We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of company and role. We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions.

Company description: "Kincellis Advanced Therapies is a U.S.-based contract development and manufacturing organization supporting advanced-therapy developers from early-stage CMC, process and analytical development through clinical supply, pivotal-stage programs and commercial supply. With facilities in Gainesville, Florida; Research Triangle Park, North Carolina; and The Woodlands, Texas, Kincellis combines broad technical expertise with flexible, scalable GMP infrastructure across autologous and allogeneic therapies, including but not limited to CAR-T, Tregs, CAR-NK, MSCs, dendritic cell vaccines, exosomes, iPSCs & synthetic mRNA. For more information, visit our website at www.kincellis.com."
Then: "Kincell is seeking a highly motivated Senior Technician who will be a key contributor to a dynamic and collaborative Facilities and Engineering team. The Senior Technician will be responsible for general maintenance of the facilities, preventive and corrective maintenance of the supporting infrastructure and equipment at the Kincell Bio facilities in Durham, NC. The role will require day-to-day activities to ensure the site remains active and in good repair."
Then "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" list.
Then "Qualifications" list.
Then "Required Proficient written and verbal communication skills..." etc.
Then "Preferred Associate degree..." etc.
Then "Travel Requirements Location This position is 100% on-site in Durham, NC. This position may require some non-standard working hours, including early morning or late evening or weekends."
Then EEO etc.
We need to output sections: About the role (maybe company overview + role summary). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe minimum qualifications). Qualifications (maybe preferred?). Skills (maybe specific skills). Benefits, Pay, Schedule only if present. There's no explicit benefits or pay. There's schedule: "Normal working hours, may include some overtime." Also "This position may require some non-standard working hours, including early morning or late evening or weekends." So schedule info exists. We can include Schedule section with that.
Benefits: none mentioned. Pay: none.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule.
We need to decide what goes where.
"About the role": could include company description and role summary.
"Responsibilities": list of duties from Essential Duties And Responsibilities.
"Requirements": maybe the minimum qualifications (5 years experience, LOTO, agility, reading schematics, computer skills, licensure preferred, etc). But also there is a "Qualifications" heading in the posting that includes both minimum and preferred. We could split: Requirements = minimum qualifications; Qualifications = preferred education/experience; Skills = specific skills like computer proficiency, communication, critical thinking, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent.
Let's extract.
Company description paragraph.
Role summary: "Kincell is seeking a highly motivated Senior Technician who will be a key contributor to a dynamic and collaborative Facilities and Engineering team. The Senior Technician will be responsible for general maintenance of the facilities, preventive and corrective maintenance of the supporting infrastructure and equipment at the Kincell Bio facilities in Durham, NC. The role will require day-to-day activities to ensure the site remains active and in good repair."
We can combine that with company description for About the role.
Responsibilities list (from "Essential Duties And Responsibilities"): Let's extract each bullet (they are sentences separated by periods). The list:
- Perform and document preventative and corrective maintenance for manufacturing, lab, and facility equipment.
- Perform and document preventative and corrective maintenance for infrastructure and supporting equipment.

- Attends and actively participates in cross functional meetings to ensure ENG site- and company-wide deliverables are met.
Also earlier: "The senior technician will assist in providing a clean, controlled environment for production." That's also a duty.
We should include that as a responsibility.
Now Requirements (minimum qualifications): From "Qualifications" section: "The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required to perform this job successfully."
List:
- Minimum of 5 years' experience performing operations and maintenance on utility systems, HVAC systems and/or manufacturing equipment in a CGMP Biotech/Pharmaceutical manufacturing environment.

- High School Diploma/GED. An equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered.
That's a lot; some are repeated (computer skills). We'll keep them.
Now Qualifications (preferred): "Preferred Associate degree in maintenance, engineering or a related discipline with a minimum of 3 years of overall experience in facilities maintenance activities Bachelor's degree in maintenance, engineering or a related discipline with a minimum of 2 years of overall experience in facilities maintenance activities Knowledgeable of Electrical, Mechanical, Control/SCADA, PLCs, Process Improvement Methodologies, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical, Medical Device Utilities Process. An equivalent combination of education and/or experience may be considered."
Also maybe "Licensure any of the following areas preferred: Refrigeration/HVAC , Electrical." That's actually under requirements but says preferred. We'll keep it under Requirements or Qualifications? It says preferred. We'll put under Qualifications.
Skills: maybe we can extract specific skills like "Proficiency in LOTO", "Experience reading control schematics, loop diagrams, and P&IDs", "Proficient computer skills utilizing MS Office suite applications, Building Management Systems, DCS, CMMS", "Ability to read, interpret, and troubleshoot engineering drawings, P&IDs, and electrical schematics", "Must have very good computer system skills, utilizing Outlook, Excel, Word proficiently", "Flexible, strong interpersonal and communication skills", "Demonstrated critical thinking skills", etc. But we already have many in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could put Skills as a separate section for soft skills and technical skills not covered elsewhere. However instructions: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they ask to use headings for those sections if content exists. We have both minimum and preferred; we could make Requirements = minimum qualifications, Qualifications = preferred education/experience, Skills = specific skills (like computer, communication, critical thinking). But there is overlap.
Maybe better: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (includes both minimum and preferred qualifications and skills), Schedule. That would be fewer sections. But they said use headings for those specific headings if content exists. It's okay to omit some headings if not needed. We can choose to include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Schedule. That covers all.
We need to ensure we don't miss any substantive info: company description, role summary, duties, qualifications (minimum and preferred), schedule info.
Let's craft.
About the role: include company description and role summary.
Responsibilities: list of duties.
Requirements: combine minimum qualifications, preferred education/experience, skills, licensure, etc.
Schedule: include normal working hours, may include some overtime, may require non-standard hours early morning/late evening/weekends.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, note to employment agencies, etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
