We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions like "Please ensure you frequently check the e-mail account you provided on your application, including the spam/junk folder, as this is the primary correspondence method in our recruiting process." Also remove "Please attach an updated resume" maybe considered application instruction; but it's part of Position Notes? Might be considered instruction; but we need to preserve substantive info. The instruction to attach resume is application instruction; we should drop it. Also "Please include detailed work history to be considered, attached resume preferred." That's also instruction; drop.
We need to keep substantive info: description about company, role responsibilities, qualifications, requirements, skills, benefits, pay, schedule.
We need sections: About the role (maybe intro description), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
Let's extract:
About the role: The introductory paragraph about Caterpillar mission and the Stores Controller role description: "The Large Engine Center in Lafayette, IN currently has an opening for an Stores Controller who is responsible for receiving and safely unloading material to be used in assembly. This role is accountable for ordering material to ensure availability, tracking material in Caterpillar’s inventory system, and coordinating material flow with production schedules." Also maybe the earlier mission statement could be part of About the role.
Responsibilities: The list under "Job Duties/Responsibilities May Include, But Are Not Limited To": Receiving and Unloading Material, Ordering Material, Oversee inventory and material flow, Must communicate with other shifts, machine shop, assembly, dispatchers, truck drivers, distribution technicians in other areas, Supply Chain personnel, and management. Also "Candidate will be required to stay in the position for 12 months with the exception of a promotion or nights-to-days move." That's maybe a requirement but could be responsibility? It's more a condition; but we can put under Responsibilities or Requirements. Probably under Requirements.
Requirements: Basic Qualifications: Qualified to safely operate a forklift, and tow truck; Experience with EIMS, Visual Factory ISS, and MESA systems; Basic computer skills; Must have good written and oral communication skills. Also Physical Requirements: lift/push/pull up to 40 lbs; bend/twist at waist; squat; stand on concrete 8+ hours; consistent usage of required PPE. Also maybe "Candidates must be able to read, write, and conduct business in English" (language requirement). Also "Candidates must complete the full hiring process which includes but not limited to: Caterpillar Online Production Assessment (COPA), successful completion of Interview, background check, post offer medical questionnaire, and drug screen." That's part of hiring process; maybe not a requirement but we could include under Requirements? Might be considered part of process; but we can drop as it's procedural. However it's substantive info about hiring process; but we might keep under Requirements? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that info. But where to place? Could be under Requirements (maybe "Hiring Process"). But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put hiring process under Requirements.
Qualifications: Might be similar to Basic Qualifications? Actually "Basic Qualifications" is a heading in posting; we could map that to Qualifications section. But we also have "Top Candidates Will Also Be ..." which are skills/attributes. So we can separate: Qualifications = basic qualifications (forklift, tow truck, EIMS, etc). Skills = self-motivated, safety-conscious, able to work independently, strong interpersonal skills, customer-based focus. Also maybe "good written and oral communication skills" could be skill but we already have under Qualifications; but we can keep.
Benefits: The posting lists many benefits: Medical/Dental/Vision/Life Insurance, Incentives/Bonus Opportunities, Matching 401k, available first day of employment. Also later: "Compensation & Benefits Offered! 13 days / 104 hours of paid Personal Time Off (PTO) - (Prorated based upon start date) 11 Paid holidays 40-hour work weeks with potential for Overtime Climate controlled work environment – most areas 100% 401k match up to 6% Health, dental, vision, & life insurance effective first day of employment Potential for annual bonus Clean/safe work environment". Also later a benefits list: Medical, dental, and vision benefits*Paid time off plan (Vacation, Holidays, Volunteer, etc.)*401(k) savings plans*Health Savings Account (HSA)*Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)*Health Lifestyle Programs*Employee Assistance Program*Voluntary Benefits and Employee Discounts*Career Development*Incentive bonus*Disability benefitsLife InsuranceParental leaveAdoption benefitsTuition Reimbursement. Also note "These benefits also apply to part-time employees". We need to preserve all substantive info; but we should avoid duplication. We'll combine into a Benefits section with bullet list.
Pay: Summary Pay Range $23.33 - $30.33. Also note "Compensation and benefits offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors..." but that's a disclaimer; we can include as part of Pay section maybe as a note.
Schedule: Position available is on 3rd shift (10:30pm – 6:30am). Also "40-hour work weeks with potential for Overtime". Also maybe "Climate controlled work environment – most areas" is not schedule. So schedule: 3rd shift hours, 40-hour work week, potential overtime.
We also have location: Lafayette, Indiana. Could be included in About the role or maybe as a separate note but not a heading. We can include in About the role paragraph.
We must not include headings for empty sections. We'll include all eight sections because we have content for each.
Now produce HTML fragment: use
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove application instructions like "Apply online and create a candidate account." Also remove duplicated lines. Must preserve all substantive info.
