We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings 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 (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also remove sections like "Disclaimers And Definitions", "Application Completion", etc. Also remove "Intern / Co-Op Benefits" maybe? It mentions benefits for interns/co-ops but not for this role. Since the posting does not state benefits for this role, we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It mentions "Intern / Co-Op Benefits" but that's not for this role; it's a generic statement. Likely we should not include Benefits section because no specific benefits for this role are given. Pay and Schedule also not stated explicitly. There's mention of "Ability to work any and all shifts and/or locations as assigned or directed." and "Work any and all shifts and/or locations as assigned or directed." Also "Ability to work all shifts and / or locations assigned, directed, or necessary for this position, including (for some transit / operations roles) up to twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week as necessary to accommodate severe weather conditions, emergencies, or any other circumstances that may potentially impact service or the safety of service." That's schedule info but not explicit schedule like "full-time" etc. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does not state specific pay or schedule (like "40 hours per week", "shift work", etc). It mentions ability to work shifts, but not a defined schedule. Likely we should not include Schedule section. Similarly Pay not mentioned. Benefits not mentioned for this role. So we will include sections: About the role (maybe from first paragraph?), Responsibilities (Duties & Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Requirements & Qualifications), Qualifications maybe overlapping? The instruction says use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we need to decide based on content. The posting has "Minimum Requirements & Qualifications" and "Preferred Experience & Skills" (none). Also "Job Summary". Could treat "Job Summary" as About the role. Then "Duties & Responsibilities" as Responsibilities. Then "Minimum Requirements & Qualifications" as Requirements (or Qualifications). Since there is also "Preferred Experience & Skills" none, we can omit Skills section. Also there is "Substitutions" which is alternative qualifications; could be part of Requirements. Also "Job Conditions" includes many ability statements; could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. We need to preserve all substantive info. We'll create sections: About the role (from Job Summary and mission/vision maybe). Responsibilities (list duties). Requirements (list minimum requirements, qualifications, substitutions, job conditions). Possibly Skills separate? But we have skills listed in Minimum Requirements & Qualifications (effective organizational, analytical, etc). Could put them under Requirements. Since we shouldn't create thin sections, we can combine.
We must output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.

We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
Supervisor of Power Engineering
.
We need to preserve all substantive information: mission, vision, core values, attendance in safety committee meetings, job summary, duties list, supervision note, minimum requirements, substitutions, job conditions, etc. Also note about "Ability to work any and all shifts..." etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, legal, navigation, cookie, application instructions, disclaimers, definitions, etc. Also remove "Intern / Co-Op Benefits" etc. Also remove "Disclaimers And Definitions" etc. Also remove "Application Completion", "Application Deadlines", "Work Environment", "Work Eligibility", "Interviews", "Safety Sensitive Positions", "On-call or 24/7 Positions", "Essential / Emergency Staff", "ADA Accommodations", "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion". Also remove "Job Conditions" maybe? It's not boilerplate; it's substantive ability requirements. We'll keep it as part of Requirements.
We must also remove duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat same sentences.
Let's extract substantive content:
- Vision/mission/values paragraph: "At the MBTA, we envision a thriving region enabled by a best-in-class transit system. Our mission is to serve the public by providing safe, reliable, and accessible transportation. MBTA’s core values are built around safety, service, equity, sustainability, culture, and accessibility, and each employee that works for the MBTA performs their roles based on our vision, mission, and values. This includes attendance, participation, and contribution in local safety committee meetings as needed."
- Job Summary: "The Supervisor of Power Engineering will assist the Deputy Director of Power in directing and controlling the Power Engineering group's work, providing engineering services across all aspects of the Power Department, including utility/substation operations, system control, traction power, facility electrical services, records, and documentation."
- Duties & Responsibilities: list many bullet points. We'll convert each sentence starting with a verb into - . Need to ensure we capture all.
List them:
1. Responsible for conferring with the Deputy Director on problems involving normal operations, changes in plans and procedures, and projected future development.
2. Schedule and assign daily work tasks for up to twenty (20) engineering personnel; monitor performance and progress; coach/mentor; and report status to the Deputy Director.
3. Maintain proper discipline of personnel under their supervision regarding rule violations, poor work performance, absenteeism, and other conditions requiring employee discipline.
