We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We have: - Location: Kinston, NC 28504 | On-site Job Type: Full-Time, Contract Schedule: Monday–Friday Pay Rate: $32.14/hour - About the role: The first paragraph after title: "PDS Tech Commercial is partnering with a leader in the aviation industry to find an experienced Tooling Technician ready to put their precision, mechanical expertise, and problem-solving skills to work. In this hands-on role, you'll maintain, repair, calibrate, and improve the specialized tooling that supports advanced aerostructure production. From precision jigs and molds to fixtures and lay-up tools, your work will directly contribute to the quality, accuracy, and reliability of aircraft manufacturing operations." - Your Impact: paragraph. - What You'll Do: list of responsibilities (many bullet-like sentences). We'll put under Responsibilities. - Required Qualifications: list. - Preferred Qualifications: list. - Why Join Us? Could be Benefits? Actually they talk about benefits later: "Access Competitive Benefits. Eligible PDS Tech Commercial employees may have access to benefits and resources based on applicable eligibility requirements and plan terms." Then later: "Benefit offerings available for our associates include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, additional voluntary benefits, EAP program, commuter benefits and a 401K plan. Our benefit offerings provide employees the flexibility to choose the type of coverage that meets their individual needs. In addition, our associates may be eligible for paid leave including Paid Sick Leave or any other paid leave required by Federal, State, or local law, as well as Holiday pay where applicable." Thus we have Benefits content. - Pay: "Pay Details: $32.14 per hour" - Schedule: "Schedule: Monday–Friday" earlier. Thus we can include sections: About the role (maybe combine with Your Impact? but we can have About the role as a heading with paragraphs). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe combine Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? The spec says we can have Requirements and Qualifications sections separate. But we need to decide. The posting has Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could map Required Qualifications to Requirements section, Preferred Qualifications to Qualifications section (or Skills). But also there is Skills maybe from "Strong written and verbal communication skills" etc. However we can just use Requirements for Required Qualifications, Qualifications for Preferred Qualifications, and maybe Skills not needed if content overlaps. But we must not create empty sections. We also have Pay and Schedule sections. Benefits section. Thus output:

We must not repeat job title as heading. Also we must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, privacy, etc. Also remove "Equal Opportunity Employer/Veterans/Disabled Military..." etc. Also remove "To read our Candidate Privacy Information Statement..." etc. Also remove "This position requires use of information or access to facilities subject to ITAR..." maybe keep? It's substantive? It's about eligibility but maybe considered boilerplate? It's a requirement about ITAR. Could be considered part of Requirements? It mentions "This position requires use of information or access to facilities subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or Export Administration Regulations (EAR)." That is a requirement. Could include in Requirements as a bullet. But we already have Requirements list; we could add that bullet. However the spec says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that statement somewhere. Could add to Requirements as a bullet. Also the "Requirements" section at the bottom about arrest and conviction records etc. That's also substantive (legal). Should we include? It's about consideration of applicants with arrest records. That's substantive. Could include in Requirements as well. But we must avoid duplication. We'll include relevant bits. Let's extract details: About the role paragraph: "PDS Tech Commercial is partnering with a leader in the aviation industry to find an experienced Tooling Technician ready to put their precision, mechanical expertise, and problem-solving skills to work. In this hands-on role, you'll maintain, repair, calibrate, and improve the specialized tooling that supports advanced aerostructure production. From precision jigs and molds to fixtures and lay-up tools, your work will directly contribute to the quality, accuracy, and reliability of aircraft manufacturing operations." Your Impact paragraph: "As a Tooling Technician, you'll help ensure critical manufacturing tools and equipment remain accurate, reliable, and ready for production. You'll troubleshoot tooling issues, perform repairs and preventive maintenance, support root cause analysis, and collaborate with engineering, vendors, leadership, and other technical teams to develop effective solutions. If you enjoy working with your hands, solving complex mechanical problems, and seeing the direct impact of your craftsmanship, this is an opportunity to bring those skills into the aviation industry." We could combine both into About the role section as two paragraphs. Responsibilities list: The bullet points under "What You'll Do Your Day-to-day Responsibilities Will Include" then a long sentence with many items separated by periods. We need to split into list items. Let's parse: - Dismantle, move, assemble, install, and repair industrial machinery and equipment according to layout