Assistant Staff Archaeologist
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to these headings. The posting has sections: About The Opportunity (role description), What you will accomplish (responsibilities), Additional Job-Specific Responsibilities (more responsibilities), Minimum Qualifications (requirements), Experience And Qualifications For Success (qualifications), Additional Information (field time, schedule, per diem, vehicles), Other Job Conditions (travel, safety, physical demands), Pay Range (pay), Benefits (Total Rewards package). Also maybe Skills not explicit.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must include a section only when posting has real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay range is given, so include Pay section. Schedule: we have info about field time 90-100%, up to 12-hour days, 6 days a week, overtime paid time-and-a-half. That's schedule info. So include Schedule section.
Benefits: Total Rewards package includes ESOP, 401(k) with profit sharing, medical, dental, vision, paid time off, wellness programs, professional development. So include Benefits.
Skills: Not explicit; maybe we can omit Skills section if no specific skills listed. Could combine into Qualifications.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like supervising crew, field and office tasks, etc.
Let's extract content.
About The Opportunity paragraph: "SWCA Environmental Consultants is seeking an Assistant Staff Archaeologist to join our Cultural Resources team in Houston, TX. In this role, you will perform field and office tasks while working with and supervising crew members. You will supervise one crew of Archaeological Technicians during survey, site recording, or monitoring projects. You may also assist with office-based tasks, including laboratory work, the preparation of site forms, and technical reports. SWCA offers a unique work environment specializing in delivering natural and cultural resources services across Texas and the greater Gulf Coast Region. Depending upon project assignments, this role may serve as the lead for field survey crews, independently directing daily work activities, promoting safe and productive work practices, communicating project and personnel issues to management, and providing performance-related feedback in support of successful project delivery. This is a full time opportunity based out of our Houston, TX."
We can keep that as prose under About the role heading (
About the role
).
What you will accomplish: list of bullet points (each sentence ends with period). They are responsibilities. We'll put under Responsibilities
with - each.
Additional Job-Specific Responsibilities: also responsibilities; could merge under same Responsibilities section or separate? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine all responsibilities under one Responsibilities section. But we have two groups: general accomplishments and additional job-specific responsibilities. We'll combine them.
Minimum Qualifications: bullet? It's a paragraph: "Knowledge normally obtained through a bachelor's degree or higher, with demonstrated awareness and interest in one or more technical area. One year of related experience is preferred; or any equivalent combination of experience, performance, training, and/or education." We'll put under
Requirements
maybe.
Experience And Qualifications For Success: list of items: Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology, Archaeology, or related field; Completion of an accredited archaeological field school or demonstrative equivalent; Ability to travel and conduct fieldwork for long hours, sometimes in inclement weather (including high heat and humidity) and , rugged terrain, and dense vegetation. (Note there is a stray comma after "and".) Experience working in Texas, Louisiana, and the greater Gulf Coast region; Experience leading crews of field technicians on a variety of project types and sizes, regions, and agencies. We'll put under Qualifications
.
Additional Information: includes estimated time in field 90-100%; project schedules may often include up to 12-hour days, 6 days a week for extended periods; Hours worked over 40 hours per week are paid at time-and-a-half rate; Single occupancy hotels paid directly by SWCA; Per diem for full day, unless otherwise noted for specific projects; Vehicles provided for projects. This is schedule and benefits? Actually schedule info and some benefits (hotels, per diem, vehicles). We'll separate: Schedule section for schedule details; Benefits section for hotels, per diem, vehicles? But also Benefits section for Total Rewards. Could combine benefits: hotels, per diem, vehicles, plus Total Rewards. However instruction: prefer few sections. Could have Benefits section covering all benefits (including hotels, per diem, vehicles, ESOP, 401k, medical etc). Schedule section for schedule details.
Other Job Conditions: includes travel, driver license, safety, physical demands, exposure. Could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? Might be separate section like "Working Conditions". But we only have allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "Working Conditions". Could fold into Requirements or Qualifications. Probably put under Requirements (since they are conditions). But we already have Requirements for minimum qualifications. Could add another subsection? Better to keep Requirements for qualifications, and put other conditions under Qualifications? Hmm.
We could create a section "Requirements" for minimum qualifications and job conditions (travel, driver license, safety). But the instruction says use those headings as examples, not strict? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should stick to those headings. So we need to map content to those.
Thus we have:
- About the role: intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: combine "What you will accomplish" and "Additional Job-Specific Responsibilities".
- Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications + Other Job Conditions (travel, driver license, safety, physical demands). Could also include "Ability to travel and conduct fieldwork..." which is actually in Qualifications but could be requirement. We'll decide.
- Qualifications: Experience And Qualifications For Success (education, field school, experience leading crews, regional experience).
- Skills: maybe not present; we could omit Skills section if no specific skills. But we could infer skills like "GPS data collection", "technical report writing", "QA/QC", "field mapping". Those are in Additional Job-Specific Responsibilities. Could treat as skills. But we already have responsibilities covering those. Might be redundant. Safer to omit Skills section if no explicit skill list. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can omit Skills.
- Benefits: Total Rewards package + hotels, per diem, vehicles (maybe also mention per diem and vehicles). We'll include all benefits.
- Pay: Pay Range paragraph.
- Schedule: field time, hours, overtime.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Good.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Remove those.
Now craft HTML.
We'll need to wrap each section: Heading
