Sr Technical Property Adjuster
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, privacy, application instructions). Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Benefits are listed: medical, dental, vision, life, disability insurance, 401K with company match, tuition reimbursement, PTO, company paid holidays, flexible work arrangements, Cultural Awareness Day, on-site medical/wellness center (Worcester only). So Benefits section is present.
Pay: The posting mentions "Compensation: The target hiring range for this role may vary based on geographic location and other factors..." It does not give a specific range, just says may vary. That's not a specific number; it's vague. According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should NOT include Pay section because it's not specific. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly; there is remote full-time/exempt role with field investigations, travel on short notice. Could infer schedule but not explicit. Probably not include Schedule.
We need sections: About the role (position overview), Responsibilities (the "IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:" list), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (maybe combine). The posting has "WHAT YOU NEED TO APPLY:" which includes qualifications, skills, etc. Also there is a list of many abilities. We could split into Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (abilities). But we can also combine into one section if we want fewer sections. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including education, experience, skills), Benefits.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities and qualifications.
We need to format lists with - . For prose, use
.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, privacy policy, application instructions, etc. Also remove "For more than 170 years..." maybe that's about company; could be considered part of About the role? It's generic company description. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not about the role specifically. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The introductory paragraph about The Hanover's history and values might be considered boilerplate but it's not explicitly listed. However it's not specific to the role; could be considered fluff. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; does that include company overview? It's not about the role but maybe considered part of "About the role"? The instruction says "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." It doesn't explicitly say to drop company overview. However we might keep it as part of About the role? The "POSITION OVERVIEW:" section already gives role overview. The introductory paragraph is more about the company. Could be considered filler but not prohibited. Safer to keep it as part of About the role? Might be considered boilerplate but not listed. I'd keep it as a short paragraph under About the role.
We need to exclude "CAREER DEVELOPMENT:" section? It's not a standard heading but could be considered filler. It's generic. Might be considered boilerplate? Not EEO/legal. It's about career development. Might be considered substantive? It's generic but still about the role. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could include it under About the role or maybe drop. I'd drop it as it's not specific to the role.
We need to exclude "Click here for the full list of Benefits" etc. That's a link; we can drop.
We need to exclude "EEO statement:" and everything after.
We need to exclude "Privacy Policy:" etc.
We need to exclude "Compensation:" section because it's vague.
We need to exclude "May be required to have and maintain sufficient home-based internet connection." That's part of qualifications; we keep.
Now let's extract content.
Company intro: "For more than 170 years, The Hanover has been committed to delivering on our promises and being there when it matters the most. We live our values every day, demonstrating we CARE through our values, Sustainability initiatives and inclusive corporate culture." Keep as paragraph.
Position Overview: after that: "Our Property Severity Claims department is seeking a Senior Technical Property Adjuster. This is a remote Full-time/Exempt role with field investigations.

We can combine into About the role section.
Responsibilities: The block starting with "IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:" then many sentences each ending with a period. We need to turn each sentence into a list item? The instruction: Use

Now Qualifications/Requirements/Skills: The block starting with "WHAT YOU NEED TO APPLY:" then a list of bullet-like sentences separated by semicolons or periods. Let's extract each distinct requirement.
