We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use for each heading only if there is real content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, deadline, etc. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the job description.
Job Title: Senior Production Planner (not used as heading)
Job Description paragraph: "The Senior Production Planner supports manufacturing operations..." This is prose about the role. Could go under About the role.
Responsibilities: list of bullet points (starting with Manage production schedules...). We'll put under

We need to parse the job description.
Job Title: Senior Production Planner (not used as heading)
Job Description paragraph: "The Senior Production Planner supports manufacturing operations..." This is prose about the role. Could go under About the role.
Responsibilities: list of bullet points (starting with Manage production schedules...). We'll put under Responsibilities
with - each.
Essential Skills: list of bullet points (starting with Minimum of 3 years...). Could be under Skills or Requirements. The instruction: Use headings for sections like Skills, Requirements, Qualifications. We need to decide what content fits where. The posting includes "Essential Skills". That's skills. Also there is "Job Type & Location" (Contract position based out of Fort Worth, TX). That's maybe Schedule? Actually schedule not given. Workplace Type: fully onsite. That could be Schedule? Not exactly schedule. There's no explicit schedule (like full-time, part-time). So we may omit Schedule heading.
Pay And Benefits: includes pay range and benefits list. So we need Pay and Benefits sections. According to rules: include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does: pay range $40.00 - $50.00/hr. So we create
Pay
with containing that sentence. Benefits: list of benefits. So
Benefits
with .
Job Type & Location: Could be under About the role? Or maybe we could create a short paragraph under About the role covering contract, location, workplace type. But we have separate headings for Qualifications? Not present. Could put under Requirements? Not exactly. The essential skills are qualifications. We'll put them under Skills.
We also have "About Aston Carter" which is boilerplate about the company; we should remove as per instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Aston Carter" is likely boilerplate; we should drop it. Also the equal opportunity employer statement etc. Remove.
Also remove "Application Deadline", "Workplace Type" maybe we keep location? The location is Fort Worth, TX. Could be included in About the role paragraph.
We need to preserve all substantive information: responsibilities, essential skills, pay, benefits, job type (contract), location (Fort Worth, TX), workplace type (fully onsite). Also maybe mention that it's a contract position.
We need to avoid headings with filler. So we will produce sections:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
...
Skills
...
Pay
...
Benefits
...
Optionally we could add a short paragraph for Job Type & Location under About the role or separate heading like "Job Details". But we only have allowed headings list; we could embed location in About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Good.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must not include schedule heading if no schedule info. There's no schedule like shift, hours. So omit.
Now craft content.
About the role paragraph: combine description and job type/location/workplace type.
Original description: "The Senior Production Planner supports manufacturing operations in a fast-paced production environment by managing production flow, overseeing work orders and manufacturing travelers, coordinating outside processing activities, and contributing to accurate customer and vendor quotations. This role is primarily computer-based and requires strong ERP expertise, solid production planning knowledge, and the ability to quickly integrate into an active manufacturing setting with minimal training."
Add: "This is a Contract position based out of Fort Worth, TX. The role is fully onsite."
We'll combine.
Now Responsibilities list: need to capture each bullet.

Also remove "Job Type & Location" heading, but we incorporated location into About the role.
Also remove "Workplace Type" heading, but we included fully onsite in About the role.
