We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, internal career site, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie etc. Must preserve substantive info. Let's parse the posting: - Intro: "If you have what it takes to become part of the Vistra family..." That's generic fluff, maybe part of About the role? Could be considered about the role/company. But we need to decide. - Job Summary: "Normal career level cap position within the engineering hierarchy. General analysis and implementation of generation technologies for application to Vistra operations or commercial development. Manage programs and projects to enhance the commercial availability of new technologies and enhancement to existing technologies." - Job Description: "Key Accountabilities: Technical support for the development of commercial / environmental / reliability / sustainability interests in new technology applications. Technical support to Operations in the application of technologies at operating plants or plants in development Perform root cause analysis Provide innovative solutions for difficult problems Contributes to economic justification/analysis for projects Participate in and lead special projects or teams" - Education, Experience & Skill Requirements: list bullet points. - Key Metrics: "Individual contributor in field of expertise. Provides technical support on a fleetwide basis Maintain effective working relationships. Be able to explain technical information to ensure work/repairs completed correctly. Candidates with all levels of education and experience are encouraged to apply." - Final pay grade and compensation will be based on applicant's experience and qualifications (no specific numbers). That's vague; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "Final pay grade and compensation will be based on applicant's experience and qualifications" - that's not a specific pay or range, it's generic. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does not state actual pay or schedule or benefits. So we should omit Pay, Benefits, Schedule sections. - Job Family: Engineering Services Company Vistra Nuclear Operations Company - Locations: Glen Rose, Texas Texas (typo). That's location info. - "We are a company of people committed to: Exceeding Customer Expectations, Great People, Teamwork, Competitive Spirit and Effective Communication." That's about company values; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not a standard heading; we could include under About the role. - "If this describes you, then apply today! If you currently work for Vistra or its subsidiaries, please apply via the internal career site." That's application instruction; we must remove application instructions. - EEO etc remove. Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe includes job summary and company description), Responsibilities (key accountabilities), Requirements (education, experience, skill requirements), Qualifications (maybe key metrics?), Skills (maybe communication etc). But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see what content we have: - About the role: Could include job summary and company commitment statement. - Responsibilities: Key accountabilities list. - Requirements: Education, Experience & Skill Requirements list. - Qualifications: Key Metrics? Or maybe "Candidates with all levels of education and experience are encouraged to apply." That's not a qualification. - Skills: Communication, ability to execute projects, etc. But we need to decide which headings to use based on content. The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can choose any of those that have real specific content. We have: - About the role: job summary + company commitment. - Responsibilities: key accountabilities. - Requirements: education, experience, skill requirements. - Skills: communication, ability to execute projects, etc. Could be part of Requirements though. - Qualifications: maybe key metrics? Or "Individual contributor in field of expertise..." etc. We need to avoid thin sections; maybe combine some. Better to have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including education, experience, skills), and maybe Qualifications (key metrics). But we need to ensure each heading has substantive content. Let's extract content: About the role: - "Normal career level cap position within the engineering hierarchy. General analysis and implementation of generation technologies for application to Vistra operations or commercial development. Manage programs and projects to enhance the commercial availability of new technologies and enhancement to existing technologies." - Company values: "We are a company of people committed to: Exceeding Customer Expectations, Great People, Teamwork, Competitive Spirit and Effective Communication." We could combine. Responsibilities (Key Accountabilities): - Technical support for the development of commercial / environmental / reliability / sustainability interests in new technology applications. - Technical support to Operations in the application of technologies at operating plants or plants in development - Perform root cause analysis - Provide innovative solutions for difficult problems - Contributes to economic justification/analysis for projects - Participate in and lead special projects or teams Requirements (Education, Experience & Skill Requirements): - BS or greater in an Engineering discipline - Licensed Professional Engineer or meets additional years of experience requirements - Demonstrates and applies knowledge of current and pending regulatory, code and general industry issues to resolve Vistra’s interests. - Proficient with technical evaluation processes. - Proficient in fossil, solar, battery, or nuclear plant technologies - 8 years experience preferred in power plant operations / engineering or comparable industries - Demonstrates application of fundamental scientific principles - Communication – Must be able to effectively communicate with peers, management and/or represent Vistra’s interests to outside agencies - Able to execute projects/strategies with some oversight. - Demonstrated high performer through consecutive evaluations or work history for external candidates. Qualifications (Key Metrics): - Individual contributor in field of expertise. - Provides technical support on a fleetwide basis - Maintain effective working relationships. - Be able to explain technical information to ensure work/repairs completed correctly. - Candidates with all levels of education and experience are encouraged to apply. But note "Candidates with all levels of education and experience are encouraged to apply." is more of an encouragement, not a qualification. We could treat that as part of About the role or just ignore? It's substantive but not a qualification. Could be placed under About the role as encouraging note. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is not filler. We'll produce sections:

We are a company of people committed to: Exceeding Customer Expectations, Great People, Teamwork, Competitive Spirit and Effective Communication.

We omitted the encouragement line; maybe we could add a paragraph under About the role: "Candidates with all levels of education and experience are encouraged to apply." That's substantive. Let's add that as a p after the commitment. Thus About the role p includes that sentence. Now check for any boilerplate removed: We removed internal career site, EEO, accommodation request, etc. Also removed "Job Family Engineering Services Company Vistra Nuclear Operations Company" and "Locations Glen Rose, Texas Texas". Should we include location? The instruction says do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we could fold into a short p under About the role or drop it. The rule: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Location is minor; we could drop it. But we might include as a short p under About the role: "Location: Glen Rose, Texas." However that is minor metadata; but it's not prohibited to include as a p. The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we could add a short p with location. Let's do that. Add after the commitment paragraph: "

Location: Glen Rose, Texas.

" That is minor metadata. Now check for any repeated content: Ensure we didn't repeat job title. Not present. Check for any leftover boilerplate: We removed "If you have what it takes to become part of the Vistra family..." That's generic fluff; we could incorporate into About the role? Actually we omitted that sentence. It's fluff but maybe part of About the role? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Is that sentence substantive? It's generic marketing fluff; but it's part of the posting. However it's not specific to the role; it's generic. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This sentence is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered fluff. However it's not listed as boilerplate to remove. It's part of the intro. Might be considered substantive? It's encouraging to apply. Could be considered part of About the role. But we already have an About the role section; we could include that sentence as part of About the role. However it's vague: "If you have what it takes to become part of the Vistra family and would like to start a promising career with a global leader, take a look at the exciting employment opportunities that are currently available and apply online." That's generic encouragement to apply; could be considered application instruction? It's encouraging to apply online, which is application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove that sentence. Good. Thus we removed it. Now check for any other fluff: "If this describes you, then apply today! If you currently work for Vistra or its subsidiaries, please apply via the internal career site." That's application instruction; removed. Now check for any duplicated lines: none. Now ensure we didn't include Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections. We didn't. Now output only HTML fragment. Let's craft final HTML:

About the role

Normal career level cap position within the engineering hierarchy. General analysis and implementation of generation technologies for application to Vistra operations or commercial development. Manage programs and projects to enhance the commercial availability
