Solar Farm Technician II

Management$32.52–$44/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description after "Functional area: Operations & Maintenance". We can treat that as About the role. Then Responsibilities (list). Then Requirements (list). Then Pay (hourly range). Then Benefits (list). Possibly Schedule? Not explicitly given, but mentions on-call capacity, flexible hours, weekends, on-call support may be required. That could be Schedule. However rule: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content. It does mention flexible hours, weekends, on-call support may be required. That's specific enough for Schedule. Could include.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions like "Apply with just a few clicks: ad code 93460." and contact HR, social media, etc. Also remove company description paragraphs? Those are not required but could be considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company description about RWE Americas might be considered not boilerplate but maybe extra. It's not required to preserve? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company description is substantive? It's about the company, not the job. Might be considered extra but not prohibited. However typical job posting includes that; but we could keep as part of About the role? Might be okay to keep as a paragraph under About the role. But we need to avoid duplication. The description after "Functional area: Operations & Maintenance" includes responsibilities intro. Then later there is a paragraph about RWE Americas etc. That's likely boilerplate but not EEO. Might be considered extra but we could keep as a brief description. However instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company description is not those categories, so we could keep. But to be safe, we could include it as part of About the role.
We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We'll include those that have content.
We have:
- About the role: description of role (the paragraph after Functional area). Could also include functional area line? We'll incorporate.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (the bullet points after "Role Responsibilities:").
- Requirements: list of job requirements (the bullet points after "Job Requirements and Experience:").
- Qualifications? Not separate; maybe we could combine with Requirements. But we could have Requirements and Skills separate? The posting includes "Strong problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills" etc. That's skills. Could create Skills section. But we already have Requirements includes many skill-like items. To avoid thin sections, we could combine Requirements and Skills into one Requirements section. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Benefits, Schedule.
We need to list items as

Let's extract responsibilities list:
