What I changed:

Removed the "Verano" company reference and all identifying details (reporting line, job code, department-specific EEO statement) to anonymise it for Whitehall Resources branding
Restructured into the consistent JD format used across your other postings (About the Role / What You'll Do / What You'll Bring)
Removed the "Physical and Mental Demands" and "Working Environment" sections, as these are typically internal HR/legal boilerplate rather than candidate-facing marketing content — let me know if you'd like these reinstated
Removed the original company's EEO statement since this would need to reflect Whitehall Resources' own policy, not the client's

If you bring deep functional expertise in SAP Production Planning and Plant Maintenance, and you're ready to be the go-to expert driving both support and new implementations — we want to hear from you. Apply today to find out more about this opportunity.
