Traffic Signals Maintenance Specialist
for each section.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. Must not create placeholder sections.
We need to include the content from the posting, but we can condense into lists where appropriate, but must preserve all info. However we cannot invent or summarize away detail; we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Means we should not leave out details; we can rephrase but must keep all info. Probably we can copy sentences.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we must drop the "Recruitment Process" section (application instructions). Also drop "Physical Demands", "Environmental Elements", "Working Conditions"? Those are substantive? They are part of job description; they are not boilerplate. Should we keep? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Physical demands etc are not boilerplate; they are part of job description. So we should keep them. However we need to decide sections: maybe "Physical Demands", "Environmental Elements", "Working Conditions". Are those considered sections? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Not Physical Demands etc. So we cannot create headings not in list. The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples, but likely only those headings allowed? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It may be that we should only use those headings; we shouldn't create other headings. So we need to map content into those allowed sections. If content doesn't fit, maybe we omit? But we must preserve all substantive info. Could we put physical demands under "Requirements" or "Qualifications"? Possibly under "Requirements". But the instruction says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we need to decide which sections have content.
We have content for About the role (first paragraph). Responsibilities (Typical Duties). Requirements (Minimum Qualifications, Licenses and Certifications, Knowledge and Abilities). Skills (The Ideal Candidate Will Be Skilled In The Following). Qualifications maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we could combine. However we must not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section maybe "Requirements". Or we could have "Requirements" and "Qualifications" both if they have distinct content. But to avoid many thin sections, we could merge.
We also have "Knowledge and Abilities" which is like requirements.
We also have "Physical Demands", "Environmental Elements", "Working Conditions". Those could be part of "Requirements" as well (physical requirements). But the allowed headings don't include those; we could incorporate them into Requirements.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Not present.
Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills.
We need to ensure we include all substantive info from the posting, not missing any.
Let's extract content.
