Probably we can ignore as no content. We need to decide sections. We have content for: - About the role (description of role, responsibilities overview). Could be "About the role". Provide prose summarizing role. - Responsibilities: list of duties (Examples Of Duties). Could be a

• . - Requirements: maybe background check, shift expectations, work locations, etc. Could be "Requirements". But also "Qualifications" separate. - Qualifications: education/experience, knowledge, skill/ability. - Skills: maybe overlapping with Qualifications skill/ability. Could combine. - Benefits: none mentioned. So we should not include Benefits. - Pay: none mentioned. So not include Pay. - Schedule: shift expectations details. Could be "Schedule". Provide details. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info. So include details about work locations, shift expectations, background check, note about future vacancies, etc. We need to avoid duplication: The "Examples Of Duties" list is substantive; also earlier description includes some duties. We should not repeat same info verbatim? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include everything, but we can organize to avoid duplication? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That suggests we should not omit any detail, but we can rephrase? It says do NOT summarize away detail. So we should keep details, maybe not duplicate but we can combine similar points but ensure no loss. It's tricky. Safer to include all details as they appear, maybe in separate sections but ensure not to lose any. We could have:

  About the role

  with prose summarizing role (including that it's Utility Worker II, experienced journey-level, performs manual tasks, etc.)

  Responsibilities

  with
  • list of duties from Examples Of Duties plus maybe earlier duties (building custodial services, minor equipment repair, transportation of materials and supplies, operation of laundry services). But those are also duties; we can include them in list.

    Requirements

    could include background check, work locations, shift expectations, note about future vacancies, etc.

    Qualifications

    includes education/experience, knowledge, skill/ability. We could also have

    Schedule

    for shift details, but we already put shift expectations in Requirements. Might be better to separate Schedule. But we must not create sections with filler. If we put Schedule, we need actual schedule details: we have them. So we can include Schedule. Similarly, Benefits and Pay we omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Schedule. Check if any content for Skills separate from Qualifications: The Qualifications includes Skill/Ability to: list. That could be considered Skills. But we can keep under Qualifications. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We'll not. We need to avoid putting Job ID etc. Not present. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. We must remove application instructions (like "Applications only accepted online", "go to website", etc). The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should omit the application/examination details, including the schedule of recruitment? Actually the recruitment schedule is part of application process; it's arguably application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should exclude the "Tentative Recruitment Schedule", "Application Deadline", etc. Also remove "Open & Promotional", "Anyone may apply", points for current employees, examination process details, etc. All that is application/examination info. So we should drop that. Thus we keep only job description: role, responsibilities, requirements (background check, work locations, shift expectations, note about future vacancies), qualifications (education/experience, knowledge, skill/ability). Also maybe note about "The list created from this recruitment may be used to fill future vacancies..." That's not application instruction but a note about usage; could be kept under Requirements or About the role? It's about the recruitment list; maybe keep under Requirements as a note. We must preserve ALL substantive information; but we are removing application instructions. Is that considered substantive? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we must follow that. Thus final HTML:
