We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "We’re Watts..." intro, "What We Do", "Scope of Position", "Primary Job Duties And Responsibilities", "Travel Requirements", "Required Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "General Applicable Company Competencies", "Working Conditions", "Physical Requirements", "Watts In It For You", "How We Work". Also mention "Onsite" location.
We must use for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings. The instructions: use
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings. The instructions: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings? Probably we should use those headings where appropriate. For example: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (maybe computer skills?), Benefits (Watts In It For You), Pay (not mentioned), Schedule (maybe working hours? Not specific). We should not create Pay or Schedule sections unless posting actually states them. The posting does not mention pay or schedule specifics (just "Your scheduled work hours will be communicated to you by your manager." That's vague, not specific; we should not create Schedule section because it's not specific content. Also Pay not mentioned.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. Possibly also Working Conditions? Not in list but we could treat as part of About? The instruction says use those headings; but we can also add other headings if needed? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples; we could also use other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. However we have content like "Scope of Position", "Primary Job Duties And Responsibilities", "Travel Requirements", "Required Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "General Applicable Company Competencies", "Working Conditions", "Physical Requirements", "Watts In It For You", "How We Work". We need to map to the allowed headings.
We could treat:
- About the role: combine intro paragraph about Watts, mission, what we do, scope of position.
- Responsibilities: primary job duties and responsibilities list.
- Requirements: required qualifications.
- Qualifications: preferred qualifications.
- Skills: maybe computer skills, understanding of laws, etc. Could also include general applicable company competencies.
- Benefits: Watts In It For You.
We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At end there is EEO statement; we should remove that. Also "Nothing in this job description restricts Watts’ right..." maybe not boilerplate? It's a disclaimer; maybe consider legal boilerplate; remove. Also "This position is “at will,”..." remove. Also "Watts In It For You" section includes benefits; keep that. Also "How We Work" maybe keep as part of About? It's cultural; could be part of About the role or maybe we could include as part of About. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include it in About the role paragraph.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits we have; we will create Benefits section.
We must not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So ensure each heading has substantive content.
Now craft HTML.
Structure:
About the role
... combine intro: We’re Watts... mission, what we do for 150 years, scope of position leads Manufacturing Engineering... reports to Director of Operations, based in Export, PA, onsite, travel less than 10%...
Then Responsibilities: Responsibilities
- ... each duty as list item.
We need to capture all duties from "Primary Job Duties And Responsibilities". That's a long paragraph with many duties separated by periods. We should split into list items each duty. Ensure we keep all details.
Let's extract duties:

We could incorporate How We Work into About the role or maybe as a separate section? Not in list but we could add as part of About.
Given instruction to prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine Working Conditions and Physical Requirements into About? But they are specific; maybe we keep them as part of About the role? However the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It didn't forbid other headings but suggests using those. To be safe, we can map:
- About the role: intro + scope + working conditions + physical requirements + how we work (culture)
- Responsibilities: duties list
- Requirements: required qualifications
- Qualifications: preferred qualifications
- Skills: computer skills, understanding of laws, etc. But we already included computer skills in Required Qualifications; maybe we separate skills like Microsoft Office, CAD, etc. However we might just treat Skills as part of Qualifications. But we need a Skills section if we have specific skill content. We have "Excellent computer skills using Microsoft Office or equivalent software", "Experience with Microsoft Project software is a plus", "Experience in CAD and 3D software is a plus". Also "Understanding of and adherence to applicable laws, codes, policies, regulations, and safety practices and procedures". Could be Skills.
We could create Skills section with those.
Benefits section as described.
We must not create Pay or Schedule sections.
Now ensure we don't repeat content.
Let's craft HTML.
We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed.
We'll produce:
