We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real content. We have job description: General Statement Of Duties (description). Then Supervision Received, Supervision Exercised, Examples Of Specific Duties And Responsibilities (list). Then Working Conditions. Then Requirements (list of knowledge, skills, abilities). Then mention license requirement, etc. Then mention full-time, non-exempt, benefits-eligible position, bi-weekly pay rate $2,358.17, grade 14, Step 6, annual base salary $61,312.04. So we have Pay info. Benefits? It says benefits-eligible, but not details. We should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them; it only says benefits-eligible but no specifics. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It states bi-weekly pay rate and annual base salary, so Pay section is appropriate. Benefits: only says benefits-eligible but no detail; we should not create Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. Schedule: mentions work varied shifts, weekends, nights and holidays; work subject to a standby (24 hour) work status. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, application instructions, etc. Also remove "Please review the classification specifications..." maybe keep? It's not boilerplate but maybe not needed? It's a reference; we can keep as part of About the role? Might be considered minor metadata; but we can keep as prose. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Potential sections: - About the role (maybe from General Statement Of Duties and purpose). Could combine General Statement and purpose. - Responsibilities (Examples Of Specific Duties And Responsibilities). Could also include Supervision Received/Exercised? Might be part of Responsibilities or separate? But we can put under Responsibilities. - Requirements (knowledge, skills, abilities, license). Could split into Qualifications and Skills? But we have headings: Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says use those headings if content exists. We have both qualifications (license, knowledge) and skills (ability to use tools, etc.). Could separate. - Working Conditions (maybe under Responsibilities? But we have a separate heading? Not in list; but we could put under Responsibilities or maybe under About the role? There's no specific heading for Working Conditions in allowed list; but we could incorporate into Responsibilities or About the role. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we could put under Responsibilities as a list item? Might be okay. - Pay (bi-weekly rate, annual salary). Use

    Pay

    then

    with details. - Schedule (varied shifts, weekends, nights, holidays, standby 24 hour). Use

    Schedule

    then

    . We should not include Benefits. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now craft HTML. Structure:

The basic purpose is to operate power plant equipment to provide a constant source of steam energy to users and steam‑turbine driven auxiliary equipment.

    Maybe also include supervision? Could add a sentence: Receives close supervision from higher‑grade employees; may exercise functional supervision over Power Plant attendants and other employees assigned to Power Plant operations. That's fine.

    Requirements

    Possession of a current and valid Second Class Steam Fireman's license issued by the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety, pursuant to Chapter 146 of the Massachusetts General Laws.

    Then maybe a
      for knowledge, skills, abilities. But we have separate headings Qualifications and Skills. Let's split. Qualifications: license, knowledge of types/uses of boilers, methods/techniques, principles/practices, types/uses of controls, precision measuring equipment, calibration/adjustment techniques, safety procedures, storage/handling of fuel. Skills: ability to use small hand tools, understand/apply laws/rules, read/interpret documents, use precision measuring equipment, follow oral/written instructions, read/write/comprehend English, maintain accurate records, lift/carry heavy objects, visually distinguish colors, adjust to changing situations for emergencies/production changes. Also based on assignment, possession of a Massachusetts Class 3 Motor Vehicle Operator's License. We could put that under Qualifications as well. Let's do:

      Qualifications

      • Current and valid Second Class Steam Fireman's license (Massachusetts Department of Public Safety).
      • Knowledge of the types and uses of low and/or high pressure boilers.
      • Knowledge of the methods and techniques of operation of steam boilers and auxiliary equipment.

      Now Pay:

      Pay

      The bi‑weekly pay rate is $2,358.17 (grade 14, Step 6), which equates to an annual base salary of $61,312.04.

      Schedule:

      Schedule

      Work involves varied shifts, including weekends, nights and holidays; subject to a standby (24‑hour) work status.

      We might also mention full-time, non-exempt, benefits-eligible, AFSCME bargaining unit. Could be part of About the role or a separate section? There's no heading for Employment type; but we could incorporate into About the role. Add to About the role: "This is a full‑time, non‑exempt, benefits‑eligible position in the AFSCME bargaining unit." Now ensure we didn't repeat job title as heading. We didn't. We removed boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, etc. Check for any leftover boilerplate: "Framingham State University conducts criminal history and sexual offender record checks..." that's boilerplate; we should remove. Also "Framingham State University is an equal opportunity employer..." remove. Also "Members of underrepresented..." remove. Also "Instructions To Apply..." remove. Also "Apply Now Share This!" remove. Now ensure we kept all substantive info: we kept license, knowledge, skills, duties, supervision, working conditions (we didn't explicitly list working conditions like exposure to hazards, heat, heights, etc. That's part of Working Conditions; we omitted. We need to preserve that. The posting includes: "Steam Firemen work under exposure to the hazards of the harmful effects of gases, noxious fumes, chemicals, noise, heat, inadequate ventilation, machinery in motion, etc.; work varied shifts, weekends, nights and holidays; work subject to a standby (24 hour) work status; lift and carry heavy objects; work at heights of up to 100 ft." We have schedule covering shifts, standby. But we missed exposure to hazards, heat, noise, etc., and heights. We should include that somewhere, maybe under Responsibilities or a separate section like Working Conditions. Since there's no specific heading for Working Conditions, we could add a paragraph under About the role or Responsibilities. Better to add a

      Working Conditions

      but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; but we could still add other headings if needed? The instruction: "Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not exclusive list. However later: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we could add a heading like Working Conditions if we have
