On-siteManagementFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. We have Executive Narrative (maybe About the role). Then Key Responsibilities (list). Then Typical Qualifications (list). Then Working Conditions (maybe not a section but could be part of Requirements? Not needed). Physical Requirements (maybe part of Requirements). Perks & Benefits (Benefits). There's no explicit Pay or Schedule. So we should not include Pay or Schedule sections because not stated. Also we should not include sections with placeholder text. We need headings:

for each section. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove Statement on Inclusiveness and About Global Water Technology (these are boilerplate? They are company description; maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Statement on Inclusiveness" and "About Global Water Technology" might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. However they are not part of the job posting core; they are generic company info. Likely we should remove them as they are not substantive to the role. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company description may be considered substantive? Usually they'd be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. However they are not part of the role specifics. I'd lean to remove them to keep focus. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." It doesn't say to remove company description. But it's not a section heading we have; we could include an "About the company" but not in allowed headings. Since allowed headings are limited, we should not add extra sections. So we omit that. Thus sections: - About the role: from Executive Narrative paragraph(s). Could be multiple paragraphs; we can combine into

    . - Responsibilities: from Key Responsibilities (multiple bullet points). We'll make

    • each. - Requirements: maybe from Working Conditions and Physical Requirements? But those are not exactly requirements; they are conditions. Could be placed under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions". Not in allowed headings. Could put under Requirements as prose. But we have also Typical Qualifications which is more like Qualifications. So we need to decide mapping. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have: - About the role: Executive Narrative. - Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities. - Qualifications: Typical Qualifications (list). - Skills: maybe we can extract skills from responsibilities and qualifications? But we should not invent. Could we have a Skills section? The posting does not have a separate skills list; skills are embedded. We could still create a Skills section if we can pull out skill statements from the text. But that would be summarizing/inventing? Might be okay to extract explicit skill statements: "Strong analytical, problem-solving, and diagnostic capabilities", "Excellent written and verbal communication skills", "Ability to translate technical concepts into business-relevant insights", "Experience leading and developing technical or service team members". Those are skills. However they appear in Typical Qualifications. Might be better to put them under Qualifications. But we have both Qualifications and Skills allowed; we could split: Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for abilities. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But we have headings for both; we could include both if they have content. Let's see if we can distinct. Typical Qualifications includes: 10-18+ years experience, advanced technical knowledge, proven ability to manage complex client portfolios, demonstrated success in consultative selling, experience leading and developing technical or service team members, strong analytical, problem-solving, diagnostic capabilities, excellent written and verbal communication skills, Bachelor’s degree preferred, Certified Water Technologist preferred. Thus we could treat education/experience as Qualifications, and the abilities as Skills. But the instruction says preserve all substantive information; we can split. We also have Working Conditions and Physical Requirements; these could go under Requirements (maybe as prose). Or we could create a separate section like "Working Conditions" but not allowed. So we put them under Requirements as prose. Benefits: from Perks & Benefits. Pay and Schedule: not present, so omit. Thus final HTML:
