On-siteQuality AssuranceFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes a narrative about West, mission, etc. Could be "About the role" or "About West". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section only when posting has real specific content. We have content for: About the role (maybe description of company and mission). Responsibilities (Essential Duties And Responsibilities). Requirements (Education, Work Experience, Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, License and Certifications, Additional Requirements). Benefits (What We Offer). Pay? Not provided. Schedule? Not provided (though mentions onsite 5 days a week, 9-month Fixed Term Contract, travel 10%). Schedule could be inferred? It says onsite 5 days a week, but schedule not explicit hours. Might include "Schedule" if we have specific content: "This is an onsite position requiring the team member to be onsite 5 days a week." That's schedule info. Also "This is a 9-month Fixed Term Contract." That's contract duration, not schedule. Travel requirements also. But schedule section maybe we can include "Onsite 5 days per week". However instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So if we have real specific content, we can include Schedule section with that info. Similarly Benefits we have "What We Offer" list. Pay not provided, so omit Pay section. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, background screening, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines like "No relocation is provided for this opportunity" appears twice; we can keep once maybe in description but it's minor metadata; we can fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop it as minor metadata. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the company story/mission paragraph. That's substantive. Also the 9-month Fixed Term Contract, onsite 5 days a week, no relocation (maybe minor). We'll include that in About the role or a separate "Details" section? But only allowed headings from list. Could put that info in About the role section (since it's about the role). Or we could create a "Details" but not allowed. So we incorporate into About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: Education, Work Experience, Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, License and Certifications, Additional Requirements. Could combine into Requirements section with subpoints? But we need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a

    Requirements

    then a
      with items covering education, experience, preferred knowledge, etc. However we need to preserve all detail; we can break into multiple
        maybe? But instruction: Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

          for prose. So we can have multiple lists under the same heading? Probably okay to have multiple

            sections each preceded by a

            heading? But they said use

            for section headings. So under Requirements we could have paragraphs for each subcategory then lists. Simpler: we can have separate headings: Education, Work Experience, Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, License and Certifications, Additional Requirements. But those are not in the allowed list; but we could still use them? The instruction says use

            for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says use

            for section headings (e.g. ...). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should stick to those headings. So we need to map content to those headings. Thus we have: - About the role: includes company mission, story, 9-month Fixed Term Contract, onsite 5 days a week, no relocation (maybe minor), maybe also mention of inclusive community, etc. - Responsibilities: Essential Duties And Responsibilities list. - Requirements: Education, Work Experience, Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, License and Certifications, Additional Requirements. Could be combined into a single list? But we need to preserve detail; we can have a
              with items that each contain multiple sentences. That's acceptable. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. Could split: Requirements for mandatory (Education, Work Experience) and Qualifications for preferred etc. But we need to decide. - Skills: maybe separate for Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities. - Benefits: What We Offer list. - Pay: omitted. - Schedule: Onsite 5 days a week, 9-month Fixed Term Contract, Travel 10% (up to 26 business days per year). Could include schedule details. We must not create sections with filler. So we need to ensure each heading has real content. Let's draft:

              We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, background screening, etc. We removed those. Check for any duplicated content: we included "No relocation is provided for this opportunity" in About the role. That's okay. Check for any placeholders like "commensurate with experience" - none. Check for any missing substantive info: we included the company story, mission, etc. We included the 9-month Fixed Term Contract, onsite 5 days, travel. We included responsibilities list. We included education, experience. We included preferred knowledge, skills, abilities. We included license and certifications? Wait we omitted license and certifications. That's substantive. We need to include that somewhere. Could add under Requirements or Skills. Since we have Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (preferred knowledge etc). License and certifications is also preferred. Could add under Skills as another bullet. Let's add:
            • Manufacturing/Six Sigma Green Belt Certification or Black Belt upon hire, preferred.

            • Add to Skills list. Also we omitted "Additional Requirements" like strong quality first mentality, communication, multi-task, etc. Those are also substantive. Could add under Skills or Requirements. Since they are more like abilities, we can add to Skills list. Let's add bullets for those:

            • Excellent written and oral communication and interpersonal abilities, with the capacity to communicate complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.
