We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: 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. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, EEO etc.
We need to parse the posting for content.
Let's extract:
- About the role: introductory paragraph about role: "Pioneer your career! Körber is the home for passionate people who innovate, collaborate and love what they do. Entrepreneurial spirit is our joint DNA. We develop future technologies and support talents to deploy their skills and reach their full potential. Together, we aim for being the first to do the right thing at the right time. Join the home for entrepreneurs! The Senior Strategic Project Scheduler plays a critical role in helping Korber win and successfully execute large-scale automation and material handling projects valued upwards of $100M+. Reporting to the SIOP Manager and supporting the Program Management organization, this position partners closely with Sales, Program Management, Engineering, Procurement, Manufacturing, Installation, and Executive Leadership to develop competitive, executable schedules during the proposal phase and maintain integrated project schedules throughout execution. This role serves as a trusted advisor on schedule strategy, project timing, resource constraints, and execution alternatives. This role also contributes to the delivery of strategic initiatives."
We can put that under About the role.
- Responsibilities: list of duties: bullet points from "Your role in our team" section.
List:

- Manage six to ten concurrent proposals and active project schedules, ensuring coordination across engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and installation activities

- Requirements: maybe "Your profile" includes education and experience: Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Project Management, or a related field, with 5–7 years of relevant project scheduling experience required; 10+ years strongly preferred. Also "Eligible applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. The employer will not sponsor applicants for work visas for this position." That's more eligibility. Could be under Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe certifications: PMP or PMI-SP certification is a plus. Also "Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Project..." etc. Might be under Skills.
- Skills: list of skills: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Project, familiarity with Jira, ERP, project management systems; Advanced knowledge of planning and scheduling principles (critical path methodology, schedule baselining, progress measurement, forecasting, schedule control, earned value, project lifecycle governance); Experience with change and risk management, scenario planning, what-if analysis, schedule optimization, time-impact analysis; Working knowledge of material handling systems, mechanical installations, or construction scheduling; Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, multitasking skills; Demonstrated leadership and communication skills; proficiency in Microsoft Office required.

- Pay: Not provided. The posting says "Please note that the salary information is a general guideline only. Individual compensation will be determined..." No specific numbers. So we should NOT include Pay section because no specific content.
- Schedule: "This full-time, exempt role offers a hybrid work setting." That's schedule info: full-time, exempt, hybrid. So we can include Schedule section with that.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use for headings. Use
for headings. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. Possibly combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we can separate as per instruction: use headings if content exists.
Let's craft:

Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Project Management, or a related field, with 5–7 years of relevant project scheduling experience required; 10+ years strongly preferred. Eligible applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis; the employer will not sponsor applicants for work visas for this position.

- Advanced knowledge of planning and scheduling principles, including critical path methodology, schedule baselining, progress measurement, forecasting, schedule control, earned value, and project lifecycle governance.
- Experience with change and risk management, scenario planning, what‑if analysis, schedule optimization, and time‑impact analysis to evaluate and improve execution strategies.

Schedule
Full‑time, exempt role with a hybrid work setting.
Check for any duplicated content: Ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Equal opportunity employer", etc. We removed.
Check that we didn't include Pay section. Good.
Check that we didn't repeat job title. Good.
Check that we preserved all substantive information: The intro paragraph, responsibilities list, requirements, qualifications (certification), skills list, benefits, schedule. Did we miss anything like "Your working environment at Körber Körber is pioneering cutting-edge sorting technology..." That's more about company; could be part of About the role? Might be considered extra but not required. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that company description maybe under About the role or a separate section? There's no heading for "Company overview". Could be part of About the role. The About the role currently includes the introductory motivational paragraph and role description. We could add the company description after that as part of About the role. Let's incorporate: "Körber is pioneering cutting-edge sorting technology and solutions that shape the future of mail and parcel automation across Europe, North America and Asia. Set new industry standards and champion customer-centric services and solutions with our dynamic parcel logistics team based in Irving, Texas, USA." That's substantive. So add to About the role paragraph.
Also "Your working environment at Körber" includes that. So we can merge.
Thus About the role paragraph: combine the initial motivational sentences and the company description.
Let's craft final About the role paragraph:
"Pioneer your career! Körber is the home for passionate people who innovate, collaborate and love what they do. Entrepreneurial spirit is our joint DNA. We develop future technologies and support talents to deploy their skills and reach their full potential. Together, we aim for being the first to do the right thing at the right time.

That seems comprehensive.
Now ensure we didn't include any fluff like "Can you see yourself in this profile? Then Körber is the right place for you." That's more of a call to action; could be considered boilerplate? It's not a list but it's promotional. Might be considered part of About the role? It's not essential substantive info about role. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That sentence is somewhat fluff but still part of posting. However it's more like a call to action; but it's not required. Might be okay to omit? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That sentence is not exactly those categories. It's more marketing. Could be considered part of About the role? Might be okay to keep but it's not essential. I'd lean to keep it as part of About the role to preserve all substantive info. However it's somewhat generic. But it's not duplicated. I'd include it maybe as a separate sentence.
But we already have a long paragraph; we could add that sentence at end: "Can you see yourself in this profile? Then Körber is the right place for you." That's fine.
Now check for any other substantive content: "We look forward to getting to know you!" That's also fluff. Could be included but not necessary. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a closing line. I'd omit as it's not essential info about role. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; but that line is not substantive about role. It's more a polite closing. I'd omit.
Also "Equal opportunity employer" etc we removed.
Also "Prior to the next step..." etc removed.
Also "We work with selected partners..." removed.
Also "Disclaimer: The duties listed above..." removed.
Also "Please note that the salary information is a general guideline only." removed because no specific salary.
Also "Applications must be submitted via our career site." removed (application instructions).
Also "
