Auto Mechanic (Diesel)
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
- Use - for lists,
for prose
- Do NOT repeat job title as heading
- Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short
or drop
- Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
- Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
- Include section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")
- Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them
- Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones
- Output ONLY HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Now, let's map content to sections.
The posting starts with mission statement and description of Fleet Services Division and role. That could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". The selected candidate would be responsible for overhaul/repair of diesel engines and components. That's a responsibility.
Then there's "Minimum Qualifications" with Qualification Requirements and License Requirements. That's clearly "Qualifications" or "Requirements". The heading "Minimum Qualifications" is present. I'll use "Qualifications" as h3.
Then "55a Program" - this is a specific program for persons with disabilities. Could be a separate section or part of qualifications. Since it's a distinct program, maybe include as a subsection under Qualifications or separate heading. But rule says prefer few substantive sections. Could be a
under Qualifications.
"Public Service Loan Forgiveness" - informational, not a core job requirement. Could be a separate section "Benefits" or just a paragraph. The posting also mentions benefits package earlier: "The City of New York offers a comprehensive benefits package including health insurance..." That's benefits.
"Residency Requirement" - specific requirement.
"Additional Information" about equal opportunity - that's boilerplate EEO, should be removed per rule: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". So drop that.
Pay: at the end "$346.56 – $403.44" - likely hourly rate. Should include Pay section.
Schedule: not mentioned.
Skills: not explicitly listed, but qualifications cover experience.
Now, structure:
- About the role: includes mission and division description, and primary responsibility.
- Responsibilities: could be separate, but the posting only says "The selected candidate would be responsible for the overhaul/repair of diesel engines and components associated with diesel-powered vehicles." That's one duty. Could be a list with one item, or just a paragraph. Since it's a single duty, maybe include in About the role or make a Responsibilities section with a list. Rule says use
- for any list of duties. Even one item can be a list. I'll create a Responsibilities section with a list.
- Qualifications: includes Qualification Requirements and License Requirements. Both are detailed. Use sub-lists.
- Benefits: the comprehensive benefits package described.
- Pay: the rate given.
- 55a Program: could be a note under Qualifications or separate. Since it's a specific program, maybe a short section "Special Programs" or include as a paragraph under Qualifications. I'll include as a subsection under Qualifications using a
or a small heading? But rule says only h3 for section headings. Could make an h3 "Special Programs" but that might be thin. Better to include as a paragraph under Qualifications.
- Public Service Loan Forgiveness: informational, could be under Benefits or separate. Since it's a benefit, include in Benefits.
- Residency Requirement: a requirement, could be under Qualifications or separate. I'll include as a separate section "Residency Requirement" with a paragraph.
- Application instructions and job ID: remove.
- EEO boilerplate: remove.
Now, let's draft HTML.
First, About the role: combine mission and division description. The mission is about NYPD, but the role is in Fleet Services Division. I'll write a paragraph.
About the role
The New York City Police Department's mission is to enhance the quality of life in New York City by working in partnership with the community to enforce the law, preserve peace, protect the people, reduce fear, and maintain order. The NYPD strives to foster a safe and fair city by incorporating Neighborhood Policing into all facets of Department operations, and solve the problems that create crime and disorder through an interdependent relationship between the people and its police, and by pioneering strategic innovation.
The Fleet Services Division is responsible for the upkeep and/or repair of all NYPD vehicles and vehicles from other contracted agencies. The selected candidate will be responsible for the overhaul and repair of diesel engines and components associated with diesel-powered vehicles.
But the rule says use - for any list of duties. The duty is described in prose. Could make a Responsibilities section with a list.
Better: About the role describes the context, Responsibilities lists duties.

Responsibilities
- Overhaul and repair diesel engines and components associated with diesel-powered vehicles.
Now Qualifications: two parts: Qualification Requirements and License Requirements.
Qualifications
Qualification Requirements
but rule says only h3 for section headings. It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid h4, but says use h3 for section headings. Probably they want only h3 for top-level sections. Subsections could be h4 or just bold. But to keep simple, I'll use h3 for Qualifications and then use paragraphs and lists.
I'll structure:
Qualifications
Qualification Requirements:
- Five years of full-time satisfactory experience as an auto mechanic specializing in automotive diesel engine repair work; or
- Not less than two and one-half years of full-time satisfactory experience as an auto mechanic specializing in automotive diesel engine repair work plus sufficient helper or apprentice experience or relevant education acquired in a college, university, technical school, trade school or vocational high school to make up the equivalent of five years of acceptable experience.
Six months of acceptable experience will be credited for each year of helper or apprentice experience or relevant education. Less than a full year of helper or apprentice experience, or relevant education will receive prorated credit.
License Requirements:
- At the time of appointment, candidates must possess a New York State Class B Commercial Driver License (CDL) or a Motor Vehicle Driver License valid in the State of New York and a Learner's Permit for a Class B Commercial Driver License.
- Appointees hired with a Learner's Permit must obtain the Class B CDL within six months of appointment.
- The CDL, with no restrictions, must be maintained for the duration of employment.

- Certified in Light Vehicles, Group 1, and Certified in Emissions, Group D;
- Certified in Light Vehicles, Group I, and Certified in Heavy Vehicles, Group 2, and Certified in Motorcycles, Group 3, and Certified in Emissions, Group D.
Note: The license requirements list includes multiple bullet points, and the last one has sub-bullets. I'll nest ul.
Now 55a Program: include as a paragraph under Qualifications or separate. Since it's a program for qualified persons with disability, I'll add a paragraph after Qualifications.
55-a Program: This position is also open to qualified persons with a disability who are eligible for the 55-a Program. Please indicate at the top of your resume and cover letter that you would like to be considered for the position through the 55-a Program.
