Automotive Lead Technician
Bridgestone Americas · Rapid City, SD · 1 mo ago
Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use . The responsibilities block:
"Diagnose and repair to specifications - brake and hydraulic, exhaust, primary and/or advanced fuel ignition and electrical, suspension and alignment, air conditioning and computer systems.
Adequately explain technical diagnoses and needed repairs to non-mechanical individuals.
Stay current with rapidly changing automotive technology through continuous paid formal training.
Assist and train technicians/mechanics in performing technical activities.
Obtain or maintain A.S.E. certifications in at least five of A1 – A8 within first two years of employment. (Tests and registrations fees are paid for by company pass or fail. Technicians receive bonus for each test passed)"
We'll make each sentence a .
Now Requirements (Minimum Qualifications):
"Must have a valid automobile driver's license at all times and be able to drive customer and company vehicles.
Skilled in brakes diagnosis/repair
Skilled in alignment, steering & suspension diagnosis/repair
Skilled in general automotive maintenance & tire repair
Current federal, state and local certification/license where applicable.
Ability to communicate technical information to non-technical people.
Reading, writing and math skills."
We'll list each as .
Now Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications):
"Strong understanding of any of the following:
Electrical/electronic systems
Engine repair
Engine performance
Automatic transmission/transaxle
Manual drivetrain/transmission
Automotive heating/AC
5 years of automotive repair experience, demonstrated skills via third party assessments/certifications, or completion of Vocational-Technical School Program
A.S.E. certification in at least 3 of A1-A8 (L1 can be one of the three – Brakes and Steering & Suspension A.S.E.s preferred)"
We need to format as list. The first line "Strong understanding of any of the following:" could be a heading inside? But we just need list items. Could treat each bullet as . The first line is a phrase introducing list; we could make it a as well, but maybe better to keep as "Strong understanding of any of the following:" then subitems? But we cannot nest lists? We could just make each item separate: "Strong understanding of any of the following:" as a , then each of the following as separate . That's okay.
Now Skills: we could extract skills from responsibilities and qualifications: e.g., "Diagnose and repair brake and hydraulic, exhaust, primary and/or advanced fuel ignition and electrical, suspension and alignment, air conditioning and computer systems", "Explain technical diagnoses to non-mechanical individuals", "Stay current with technology through training", "Assist and train technicians", "Obtain/maintain ASE certifications", "Valid driver's license", "Skilled in brakes diagnosis/repair", "Skilled in alignment, steering & suspension diagnosis/repair", "Skilled in general automotive maintenance & tire repair", "Ability to communicate technical information to non-technical people", "Reading, writing and math skills", "Strong understanding of electrical/electronic systems, engine repair, engine performance, automatic transmission/transaxle, manual drivetrain/transmission, automotive heating/AC", "5 years of automotive repair experience", "ASE certification in at least 3 of A1-A8". But many overlap. Might be redundant. Perhaps better to not include Skills section if not explicitly listed. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; but we could create one if we have content. The instruction: "Use using the exact phrases from the posting. That would preserve detail. But many are already in Responsibilities/Requirements/Qualifications; duplicating might be okay but could be considered redundant. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does not forbid duplication. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe better to not create a separate Skills section if its content is already covered elsewhere. But we could still include it if we want; but risk being considered thin? Might be okay.
Given the examples, they likely expect sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly Skills optional.
Let's decide to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
We'll not include Skills or Schedule.
Now Benefits: list from "Our Crew Knows Benefits":
"Medical, Dental and Vision – Starting day 1 for all our teammates"
"Paid vacation and holidays"
"On-the-job training and company-funded ASE certifications"
"Flexible work schedule"
"401(k) match"
"On demand pay (daily pay) program available"
Also from "What We Offer": "A supportive and engaging onboarding experience to ensure a smooth transition into our team.", "The opportunity to develop and grow, through training and regular mentorship.", "Corporate Social Responsibility activities.", "A truly global, dynamic and challenging work environment.", "Agility and work/life effectiveness and your long-term well-being.", "An effective and inclusive team."
These are also benefits/offers. Could include them under Benefits as well. To preserve all substantive info, we should include them. So Benefits section will combine both lists.
Now Pay: include sign on bonus $2000 at 90 days, Pay Range: $21.69 - $47.24, description of flat-rate pay system, note about rates reflecting earning potential, etc.
Now About the role: include Company Overview and Position Summary (maybe we already put sign on bonus and pay range in Pay section, but we need to avoid duplication. The Position Summary includes sign on bonus and pay range; we already have Pay section for those details. To avoid duplication, we could keep Position Summary without pay details, but the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can either keep them in both places (duplicate) or split. Duplication might be okay but could be considered redundant. Better to avoid duplication: we can put the position summary excluding pay details in About the role, and put pay details in Pay section. However the position summary also includes description of flat-rate pay; that is also pay-related. Might be better to keep all pay-related info in Pay section, and About the role includes company overview and generic position summary (without pay). Let's extract:
Position Summary text: "The Lead Technician position requires your experience and technical expertise to diagnose drivability and electrical systems, while using your leadership and mentoring skills in driving a team toward increased customer care and satisfaction." Then after that: "Sign on bonus $2000 at 90 daysPay Range: $
