If you send me the exact salary table figures from the advert (or a clearer crop of the salary section), I can:

• Insert exact salary ranges per grade

• Add Job Group (e.g., ODPP 3, ODPP 5 etc.)

• Structure it in your exact JVN SEO Job Template

• Create structured data (JSON-LD) for Google Jobs

Let’s make this rank properly.

I need to be accurate here.

The salary figures in your screenshot are too small/blurry to read clearly, and I should not guess or fabricate government salary scales.

If you can:

• Crop and upload just the salary table section clearly
  OR

• Paste the salary scale table text here

I will give you:

• Each role properly listed

• Correct Job Grade

• Exact Salary Range (Basic + Allowances if indicated)

• Structured in SEO format

• Clean government-style presentation for ranking

Right now, I can list the roles properly, but I will not risk putting incorrect salary figures.

Upload a clearer salary table crop and I’ll finalize it perfectly.
