Construction Engineer - Civil
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam warning, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting.
First paragraph: "TMG’s Construction Engineer II - Civil is an individual who provides the knowledge and skills to support TMG’s Project Management and/or Field Operations in performing the technical aspects of managing building- and civil-related commercial and institutional construction projects. The Construction Engineer II role in the TMG organization is a developmental position in which employees are provided an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the construction process and to develop management skills to advance within the TMG organization."
That's about the role. So we can have About the role
with that paragraph(s).
Next: "Scope of Construction Engineer II Position Assist and support all aspects of project management and field operations where necessary, for multiple small projects or a large project. Support the project management process by performing engineering tasks such as processing shop drawings, handling the workflow of RFI’s, document control, change management, outsourcing, estimating, scheduling, and other related activities."
That could be part of responsibilities or about role. Might be considered responsibilities. We'll see.
Then "Essential Functions Of Construction Engineer II Position Basic to good understanding of civil, architectural, mechanical or electrical disciplines. Good analytical skills and the ability to effectively use a variety of estimating, scheduling, and reporting software tools. The ability to effectively communicate with management, subcontractors, customers, and peer group. Ability to travel to different job sites within a designated geographical area."
That's qualifications/skills.
Then "Construction Engineer II Responsibilities" heading in source; we need to list responsibilities as bullet list.
Responsibilities list includes many bullet points: "Support the Project Manager, Superintendent, or other management roles in the construction process throughout all phases of the life-cycle of a project to include estimating, negotiation, contracting, buyout, construction administration, and closeout of individual projects and/or task order projects at large; Create, update, and maintain a variety of project controls that track the status of: individual projects or task orders, changes to projects or task orders, RFI, shop drawings and submittals, matters involving quality controls, safety, financial performance, closeout, and other aspects of the project(s) or task order(s); Work with subject matter experts to create, review, and process shop drawings and other submittals that are required to document the construction process; Support the change management process by updating logs, routing source documents to vendors, obtaining pricing, developing estimates and proposals, writing change orders and other related activities; Support the estimating process by performing quantity surveys utilizing digitizers, 3D modeling software, and paper-based processes that obtain and summarize scope and quantities of work; Establish, monitor, communicate, and maintain project schedules utilizing contemporary scheduling software; Support the physical layout and an absolute understanding of the spatial relationships of the physical work: by developing control line drawings, by using CADD to obtain additional dimensioning information, by reviewing and coordinating shop drawings and other activities that allow the various elements of work to correctly fit together; Support the PM in negotiating contracts, subcontracts, and purchase orders; Maintain and regularly produce reports utilizing TMG and client-specific workflow software such as TMG’s Project Center, USACE QCS/RMS, Prolog, etc. Proactively identify issues that could lead to problems and facilitate solutions; Develop an understanding of how to maintain and require compliance with all contract terms and legal requirements that govern the project to prevent rework and delays; Provide timely and cordial interaction with supporting work groups, such as accounting, HR, ICS, etc. Participate in managing activities that are related to project closeout to ensure timely completion; Assist with the evaluation of projects for constructability and value-engineer cost savings; Participate in lifelong learning opportunities and professional development. Participate in weekly staff meetings and industry networking functions. Familiarize oneself with the Project Manager or Superintendent Position Description and work deliberately to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to evolve into one of the stated roles;"
We need to split into - items. The original uses semicolons to separate items; we can treat each clause separated by semicolon as a list item. Also some sentences have internal commas; but we can just split at semicolons.
Let's list them:
1. Support the Project Manager, Superintendent, or other management roles in the construction process throughout all phases of the life-cycle of a project to include estimating, negotiation, contracting, buyout, construction administration, and closeout of individual projects and/or task order projects at large
2. Create, update, and maintain a variety of project controls that track the status of: individual projects or task orders, changes to projects or task orders, RFI, shop drawings and submittals, matters involving quality controls, safety, financial performance, closeout, and other aspects of the project(s) or task order(s)
3. Work with subject matter experts to create, review, and process shop drawings and other submittals that are required to document the construction process
4. Support the change management process by updating logs, routing source documents to vendors, obtaining pricing, developing estimates and proposals, writing change orders and other related activities
5. Support the estimating process by performing quantity surveys utilizing digitizers, 3D modeling software, and paper-based processes that obtain and summarize scope and quantities of work
6. Establish, monitor, communicate, and maintain project schedules utilizing contemporary scheduling software
7. Support the physical layout and an absolute understanding of the spatial relationships of the physical work: by developing control line drawings, by using CADD to obtain additional dimensioning information, by reviewing and coordinating shop drawings and other activities that allow the various elements of work to correctly fit together
8. Support the PM in negotiating contracts, subcontracts, and purchase orders
9. Maintain and regularly produce reports utilizing TMG and client-specific workflow software such as TMG’s Project Center, USACE QCS/RMS, Prolog, etc.
