicate line: "Perform daily inspections, environmental swabbing, and product inspections." appears twice? Let's check original: Under Safe Equipment Operation & Maintenance: "Perform daily inspections, environmental swabbing, and product inspections. Verify compliance with established standards Perform daily inspections, preventive maintenance on Quality equipment." Actually there is a missing period; maybe it's two separate sentences combined. So there is "Perform daily inspections, environmental swabbing, and product inspections." and then "Perform daily inspections, preventive maintenance on Quality equipment." So not duplicate.
We'll keep as is.
Now produce HTML.
