We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes Minimum Qualifications, Desired Qualifications, Position Purpose (maybe About the role). Also includes some details like shift availability, physical ability, etc. We need to parse content and produce appropriate sections.
We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to extract:
- Minimum Qualifications: list of items: high school graduation, endorsed trade school or equivalent; proof of four years experience operating heating plants, power houses or boiler rooms with high pressure steam and/or HTHW; valid current City of Detroit high pressure boiler operator’s license; demonstrate operation and maintenance working knowledge of hydronic heat systems, fans, motors, isolation valves, control valves, pumps, expansion tanks, heat exchangers, cooling towers and water chemical treatment; evaluate and take corrective steps to resolve equipment malfunctions; knowledge, experience and training for flame monitor safety controls; perform boiler inspection teardown and restore boiler to service; understand, troubleshoot and reset boiler management system components; working knowledge of other trades including electrical and plumbing installations and ability to perform repairs on these systems; competence to repair equipment professionally; ability to read, understand, interpret, follow blueprints, sketches, job specs, layout piping, directions, safety labels, equipment manuals; aptitude and skills to operate a personal computer; must be available to work weekends, holidays, midnight and evening shifts as needed and respond to emergency calls; must have physical ability to perform full range of duties and tolerate high heat and noise; ability to work without supervision; ability to communicate effectively with supervisor, students, staff, faculty, visitors; must possess a valid driver’s license and driving record acceptable to University by its insurance carrier.
- Desired Qualifications: minimum 2 years experience operating a BAS using Honeywell EBI, ALC WebCTRL, Johnson Controls, Tridium/Niagara, comparable BAS; knowledge and experience using ABB Industrial Compact AC800M PLC’s, Bailey SLC’s, Allen Bradley Logix or other industrial automation controls; knowledge, experience and formal training for Fireye E-110 or newer flame monitor safety controls; experience with Cogeneration.
- Position Purpose: successful candidate will become part of skilled trade’s team responsible for CHP and campus-wide maintenance activities; called upon to perform variety of tasks associated with maintaining and operating CHP, HTHW distribution system, building HVAC, and various mechanical/plumbing/electrical/control systems.
- Additional info: Job Open Date 06/30/2026, Job Close Date (blank). Probably we can include a short paragraph for metadata like posting dates.
We need sections: maybe "About the role" (position purpose), "Responsibilities" (maybe derived from minimum qualifications tasks?), "Qualifications" (minimum and desired), "Skills" (maybe computer operation, communication, etc). But we must only create sections if we have real specific content. We can combine Minimum and Desired under "Qualifications". Could also have "Requirements". The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which to include.
We have content for About the role (Position Purpose). Responsibilities: we could derive from minimum qualifications tasks like operate and maintain heating plant, evaluate malfunctions, perform boiler inspection, troubleshoot boiler management system, repair equipment, read blueprints, etc. That seems like responsibilities.
Qualifications: we have minimum and desired.
Skills: maybe computer operation, communication, ability to work without supervision, etc. Could be separate but we could also incorporate into qualifications.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless posting actually states them. The posting mentions shift availability (weekends, holidays, midnight and evening shifts) and emergency calls. That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section with that info. Also physical ability to tolerate heat and noise maybe not schedule.
We have no explicit Benefits or Pay. So omit those sections.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

Let's draft:
About the role
The successful candidate will become part of a skilled trade’s team responsible for the Central Heating Plant (CHP) and campus-wide maintenance activities. This individual will be called upon to perform a variety of tasks associated with maintaining and operating CHP, High Temperature Hot Water (HTHW) distribution system, building HVAC, and various mechanical/plumbing/electrical/control systems.
Responsibilities
- Operate and maintain heating plants, power houses, or boiler rooms with high pressure steam and/or High Temperature Hot Water (HTHW).
- Demonstrate operation and maintenance working knowledge of hydronic heat systems, fans, motors, isolation valves, control valves, pumps, expansion tanks, heat exchangers, cooling towers, and water chemical treatment.
- Evaluate and take corrective steps to resolve equipment malfunctions.
- Perform boiler inspection teardown and restore boiler to service.
- Understand, troubleshoot, and reset boiler management system components.
- Possess working knowledge of other trades including electrical and plumbing installations and ability to perform repairs on these systems.
- Repair equipment in a professional manner.
- Read, understand, interpret, and follow blueprints, sketches, job specifications, layout piping, directions, safety labels, equipment manuals, etc.
- Operate a personal computer.
- Work without supervision.
- Communicate effectively with supervisor, students, staff, faculty, and visitors.
- Maintain a valid driver’s license with an acceptable driving record per University insurance carrier.
Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications
- High school graduation, endorsed trade school, or an equivalent combination of education.
- Proof of four years of experience operating heating plants, power houses, or boiler rooms with high pressure steam and/or High Temperature Hot Water (HTHW) operations.
- Valid current City of Detroit high pressure boiler operator’s license.
- Knowledge, experience, and training for flame monitor safety controls.
But we need to include all minimum qualification items, not just those. Let's list all.
Better to combine all minimum qualification items into a single list under Minimum Qualifications.
Similarly Desired Qualifications list.
We could have:
Minimum Qualifications
...
Desired Qualifications
...
But the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It didn't forbid subheadings like . It said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It didn't say we cannot use other headings, but to be safe we could keep only sections and embed lists inside. Could have a Qualifications section with two sublists preceded by
Minimum Qualifications: and Desired Qualifications:. But that might be considered prose. Better to keep
Qualifications and inside have
Minimum Qualifications:
...
Desired Qualifications:
...
. That seems okay.
Similarly for Skills we could list computer operation, communication, etc. But we already have many under Responsibilities. Might be redundant. Perhaps we can create Skills section for things like computer operation, communication, ability to work without supervision, reading blueprints, etc. But we already covered those in Responsibilities. To avoid duplication, we could keep Responsibilities as duties, and Qualifications as requirements, and maybe Skills for things like computer operation, communication, etc. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine.
Let's decide: Sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Schedule.
Under Qualifications we will have Minimum and Desired subheadings (maybe or just bold text). Since they said use for section headings, but didn't forbid other headings. Safer to use
Minimum Qualifications:
etc.
Schedule: include shift availability, emergency calls, physical ability to tolerate heat and noise? Physical ability maybe not schedule but could be under Responsibilities. We'll put schedule info: must be available to work weekends, holidays, midnight and evening shifts as needed and respond to emergency calls.
We also need to include Job Open Date maybe as metadata short paragraph.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present.
Let's craft final HTML.
Check that we preserve all substantive info: Did we miss any? Let's list all items from posting:
