SOLID WASTE MANAGER
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Classification Summary (description), Job Title Summary (more description), Managerial Exemption (maybe not needed), Duties And Responsibilities (list), Other Responsibilities Or Job Requirements (list), Qualifications (minimum qualifications), Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (knowledge, skills, abilities), Physical Demands, Work Environment, Travel Requirements, Closing Statements (boilerplate to remove). We need to reformat into semantic HTML with headings for sections: maybe "About the role" (summary), "Responsibilities" (duties), "Requirements" (qualifications?), "Skills" (knowledge, skills, abilities), maybe "Physical Demands", "Work Environment", "Travel Requirements". Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present except schedule mentioned: "Regular work hours are 8 am to 5 pm, however hours will be determined by whatever is necessary to do a quality job. This may include some nights and weekends." That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section. Benefits: none. Pay: none. So omit those.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Closing Statements" maybe boilerplate but includes some substantive: "Any position that lists a minimum qualification for education level and/or license/certification will require the applicant to provide proof of documentation if selected for hire into the position. In the event of an emergency, employees are required to work to provide for the safety and well-being of the public, including the delivery and restoration of vital services. This job description is subject to change as the needs of the Village and Department change or the requirements of this position change." That's somewhat generic but still substantive? It's about documentation requirement and emergency work and subject to change. Might be considered boilerplate but it's part of job description. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly those categories. It's more like general disclaimer. Might keep? It's not duplicated. I'd keep as a short paragraph under maybe "Additional Information" but we don't have a heading for that. Could incorporate into "Qualifications" or "About the role". Safer to keep as a paragraph under "Additional Information" but we shouldn't create a heading unless there is real specific content. It's somewhat generic but still specific to the job. I'd include it as a
after Qualifications maybe.
We need to avoid repeating sentences. There's duplication: "Responsible for accurate completion and review of all performance evaluations of staff supervised by this position. Performance evaluations must be done at least annually." appears twice. We should keep only once.
Also "Develops and implements policies and procedures to advance the department's mission, goals, and objectives." appears twice? Actually appears in Job Title Summary and Duties. Keep once? We need to preserve all substantive information but not duplicate. We can deduplicate.
Let's extract sections:
About the role: Could combine Classification Summary and Job Title Summary and Managerial Exemption? But we need to avoid too thin sections. Maybe "About the role" includes overview: classification summary, job title summary, managerial exemption (maybe not needed). We'll produce a few paragraphs.
Responsibilities: list of duties from Duties And Responsibilities and Other Responsibilities Or Job Requirements (some are requirements like ensure timesheets, compliance, attend meetings, report injuries, fraud, harassment). We'll combine into a single list.
Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (education/experience, certifications, criminal history, driver's license, MVR). Also maybe "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" could be split into Skills section. But we have Skills heading separate. So Requirements could be just minimum qualifications. Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities list.
Physical Demands, Work Environment, Travel Requirements as separate sections.
Schedule: from classification summary: regular work hours 8am-5pm, may include nights/weekends.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now produce HTML.
We'll need to ensure proper nesting:
