OTHRFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Why You’ll Love It Here" which is like benefits/culture. Also "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Physical Demands", "Environmental Conditions", "Tools & Equipment", "Non-Union Benefits". Also "People Promise" but that's EEO boilerplate; we should remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. Also Spanish posting duplicate; we should ignore duplicate content (should not repeat). We need to preserve all substantive information, but remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, navigation, cookie, application instructions. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting includes "Why You’ll Love It Here" which could be considered Benefits or About the role? There's also "Non-Union Benefits" section. There's no explicit Pay or Schedule specifics. There's "Competitive pay" under benefits but no specific numbers. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive pay" and "Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)" etc. That's benefits. So we can include a Benefits section with those items. Pay section would be if they gave specific pay range; they didn't, so omit Pay. Schedule: not given, omit. We need to include About the role? The posting starts with "Join a Company That Grows People At Lewis..." which is like an overview. Could be About the role. We'll treat that as About the role section. Responsibilities: present. Qualifications: present (includes "What You Bring"). Skills? Could be part of Qualifications but we could separate Skills if there is distinct list. The posting includes "Technical Knowledge and Skills Certification" etc. Might be okay to keep under Qualifications. We also have Physical Demands, Environmental Conditions, Tools & Equipment. Those are not in the prescribed heading list but we could still include them as sections? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings only; but we could also include other headings if needed? It says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive. However later: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine some. But we need to preserve all substantive information. Physical Demands, Environmental Conditions, Tools & Equipment are substantive. We could incorporate them into Qualifications or Requirements? Might be better to keep as separate sections with appropriate headings like Physical Demands, Environmental Conditions, Tools & Equipment. The instruction didn't forbid other headings; just gave examples. So we can use those. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, People Promise (which is EEO), Spanish posting duplicate, navigation, legal, etc. Also remove "Comments:" lines? Those are substantive? They give extra info about variability; they are part of Physical Demands and Environmental Conditions. We should keep them as part of those sections. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content. About the role: The introductory paragraph(s) before "Why You’ll Love It Here". Actually the posting: "Join a Company That Grows People At Lewis, we’re not just trimming trees — we’re building a future. As the second-largest utility vegetation management company in North America and a proud employee-owned business, we believe every person on our team matters. When you join Lewis, you're not just taking a job — you're investing in your future. Why You’ll Love It Here Experience the great outdoors while working in nature, not stuck behind a desk! Elevate your career with us — we prioritize training and internal promotions! Join a vibrant team that champions safety, values your feedback, and fosters a strong sense of camaraderie! Shape your future with us through our fantastic Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)!" So About the role could be the first two sentences: "Join a Company That Grows People At Lewis, we’re not just trimming trees — we’re building a future. As the second-largest utility vegetation management company in North America and a proud employee-owned business, we believe every person on our team matters. When you join Lewis, you're not just taking a job — you're investing in your future." Then "Why You’ll Love It Here" could be considered Benefits or culture; but we have a Benefits section later. We could treat "Why You’ll Love It Here" as part of About the role or as a separate section like "Benefits". However we already have Non-Union Benefits list. The "Why You’ll Love It Here" includes outdoor work, training, internal promotions, safety, camaraderie, ESOP. ESOP also appears in Benefits. To avoid duplication, we could merge. Better: About the role: introductory paragraph. Then Benefits: list of benefits (competitive pay, ESOP, paid training, health/dental/vision/HSA, 401k, PTO, EAP). Also include the "Why You’ll Love It Here" items as benefits? Might be redundant but we can incorporate them as bullet points under Benefits. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep the "Why You’ll Love It Here" statements exactly as they appear (or close). We can put them as a
    under Benefits or under About the role. Let's decide: We'll have sections: - About the role (intro paragraph) - Why You’ll Love It Here (maybe as a subsection but heading not in list; but we could treat as Benefits? However we already have Benefits heading. Could combine: Benefits section includes both the bullet list and the "Why You’ll Love It Here" points. But we need to preserve them; we can include them as bullet points. Thus Benefits section will contain: - Competitive pay - Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) - Paid training and industry certifications - Health, dental, vision & HSA options - 401(k) + Paid time off and Employee Assistance Program (EAP) - Experience the great outdoors while working in nature, not stuck behind a desk! - Elevate your career with us — we prioritize training and internal promotions! - Join a vibrant team that champions safety, values your feedback, and fosters a strong sense of camaraderie! - Shape your future with us through our fantastic Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)! But note ESOP appears twice; we could deduplicate but that would be summarizing away detail? It's duplicate; we could keep one. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplicate lines are not substantive new info; but removing duplicate could be considered summarizing away detail? It's redundant but still same info. Safer to keep both? Might be considered duplication but not harmful. However we can keep one to avoid redundancy; but it's not inventing or summarizing away detail, it's removing duplicate which is not adding new info. I'd say it's okay to deduplicate as it's not losing substantive unique info. We'll keep one ESOP mention. Now Responsibilities: we need to extract the bullet list under "Responsibilities What You’ll Do as a Top Trimmer". The paragraph after that is a description; then a list of responsibilities each starting with a verb. We'll turn each line into
  • . We need to ensure we capture all responsibilities lines: - Perform advanced tree trimming and removal work while aloft or using aerial lift equipment. - Support and lead job site and work zone set up, maintenance, and traffic control. - Lead tree felling, rigging, and clearance activities near energized lines (vegetation and debris removal). - Support and lead ground-level tree pruning and removal - Support and direct crews in the absence of the Crew Leader. - Apply herbicides in accordance with laws and company guidelines. - Inspect, maintain/prepare, and operate work tools (Chainsaw), heavy equipment (Chippers), and other equipment as assigned (Relevant certifications apply). - Operate/Drive, Load/Unload, and maintain trucks and other work vehicles. - Ensure team and public safety by identifying hazards, maintaining clear communication, and providing support to fellow employees both on the ground and while aloft. - Train and retrain crew members on climbing, trimming, and safety practices. - Promote positive relations with customers and the public and assist the Crew Leader in gaining consent from property owners. - Assist with job briefings, communicate new equipment specifications, and ensure all safety protocols are followed. - Participate in emergency response and storm work as needed. Note there is a line: "Support and lead ground-level tree pruning and removal" missing a period; we keep as is. Now Qualifications: under "Qualifications What You Bring". There's a paragraph then bullet list. We need to capture: - Minimum two years of experience on tree crews and completion of all Top Trimmer-level qualifications. - Possess general knowledge of tree identification, growth habits, and proper pruning techniques. - Knows and understands the ANSI Z133 Safety Requirements and A300 Pruning Standards for arboricultural operations. - Advanced in tree ascent/descent using ropes and a safety saddle, and skilled in aerial lift operations. - Proficiency in electrical circuit basics and interpreting circuit maps. - Top Trimmer Technical Knowledge and Skills Certification (or ability to complete). - Valid driver’s license, CDL, and required medical certification. - CPR and First Aid certified (provided by Lewis). - Ability to lead others, communicate effectively, and work independently. - Ensure compliance with all applicable state, local, and federal regulations. Then there is a section "Physical Demands Ability To Lift 50 lbs..." which we will treat as separate section. Physical Demands: we need to capture the list: - Ability To Lift 50 lbs. to shoulder height or higher - Push or pull up to 50 lbs. - Walk or hike up to one mile on uneven terrain - Endure extreme climate variances (e.g., severe cold to high heat and humidity) - Hear, speak, see, and communicate effectively - Operate two-handed tools and equipment - Ability to progress skill in tree ascent and descent - Ability to work and maneuver at considerable heights during adverse weather conditions - Continuously – Standing, Walking, Handling/Grasping, Repetitive Movements, and Tree Ascending/Descending. - Frequently - Lifting/Carrying, Pushing/Pulling, Stooping/Kneeling, Reaching. - Occasionally – Driving, Climbing Stairs/Ladders. - Rarely – Sitting / Operating - Comments: You should expect variability in size, proportions, conditions, and weights of supplies, equipment, and work conditions. We need to keep the comments as part of Physical Demands. Environmental Conditions: - Continuously - Outdoor work - Occasionally - Noise Levels - Frequently - Extreme Temperatures - Rarely - Contact with hazardous materials or air quality issues - Never - Confined Spaces - Comments: You should expect variability based on regional weather patterns. - Personal protective equipment is required to be worn by OSHA and ANSI. Tools & Equipment: - Equipment May Include Aerial lift trucks, dump trucks, ATVs - Chainsaws, pole saws, handsaws, chippers - Blowers, pruners, rakes, winches, ropes - Climbing gear: harness, chaps, spikes, hanger puller, manual and hydraulic pole saw, spikes. - Sprayer applicators, pump sprayer, herbicide applicators, fuel, cones, signs - Tablets and communication devices Note the Spanish posting duplicate includes similar content but we will ignore duplicate.
