We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting. Content: - Title: Technical Service Specialist – Kentucky / SW Ohio (but we don't repeat as heading) - Intro: "We are looking for a Technical Service Specialist to join our Automotive Refinish team in Kentucky / SW Ohio! Field Role: Company Car provided New finish, Proven expertise. Bolder ambition. If you're someone who inspires others, owns their impact, and wants to elevate what they do, you'll fit right in." This is prose about role. - Then: "Until July 1, our business was part of BASF. As part of the current transition, all job listings and the application process are still hosted on the BASF platform and therefore fully presented in BASF branding. Please do not be confused by this: All roles are positions at Surventis, and your application will be submitted to us." This is metadata about application process; we should drop application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is about where application is hosted; maybe we can drop as it's not substantive about role. Probably drop. - Then: "At Surventis, we go beyond the surface - in everything we do. We put customers at the center, think one step ahead, and develop solutions that create real value and lasting partnerships. We inspire each other to think further, take ownership of our work, and constantly push to elevate what's possible. If you bring your full self, challenge the obvious answer, and want to grow with a team that means it - this is your place." This is about company culture; could go under About the role or maybe a separate section? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put company overview under About the role. - Then: "Surventis is a global expert in the development, production and marketing of innovative and sustainable automotive OEM and refinish coatings, decorative paints as well as applied surface treatments for metal, plastic and glass substrates in a wide range of industries. This portfolio is supplemented by "Beyond Paint Solutions," which enables new applications with innovative surfaces." This is also company description; could be part of About the role. - Then: "You will work with some of the largest Body Shop and Distribution organizations in the market through paint application process development, correct application of products through teaching & hands on demonstrations and helping the sales team convert new business. You will work closely with the sales team to make sure our distribution partners are properly trained and can effectively sell and position our product offerings against competitive product lines. In addition, you will work with the Business Development and Sales team to gain new business and ensure identified Body Shop KPI’s are achieved." This is responsibilities. - Then: "As a Technical Service Specialist – Kentucky / SW Ohio - Automotive Refinish you will..." then bullet list of responsibilities (though not bullet but sentences). We need to extract responsibilities as list items. List of responsibilities: - Be responsible for the technical success of Surventis’ automotive refinish products, in the Kentucky / SW Ohio markets. - Work on coating technologies including solvent & waterborne base coat/clear coat systems, OEM paint approval process, new product and process development at the field level and affecting positive financial impact through product usage and application training. - Train and develop our Body Shop and Distribution customers, you will make process improvement recommendations that can be highly valuable to end users. - Lead new product and customer demonstrations, being proficient in product application, selling and implementing new products, and generating a positive experience with Surventis-branded products. - Participate in the technical aspects of the sales process. - Lead customer training to ensure Surventis product proficiencies and product conversions of new Surventis customers. - Work with the Surventis team to help meet and exceed new business and financial targets. - Add value to our customers through root cause analysis, trouble-shooting technical applications, and color match issues. - Communicate and demonstrate the benefits of digital applications to customers, driving adoption and engagement. These are responsibilities. - Then: "If you have..." then qualifications/requirements list: List: - HS Diploma (or equivalent) coupled with relevant experience. - At least 10 years of industry experience as a refinish tech (preferably). - Strong understanding of competitive products and tools. - Proficiency with Surventis’ current Automotive Refinish products and technology tools (a plus). - Ability to utilize Microsoft Office tools to lead presentations focused on introducing new products to the market and supporting a better understanding of Surventis-branded products. - CRM expertise is a plus. These are requirements/qualifications/skills. We need to decide which heading to use. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can separate Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. But we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we have both "Requirements" and "Qualifications" as possible headings. We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We have content for requirements/qualifications/skills. Could split: Requirements (HS Diploma, 10 years experience), Qualifications (understanding of competitive products, proficiency with Surventis products, Microsoft Office ability), Skills (CRM expertise is a plus). But that may be thin. Better to have a single "Requirements" section containing all. Or "Qualifications". The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have one section for Requirements/Qualifications/Skills combined under maybe "Requirements". Or we could have "Requirements" and "Skills". Let's think: The list includes both hard requirements and plus items. Could treat all as Requirements. Then we could have a separate "Skills" for CRM expertise? But that's also a plus. Might be okay to have just "Requirements". Then we have Pay section: "Pay transparency Surventis is committed to pay transparency practices. The competitive Pay Range for this role is $85,000 - 100,000 depending on qualifications. Actual pay will be determined based on education, certifications, experience, and other job-related factors permitted by law." That's specific pay range, so we include Pay section. Benefits: Not mentioned besides "Company Car provided". That's a benefit. Also maybe other benefits not listed. The posting mentions "Field Role: Company Car provided". That's a benefit. So we can include Benefits section with that. Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we omit Schedule. About the role: we have company overview and intro. Could be About the role. Responsibilities: we have list. Requirements: we have list. Pay: we have range. Benefits: company car. We should also include maybe "About the role" includes the introductory paragraph about inspiring others etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we start with

About the role

etc. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

    . We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the lists. We need to remove boilerplate: privacy statement, EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "Privacy statement", "Equal employment opportunities", "Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis." Also remove "Until July 1..." etc. Also remove "Please do not be confused by this: All roles are positions at Surventis, and your application will be submitted to us." Also remove "As part of the current transition..." etc. Also remove "We will never request financial information..." etc. Also remove "Pay transparency" maybe we keep the pay range but the surrounding sentence about pay transparency is okay to keep as part of Pay section? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The pay transparency statement is not boilerplate? It's a statement about pay transparency; could be considered part of Pay section. We can keep the pay range sentence and maybe the sentence about actual pay determination. The "Pay transparency Surventis is committed to pay transparency practices." could be considered boilerplate? It's a statement about policy; but it's not EEO. Might be okay to keep as part of Pay section. However, to be safe, we can keep the pay range and the determination factors. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The pay transparency statement is substantive? It's about policy; but it's not required. Might be okay to keep. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. Not present. Now craft HTML. Structure:
