We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job description. We have sections: "Your Impact" (list of duties). That's responsibilities. "Who You Are" includes "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". That's qualifications/requirements. Also there is "Benefits:" section. Also "Compensation Expected Salary (all locations): $33.32 - $45.82". That's pay. There's no schedule. There's no explicit "Skills" separate but could be part of qualifications. We can include a Skills section if we have specific skill list; but we can combine into Qualifications. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe combine Required and Preferred), Benefits, Pay. Possibly also "About the role" but we already have description at top; but we shouldn't repeat job title as heading. Could include an "About the role" paragraph summarizing the opportunity? The top says "Job Description This Opportunity WSP is currently seeking a Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Technician..." That's basically about the role. Could be a paragraph under an

About the role

. But we need to avoid filler. It's substantive. So include About the role. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove navigation etc. The "About WSP" section is boilerplate about company; we can drop as not required? It's not specifically requested; but we could include if it's substantive? It's generic; maybe drop. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About WSP" is not exactly boilerplate but it's generic company description; could be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to drop it as it's not specific to the role. The "Are you ready to get started?" etc is also boilerplate. So we will exclude. Thus sections:

About the role

... (the description of opportunity)

Responsibilities

  • ... list each duty from "Your Impact"

Qualifications

maybe split into Required and Preferred? Could have two subsections but we can combine into one
    with both required and preferred? Better to separate:

    Required Qualifications

    and

    Preferred Qualifications

    . Both are headings; allowed? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It lists "Qualifications" as a possible heading, not Required/Preferred. But we can still use

    for Required Qualifications as a subsection? Might be considered extra heading not in list but still okay? Safer to follow the given examples: we can have a single Qualifications section and include both required and preferred items in the list, maybe marking them. But we risk losing distinction. However we can still include both as separate

    headings; they are still section headings. The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. So we can use Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We also need Skills section? Could embed within Qualifications. Benefits: we have a Benefits paragraph. Pay: we have compensation range. Schedule: none, so omit. Now we need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties listed under "Your Impact". Let's extract them: - Perform reconnaissance, identification, and classification of unexploded ordnance (UXO), including U.S. and foreign missiles, bombs, projectiles, grenades, rockets, land mines, pyrotechnics, military explosives, demolition materials, and associated fuzing systems. - Conduct subsurface UXO investigations utilizing magnetometers and other approved detection equipment. - Perform excavation and recovery of buried UXO using manual and mechanical methods. - Locate and identify surface UXO through visual inspection and field reconnaissance activities. - Establish and maintain safe holding areas for recovered UXO. - Perform storage, accountability, and handling of UXO and demolition materials in accordance with applicable requirements. - Prepare UXO disposal sites and support demolition operations. - Assemble and prepare non-electric, electric, and detonating cord firing systems for UXO disposal activities. - Conduct disposal of UXO and explosive materials through approved burn or detonation methods. - Adhere to all site-specific health and safety requirements, explosive safety standards, and project procedures. - Support technical documentation, field reporting, and operational data collection efforts. Now Required Qualifications list: - Meet the qualifications and perform the functions of a UXO Technician II (UXO-TII) as defined in DoD Explosives Safety Board Technical Paper 18. - Minimum 3 years of EOD/UXO experience, including significant experience supporting munitions response actions and/or range clearance activities. - Current 40-Hour HAZWOPER certification with annual refresher training. - Demonstrated experience recognizing munitions and explosives of concern (MEC), particularly unexploded ordnance (UXO). - Knowledge of explosive safety procedures and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE). - Ability to work safely in remote field environments and under varying weather conditions. - Strong communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. - Ability to travel and support field assignments as required. - Due to client requirements, US citizenship is required. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience supporting Department of Defense (DoD) or other federal UXO remediation projects. - Familiarity with magnetometer operations and geophysical investigation methods. - Experience supporting demolition and disposal operations. - Previous experience working within an Explosive Safety Program. - Current explosives safety and UXO-related certifications beyond minimum requirements. Benefits paragraph: "WSP provides a comprehensive suite of benefits focused on providing health and financial stability throughout the employee’s career. These benefits include coverage related to medical, dental, vision, disability, and life; retirement savings; paid sick leave; paid vacation (or other personal time); paid parental leave; and paid time off for purposes of bereavement, voting, and/or attendance at naturalization proceedings." Compensation: "Expected Salary (all locations): $33.32 - $45.82 WSP USA is providing the compensation range that the company in good faith believes it might pay and offer for this position, based on the successful applicant’s education, experience, knowledge, skills, abilities in addition to internal equity and specific geographic location. WSP USA reserves the right to ultimately pay more or less than the posted range and offer additional benefits and other compensation, depending on circumstances not related to an applicant’s sex or other status protected by local, state, and/or federal law." We need to keep all substantive info; we can condense but not lose detail. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep the sentences as is, maybe just copy them. However we can format as

    for prose. For benefits and compensation we can keep the paragraphs. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The "About WSP" and following paragraphs are boilerplate; we should drop them. Now produce HTML fragment:
