Sr. Safety Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Overview, Job Summary, Responsibilities (with subparts), Qualifications (Required, Preferred, Physical Demands), Benefits & Perks, Where You'll Be, Who We Are, etc. We must use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. No Pay or Schedule unless present. There's no explicit Pay or Schedule. So we omit those. We need to map content to appropriate headings: Overview could be "About the role". Responsibilities heading. Qualifications heading (maybe Requirements). Skills maybe part of Qualifications. Benefits heading. Possibly "Location" or "Where You'll Be" could be under "About the role" or separate? The instruction says use headings for those specific names; we can add others? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but likely we should stick to those. We can embed location within About the role or maybe a separate "Location" but not required. Safer to include location within About the role paragraph. We must use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So responsibilities list should be
  • . Qualifications list also
    • . Benefits list also
      • . For prose use

        . We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove the YouTube link and "Meet the Recruiter: Anh Martin" maybe considered boilerplate? It's not essential job description; but it's part of overview. Might keep as part of overview? It's not a duty. Could be considered filler. Probably remove. We need to keep all substantive content: Overview paragraphs, Job Summary, Responsibilities (with subparts), Qualifications (Required Education, Certifications, Essential Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Physical Demands), Benefits & Perks, Where You'll Be, Who We Are. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't include Pay or Schedule. Let's craft HTML. Structure:

        About the role

        Overview paragraphs (combine overview, job summary, maybe location). We'll include overview text: "Do you want to join a team that's changing the world? ..." plus job summary and location info. Better to separate: About the role includes overview and job summary and location. Then

        Responsibilities

        • ... each duty as separate li. We have many duties grouped under Functional Operations, Performance Optimization & Continuous Improvement, Training & Team Support, Cross-Functional Collaboration & Communication, Quality, Safety & Compliance, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Requirements. We'll break each bullet as li. Then

          Qualifications

          We could split into Required Education, Certifications, Essential Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Physical Demands. Could use subheadings? Not allowed? Only h3 for sections; we could still use

          but not specified. Better to keep as

          • with details inside li maybe using . But we need to preserve detail. Could use
            • Required Education, Certifications, and Licenses: ...
            etc. Similarly for Essential Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Physical Demands. Then

            Benefits

            • each benefit. We might also include a short paragraph about eligibility note. We must not include fluff like "Available to eligible employees starting the first day of the month following your start date." That's substantive; keep. Now produce HTML. Let's extract text.
