Sr. BSA Analyst
About the role
with paragraph describing company and location. ThenResponsibilities
with list of duties from Position Description. ThenRequirements
maybe combine Required Skills and Required Education? But we have separate sections: Required Skills, Knowledge, And Experience; Preferred Skills, Knowledge, And Experience; Required Education; Preferred Education. According to rules, we should use headings for sections like Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map: Responsibilities (duties). Requirements could be Required Skills, Knowledge, And Experience plus Required Education? Or we could have Skills section for Required Skills, and Qualifications for Education. But we need to follow instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So we can choose which sections to include based on content. We have substantive content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (skills), Qualifications (education), Skills (maybe preferred skills). We should not create empty sections. Also we should not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule as none present.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each bullet point from responsibilities and skills etc. The responsibilities are a long paragraph with many sentences separated by semicolons? Actually it's a run-on sentence with many clauses separated by semicolons. We need to turn into list items (- ) for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should split the responsibilities into separate list items based on the semicolons or distinct actions. Similarly for Required Skills etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Also we should not include Job ID etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: drug-free workplace, EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove any navigation/footer etc. The posting includes "*To access Dayforce at its best, log in from the latest version of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge." That's also boilerplate; remove.
Also "Additional information about the company can be found online at www.bwpipelines.com." Might be considered metadata; but it's substantive? It's a link. Might be considered minor metadata; we could fold into short
or drop. Probably drop as it's not essential.
We need to preserve all substantive information: company description, location, position description responsibilities, required skills, preferred skills, required education, preferred education.
Let's extract.
Company description paragraph:
"* Boardwalk is a limited partnership operating in the midstream portion of the natural gas and natural gas liquids industry, providing transportation and storage services for our customers. Our 14,000 miles of pipeline and storage assets provide diverse market connectivity to producers and end-users who need reliable sources of natural gas for power generation, home heating or petrochemical feedstocks. We have the experience, knowledge, and flexibility to design service offerings and create system enhancements tailored to our customers’ needs throughout the 13 states in which we operate. As an organization focused on sustainability, we are committed to protecting the environment while delivering this energy source. This commitment is made to our customers, employees, and the communities in which we operate. We incorporate environmental stewardship, safety, and compliance into our day-to-day operations and seek to strengthen and support the communities we serve."
That's substantive.
Location: "We are currently looking for a Sr. BSA Analyst for our Houston, TX or Owensboro, KY office."
We can include that in About the role paragraph.
Now responsibilities: The block after "Position Description The job purpose is to provide analytical expertise for the implementation and support of systems that meet requirements of the Commercial area, for both gas and liquids, via active participation in a cohesive team." Then a long list of duties separated by semicolons. Let's split by semicolons and maybe also by periods.

Now we need to output HTML fragment with sections.
We'll have:

... company description + location ...

Requirements
Maybe combine Required Skills and Required Education? But we have separate headings for Skills and Qualifications. Could do:
Skills
for Required Skills (maybe also Preferred Skills separate?). But we have both Required and Preferred. Could have Skills for Required, and Qualifications for Preferred? Or we could have Requirements for Required Skills, Qualifications for Education, and Skills for Preferred Skills. Let's think.
The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So we can choose any of those. We need to avoid empty sections. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Required Skills), Qualifications (Education), Skills (Preferred Skills). That seems reasonable.
Thus:
Requirements
-> Required Skills, Knowledge, And Experience
Qualifications
-> Required Education (maybe also Preferred Education? but we could put Preferred Education under Skills? Hmm.)
Better: Qualifications for Education (both required and preferred). But we have separate Preferred Education line. Could include both under Qualifications.
Skills for Preferred Skills, Knowledge, And Experience.
Let's do:
- Requirements: Required Skills, Knowledge, And Experience (list)
- Qualifications: Required Education and Preferred Education (list)
- Skills: Preferred Skills, Knowledge, And Experience (list)
We must not invent placeholders. All content present.
Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed.
Now produce HTML.
We need to be careful to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed.
Let's craft About the role paragraph:
