Assistant Project Officer (Clerk of Works)-Water and Construction (Open to local residents of Baringo County only)

Here's a thinking process: 1. **Analyze User Input:** - User is acting as a job listing editor. - I receive raw scraped text from a job website. - My job: extract ONLY actual job information, return clean, readable format. - Must REMOVE: social sharing text, author bylines, "you may also like", navigation, comments, ads/promotions, cookie/subscription notices, duplicate text, category labels not part of job, stray numbers/formatting artifacts. - Must KEEP and STRUCTURE: job title, company/organisation, location, job description/responsibilities, requirements/qualifications, how to apply, salary (if mentioned), deadline/closing date, job ID/reference number, contract type/level. - Return ONLY the cleaned job text. No commentary, headers like "Here is the cleaned version", or markdown formatting. Just the clean job listing text. Wait, the user actually gives me a specific task in the second part: "You receive a plain-text job description. Your ONLY job is to format it as clean semantic HTML." Then there are rules: - Use

for introductory paragraphs and general text - Use

for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role) - Use

• for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills) - No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
  s, no
  tags - Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase - If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in

  tags - Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble. Then they provide the job description text. So I need to take the provided job description text, clean it according to the rules (but the rules here are about HTML formatting, not the earlier "remove social sharing etc." - though they might overlap, the primary task now is: format as clean semantic HTML using the specified tags, preserve all content word-for-word, no classes/styles/divs/br tags). Let me re-read carefully. The user says: "You receive a plain-text job description. Your ONLY job is to format it as clean semantic HTML." Then rules. Then "Job description:" followed by the text. I need to output ONLY the HTML, no markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble. Let's look at the job description text: ```
