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. We must not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to parse description.
Let's extract sections:
- About the role: The description starts with "We are currently looking to add a Consulting Utility Forester/Work Planner to our team! If you are an energetic professional ..." That's about role. Could be "About the role". We'll put that as
for section headings; we can still have

then
with prose. - What We Offer: That's Benefits. So
Benefits
with list. - What You Will Do: Responsibilities. SoResponsibilities
with list (maybe sub-sections but we can flatten into list items). Could also have subheadings but we only allowed for section headings; we can still have - inside.
- What You Need To Have: Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. Could split into Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (knowledge, abilities). But we can combine into one section maybe Requirements. However we have separate headings possible: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide based on content. The posting includes "What You Need To Have" which includes education, experience, knowledge, driver's license, GIS, etc. Also "What Would Be Amazing To Have" includes certifications, bilingual, utility line clearance experience. That could be "Preferred Qualifications" or "Skills". We'll treat "What You Need To Have" as Requirements (mandatory). "What Would Be Amazing To Have" as Preferred Qualifications or Skills. We'll create sections: Requirements, Preferred Qualifications (maybe Skills). But we need to use allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for preferred? Or Skills for preferred. Let's map:
- Requirements: education, experience, driver's license, GIS, ability to work outdoors, interpersonal skills, problem solving, etc.
- Qualifications: maybe certifications like ISA Arborist, bilingual, utility line clearance experience.
- Skills: maybe knowledge of tree identification, computer applications, etc. But we already covered knowledge in Requirements. Could combine.
Better to have: Requirements (education/experience/license), Skills (knowledge, abilities), Preferred Qualifications (certifications, bilingual, utility experience). But we have only three headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We'll assign:
- Requirements: education/experience, driver's license, ability to work outdoors, etc.
- Skills: knowledge of tree identification, computer applications, GIS, interpersonal/communication, problem solving, multi-tasking, attention to detail.
- Qualifications: ISA Arborist certification, bilingual Spanish, utility line clearance/trimming experience.
We'll also include Working Environment and Physical maybe as part of Responsibilities or separate? Could be part of Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings. We could incorporate into Responsibilities as list items. The instructions: include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it. We can add a section for "Working Environment" only if we have a heading; but not in allowed list. So we must not create new headings. So we must fit that content under existing headings, maybe under Responsibilities or maybe under a paragraph.
We can add a paragraph after Responsibilities describing working environment. Or we can add list items under Responsibilities for "Work outdoors in various weather conditions", etc.
Similarly Physical demands can be under Responsibilities.
We must preserve all substantive information; we cannot drop details. So we need to embed those details somewhere.
Let's extract all substantive bullets:
From "What You Will Do":
- Pre-Patrol Preparation: Organize records, maps, and paperwork for patrol circuits; maintain accurate documentation.

From "Working Environment": (long paragraph). We'll need to embed details.
From "Physical": (long paragraph). We'll embed details.
From "Company Overview": Could be part of About the role or separate? Could be a paragraph about company.
From "Applicants must pass a pre-employment drug test and a criminal background check." etc. That's boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a requirement. Might be considered substantive. We should keep it maybe under Requirements.
Also "All candidates must possess a valid driver's license and have a good driving record." Already covered.
"AMS is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer." That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove.
"Important Information For Applicants" includes Asplundh Tree Expert, LLC etc. That's boilerplate; remove.
Thus we need to produce HTML with sections:
