Superintendent
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes JOB SCOPE (description), ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS (list of duties), and Qualifications (education and experience). No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should include sections: About the role (maybe from JOB SCOPE), Responsibilities (from ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS), Qualifications (education and experience). Possibly Skills could be derived from competencies listed (plumbing, minor electrical, heating/boiler, emergency response, preventative maintenance, work order systems, vendor coordination, communication, digital tools, inventory). But we need to see if we should create a Skills section. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could combine skills into Responsibilities or Qualifications. But we have Qualifications already covering education/experience and competencies. Could also have a Skills section for technical skills. However we need to avoid filler. The posting includes many skill-like items: "Independently perform routine plumbing and minor electrical repairs", "Conduct initial heating system diagnostics", etc. Those are responsibilities. So we can put them under Responsibilities. Qualifications section can contain education and experience requirements.
Thus output:

. Now ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS broken into subsections: Building Systems Ownership, Preventative Maintenance & Building Condition, Emergency Response & On-Site Accountability, Work Order Management & Administrative Control, Daily Operations Management & Task Prioritization, Vendor Coordination & Oversight, Communication & Reporting Discipline, Digital Systems & Administrative Tools, Inventory, Supplies & Operational Controls. We need to list each duty as
for section headings only. Within - we can include the substance; we could keep the bold headings as part of li text. We'll preserve all info.
