Building Inspector

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like application instructions, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the description. Key parts: - Description Summary: "Why it's a great opportunity: ..." includes description of role, field based, inspecting projects, relationships, etc. - "Why it's a great department:" description of PPW. - "How to be successful in the role:" bullet points. - "Your future in this role:" professional development, career growth. - "Core Daily Responsibilities": list of duties. - "Minimum Qualifications": list. - "Special Note": pay steps description. - "Supplemental Information": application instructions etc (should be removed as boilerplate). Also includes accommodation info, etc. We should remove application instructions, EEO, etc. But we need to keep substantive info like pay steps? The Special Note includes pay steps and merit increase details. That's pay info, so we should include a Pay section. - Benefits? Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits details. So we should not create Benefits section unless present. - Schedule? Not mentioned. So no Schedule. - Skills? Not explicit list; maybe we can infer but we should not invent. So no Skills section unless explicit. - Qualifications? We have Minimum Qualifications; could be Qualifications section. - Requirements? Could be same as Minimum Qualifications. But we need to decide which sections to include. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine some. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only those with real content. We have content for About the role (the initial summary). Responsibilities (Core Daily Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications could be same as Requirements; but we could combine. Perhaps we can have Requirements (includes minimum qualifications and certifications). Pay section from Special Note. No Benefits, Schedule, Skills. We must not repeat job title. No extra. We must use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the sections we keep. Let's extract About the role prose: The "Why it's a great opportunity:" paragraph plus "Why it's a great department:" plus "How to be successful in the role:" plus "Your future in this role:" maybe all part of About the role. Could be multiple paragraphs. We need to keep all that info. Responsibilities: list of duties from "Core Daily Responsibilities". It's a paragraph with many sentences separated by periods. We need to turn into list items? The instruction: Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are a list; we can split each sentence into
  • . Must preserve all detail. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications bullet list. Also includes "Additional education or experience may substitute for the recruiting requirements, however not the I.C.C., I.A.P.M.O., or equivalent state certification in building, plumbing or mechanical inspection requirement." That's a sentence. Then list: Three or more years..., An Associate..., I.C.C..., A resume..., A valid drivers license... We need to keep all. Pay: Special Note about steps. Need to preserve all detail. We must not include boilerplate like "How to be successful in the role:"? That's part of About the role. We must remove application instructions etc. Now craft HTML. Structure:

    Requirements

    Additional education or experience may substitute for the recruiting requirements, however not the I.C.C., I.A.P.M.O., or equivalent state certification in building, plumbing or mechanical inspection requirement.

    • Three or more years of experience in building/construction inspection, general construction, plans examining or related field.
    • An Associate of Arts degree in Construction Technology or related field.
    • I.C.C., I.A.P.M.O., or equivalent state certification in building, plumbing or mechanical inspection is required.
    • A resume and cover Letter are required for this position.
    • A valid drivers license is required for this position.

    Pay

    Steps 1 through 6 of the pay range are merit increases based upon performance evaluation. Step 7/8 is a merit increase based upon performance evaluation and receipt of a 2nd ICC/IAPMO certification in one of the three areas, Plans Examiner, Plumbing, or Mechanical. Step 9/10 is a merit increase based upon performance evaluation and receipt of a 3rd ICC/IAPMO certification in the areas of Plans Examiner, Plumbing, and Mechanical. An employee at step 9 may progress to step 10 upon satisfactory completion of (26) accruable pay cycles. Failure to maintain required certification(s) and/or failure to maintain acceptable performance shall result in loss of merit pay at either steps "7/8" or "9/10". As a condition of employment, the applicant will need to authorize and complete a background check. Information received from the background check is reviewed case-by-case and will not necessarily remove an applicant from consideration.

    We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "Why it's a great department:" paragraph about PPW. Include in About the role. Also "How to be successful in the role:" bullet points? Actually it's sentences: "Your success will come from providing excellent and positive customer service as you act independently, balancing your time and workload. Staying on top of policy and procedural changes, Learning the Pierce County code, and consistently training with the team will further ensure your success." That's prose. "Your future in this role:" paragraph about professional development, career growth. All that should be in About the role. Now check for any other substantive info: "A classification description with a more detailed list of essential functions can be found here." That's a link reference; we should keep? It's a reference to more detail; but it's not substantive detail itself; maybe we can keep as a sentence? It's not essential but it's info. Might keep as a sentence in Responsibilities? Actually it's after responsibilities list. It says "A classification description with a more detailed list of essential functions can be found here." That's a reference; we could keep as a sentence in Responsibilities section maybe as a note. But it's not a duty; it's a note. Could be included as a

    after list. However instruction: Use

    for prose. So we could add a

    after the

    for that sentence. Similarly, in Minimum Qualifications there is "Additional education or experience may substitute for the recruiting requirements, however not the I.C.C., I.A.P.M.O., or equivalent state certification in building, plumbing or mechanical inspection requirement." Already captured as a

    . Now check for any other info: "Supplemental Information To Be Considered For This Opportunity Please Complete and submit a detailed online Pierce County Employment Application..." That's application instructions; we should remove. Also accommodation info, etc. Remove. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, Welcoming Workplace etc. Those are in the supplemental after "Supplemental Information". Actually after that there is a paragraph about Pierce County commitment etc. That's boilerplate; we should remove. Thus final HTML:
