We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. From posting: - About the role: The first paragraph describing role: "Hamlett Environmental Technologies, a Ferguson Company is now seeking a Water & Wastewater Aftermarket & Plant Solutions Specialist (aka MRO Sales Representative) in our Waterworks Process Solutions Division to fill an immediate need with growing market opportunities for water & wastewater process equipment.

We can put that as About the role. - Responsibilities: bullet list of duties. The posting has a paragraph starting "Responsibilities" then a list of duties separated by line breaks?

(e.g. factory visits to principal manufacturers, industry events). Initial training period will require regular weekly time in Howell, MI office location. Length of this training period will vary based on individual experience, qualifications, and ramp up time." That's more about schedule/travel. Could be Schedule section. We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove those. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

    for sections. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must preserve all substantive info. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft sections:

      or

        . Probably

        . Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. Now produce HTML. Check for any repeated content: ensure we didn't miss any substantive info like "Since 1953, Ferguson has been a source..." that's boilerplate about company history; we can drop as it's not specific to role?
