Please, no phone calls or emails. All resumes submitted by search firms to any employee at Grace via email, the Internet or in any form and/or method without a valid written search agreement in place for this position will be deemed the sole property of Grace. No fee will be paid in the event the candidate is hired by Grace as a result of the referral or through other means. Nearest Major Market: Baltimore We need to remove boilerplate: "Grace is not accepting unsolicited assistance..." etc. Also remove "U.S. Employee Benefits Summary (grace.com)" maybe repeated. Also remove "Nearest Major Market: Baltimore"? Might be considered metadata but could be kept? It's not a heading; we could fold into a short p. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a p for location info maybe. We need sections: About the role (intro description), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe split Required and Preferred but we can combine under Qualifications), Benefits, Physical Requirements (maybe as a section? Not in list of allowed headings but we could use "Physical Requirements" as a heading? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings but suggests those examples. Probably we should stick to those. Physical Requirements could go under Requirements or Qualifications? It's more like physical demands; could be under Requirements. We'll include a section "Requirements" for physical requirements? But we also have Required Qualifications. Might be better to have "Qualifications" for education/experience, and "Requirements" for physical/environment. However the instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those exact headings if content exists. Thus sections: - About the role: intro paragraph(s) describing company and role. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: physical requirements and environment. - Qualifications: required and preferred qualifications. - Benefits: list of benefits. - Possibly Pay: we have wage range and other compensation. Should we include Pay section? The posting includes Annual Wage Range and Other Compensation. So we should include Pay section with that info. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we have wage range: $81,797.60 - $112,471.70 and Other Compensation: eligibility for Short-Term Incentive program and other applicable bonuses. That's specific. So include Pay section. - Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. - Skills: not explicitly separate; could be part of Qualifications. We'll omit Skills if no dedicated content. Thus we will output:

We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each responsibility bullet exactly as in posting. Let's extract responsibilities list: From posting: "Full-Lifecycle Recruitment & Onboarding: Lead recruitment, onboarding, and retention initiatives for plant personnel to build a skilled, stable workforce. Employee Relations & Conflict Resolution: Support employee relations by conducting thorough investigations, resolving conflicts promptly, and serving as a trusted advisor on conduct, capability, and grievance matters. Labor & Union Collaboration: Attend monthly union meetings, document official meeting minutes, and support constructive labor-management relations.

Employment Law & Compliance: Ensure full compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations across all plant operations. Performance & Absence Management: Partner with leadership to address performance issues, manage attendance and health-related leave, and drive organizational change initiatives. HR Data & Metrics Analytics: Gather and analyze key HR metrics—such as time-to-hire and turnover rates—to identify trends and drive continuous improvement.

Employee Engagement & Culture: Enhance employee satisfaction and morale by resolving issues quickly, assisting with perks/benefits administration, and organizing team-building activities. Records Management & HR Ownership: Maintain accurate electronic and paper employee files while operating with a high degree of ownership, independence, and accountability."