10. Proactively identify issues that could lead to problems and facilitate solutions
11. Develop an understanding of how to maintain and require compliance with all contract terms and legal requirements that govern the project to prevent rework and delays
12. Provide timely and cordial interaction with supporting work groups, such as accounting, HR, ICS, etc.
13. Participate in managing activities that are related to project closeout to ensure timely completion
14. Assist with the evaluation of projects for constructability and value-engineer cost savings
15. Participate in lifelong learning opportunities and professional development
16. Participate in weekly staff meetings and industry networking functions
17. Familiarize oneself with the Project Manager or Superintendent Position Description and work deliberately to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to evolve into one of the stated roles
Now "Minimum Qualifications" heading: we need to capture qualifications.
Minimum Qualifications text:
"B.S. degree in Engineering or Construction Management with 2-3 years of experience with a commercial and/or industrial general contractor or 5 years of directly related experience with no degree; A basic to good understanding of construction means and methods associated with the renovation of commercial and institutional buildings and site work related thereto; Solid understanding/proficiency with spreadsheets, email, and other software used in the construction industry. Must be able to lift and handle 50-pound objects; Must be fully mobile and capable of walking job sites, climbing ladders and stairs multiple times daily to inspect work, direct subcontractors and TMG’s own field forces, and assure safety and quality control; Must have a clean driving record to facilitate getting materials from suppliers when necessary; Professional credentials – either Engineer in Training (EIT), or Associate Constructor (AC) in good standing; Current safety credentials to include OSHA 30 1, 1st Aid and CPR 1; Current CQC certification issued by USACE / NAVFAC 1; 1 A grace period of up to six months may be allowed to obtain stated credentials."
We need to separate into list items maybe under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide where each piece goes.
We have "Essential Functions" which includes basic understanding of disciplines, analytical skills, communication, travel. That could be Skills or Qualifications.
We have Minimum Qualifications which includes degree, experience, understanding of construction means, proficiency with software, physical ability, driving record, credentials.
We could put Requirements as the list of mandatory items (degree, experience, physical, driving record, credentials). Qualifications could be preferred or additional? But we have only one set. Perhaps we can combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we must only emit sections when there is real specific content. We could put Requirements for the mandatory items, and Qualifications for the skills/knowledge (understanding of disciplines, analytical skills, communication, travel). Skills could be software proficiency etc. However we need to avoid thin sections.
Better: Use Requirements for the mandatory qualifications (degree, experience, physical, driving record, credentials). Use Skills for the abilities: understanding of civil/mech/etc disciplines, analytical skills, software use, communication, travel. Use Qualifications maybe for the "basic to good understanding of construction means and methods" etc? Actually that is also a qualification.
Let's map:
- About the role: first two paragraphs (description).
- Responsibilities: the big list.
- Requirements: B.S. degree or experience, lift 50 lb, mobility, clean driving record, professional credentials (EIT/AC), safety credentials (OSHA30, first aid/CPR), CQC certification, grace period.
- Qualifications: basic to good understanding of construction means and methods associated with renovation of commercial/institutional buildings and site work; solid understanding/proficiency with spreadsheets, email, other software used in construction industry. (maybe also the understanding of civil, architectural, mechanical or electrical disciplines? Actually that was under Essential Functions.)
- Skills: Good analytical skills and ability to use estimating, scheduling, reporting software tools; ability to effectively communicate with management, subcontractors, customers, peer group; ability to travel to different job sites within designated geographical area.
But we also have "Basic to good understanding of civil, architectural, mechanical or electrical disciplines." That could be under Skills or Qualifications. Let's put that under Skills as well (knowledge of disciplines). So Skills includes: understanding of civil/arch/mech/elect disciplines, analytical skills, software use, communication, travel.
Qualifications: understanding of construction means and methods, proficiency with spreadsheets/email/software.
But there is overlap; we can keep them separate but ensure not too thin. Might be okay.
Now Benefits: The posting says: "TMG provides a mix of voluntary and company-paid health and welfare benefits, vacation, sick and holiday paid time off, a 401 (k) match, and we fully support training and professional growth."
That's benefits. So we need Benefits section.
Pay and Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should NOT create those sections.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings
and paragraphs
for prose, and
- for lists.
We must not include boilerplate: EEO statement, etc. Remove that.
Also remove duplicated lines: there may be duplicate "1" etc. We'll ignore.
Now craft HTML.
We'll start with
About the role
then containing the two sentences combined maybe.
Paragraph: "TMG’s Construction Engineer II - Civil is an individual who provides the knowledge and skills to support TMG’s Project Management and/or Field Operations in performing the technical aspects of managing building- and civil-related commercial and institutional construction projects. The Construction Engineer II role in the TMG organization is a developmental position in which employees are provided an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the construction process and to develop management skills to advance within the TMG organization."
Then maybe also include the scope sentence? Actually the scope sentence could be part of responsibilities but we already have
and paragraphs
for prose, and
- for lists.
