Construction Contract Specialist

ManagementFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting includes summary, duties, requirements, qualifications, education, additional info (salary dependent on experience, probation, direct deposit, E-Verify, travel card, drug-free, etc). Benefits: there is a line "Help Review our benefits" but no details. So we should not create Benefits section because no specific content. Pay: "Salary is dependent on experience and/or education." That's vague but it's actual statement about pay. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Here it says "Salary is dependent on experience and/or education." That's somewhat vague but it's stating that salary depends on experience/education. Is that considered filler? The examples of filler include "commensurate with experience". "Salary is dependent on experience and/or education." is similar. Likely considered filler and we should not create Pay section. Schedule: none. Benefits: only "Help Review our benefits" no detail, so omit. Thus we can have sections: About the role (maybe from summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe combine requirements and qualifications?), Qualifications (knowledge/skills), Skills (maybe separate). But we must not create thin sections. Let's see content: Summary paragraph gives about the role. Duties list many bullet-like sentences. Requirements includes conditions of employment (background check, E-Verify). Qualifications includes knowledge, skill, ability, education. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. For Skills we could extract skill statements from qualifications. But we might avoid creating Skills if it's thin. However we have many skill statements: Skill in contract negotiations, skill in effective presenting, skill in written and oral communication, skill sufficient to evaluate..., skill in use of Microsoft Office Programs. That's substantive. So we can have Skills section. Requirements section: conditions of employment (must pass records and background check, must pass E-Verify, discrepancies resolved). That's specific. Qualifications: knowledge, skill, ability, education. But we already pulled skills out; qualifications could focus on knowledge and ability and education. However we might duplicate skill. Better to keep Qualifications as knowledge and ability and education, and Skills separate. Let's extract: About the role: summary paragraph: "This position is assigned to the Facilities and Construction Contracting Brach (N944); Support Services Division; Commander, Navy Installations Command; Millington, TN. The incumbent is also responsible for performing pre-award, source-selection, post-award, and contract close-out work in support of Regional requirements. The work includes warrant authority for acquisitions directly supporting the non-appropriated fund (NAF) small purchase and Major Construction Projects." Responsibilities: list of duties (the long list). We'll convert each sentence into
  • items. Requirements: conditions of employment: "Must pass all applicable records and background check. Must successfully pass the E-Verify employment verification check. Any discrepancies must be resolved as a condition of employment." Qualifications: knowledge and ability and education: Knowledge of rules governing APF and NAF acquisition, laws, regulations, policies, precedent setting legal decisions. Knowledge of and skill in general and/or construction contracting in either APF or NAF procurement environments. Knowledge of contract administration policies and practices. Knowledge of the rules and regulations governing APF and/or NAF acquisition, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation, DoD, and Department of the Navy (DON) APF and NAF laws and guidance. Knowledge of CNIC's organizational structure, functions, and mission. Ability to represent the Fleet and Family Readiness Support Services (N94) on a variety of issues in a variety of forums of a highly technical or general acquisition nature. Education: As a minimum educational requirement for this series, a qualified candidate possesses at least one of the following: A 4-year course of study leading to a bachelor's degree with a major in any field; 3 full academic years of progressively higher-level graduate education or Ph. D. or equivalent doctoral degree and at least 24 semester hours in any combination of the following fields: accounting, business, finance, law, contracts, purchasing, economics, industrial management, marketing, quantitative methods, or organization and management.; 3 or more years of specialized experience implementing policies and practices of general or construction contracting and at least 24 semester hours in any combination of the following fields: accounting, business, finance, law, contracts, purchasing, economics, industrial management, marketing, quantitative methods, or organization and management. Skills: Skill in contract negotiations. Skill in effective presenting to both senior and subordinate staff levels. Skill in written and oral communication sufficient to craft contractually effective documents and agreements; present sensitive recommendations to higher authorities; and obtain concurrence with recommended approaches to managing issues. Skill sufficient to evaluate, certify and audit contract proposals, awards and disbursements, acquisition reviews, inspections and field assistance visits. Skill in the use of Microsoft Office Programs (e.g., Word, Excel, Power Point, Outlook). We should not include fluff like "Additional information Salary is dependent on experience and/or education." etc. Also omit "Help Review our benefits". Also omit duplicated lines. Now produce HTML fragment: start with maybe but not required. Just output headings and content. Structure:
