We need to produce HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to extract content from posting.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, E-Verify notices, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting:
Company Overview: description about Walker-Miller Energy Services. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Company Overview" is about company, not role. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. "About the role" likely corresponds to Position Summary. "Responsibilities" corresponds to Essential Responsibilities. "Requirements" maybe Minimum Qualifications? "Qualifications" maybe Preferred Qualifications? "Skills" maybe list of skills? "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule" only if present. The posting does not mention benefits, pay, schedule explicitly. It mentions Physical Demands and Work Environment, travel up to 25%, location, etc. Those could be considered under maybe "Schedule"? Not exactly. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. So we should omit those sections if not present.
Thus we will have sections: About the role (Position Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe list of skills from Minimum/Preferred? Could combine). But we need to decide.
The posting includes under Minimum Qualifications a list of qualifications (education, years experience, etc). Under Preferred Qualifications: Advanced Degree, Licenses & Certifications (Valid Driver’s License, CEM, PMP, Six Sigma Greenbelt). Also there is a list of skills: "Strategic, hands-on leadership with exceptional organizational, communications, and people management skills." etc. Those could go under Skills.

We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each bullet point as list items.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to remove duplicated lines. There's a line: "Essential Responsibilities: This list of responsibilities is not all-inclusive and may be expanded to include other duties and responsibilities, as management may deem necessary from time to time." That's prose; we can keep as a
before the list.
We need to remove EEO etc. Also remove "Note: Reasonable accommodations may be made..." maybe keep? It's about physical demands? It's a note about accommodations; could be considered part of Physical Demands and Work Environment. Might keep as part of that section? But we don't have a section for Physical Demands; we could incorporate into Responsibilities? Not appropriate. Perhaps we can create a section "Work Environment" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should map all content into those categories. Physical Demands and Work Environment could go under maybe "Responsibilities"? Not really. Could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can put it under "About the role" as a paragraph? Or under "Skills"? Not ideal.
Better: we could treat "Physical Demands and Work Environment" as part of "About the role" (description of role). Or we could create a separate section with heading "Work Environment" but that's not in the list; risk of being considered not following instruction. The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. But later: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we can create any heading as long as it's meaningful. However they gave examples; we can still use other headings if appropriate. But to be safe, we could map Physical Demands and Work Environment under "About the role" as a paragraph.
Also "Willingness to travel up to 25%, including overnight travel" and "Position located in the greater Detroit or Chicagoland area" could be part of About the role.
Now we need to produce HTML fragment.
Let's extract content:
Company Overview: "Founded in 2000, Walker-Miller Energy Services is a core-values driven company committed to changing lives through energy efficiency. We create and manage customized energy waste reduction programs that help electric and gas utilities meet mandated energy savings goals. Our experience driven philosophy of energy efficiency as economic development helps families and businesses save energy and save money. Through innovative, inclusive initiatives, we help build communities by creating local jobs, producing equitable energy savings for all rate payers, and spurring the growth of diverse local businesses. Our operating philosophy is reflected in our core values. We refer to them as BEHIVE: B - Boldly Go E- Embrace Equity H - Humble Confidence I - Inclusive Stewardship V - Value Reputation E - Extraordinary Experience"
That's substantive; could be part of About the role? Actually About the role is more about the position. But we could include company overview as part of About the role? Might be okay.
Position Summary: "The Vice President of Energy Efficiency provides leadership and operational oversight for the company's portfolio of energy efficiency (EE) programs. Reporting to the Executive Vice President of Operations & Business Development, this role is responsible for program strategy, client satisfaction, financial performance, and achievement of contractual energy savings and performance metrics across multiple utility clients and territories. The Vice President leads the EE program delivery and Engineering teams responsible for program design, implementation, technical compliance, and delivery excellence. This role also serves as a key executive partner to clients and key partners, oversees the successful launch of new programs and territories, and collaborates with Business Development to support growth, rebid, and new contract opportunities. Success in this role is measured by client retention and growth, portfolio profitability, operational excellence, client goal achievement, and the development of high-performing teams."
That's prose.
Essential Responsibilities: list of responsibilities (many). We'll need to put each as
- .
Minimum Qualifications: list.
Preferred Qualifications: list.
Skills: we can extract from Minimum/Preferred: "Strategic, hands-on leadership with exceptional organizational, communications, and people management skills." etc. Also "Demonstrated ability to communicate, present and influence credibly and effectively at all levels of the organization, including executive and C-level." etc. Also "Excellent listening, negotiation, and presentation skills." etc. Also "Self-motivated and able to thrive in a results-driven environment." etc. Also "Excellent critical thinking and problem-solving skills." etc. Also "Experience with Microsoft Office Suite." etc.
We could combine these into a Skills section as list.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. We'll need to be careful not to duplicate.
Let's extract each piece.
Company Overview paragraph(s): We'll keep as
.
Position Summary:
.
Essential Responsibilities: we have a preamble sentence: "Essential Responsibilities: This list of responsibilities is not all-inclusive and may be expanded to include other duties and responsibilities, as management may deem necessary from time to time." That's prose; then list items.
We'll produce
Responsibilities
then Essential Responsibilities: This list of responsibilities is not all-inclusive and may be expanded to include other duties and responsibilities, as management may deem necessary from time to time.
then with items.

We need to turn each into list items under Requirements heading.
But note some of these are also skills; we might duplicate if we also put them under Skills. To avoid duplication, we could put all these under Requirements (minimum qualifications) and then Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications heading. Skills could be derived from those but we might not need separate Skills section if we already covered. However instruction says use head
