We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also must not include sections with placeholder/filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting mentions benefits: "These positions offer excellent benefits, opportunities for career development, and reimbursement for CDL renewals." Also later: "Total Compensation As a State employee you are offered a great career opportunity, but it's more than a paycheck. The State's total compensation package features an outstanding set of employee benefits that are worth about 30% of your total compensation, including: ..." So we have benefits details. Pay: "Although the full salary range for this position is provided, new hires are typically made at the salary range minimum." It mentions salary range provided but not actual numbers. It says full salary range is provided but not given in text. We don't have actual numbers, so we cannot create Pay section because no specific numbers. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits we have specifics, so we can include Benefits. Pay we don't have actual numbers, just statement about salary range provided but not given. That's not specific content, so we should not include Pay. Schedule: mentions overtime may be required, considerable overtime work required particularly during winter months, considered condition of employment. Also "An incumbent must be available for considerable overtime during heavy snowfall or other emergencies." Also "Employees may be required to report to work outside of their work schedule/ area and must be reachable by phone." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with those details. Now sections: About the role (overview). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills maybe not explicit; we could combine. But we should only include sections with real specific content. Let's map: - About the role: The overview paragraph: "The Agency of Transportation is seeking a Transportation Operations Technician II. This position is responsible for various tasks related to highway maintenance, such as repairing guardrails, cutting trees/brush, patching roads, picking litter, ditching, and more. In the winter months, this position will also assist with plowing and salting, and overtime may be required. Additionally, this position may assist in vehicle and equipment maintenance." That's about role. - Responsibilities: Could list duties: repairing guardrails, cutting trees/brush, patching roads, picking litter, ditching, plowing and salting (winter), vehicle and equipment maintenance, etc. Also maybe "assist with plowing and salting". Also "overtime may be required". But overtime is more schedule. We'll keep responsibilities as the task list. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: "One (1) year of work experience in construction, equipment operation, or related manual labor INCLUDING EITHER one season of operating a snowplow with wings OR six (6) months of operating medium or heavy equipment, such as graders, excavators, and backhoes. OR Upon successful completion of original probation as a Transportation Operations Technician I AND possession of a Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL) with tanker endorsement." - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: "High school diploma or equivalent. CDL" (maybe just CDL). Also maybe "Special Requirements" includes CDL requirements etc. But we could treat Special Requirements as part of Qualifications or Requirements. Let's see: Special Requirements: "A Class B Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is required. An incumbent must live within reasonable proximity of assigned workstation. Possession of a Class A Commercial Driver's License with Tanker Endorsement is required within the first six months of employment. An incumbent must complete all VTTC required coursework within one (1) year or be enrolled. Must be able to lift 50 lbs individually, with assistance from 51-100 lbs. Note: Non-original probationary employees must obtain a required CDL license prior to the completion of six (6) months of service in the position." These are requirements/qualifications. We could split: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications; Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications + Special Requirements (maybe as separate). But we have limited headings; we can include both Requirements and Qualifications sections. - Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we can omit. - Benefits: details from Total Compensation section: list of benefits: 80% State paid medical premium and a dental plan at no cost for employees and their families; Work/Life balance: 12 paid holidays each year and a generous leave plan; State Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FMLI); Two ways to save for retirement: A State defined benefit pension plan and a deferred compensation 457(b) plan; Tuition Reimbursement; Flexible spending healthcare and childcare reimbursement accounts; Low cost group life insurance; Incentive-based Wellness Program; Qualified Employer for Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness Program.

We'll include those. - Schedule: details: overtime may be required; considerable overtime work required particularly during winter months, considered condition of employment; An incumbent must be available for considerable overtime during heavy snowfall or other emergencies; Employees may be required to report to work outside of their work schedule/ area and must be reachable by phone.

    Schedule

Incumbents must be available for considerable overtime during heavy snowfall or other emergencies. Employees may be required to report to work outside of their regular work schedule or area and must be reachable by phone.

    Check for any leftover boilerplate: we removed EEO, application instructions, etc. Also removed "Who May Apply", "Please Note", "If you would like more information...", "Resumes will not be accepted via e-mail", "Environmental Factors" (we didn't include that; but some of that content is about schedule/requirements; we captured overtime and availability. The environmental factors also mention exposure to extreme weather, tools, hazards, drug testing. Should we include those? They are substantive info about working conditions. Could be part of Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions". But we only have allowed headings list; we could incorporate into Responsibilities or Schedule? The instructions: Use headings for those specific categories; we shouldn't invent new headings. So we need to fit that info somewhere appropriate. The environmental factors include: exposure to extreme outdoor weather, availability for overtime, report outside schedule, reachable by phone, use tools, lift materials, dangers with heavy equipment, hazardous materials, debris, blood/airborne pathogens, hazards with moving traffic, participation in random drug and alcohol testing required. Some of these are already covered (overtime, schedule). Others like exposure to extreme weather, use tools, lift materials, hazards, drug testing. We could add to Responsibilities as duties? Not exactly duties but working conditions. Could add to Requirements? Might be better to add to a section like "Requirements" but we already have that. Could add to "Qualifications"? Not ideal. Perhaps we can add a paragraph under Responsibilities about working conditions. Or we could add a new section but not allowed headings. The instruction says: Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. ...)" implying those are the allowed ones; we should stick to those. So we need to fit the environmental factors into those sections. We can add to Responsibilities a bullet about "Work in extreme outdoor weather conditions" etc. Or we can add a paragraph under Responsibilities about working conditions. Let's incorporate. Add to Responsibilities list items: "Work in extreme outdoor weather conditions", "Use tools and lift materials commonly used in maintenance work", "Exposure to hazards associated with heavy equipment, hazardous materials, debris, and moving traffic", "Possible exposure to blood or airborne pathogens", "Participation in random drug and alcohol testing program". That seems appropriate. Now ensure we didn't duplicate. Also we must not include "Although the full salary range for this position is provided, new hires are typically made at the salary range minimum." That's not specific numbers, so we
