Okay, I need to rewrite this job post to make it look professional and natural, keeping the language simple and the format clean. Let me start by understanding the original content.

First, I’ll extract the key sections: job number, department, position type, location, closing date, role clarification, key responsibilities, minimum requirements, and application instructions.

I notice some inconsistencies in formatting, like random line breaks and unclear section headings. I’ll organize these into clear, labeled sections. Also, the original uses some technical terms and has a bit of a cluttered look. I’ll simplify the language and ensure each part flows logically.

For the role clarification, I’ll make the vision and mission statements more concise. The key responsibilities can be turned into bullet points for better readability. The minimum requirements should be split into qualifications and skills, maybe with bullet points too.

I should also make sure the disclaimer is clearly separated but still included. The application instructions need to be straightforward.

I’ll avoid any unnecessary HTML tags as requested, sticking to simple formatting like bold headers and bullet points. Let me make sure everything is in plain English and easy to follow.

Double-checking to ensure all the essential information from the original is included and presented in a more polished way. Alright, time to put it all together neatly.
