We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Department: Campus Planning & Facilities Management - Utilities and Energy - Classification: Co-Generation Engineer - Appointment Type and Duration: Regular, Ongoing - Salary: $40.03 - $61.37 per hour - FTE: 1.0 - Review of Applications Begins August 6, 2026; open until filled - Special Instructions to Applicants (application instructions) - we should remove application instructions per rule: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop the special instructions about submitting application, resume, etc. Also contact email? Probably part of application instructions, remove. - Department Summary: description of CPFM, Utilities and Energy, assets, etc. This is substantive. - Position Summary: details about role, duties, responsibilities, etc. - Work Schedule: details about shifts, trial period, etc. - Guidelines: compliance, driver certification. - Minimum Requirements: Boiler and Turbine Operator apprenticeship or equivalent, valid Oregon driver's license. - Professional Competencies: list of abilities. - Preferred Qualifications: list. - FLSA Exempt: No - Benefits: mention robust benefits package (health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off). This is substantive enough for Benefits section. - Pay: Salary range given. - Schedule: Work schedule details. We need to create sections: About the role (maybe department summary + position summary?), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum requirements), Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications?), Skills (professional competencies), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add a heading for "Co-Generation Engineer". Use headings only for sections. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not create sections if no real specific content. All sections we plan have content. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from department summary, position summary, work schedule, guidelines, minimum requirements, professional competencies, preferred qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule. We must not include application instructions, EEO boilerplate, etc. We need to format using

for section headings,
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide what constitutes a list. For responsibilities, we can extract bullet-like sentences from position summary. Could format as

    • each duty. Similarly for requirements (minimum requirements) maybe a list. Qualifications (preferred qualifications) list. Skills (professional competencies) list. Benefits: mention health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off. Could be list. Pay: just a paragraph with salary range. Schedule: paragraph describing shifts. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's extract substantive content.

We need to avoid duplication: The department summary and position summary both contain info about assets etc. We'll keep both.
