We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description (About the role), Responsibilities, Additional Job Elements (physical demands) maybe part of Requirements? Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Benefits and Pay are mentioned: base salary range, sign-on payments, RSUs, comprehensive benefits list. Schedule: mentions willingness to work a variety of shifts, including nights and weekends. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodation links, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Keep substantive info.
We need to use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from description, responsibilities, additional job elements, basic qualifications, preferred qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule.
We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to decide sections: About the role (description paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe split into Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? Could combine into Requirements section with sublists? But spec says use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could have Requirements and Qualifications separate? Might be redundant. Probably we can have Requirements (basic qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred). Or we could combine into Requirements and include both basic and preferred as lists. But spec says we can use those headings; we should include only when posting has real specific content. It does have both basic and preferred qualifications. So we can have Requirements (basic) and Qualifications (preferred). Skills maybe not explicitly listed; but there are skills mentioned: communication, analytical, problem-solving, etc. Could put under Skills. But we could also put under Requirements. However spec says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might combine Skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we have headings for Skills; we could include if there is content. There are skills: effective communicator, clear concise messages, instruct and train, build trust, influence change, analytical and problem-solving, strong written and verbal communication, comfort interfacing with Directors and VPs. Those are skills. So we could have a Skills section.
Benefits: described.
Pay: base salary range, sign-on payments, RSUs.
Schedule: willingness to work a variety of shifts, including nights and weekends.
Also Additional Job Elements (physical demands) could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section? Not in list headings. Could be included under Requirements as a list. Or we could create a section "Physical Requirements" but not in allowed headings. So we should fold into Requirements or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably under Requirements as part of qualifications.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract content.

- Audit the quality, delivery (including qualifications of the trainer), and effectiveness of all required safety training.

That's responsibilities.
Additional Job Elements Include (physical demands):
- Lift up to 49 pounds and frequently push, pull, squat, bend, and reach
- Stand/walk for up to 12 hours during shifts

- 7+ years of increasing responsibilities in people and performance management
- Experience implementing lean principles and process improvement in an operational environment
- Willingness to work a variety of shifts, including nights and weekends, as required to support direct reports and site needs
Preferred Qualifications:

- Certified Safety Professional preferred

- USA, MI, Romulus - 149,600.00 - 202,400.00 USD annually
Schedule:
- Willingness to work a variety of shifts, including nights and weekends, as required to support direct reports and site needs (already in Basic Qualifications). Could also be separate schedule section.
We need to avoid duplication. The shift willingness appears both in Basic Qualifications and maybe also as schedule. We can keep it under Schedule section and maybe not repeat in Basic Qualifications? But we must preserve all substantive info; we can include it in both places but that would be duplication. Better to include it once under Schedule and note that it's also a qualification. However spec says preserve ALL substantive information; not necessarily duplicate but we must not lose info. If we include it only under Schedule, we still have the info. So we can omit from Basic Qualifications to avoid duplication. But we need to check if any other info in Basic Qualifications is unique: Bachelor's degree, 7+ years safety, 7+ years people management, experience implementing lean principles. Those are not elsewhere. So we can keep Basic Qualifications without shift willingness.
Now we need to decide sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities, Requirements (basic qualifications), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (maybe from preferred: communication, analytical, problem-solving, etc.), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
But we might combine Skills into Qualifications to avoid thin sections. However spec says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Skills into Qualifications (preferred) or Requirements. But we already have Qualifications heading for preferred; we could add skills there. However the spec lists Skills as a possible heading; we can omit if we think it's thin. But we have substantive skills: strong written and verbal communication, comfort interfacing with Directors and VPs, strong analytical and problem-solving skills. That's enough for a Skills section. But we could also put them under Qualifications. To keep few sections, maybe we merge Skills into Qualifications. However we already have Qualifications for preferred; we could add skills there. That would make Qualifications section contain both preferred qualifications and skills. That's okay.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (basic qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications + skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not include heading if no real content. All have content.
Now format: Use for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
