Job Description

We need to output clean semantic HTML with

,

,
  • . No divs, no classes, no inline styles, no
    . Must preserve all original content word-for-word. Need to parse the raw text and produce HTML accordingly. We have a job description with many sections: "Job Description :" then paragraphs about Supply Chain & Manufacturing, then "Functions": then paragraphs, then "Context/Scope:" then paragraphs about EABL, then "Purpose of Role:", then paragraphs, then "Role Dimensions", then subheadings "Market/Function Complexity", then paragraphs, then "Financial Accountability (Budget/Revenue)", then paragraphs, then "Leadership Responsibilities" with ul list, then "Top Accountabilities:" with subheadings "Maintain a safe and healthy working environment." with ul, "Optimize Production Performance and Processes" with ul, "Perform Administration Duties" with ul, "People and Capability Roles" with ul, then "Qualifications:" with ul, then "Skills and Experience:" with paragraphs and ul lists, then later "Worker Type :" with "Regular", then "Primary Location:" (but cut off). The text ends abruptly: "Primary Location:..." incomplete. We must preserve all content word-for-word, even if incomplete. So we need to output exactly the same text but wrapped in appropriate tags. We must not add or remove any content. So we need to keep the exact wording, including any stray spaces, punctuation, line breaks? The instruction: preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. So we must output the same characters, but we can wrap them in HTML tags. However we cannot add extra text. We can insert tags around existing text, but we must not alter the text itself. So we need to decide where to place tags. We need to use

    for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). The given text includes headers like "Job Description :", "Functions", "Context/Scope:", "Purpose of Role:", "Role Dimensions", "Market/Function Complexity", "Financial Accountability (Budget/Revenue)", "Leadership Responsibilities", "Top Accountabilities:", then subheadings like "Maintain a safe and healthy working environment.", "Optimize Production Performance and Processes", "Perform Administration Duties", "People and Capability Roles", "Qualifications:", "Skills and Experience:", "Worker Type :", "Primary Location:". We should treat each of these as section headers and wrap them in

    . However some are followed by colon or punctuation; we keep them as is. Paragraphs: any text that is not a header nor list item should be wrapped in

    . List items: we have

    • already present in the original text (the original includes
      • tags). We must preserve them exactly, but we cannot have
        etc. The original includes
        • inside
          etc. We need to remove
          tags because we cannot use
          . But we must preserve the content word-for-word; removing
          would be removing content. However the instruction says: "No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
          s, no
          tags". So we must not output
          tags. But we also must preserve all original content word-for-word. This is contradictory: if we remove
          we are not preserving original content. However likely the intention is to strip out the extraneous markup and produce clean HTML, preserving the textual content but not the original tags. The phrase "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase" likely refers to the textual content, not the markup. Since we are converting to HTML, we can discard the original markup (,
          , etc.) as long as we keep the text. So we should extract the plain text and then wrap appropriately. Thus we need to parse the raw text, ignore all tags, keep the text, and then output with

          for headings and

          for paragraphs,

          • for lists. We must also preserve any special characters like & etc. The original includes "&" which is HTML entity for &. We should keep it as is. We need to produce final HTML. Let's extract the plain text from the given snippet. I'll copy the text and manually extract. Given the massive nested spans, but we can read the visible text. Start: After the initial junk, we see:

            ...Job Description :

            So text: "Job Description :" Then after that, there is a

            with Functions: then a div with paragraphs. Let's extract sequentially. I'll rewrite the text as it appears ignoring tags. I'll go through the provided snippet: ```
