Water Distribution Manager
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarized away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove application instructions (like "Join Our Team", "Apply", etc). Also remove duplicated lines. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule must be included only if posting actually states them. The posting includes "Schedule: Monday - Friday 7:30am until 4:00pm." and "$95,000 - $105,000 a year Depending On Qualifications And Experience." So we can include Pay and Schedule sections. We need sections: About the role (maybe intro paragraph), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (What We're Looking For), Qualifications (maybe overlapping with Requirements? but we can separate: Requirements could be experience, certifications; Qualifications could be education, license; Skills could be communication etc). However we must not create thin sections; better to combine logically. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have content: About the role (first paragraph describing company and role). Responsibilities (What You'll Do list). Requirements (What We're Looking For list). Qualifications (maybe education, certification, license). Skills (communication). Benefits (What We Offer list). Pay (salary range). Schedule (hours). We must not include sections with placeholder text. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Water Distribution Manager". Use headings for sections. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content precisely. About the role: The first paragraph(s) before "LEAD A TEAM THAT DELIVERS SAFE, RELIABLE WATER EVERY DAY". Actually the posting starts with description of Woodard & Curran, then "LEAD A TEAM THAT DELIVERS SAFE, RELIABLE WATER EVERY DAY We're seeking an experienced Water Distribution Manager...". So About the role could be that introductory paragraph describing the role and company. We'll capture: "Woodard & Curran is an employee-owned engineering, science, and operations firm dedicated to clean water, a safe environment, healthy communities, and happy people. We foster an inclusive, collaborative culture that supports professional growth, flexibility, and meaningful work, empowering our employees to make a lasting impact on our clients, communities, and the planet." Then maybe also the sentence "LEAD A TEAM THAT DELIVERS SAFE, RELIABLE WATER EVERY DAY We're seeking an experienced Water Distribution Manager to lead our operations and maintenance team supporting Public Water Supply District #2 / East Central Missouri in St. Charles County, Missouri. This is an exciting opportunity to oversee critical public infrastructure, lead a talented team, and make a direct impact on the communities we serve. If you're a hands-on leader who enjoys developing people, driving operational excellence, and managing large-scale water distribution systems, we'd love to hear from you." That seems like role overview. We'll include that as About the role. Responsibilities: The list under "What You'll Do:" with bullet points. We'll capture each as