4. Manage inspection, testing, and analysis activities for materials and equipment used by the Power Systems Maintenance Department s . (there's a stray space and s; we keep as is)
5. Lead a team and supervise the preparation and updating of power operating plans, charts, maps, graphs, prints, and records.
6. Oversee the preparation of field surveys, studies, designs and specifications, working drawings and reports as required.
7. Assist in maintaining close coordination with the Authority's engineers, consultants, and Capital Delivery regarding design and construction of all new and updated power systems.
8. Provide input on the maintainability of proposed installations and the reliability of products and methods to be employed.
9. Periodically inspect construction of new power equipment to ensure that the finished facility conforms to recommended maintenance and repair standards and applicable codes.
10. Responsible for the development and maintenance of department-wide Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), design standards, and equipment specifications.
11. Oversee the management of department electrical assets, including preventive maintenance scope and schedules, and corrective maintenance activities.
12. Drive a company or personal vehicle to work locations and to assist at emergencies and/or events as needed.
13. Respond to each inquiry, whether from a customer, vendor, or coworker in a professional and courteous manner.
14. Work any and all shifts and/or locations as assigned or directed.
15. Respond or report to work as directed by supervisory personnel for emergencies, extreme weather conditions, or any other abnormal conditions that impair service or the safety of service, twenty four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week.
16. Uphold the rights and interests of the Authority while building and maintaining an effective and productive relationship with employees.
17. Assist in the management of a workforce by ensuring the fair and consistent application and strict adherence to the rules, regulations, collective bargaining agreements (if applicable), and policies of the Authority, including the EEO, Anti-Discrimination, Anti-Harassment, and Anti-Retaliation policies.
18. Perform all other duties and projects that may be assigned.
19. Additional responsibilities may include focus on one or more departments or locations. See applicable addendum for department- or location-specific functions.
Also there is "Supervision Responsible for approximately eleven (11) direct reports and manages the Power Engineering work throughput, including contractors that work as an extension of PSM." This is a separate bullet maybe.
We'll include that as a bullet.
Now Minimum Requirements & Qualifications:
- Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering.
- Five (5) years of recent experience in the design, troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance of power systems, including overhead and underground utilities.
- Two (2) years of supervisory experience managing a team, including but not limited to motivation and performance management.
- Experience with AC distribution systems and high voltage.
- Familiarity with DC distribution systems.
- Effective organizational, analytical, confidentiality, multitasking, time management, and interpersonal skills.
- Strong working knowledge of Word, Excel, Database, PeopleSoft, or Mainframe applications.
- Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information in an appropriate manner.
- Excellent customer service, conflict resolution, writing, and speaking skills.
- Ability to work any and all shifts and/or locations as assigned or directed.
- Ability to supervise and work effectively with a diverse workforce.
- Ability to provide internal and external customers with a courteous and professional experience.
Substitutions:
- A bachelor's degree in Engineering in a non-electrical discipline with the demonstrated ability to comprehend power/electrical systems, and additional years of experience in the design, maintenance, e and construction of overhead and underground power lines and equipment. (Note there's a typo "e and". We'll keep as is.)
Preferred Experience & Skills: None. (We can omit Skills section because none.)
Job Conditions: list many ability statements. We'll incorporate them into Requirements maybe as separate bullet list under Requirements or as separate section? Since they are conditions, we could include them under Requirements as well. But to avoid too thin sections, we can combine all requirements (including job conditions) into a single Requirements section with sub-bullets.
We must not create Skills section if no specific skills beyond those already listed. The posting says "Preferred Experience & Skills None." So we can omit Skills.
We must not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections because not stated.
Thus we will have sections:
About the role
with containing mission/vision/values and job summary.
Responsibilities
with - list.
Requirements
with - list including minimum requirements, substitutions, job conditions.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc inside responsibilities? Actually responsibility #17 includes EEO etc; that's part of duties, we should keep it as it's part of responsibilities. It's not boilerplate; it's a duty to adhere to policies. So keep.
Now we need to ensure we don't include any duplicated lines. Let's check for duplicates: The phrase "Ability to work any and all shifts and/or locations as assigned or directed." appears both in duties (#14) and in requirements. We'll keep both occurrences as they are in different sections; it's okay.
Now produce HTML.
We must not include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine vision/mission/values and job summary.
