Conservation Operations Supervisor 2 - NY HELPS
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes some EEO statements at end: "The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is committed to fostering a culture..." etc. Also "If you are a person with a disability..." etc. Also "Please be advised, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation does not use E-Verify..." These are boilerplate; we should remove them.
Also remove duplicated lines: The description repeats "Description Duties Description". We'll ignore.
We need to include sections: maybe About the role (prose summarizing role), Responsibilities (list of duties), Qualifications (list of min quals), Benefits (list). Possibly Skills? Not explicit. Could embed skills within qualifications. We'll not create Skills unless explicit.
We need to preserve all substantive info: duties list includes many items; qualifications includes promotion path, open competitive options, reassignment etc. Additional comments includes transportation needs, driver license, PPE, terrain, remote areas, adverse weather, travel, overtime, overnight, weekends/holidays, emergency response, after-hours, lift 50 lbs. Also benefits list.
We must not create Pay or Schedule sections. However we could include schedule-related info under Responsibilities or Additional Comments? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine additional comments (work conditions) under Responsibilities or a separate section like "Working Conditions". But headings allowed are only those listed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We cannot invent new headings. So we need to fit extra info into existing allowed headings. "Requirements" could capture qualifications and maybe work conditions? But "Requirements" likely for qualifications. "About the role" could capture overview. "Responsibilities" for duties. "Benefits" for benefits. "Qualifications" maybe duplicate of Requirements? Actually they list both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We could use Qualifications for the min quals, and Requirements for other requirements like driver license, PPE, etc. Or we could combine. Let's decide:
- About the role: short prose summarizing role (support recreation program, oversee campground operations).
- Responsibilities: list of duties (developing spending plan, reviewing reports, overseeing day-to-day ops, maintenance, construction activities, developing maintenance and work planning, coordinating central office directives, implementing strategic plan, ensuring accessibility/sustainability, coordinating special events, managing NYWORKS, Adventure NY, Capital projects, reviewing/approving work schedules, observing work in progress, procurement, obtaining quotes, preparing purchase requisitions, administering contracts, submitting schedules/reports/work orders, working supervisor of crews, supervision/maintenance/operation/rehabilitation/improvement/construction of infrastructure).
- Requirements: list of specific requirements: valid driver's license, state vehicle use, PPE including respirator, ability to negotiate difficult terrain, work in remote areas, adverse weather, travel may be required, overtime may be required, overnight travel may be required, weekends and holidays may be required, must be available for emergency response, after-hours emergencies, lift up to 50 lbs.
- Qualifications: the minimum qualifications (promotion path, open competitive options, reassignment, reinstatement, transfer eligibility). Also mention NY HELPS program details.
- Benefits: list of benefits package.
We must not include headings with empty content. Ensure each heading has content.
We must not include markdown fences. Output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
We need to use
for each section heading.
Inside each section, we can have
for prose,
- for lists.
We must preserve all substantive info: ensure we don't lose any detail.
Let's extract details precisely.
About the role: "The Conservation Operations Supervisor 2 (COS2) will support our recreation program by overseeing campground operations." That's the core. Could also mention that they support recreation program. We'll keep that sentence.
Responsibilities: list all duties from first paragraph and second paragraph.
First paragraph duties: "developing the recreation spending plan, reviewing recreation financial reports, overseeing day-to-day operations, maintenance, and all campground construction activities. The COS2 will be responsible for developing maintenance and work planning activities, coordinating central office directives, implementing the Department's Strategic Plan, ensuring that our regional facilities meet accessibility and sustainability standards, coordinating special events, managing NYWORKS, Adventure NY, and Capital projects, reviewing and approving work schedules, observing work in progress, procurement of supplies and materials, obtaining quotes for various projects, preparing purchase requisitions, administering and managing contracts, and submitting schedules, reports, and work orders accurately and on time."
Second paragraph: "The COS2 will also be a working supervisor of one or more small crews responsible for completing a variety of tasks. These responsibilities may include the supervision, maintenance, operation, rehabilitation, improvement, or construction of department infrastructure and facilities."
We'll combine into a list.
