That's also part of summary; could be included in About the role or Responsibilities. We'll treat as part of About the role.
- Duties & Responsibilities: a long list of duties. We'll put under Responsibilities
with - items.
- Supervisory Responsibilities: bullet about being individual contributor without supervisory responsibilities. Could be part of Responsibilities or separate? It's a bullet; we can include as list item under Responsibilities.
- Required Skills & Abilities: list of abilities. Could be under Skills or Requirements. The spec says we have sections Skills, Requirements, Qualifications. We need to decide where to put each.
Education & Work Experience: "High School diploma or equivalent, required. Must possess and maintain a class D driver’s license with medical card. Successful completion of required testing." That's qualifications/requirements.
Physical Requirements: list of physical abilities. That's also requirements.
WORK CONTEXT: full-time non-exempt hourly position, expected to respond to emergencies, working Extended Day and Callout Overtime as needed, including after hours, weekends, and holidays. Position will be required to report to the assigned City Plant. SAFETY SENSITIVE: random drug testing per DOT.
That's schedule/context info. Could be under Schedule (if we have schedule info) or Benefits? Not benefits. Schedule: we have full-time non-exempt hourly, overtime etc. That's schedule info. So we can create a Schedule section.
Benefits: none mentioned. Pay: none mentioned. So we omit those.
Qualifications: maybe combine Education & Work Experience and Physical Requirements? But we have a Requirements section; we can put education, license, testing, physical requirements under Requirements.
Skills: we have Required Skills & Abilities list.
Thus sections:
- About the role (intro + position summary)
- Responsibilities (duties & responsibilities + supervisory responsibilities)
- Skills (Required Skills & Abilities)
- Requirements (Education & Work Experience, Physical Requirements)
- Schedule (Work Context, Safety Sensitive)
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. There's some repeated content: after the job description there is a block about "We are people of deep and strong faith..." That's company culture/mission. That's also substantive; we could include in About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the company". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put that under About the role as well.
We also have "Information at a Glance Apply now Requisition Id: 1116 Company Name: Hope Gas Inc. City & State: Fairmont, WV Department: C&M Employment Category: Union Posting Start Date: 9/18/26 Utilityperson". That's metadata; we should drop or fold into short p. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include a short paragraph with location and maybe department. But we already have About the role; we could add a p with location etc. However we must not repeat job title as heading. It's okay to have a p.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
