We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, etc. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the description.
Key sections:
- About the role: maybe description of role: "The Modality Agnostic Chemistry Scaleup (MACS) Operations group within the Chemical Engineering Research & Development (CERD) Department is seeking a highly motivated individual to work in a fast-paced job that provides a high degree of technical and project management responsibility. The Specialist – Process/Facility Engineering position will report to an Associate Director, Engineering as a member of the MACS Operations Team at the Rahway NJ facility."
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Qualifications/Education: Education Minimum Requirement.
- Required Experience And Skills: list.
- Desired Experience And Skills: list.
- Required Skills: list.
- Preferred Skills: list.
- Benefits: mention comprehensive package of benefits, medical, dental, vision, retirement, etc.
- Pay: salary range $87,300.00 - $137,400.00.
- Schedule: maybe not given; there is Travel Requirements 10%, Flexible Work Arrangements Not Applicable, Shift Not Indicated. Not specific schedule; we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not give schedule like full-time, etc. So omit Schedule.
- Also maybe "Qualifications" could be education and experience combined. But we have separate sections: Education, Required Experience And Skills, Desired Experience And Skills, Required Skills, Preferred Skills. Could combine into Qualifications and Skills. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to these headings.
We have:
- About the role: intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list.
- Requirements: could include education minimum requirement and maybe required experience? But we also have Qualifications and Skills separate. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine education and experience into Requirements or Qualifications. But we have headings for both Requirements and Qualifications. We need to decide.
We could use:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (education + required experience)
- Qualifications (desired experience/skills? maybe not needed)
- Skills (required and preferred skills)
- Benefits
- Pay
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to ensure each section has real content.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The first paragraph.
Responsibilities: bullet list from "Responsibilities Of The Specialist – Process/Facility Engineer Include The Following" and subsequent paragraphs describing role. We'll extract bullet points.
Let's list responsibilities:
- Serve as a process team member supporting the MACS Center.
- Work alongside peers in MACS Operations Team, Enabling Facilities group, other operations areas such as SSO and Prep Lab, as well as key stakeholders in Process R&D, Analytical, Quality, and Safety.
- Instrumental in setting up this first-of-a-kind facility by ready for science target date of 2Q 2027.
- As the MACS facility is under construction, contribute to equipment and facility design, system commissioning/qualification, as well as other critical activity workstreams to enable facility startup and subsequent batch processing.
- Expected to be a key part of a team of process/facility engineers, supervisors, and operations specialists to drive the work and foster a culture of collaboration, learning and innovation.
- Collaborate closely with development engineers & chemists, compliance and safety representatives, and other team members to ensure quality and safe delivery of clinical supplies, scientific rigor of processes, and enable flexibility and speed of pipeline.
- May support facility operations, process development activities, support compliance investigations/change management, author GMP documentation and manage/lead engineers in any of our enabling facilities.
- Additional Supported Areas: support to SSO (Small Scale Organics Pilot Plant) and Prep Lab Area (details). We could include those as responsibilities.

Now Requirements: Education Minimum Requirement: Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences or related scientific field with minimum of 3 years relevant experience, or Master’s degree with 1 year of relevant experience.
Also maybe "Required Experience And Skills" could be part of Requirements. But we have separate Skills heading.
We could put education under Requirements, and then Required Experience And Skills under Qualifications? But Qualifications heading maybe for education/experience combined. However we already used Requirements for education. Let's think.
The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So they expect those headings. We can use them as needed.
We have content for:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (education)
- Qualifications (maybe required experience and skills? but we also have Skills heading)
- Skills (required and preferred)
- Benefits
- Pay
We could put Required Experience And Skills under Qualifications, and Required Skills under Skills, and Preferred Skills also under Skills (maybe as sublist). But we need to avoid duplication.
Let's extract Required Experience And Skills list:
- Working in a GMP clinical or manufacturing supply facility.
- GMP facility design, equipment start-up and/or qualification.
- Small and/or large molecule drug substance process development.
- Supporting compliance investigations and change management.
- Familiarity with US and EU GMP and Safety compliance regulations.
- Ability to convert new drug substance process needs to an executable series of steps and procedures to enable acceptable product manufacture.
- Ability to prepare Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and cGMP documents.
- Effective interpersonal and communication skills, both verbal and written.
- Excellent organizational skills to multi-task.
- Desire and willingness to learn, contribute and lead.
- Track-record of independent problem-solving.
Desired Experience And Skills list:
- Operating/maintaining pilot scale or prep lab scale equipment.
- Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) and/or Level of Protection Analysis (LOPA).
- Providing technical mentorship.
- Potent Compound processing and containment systems (e.g., isolators).
- Quality systems.
- Interacting with or overseeing the management of process utility system associated with a large drug substance pilot plant including WFI generation/distribution, Process Chillers, Vacuum Systems, etc.
- Working in an environment with an Automation System (DeltaV, PLC, etc.).
- Coordinating maintenance activities around processing activities to support reliable facility operation.
Required Skills list (maybe a summary): cGMP Guidelines, Chemical Engineering, Electronic Batch Records, Facility Engineering, Pilot Plant Operations, Process Engineering, Quality Control Systems, Safety Compliance, Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), Troubleshooting.
Preferred Skills list: Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE (that's not a skill). Actually after that there is "US And Puerto Rico Residents Only" etc. The Preferred Skills list appears earlier: "Preferred Skills Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE". That seems like a mistake; maybe the Preferred Skills section is just those two lines? Actually the text: "Required Skills cGMP Guidelines, Chemical Engineering, Electronic Batch Records, Facility Engineering, Pilot Plant Operations, Process Engineering, Quality Control Systems, Safety Compliance, Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), Troubleshooting Preferred Skills Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE". So Preferred Skills seems to be just those apply links, not actual skills. So we can ignore Preferred Skills as no real skill content.
Thus Skills section can include Required Skills list.
Now Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits. Available benefits include medical, dental, vision healthcare and other insurance benefits (for employee and family), retirement benefits, including 401(k), paid holidays, vacation, and compassionate and sick days. More information about benefits is available at https://jobs.merck.com/us/en/compensation-and-benefits."
Pay: salary range $87,300.00 - $137,400.00. Also mention annual bonus and long-term incentive.
We can include that.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.

We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc.
We removed "Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE", "US And Puerto Rico Residents Only", accommodation link, EEO, etc.
We also removed "Job Posting End Date", "Requisition ID", etc.
Check for any leftover boilerplate: The description includes "As an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer..." etc. Remove.
Also removed "Search Firm Representatives Please Read Carefully..." etc.
Also removed "Employee Status Regular Relocation: No relocation VISA Sponsorship No Travel Requirements 10% Flexible Work Arrangements Not Applicable Shift Not Indicated Valid Driving License No Hazardous Material(s) N/A". Not needed.
