We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "The Opportunity: Where Digital Design Meets Physical Build" maybe that's about role. Also "What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)" and "Who You Are (Requirements)". Also "Why Join FASTSIGNS?" includes benefits, training, etc. Also "Compensation: $17.00 - $22.00 per hour". Also schedule: "Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM". Also location: "Location: FASTSIGNS | Pittsburgh, PA". Also pay: earlier line "Pay: $17.00 – $22.00 per hour (Based on Experience)". Also benefits: "Comprehensive Benefits: Health/Dental/Vision with Company Contribution. Retirement Security: Simple IRA with Company Match. Work-Life Balance: Consistent Monday–Friday schedule with Paid Holidays and Accrued PTO." Also "Advanced Training: Access to our Online University to master new fabrication techniques." Also "Opportunity for advancement" maybe from earlier bullet list? Actually at top: "Benefits Competitive salaryDental insuranceHealth insuranceOpportunity for advancementPaid time offTraining & development". That seems like a list of benefits but not well formatted. We'll need to parse. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe from "The Opportunity..." paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (list). Benefits (list). Pay (maybe just a paragraph). Schedule (maybe paragraph). Also maybe Qualifications? Not needed separate if covered by Requirements. Skills? Could be part of Requirements. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay range. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract content: Job title: Sign Production Artist / Fabrication Specialist (but we don't repeat as heading).

You are the final set of eyes. If an edge is ragged or a color is off, it doesn't leave your station. - Maintain a clean, organized, and "lean" production environment. Perform basic machine maintenance to keep our tech running at 100%. Who You Are (Requirements): list: - Illustrator Pro: You don't just "know" Illustrator; you understand vector paths, layers, and how to prep files for a plotter or router. - Mechanical Aptitude: You are comfortable with light power tools and have the "hand-eye coordination" required for steady vinyl application. - Detail Obsessed: You notice the 1/16th-of-an-inch difference. You pride yourself on "clean" work and hate wasted material. - Physicality: Ability to stand for the workday, lean over waist-high production tables, and lift up to 50 lbs. - Growth Mindset: You want to master new machines and software.

About the role

The Opportunity: Where Digital Design Meets Physical Build Are you a "Maker" who loves seeing your digital work turn into a physical reality? At FASTSIGNS/Pittsburgh, we are looking for a Sign Production Artist who is equal parts technical designer and hands-on fabricator. This isn't a "sit-at-a-desk-all-day" graphic design job. You are the heartbeat of our shop—the person who takes a vision, pre-flights the files, and uses high-tech machinery to build world-class signage. If you have a "perfectionist" eye for detail and love working with your hands, we want to talk to you.

Benefits

  • Advanced Training: Access to our Online University to master new fabrication techniques.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Health/Dental/Vision with Company Contribution.
  • Retirement Security: Simple IRA with Company Match.
  • Work-Life Balance: Consistent Monday–Friday schedule with Paid Holidays and Accrued PTO.
  • Competitive salary
  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance
  • Opportunity for advancement
  • Paid time off
  • Training & development
But note some duplication: "Comprehensive Benefits: Health/Dental/Vision with Company Contribution." already covers health/dental. Might be okay but we could keep both? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep both the bullet list from "Why Join FASTSIGNS?" and also the earlier benefits list. However we might combine to avoid duplication but that would be summarizing away detail? The earlier list is just keywords; the later list has more detail. We could keep both but risk duplication. The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate. The earlier list: Competitive salary, Dental insurance, Health insurance, Opportunity for advancement, Paid time off, Training & development. The later list includes Advanced Training, Comprehensive Benefits (Health/Dental/Vision with Company Contribution), Retirement Security (Simple IRA with Company Match), Work-Life Balance (Consistent Monday–Friday schedule with Paid Holidays and Accrued PTO). The earlier list's items are somewhat covered: Competitive salary (maybe not covered elsewhere), Dental insurance (covered in Comprehensive Benefits), Health insurance (covered), Opportunity for advancement (not explicitly elsewhere), Paid time off (covered in Work-Life Balance), Training & development (covered in Advanced Training). So we could keep the earlier list items that are not covered elsewhere: Competitive salary, Opportunity for advancement. The rest are covered. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can keep them as separate items but they'd be duplicates. The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate. Thus Benefits section could include: - Competitive salary - Opportunity for advancement - Advanced Training: Access to our Online University to master new fabrication techniques. - Comprehensive Benefits: Health/Dental/Vision with Company Contribution. - Retirement Security: Simple IRA with Company Match. - Work-Life Balance: Consistent Monday–Friday schedule with Paid Holidays and Accrued PTO. We could also keep Dental insurance, Health insurance, Paid time off, Training & development as separate but they'd be duplicates. Better to deduplicate. Now Pay section: we have Pay: $17.00 – $22.00 per hour (Based on Experience). Also Compensation: $17.00 - $22.00 per hour. Duplicate. We'll keep one Pay section. Schedule: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM. We could also include location maybe as a paragraph under About the role or separate? Not required heading but we can include as

Location: FASTSIGNS | Pittsburgh, PA

maybe under About the role or separate. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we can include as a paragraph. Thus final HTML:
