Senior Mechanical Designer
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, navigation, cookie, legal, application instructions. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- "What You'll Be Doing Job Scope: Generally responsible for performing all aspects for complete designs of mechanical/piping assignments using theoretical knowledge and practical design methods.

Hargrove is a drug-free workplace. The selected candidate must be authorized to work in the United States."
We need to remove EEO etc. So we will drop that paragraph.
We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe job scope), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have content for:
- About the role: The "What You'll Be Doing Job Scope" paragraph.
- Responsibilities: The "Primary Responsibilities Will Include But Not Be Limited To" list.
- Requirements: Could be Education, Certification, Experience? Possibly combine with Qualifications? The instructions: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements could be education/experience; Qualifications could be knowledge/skills/abilities; Skills could be specific abilities. But we must not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. However we must follow the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine some.
We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections have content.
We have:
- About the role: yes.
- Responsibilities: yes.
- Requirements: we have education, certification, experience. That's specific.
- Qualifications: we have "Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" which includes education, experience, capabilities. Might overlap with Requirements. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we have separate headings allowed. To avoid thin sections, maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into a single "Requirements" section that includes education, experience, knowledge, skills. Or we could have "Requirements" for education/experience and "Skills" for technical abilities. But we need to avoid thin sections like "Pay" or "Schedule" which are not present. So we omit those.
Benefits: we have description of benefits package. So we can include Benefits.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits.
We need to decide what goes into each.
About the role: The job scope paragraph.
Responsibilities: list of duties.
Requirements: Education, Certification, Experience (maybe also degree equivalents). Could also include "Associate degree in Engineering Technology or Computer-Aided Drafting is required." "Certification is not required at this level." "Experience: 12+ years of relevant industrial experience..."
Skills: The "Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" list (including degree alternatives, experience, capabilities, CAD proficiency, knowledge of codes, field verification, leadership, etc.)
Benefits: the benefits paragraph.
We must not include fluff like "commensurate with experience" etc. Not present.
We need to format lists with - . For prose, use
.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not needed.
We must not include any markdown fences.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
First, About the role:

Fifth, Benefits:
Benefits
As a 100% Teammate owned company, we proudly offer a comprehensive benefits package including paid holidays, personal paid time off, medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, 401(k), and other benefits to eligible Teammates.
We might also include the Hargrove Culture paragraph? It's not a standard heading; could be part of About the role or Benefits? It's about culture, not benefits. Could be included in About the role as extra prose. But we already have About the role paragraph; we could add another paragraph about culture. However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding culture to About the role would make it more substantive. Let's incorporate the Hargrove Culture paragraph into About the role after the job scope.
Thus About the role will have two paragraphs: job scope and culture.
Let's rewrite About the role:

But note that the benefits sentence appears also in Benefits section; we might duplicate. The culture paragraph includes benefits mention; we already have a Benefits section. To avoid duplication, we could keep culture without benefits mention, but the paragraph includes benefits. We could split: keep culture without benefits, and Benefits section separate. Let's extract culture sentences excluding benefits.
