We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract content:
First paragraph: "Our employee-owned and multi-disciplined team of engineering and design professionals is looking for a Senior Professional Mechanical Engineer who has extensive experience designing a variety of HVAC, plumbing, processing, and other mechanical system design projects for heavy industrial facilities and site operations to join our Mining team."
Second: "As a member of our team, you will work alongside a multi-disciplined team of Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, and Structural) and Architecture professionals to provide an array of services for a diverse portfolio of multi-disciplined projects throughout the country."
Third: "As a Senior Professional Engineer, you will lead the mechanical design effort for complex plant/building systems and site operations for heavy industrial sectors, including mining, mineral processing, aggregate, and metals. You will also prepare mechanical plans, specifications, design details and construction documentation. Additionally, you will lead design teams for mechanical and multi-disciplined projects and be responsible for technical, quality, financial, and safety aspects from conception through construction.

Then there is EEO etc which we must remove.
Then Pre-Employment Screening etc: we should remove boilerplate? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Pre-Employment Screening might be considered legal? It's about background check. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but still legal. Probably remove. Also "Notice to Recruiters and Placement Agencies*" etc remove.
Then compensation: "The listed salary range reflects only the starting base pay range for candidates with 10-20 years of related experience in our Duluth, Minnesota office. Compensation is determined based on technical skills, experience level, and qualifications. Candidates with more experience or different compensation expectations are encouraged to apply. All candidates are evaluated on the full scope of what they bring to the role. - The base compensation range for this position out of our Bloomington, MN would be $109,000 - 133,000."
We need Pay section if posting actually states them. Yes we have salary range. So include Pay section with that info.
Schedule: we have hybrid work arrangement: three days in office, two days remote. Also travel required. So we can include Schedule section with that.
Benefits: we have comprehensive benefits list.
Qualifications: we have Required Qualifications and Advantageous Qualifications. Could combine into Qualifications section? The instruction: Use headings for sections like Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have both required and advantageous qualifications. Could put under Qualifications heading with subpoints.
Skills: maybe we can extract skills from required qualifications: proficiency with RISA 3D or Ram Structural System, MathCAD, MS Office; knowledge of structural steel, concrete, etc; ability to communicate; coaching/mentoring; driver's license; travel. Also advantageous: AutoCAD, Revit, business development experience, manage multi-disciplined projects. Could put under Skills.
About the role: we can have a paragraph summarizing role.
Responsibilities: we have many responsibilities listed in the first part: lead mechanical design effort, prepare plans, lead design teams, mentor, business development activities.
We need to avoid duplication. Let's structure:
About the role
... paragraph describing role and team.
Responsibilities
- ... list items
Qualifications
- Required: ...

or
- with notes.
Better: Use

But some overlap with qualifications. Might be okay to have Skills section summarizing technical proficiencies.
Benefits: list as
