We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. We need to parse the posting: It includes company description, position summary, principal duties & responsibilities (with subpoints), account management, reporting, admin duties, requirements & preferred competencies. We need to reformat into semantic HTML: Use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading (not given). No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO statement, cookie/navigation/legal etc. The posting includes an EEO statement at end: "Huber Engineered Woods is an Equal Opportunity Employer...". Remove that. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions (none). Remove website mention? It's part of company description; we can keep as prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. We need to decide sections: Perhaps "About the role" (position summary), "Responsibilities" (principal duties & responsibilities, account management, reporting, admin duties), "Requirements" (minimum Bachelor's degree etc), "Skills" (maybe combine with requirements?), "Qualifications" maybe same as requirements. But we should not create thin sections. Prefer few substantive sections. We could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements & Qualifications, Skills. But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We only include those with content. We have no info about Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So omit those. We have content for About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (minimum Bachelor's degree etc). Qualifications maybe overlapping with requirements; but we could combine them into one section "Requirements". Or we could have both Requirements and Qualifications if we split content: Minimum Bachelor's degree etc as Requirements; demonstrated record etc as Qualifications? But better to avoid thin sections. Thus we output:

The employee must be able to communicate the value proposition of our products to single- and multi-family customers within a defined territory through interactions with dealers and distributors."

Since only allowed headings are those, we could incorporate company description into About the role section as prose. Thus About the role section will have multiple paragraphs: company description and position summary. We need to use

      for prose. Could combine into one

      but better separate paragraphs. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: EEO statement removed. Now output HTML fragment. Let's craft:
