Okay, so the user wants me to normalize a job description into a concise mini-job profile for job matching. Let's start by breaking down what they need.
First, I need to extract the key elements: job title, role summary, expectations, key responsibilities, required skills, education, and certifications. They specified to exclude company details, location, benefits, and fluff. Important to keep it factual, concise, ATS-friendly, and globally neutral. Also, the output should be in English, max 500 words.
Looking at the job title: "Actemium Automation Huddersfield - Senior Software Controls Engineer". The user probably just wants "Senior Software Controls Engineer" as the title without the company and location.
Next, the role summary should summarize the position. The job description mentions designing, developing, and supporting PLC and SCADA software solutions for industrial automation projects. I need to condense that into a one-liner. Maybe something like leading software design and development for PLC and SCADA systems in industrial automation.
Expectations would include the requirements. The job requires hands-on experience with PLC platforms (Mitsubishi, Schneider Electric) and SCADA/HMI packages. Also, experience in commissioning, technical documentation, mentorship, and relevant qualifications.
Key responsibilities should list the main duties. The original job posting lists leading software design, creating architecture, developing code, supporting commissioning, integrating systems, technical documentation, mentoring, and ensuring compliance. I need to present these in bullet points or list format but the user example uses colons. Let me check the example they provided in the query. In their sample response, they used colons with each section having 2-3 points. So maybe bullet points here but in a concise manner without markdown.
Required skills would include PLC and SCADA experience, industrial communications, troubleshooting, documentation, mentorship, etc. Education would be electrical or control engineering qualification. Certifications might be SIL/ISA if applicable, but the user excluded benefits and fluff. The job description says "Relevant electrical or control engineering qualification and full UK driving licence." So the driving license is probably not applicable globally, but since the user wants globally neutral, maybe mention the engineering qualification but exclude the driving license.
Let me check the user's instructions again: "globally neutral". So maybe omit UK-specific requirements unless they are essential. However, the driving license is a requirement here. Hmm, but how to handle that? The user said to exclude location, benefits. Maybe the UK driving license is considered a benefit or fluff? Wait, the job description lists it under "What You’ll Bring" as "Relevant electrical or control engineering qualification and full UK driving licence." So perhaps the driving license is a required skill for this role. Since the user wants the output to be globally neutral, maybe it's better to keep only the engineering qualification and omit the UK license, as it's location-specific. Alternatively, if the user considers it part of required education or skills, but the user says to exclude location. Let me check the example they provided in the query's expected answer. In the example under "Required Skills" there's "Full UK driving licence" included. Wait, but the user wants globally neutral. Hmm. The example they provided in the problem says to exclude location, benefits. Wait, their instruction says "globally neutral", so maybe the driving license is not globally relevant. The user's example includes it, but maybe they want it excluded? I need to follow the user's instruction: "Keep it factual, concise, ATS-friendly, and globally neutral." So perhaps the UK driving license is a local requirement and should be omitted for global neutrality. Let me confirm: in the original job description, the location is Huddersfield, UK. Since the user wants to exclude location, maybe the driving license is part of that. So I should exclude it. The required education would be the engineering qualification. The driving license would be under location-specific, so excluded.
Education and certifications: "Relevant electrical or control engineering qualification and full UK driving licence." So in the normalized version, only the engineering qualification is needed. The driving license is omitted for global neutrality. Also, certifications: The job mentions "company and industry standards (SIL/ISA where applicable)" so maybe include SIL/ISA certifications as required?
Wait, the user says to include "Required Education & Certifications". So for education, it's a relevant qualification. For certifications, perhaps the SIL/ISA standards are applicable. However, the original job description under "Key Responsibilities" says "following company and industry standards (SIL/ISA where applicable)." But under "What You’ll Bring" it says "Relevant electrical or control engineering qualification and full UK driving licence."
So the required education is the engineering qualification. Required certifications would be SIL/ISA, if necessary. However, the job says "where applicable," so maybe they're optional. Hmm. The user wants required certifications. If the job lists experience following SIL/ISA standards, but not required for certification, then maybe certifications aren't required. So perhaps in the Required Education & Certifications, only the engineering qualification is required. Certifications may be beneficial but not required.
Putting it all together:
Job Title: Senior Software Controls Engineer
Role Summary: Lead design, development, and support of PLC and SCADA software solutions for industrial automation projects across manufacturing and process sectors.
Expectations: Proven experience in PLC/SCADA engineering, lead role experience, technical mentorship, and collaboration across teams.
Key Responsibilities: Design/develop PLC (Mitsubishi, Schneider Electric) and SCADA/HMI systems; create architecture, specifications, and documentation; support commissioning and troubleshooting; integrate with field devices and systems; mentor junior engineers.
Required Skills: PLC platforms (Mitsubishi, Schneider Electric), SCADA/HMI (Wonderware, Ignition, WinCC, FactoryTalk), industrial communications (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus), control theory, system commissioning/troubleshooting, technical documentation.
Education: Relevant electrical or control engineering qualification.
Certifications: N/A (if not specified as required). But if SIL/ISA standards are considered, maybe list if applicable. The job says "following company and industry standards (SIL/ISA where applicable)". Since it's not a required certification but following standards, maybe omit. So no certifications listed unless mentioned explicitly.
Wait, the user's example in their query shows an example where the original job mentions "Relevant electrical or control engineering qualification and full UK driving licence," and the output has "Relevant electrical or control engineering qualification" under Education. The driving license is omitted because it's location-specific, as per the user instruction.
So in the normalized version, we should include the education part but exclude the driving license.
Putting it all into the required sections without markdown:
Job Title: Senior Software Controls Engineer
Role Summary: Lead design, development, and support of PLC and SCADA software solutions for industrial automation projects across manufacturing and process sectors.

- Technical documentation and detail-oriented
Education & Certifications:
- Degree in Electrical or Control Engineering
- Proficiency in industry standards (SIL/ISA) preferred
Wait, the user said "Required Education & Certifications" so under education, it's the degree. Certifications may include if required. Since the job didn't mention required certifications but mentions following SIL/ISA standards, maybe list SIL/ISA as certifications preferred but not required. However, the user wants "Required" so maybe omit. The original job says "following company and industry standards (SIL/ISA where applicable)." So perhaps not required, just preferred. So under Required Education: "Relevant electrical or control engineering qualification." Under Certifications: leave it blank or mention "SIL/ISA standards knowledge" but the user might not count that as a certification. Alternatively, maybe not include.
So finalizing:
