for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Opening description about West (company mission). Could be considered "About the role"? Actually it's about company. Might be "About the role" or maybe we can treat as introductory paragraph before sections. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections that have real specific content.
Let's identify sections:
- Job Summary: describes role: "The Global Equipment Engineering Team has an essential role...". That could be "About the role" or "Job Summary". We'll map to "About the role".
- Essential Duties And Responsibilities: list of duties. That's Responsibilities.
- Education and Experiances: education requirements. That's Qualifications (or Requirements). Could be "Education and Experience". We'll map to "Qualifications".
- Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: that's Skills.
- Travel Requirements: 20% up to 52 business days per year. That's Schedule? Actually travel is not schedule but maybe "Travel". Not in list but we could include as a separate section? The instruction only mentions those example headings but says use those for section headings (e.g...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are typical but we can use others if needed. However they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Travel could be part of Schedule? Not exactly. Could be included under "Schedule" maybe? But schedule usually refers to work schedule (full-time, part-time, shift). Travel is separate. Might be better to include as its own section "Travel". But the instruction didn't list Travel as example; but we can still use for any section heading. It didn't restrict to only those. So we can include Travel.
- Physical Requirements: Sedentary... That's maybe "Physical Requirements". Could be its own section.
- Pay Transparency: Germany only: salary range. That's Pay.
- Benefits: mention "Supported by benefit programs, we empower the physical, mental, emotional and financial health of our team members and their families." Also later: "In addition, team members are eligible to participate in the company’s benefits and total rewards programs applicable to their location and employment status." That's benefits content. So we can have Benefits section.
- Diversity/EEO statement: that's boilerplate to remove.
- Background screening: also boilerplate to remove.
Thus we need to produce HTML with sections: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Duties And Responsibilities), Qualifications (Education and Experience), Skills (Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities), Benefits, Pay, Travel, Physical Requirements maybe.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to copy the text exactly (or close) into
or
- . For lists, we need to turn duties into
- . The duties are many sentences separated by periods. We need to extract each duty as a list item. The text: "As Subject Matter Expert (SME) for compounding and dimensioning equipment you lead engineering, management, plant operations and global team members while working with vendors to develop engineering specifications for new equipment or required improvements on existing equipment to support the rubber mixing and dimensioning process.Drive forward the standardization & harmonization of our production equipment and associated documentation across the global network.Working with Process Engineering analyze and evaluate existing systems and processes, identifying value-added and non-value-added activities to identify required design challenges.Keep up to date on new and future equipment standards and trends in the market and identify value-added improvement which may be beneficial.Work independently and with vendors to understand root causes of failures, propose design or component changes, and implement and validate equipment modifications.Take the lead in systematic problem-solving activities where the manufacturing plants need support.Coordinate and/or execute all necessary GMP related validations and/or process engineering evaluations as needed for manufacturing equipment.Be the technical point of contact with your equipment vendors and suppliers by assigning tasks, with clear communication of tasks, actions and monitor equipment deliverables including FAT, SAT IOQ etc.As the person responsible for defined manufacturing equipment in our global organization, your task is to set standards based on industry's best practices to achieve corporate goals for Quality, Overall Efficiency, Cost Reduction and Safety.Work with global maintenance team, local site engineering teams, and the equipment vendors to:Ensure appropriate preventative and corrective maintenance procedures are developed and include all tasks required to ensure equipment reliability, safety and performance.Participate in routine network collaboration forums focusing on continuous improvement and information sharing.Take the lead in systematic problem-solving activities where the manufacturing plants need support.Project Management: Take the lead on equipment project management from the URS issue to PQ by applying current project managements practices including GMP conform documentation.Research and analyze data such as vendor design proposal, specifications, and manuals to determine feasibility of design or application.Collaborate with cross-functional teams to follow equipment related corporate goals.Ensure all equipment aligns with the latest Safety Regulations."

We'll split.
Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list.
Benefits: we have two sentences: "Supported by benefit programs, we empower the physical, mental, emotional and financial health of our team members and their families." and later "In addition, team members are eligible to participate in the company’s benefits and total rewards programs applicable to their location and employment status."

This position may be eligible for variable compensation and other incentive programs in accordance with the terms of the applicable plans within the country of employment. In addition, team members are eligible to participate in the company’s benefits and total rewards programs applicable to their location and employment status." Actually the last sentence repeats benefits; but we already have benefits. We'll keep pay section with salary range and variable compensation note.

Physical Requirements: "Physical Requirements Sedentary-Exerting up to 10lbs/4kgs of force occasionally, and/or negligible amount of force frequently or constantly to lift, carry, push, pull, or otherwise move objects, including the human body.

We also have opening description about West: "At West, we’re a dedicated team that is connected by a purpose to improve patient lives that has been at the center of our Company for more than a century.

And are equally committed to creating a healthier environment and planet through our sustainability efforts."
We could put this as an introductory
before any sections, or as "About the role"? Actually it's about company, not role. But we could treat as "About the role" maybe not accurate. However the instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid having an introductory paragraph before any heading. We'll output a
with that description, then sections.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, diversity statement, background screening. Remove those.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We'll structure:
