On-siteManufacturingFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Overview, Job Summary, Responsibilities (with sub-sections), Qualifications (Required, Preferred), Benefits & Perks, Physical Demands maybe not needed unless we include as a section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content to these headings. The posting includes Overview (maybe About the role), Responsibilities, Qualifications (Required and Preferred), Benefits & Perks, Physical Demands (maybe not a standard heading; could be omitted). No Pay or Schedule info given, so omit those sections. Also we should not repeat job title as heading. Also we should not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some fluff like "Overview Do you want to join a team..." etc. We need to preserve substantive information. So we need to extract: - About the role / Overview: The introductory paragraphs about joining team, mission, location De Soto, Kansas, building world's largest lithium-ion battery factory, etc. Also includes "Job Summary" paragraph about Safety Specialist role. We can combine into an About the role section. - Responsibilities: The list under "Essential Duties" broken into Functional Operations, Performance Optimization & Continuous Improvement, Training & Team Support, Cross-Functional Collaboration & Communication, Quality, Safety & Compliance, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Requirements. We need to output as
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So each bullet point can be a
  • . We can group under subheadings? Not required; just list items. But we could keep subheadings as plain text? The instruction: Use

    for section headings. Subheadings inside responsibilities not required to be h3. We can just output a
      with items. - Requirements / Qualifications: There's "Qualifications Requirements - Required and/or Preferred" with sub-sections: Required Education, Certifications, and Licenses; Preferred; Essential Qualifications; Preferred Qualifications; Physical Demands. We need to output as
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can list each requirement as a bullet. - Benefits: The "Benefits & Perks - What's In It For You" section with bullet-like paragraphs. We'll output as
        • . - Physical Demands: Might be considered a section but not in the list of standard headings. Could omit or include as a separate section? The instruction says use those headings for section headings; but we can also add other headings if needed? It 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 those as examples. Safer to stick to those. Physical Demands could be placed under Requirements or Qualifications as a bullet. We'll include as a bullet under Qualifications. - Skills: Not explicitly listed; we could omit. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include application instructions, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

          About the role

          ...

          Then

          Responsibilities

          We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. About the role: Combine overview paragraphs: "Do you want to join a team that's changing the world? Do you have a strong background as a Safety Specialist? Then we're looking for you! Check out the job description and apply now! Put your skills to meaningful use, gain unique experience, and work with world-class team members with diverse backgrounds and expertise who share the same vision. Join the PECNA team today!" Then there is a YouTube link and "Meet the Recruiter: Anh Martin". That's maybe not substantive? It's a link to external site; maybe we can keep as part of overview? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The YouTube link is not boilerplate but it's an external link; maybe we keep? It's part of the posting but not essential. Could keep as a link? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the link as is? It's a URL. We'll keep it as plain text or as ? The instruction didn't forbid . It didn't say to strip links. We'll keep as plain text. Then "Summary Join us at Panasonic Energy as we expand to De Soto, Kansas, where we’re building the world’s largest lithium-ion battery factory. This is an exciting opportunity to grow your career while contributing to the future of electric vehicles. As part of our team, you’ll help push the limits of battery technology, enhancing performance and efficiency in sustainable transportation.

          tags. Now Responsibilities: We need to list each duty.

It is intended to be an accurate reflection of the general nature and level of the job. We'll include each bullet as