Requirements: list: "Transportation needs of this position require use of a state vehicle and adhering to the Department’s Vehicle Policy. You must have and maintain a valid driver’s license for this position. Use of personal protection equipment, including a respirator, will be required. Must be able to negotiate difficult terrain. Must be able to work in remote areas. Must be able to work in adverse weather conditions. Travel may be required. Overtime may be required. Overnight travel may be required. Weekends and holidays may be required. Must be available for emergency response. Must be available to respond to after-hours emergencies. Must be able to lift and move objects up to 50 pounds."
We'll put each as
- .
Qualifications: include the NY HELPS program details and minimum qualifications.
We need to preserve all: "This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS). For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title may be filled via a non-competitive appointment, which means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply. To be eligible for appointment under NY HELPS, candidates must meet the minimum qualifications below: Promotion You must be a qualified employee of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and have had one year of permanent competitive, non-competitive, or 55-b/55-c service as follows: Conservation Operations Supervisor 1, General Mechanic, Trades Generalist, Service & Repair Assistant (Motor Equipment), Motor Equipment Maintenance Supervisor 1, Maintenance Supervisor 1 (Motor Equipment), Motor Equipment Mechanic, Service & Repair Mechanic (Motor Equipment), Sign Painter, Trades Specialist (Sign Fabrication), Sign Shop Supervisor 1, Trades Supervisor (Sign Fabrication), Supervisor Marine Equipment Repair, or Maintenance Supervisor 1 (Marine Equipment). Open Competitive Either 1. three years of experience in building maintenance, mechanical maintenance, or construction; one year of which must have been in estimating, supervising, and planning and assigning work. Or 2. two years of experience in building maintenance, mechanical maintenance, or construction; one year of which must have been in estimating, supervising, and planning and assigning work, AND an associate's or higher level degree in civil engineering technology, construction technology, construction engineering technology, electrical technology, electrical engineering technology, engineering technology, industrial technology, industrial engineering technology, mechanical engineering technology, or mechanical technology. Individuals may be eligible for competitive appointment via the following: Reassignment Eligible - Currently in the title and an employee of DEC. or Reinstatement Eligible - Previously held the title on a permanent competitive basis. or Transfer Eligible - One year of permanent competitive service at Salary Grade 13 or higher and eligible for transfer under Civil Service Law."
We'll format as list maybe.
Benefits: list: "We offer a work-life balance and a generous benefits package, worth 65% of salary, including: Holiday & Paid Time Off Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Pension from New York State Employees’ Retirement System Shift & Geographic pay differentials Affordable Health Care options Family dental and vision benefits at no additional cost NYS Deferred Compensation plan Access to NY 529 and NY ABLE College Savings Programs, and U.S. Savings Bonds And many more..."
We'll list each benefit as
- . Also note "For new State employees appointed to graded positions, the annual salary is the hiring rate (beginning of the Salary Range) of the position. Promotion salaries are calculated by the NYS Office of the State Comptroller in accordance with NYS Civil Service Law, OSC Payroll rules and regulations and negotiated union contracts." This is about pay but not specific numbers; we should not create Pay section because no specific pay. However this is substantive info about pay calculation. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state some pay info (hiring rate, promotion salaries). But it's not a specific number; still it's stating pay policy. Should we include a Pay section? The rule says: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them (though generic). So we could include a Pay section with that info. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is not filler; it's specific about how salary is determined. So we could include a Pay section with that info. But we already have Benefits section. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Adding Pay may be okay if substantive. However we must also consider that we already have Benefits; adding Pay may be okay.
But we need to check if we have any schedule specifics: "Travel may be required. Overtime may be required. Overnight travel may be required. Weekends and holidays may be required." That's schedule-related but not specific schedule. The rule says: never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does mention schedule aspects but not a defined schedule. I'd argue not to create a Schedule section because no concrete schedule (like shift times, weekly hours). So we omit Schedule.
Thus we may have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
But we need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Pay info: "For new State employees appointed to graded positions, the annual salary is the hiring rate (beginning of the Salary Range) of the position. Promotion salaries are calculated by the NYS Office of the State Comptroller in accordance with NYS Civil Service Law, OSC Payroll rules and regulations and negotiated union contracts." We'll put that as
under Pay.
Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The NY HELPS program details about non-competitive appointment, etc. Already in Qualifications.
Also mention "Additional Comments Transportation needs..." we put in Requirements.
Also mention "We offer a work-life balance..." we put in Benefits.
Also mention "The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is committed to fostering a culture..." etc. That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove.