plans, blueprints, drawings, specifications, and verbal instructions. - Maintain, repair, and support the calibration of precision jigs, molds, fixtures, and tooling used in aerostructure manufacturing. - Rework and maintain tools made from a variety of materials. - Repair and build lay-up tools used in the production environment. - Dismantle machinery and equipment using hand tools such as hammers, wrenches, and crowbars. - Move machinery and equipment using hoists, dollies, rollers, trucks, and overhead gantry cranes, as appropriate. - Assemble and install equipment such as conveyors and tram rails using hand and power tools. - Construct foundations, align machinery, and perform scheduled inspections and maintenance. - Set up and operate machine tools and fabrication machinery to rework existing parts or manufacture new components. - Perform root cause analysis to support reliability and continuous improvement efforts. - Collaborate with vendors, engineering, team leaders, customers, other skilled trades, and management to troubleshoot equipment issues and develop corrective actions. - Perform routine minor machine and tooling maintenance, including changing filters, maintaining lubrication and coolant levels, and completing other basic preventive maintenance tasks. - Follow established safety, quality, FOD, clean-as-you-go, and OSHA practices throughout all work activities. - Accurately document work and retrieve technical information using applicable computer systems. That's 14 items. Required Qualifications list: - High School Diploma/GED or WorkKeys Assessment completion - 3+ years of aerospace tooling or precision machining experience - Experience working with and interpreting GD&T blueprints - Experience with precision tooling, jigs, molds, or fixtures - Experience with laser trackers, overhead gantry cranes, and hydraulic systems - Basic proficiency with a variety of hand and power tools - Ability to read and work from blueprints, layouts, drawings, and technical instructions - Knowledge of workplace safety and quality requirements, including FOD and clean-as-you-go practices - Strong written and verbal communication skills in English - Ability to clearly communicate complex technical issues - Effective interpersonal and collaboration skills - Ability to maintain confidentiality when handling sensitive information - Ability to meet applicable U.S. person/ITAR requirements - Candidates must also be able to successfully complete required post-recruitment training, including: Health & Safety, General Aircraft Familiarization, Quality Training We could split training as separate bullet or keep as one. Preferred Qualifications list: - Vocational or technical school training related to industrial machinery, tooling, machining, or equipment maintenance - Previous employer-provided training in the dismantling, moving, installation, and repair of industrial machinery and equipment - Strong experience repairing or fabricating aerospace tooling - Experience using computerized systems to enter, generate, and retrieve technical information - Working knowledge of SAP and Microsoft Excel - Experience supporting tooling reliability, root cause analysis, and corrective action initiatives Benefits: list: - medical - dental - vision - life insurance - short-term disability - additional voluntary benefits - EAP program - commuter benefits - 401K plan - paid leave including Paid Sick Leave or any other paid leave required by Federal, State, or local law - Holiday pay where applicable Pay: $32.14 per hour Schedule: Monday–Friday Also location: Kinston, NC 28504 | On-site Job Type: Full-Time, Contract. Could we include location and job type in About the role? Might be considered metadata. The spec says do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Location and job type could be minor metadata; we could include a short p after About the role? But we already have About the role paragraphs; we could add a sentence: "Located in Kinston, NC 28504. This is an on-site, full-time contract position." That preserves info. Also the statement about ITAR earlier: "This position requires use of information or access to facilities subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or Export Administration Regulations (EAR). These regulations may limit access of controlled technologies: 1) to U.S. Persons, including U.S. Citizens, lawful permanent residents, and other narrow categories including refugees and asylees, or 2) to certain foreign nationals that have received an export license." That's substantive; we could include in Requirements as a bullet. Also the "Requirements" section at bottom about arrest and conviction records etc. That's also substantive; we could include in Requirements as a bullet: "The Company will consider qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records in accordance with federal, state, and local laws and/or security clearance requirements, including, as applicable: The California Fair Chance Act, Los Angeles City Fair Chance Ordinance, Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers, San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance. Massachusetts Candidates Only: It is unlawful in Massachusetts to require or administer a lie detector test as a condition of employment or continued employment. An employer who violates this law shall be subject to criminal penalties and civil liability." We'll include that as a bullet or maybe separate paragraph under Requirements. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown. Let's craft. We'll have:
