Control System Specialist I, II, III or Senior
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the job description and extract sections.
We have:
- About the role: The initial paragraph: "Responsible for supporting, designing, and implementing control system and technology solutions in support of Tri-State operations. Ensures operational stability, security, and efficiency. Responsible for implementing and maintaining a supportive convergence of Information Technology, Operational Technology, and Generation policies and technologies. Base location : Headquarters-Westminster, CO, Brush Field Facility-Brush, CO or J.M. Shafer Station-Fort Lupton, CO. Note : There is one position available, and this position will be filled at one of four job grade levels: Control Systems Specialist I; job grade 7; Control Systems Specialist II, job grade 8; Control Systems Specialist III; job grade 9 or Senior Control Systems Specialist; job grade 10. This decision will be based on the qualifications and experience of the selected candidate and Tri-State business needs at the time of hire."
We can treat that as "About the role" (or maybe "Overview").
- Responsibilities: The long list after "Responsibilities" heading.
- Qualifications: The "Education and Training" and "Knowledge, Skills, And Ability" and "Experience" sections.
- Skills: Might be part of Qualifications; but we can separate "Skills" if needed.
- Benefits: The paragraph about benefits: "Tri-State recognizes the value of a highly engaged and committed workforce and provides an excellent benefits program that includes : Medical Insurance, Dental Insurance, Vision Insurance, Flexible Work Schedules including compressed work week and telecommuting opportunities to work remotely up to 40%, Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Tuition Reimbursement, Life Insurance, Retirement Option, Long Term Disability (LTD), Short Term Disability (STD), Employee Assistant Program (EAP) and Paid Leave Benefits."
- Pay: Salary ranges for each grade and note about actual compensation.
- Schedule: "Job Schedule: Full time" and also "Because Tri-State has an obligation to provide continuous, reliable electric service to its customers, the ability to work overtime at any time of the day or week is considered an essential function of the job." Also maybe "Flexible Work Schedules including compressed work week and telecommuting opportunities to work remotely up to 40%" is part of benefits but also schedule.
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 to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. So we can include: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Skills could be merged into Qualifications.
We must not repeat the job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for "Control Systems Specialist". We'll just have sections.
We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep all details, but we can format them as lists.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, duplicated lines, application instructions. The EEO line: "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status." That's boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "Job Identification: 722 Job Category: Generation Posting Date: 2026-09-15T19:18:54+00:00 Job Schedule: Full time Locations: 1100 W 116th Ave, Westminster, CO, 80234, US" - we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include a short paragraph with location and maybe job ID? But better to drop it as minor metadata. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; location is substantive? The base location is given earlier: "Base location : Headquarters-Westminster, CO, Brush Field Facility-Brush, CO or J.M. Shafer Station-Fort Lupton, CO." That's substantive. The later "Locations: 1100 W 116th Ave, Westminster, CO, 80234, US" is duplicate; we can drop.
Job ID and posting date are minor metadata; we can drop.
We need to keep the note about job grade levels and that decision based on qualifications.
We need to keep the "Other Duties/Responsibilities Perform other related duties as assigned" - that's boilerplate? Might be considered generic; but it's part of responsibilities. We can include as a bullet.
We need to keep "Success Factors/Job Competencies" section; that could be considered Skills or Qualifications. We could incorporate into Qualifications or Skills.
We need to keep "Desired Job Qualifications" note about Senior Control Systems Specialist; but that is already covered.
We need to keep "About Us" section; that is substantive about company; could be included as "About the company" maybe but not required. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. About Us is real content. Could be a section "About the company". But we already have "About the role". Might be redundant. However we could combine About Us into About the role or drop? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role (including base location and job grade note) and maybe About Us as separate? Might be thin. But we could include it as a short paragraph under About the role.
Better to have sections: About the role (includes base location, job grade note, and maybe brief company overview). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (includes education, knowledge, skills, ability, experience, desired qualifications, success factors). Benefits (list). Pay (salary ranges). Schedule (full time, overtime, flexible work schedules). That seems reasonable.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. They do state them.
Now we need to format.
We'll produce something like:
About the role
Responsible for supporting, designing, and implementing control system and technology solutions in support of Tri-State operations. Ensures operational stability, security, and efficiency. Responsible for implementing and maintaining a supportive convergence of Information Technology, Operational Technology, and Generation policies and technologies. Base location: Headquarters-Westminster, CO; Brush Field Facility-Brush, CO; or J.M. Shafer Station-Fort Lupton, CO. One position is available and will be filled at one of four job grade levels based on qualifications and experience: Control Systems Specialist I (job grade 7), Control Systems Specialist II (job grade 8), Control Systems Specialist III (job grade 9), or Senior Control Systems Specialist (job grade 10). Tri-State is a wholesale power supply cooperative operating on a not-for-profit basis, serving members in Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Wyoming.
But we need to preserve all substantive information; we must not lose details like "Tri-State's electricity is generated from coal, natural gas, hydropower, wind, and solar..." etc. That's from About Us. We should include that.
Thus About the role could include the About Us paragraph.
Now Responsibilities: we need to list each duty as - . The responsibilities list is long; we need to capture each bullet. The original responsibilities paragraph is a long sentence with many items separated by periods. We need to split into list items. We must preserve all substantive information; we can break them into separate
- items.
Let's extract responsibilities:
- Support Generation Technology software tools, including OSIsoft/Aveva Pi data historian, and EtaPro thermal performance suite.
- Support Generation Control Systems with expert knowledge of; Emerson Ovation, GE MarkVIe, Programmable Logic Controllers, Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems, various equipment monitoring systems (system 1, transformer monitoring, SEL Relays, etc.).

- Must be familiar with, and comply with, all aspects of Corporate Policy C-54, Compliance.
- Help to define future standards for an efficient, stable, usable, and secure architecture.
- Support project planning and implementations, leveraging vendors, Engineering and Construction department, and IT resources.
- Coordinate instrumentation, controls, and electrical related work activities with Generation Facilities staff.
- Help inform internal project managers of standard practices, standard OT network architecture, and preferred software branding to standardize the OT footprint across all TSGT assets.
- Define, document, and enforce server and operational standards for implementation of new projects.
- Monitor and maintain policies for Distributed Control System (DCS) access, including foreign devices and remote access.
- Maintain security of control system infrastructure by establishing and enforcing policies.
- Troubleshoot control system problems, including DCS networking, sensor networking and Control logic, collaborating with administration personnel on changes.
- Coordinate with Generation facility supervision to fully support scheduled equipment maintenance outages in any needed capacity. (i.e., logic reviews, FAT, SAT, drawing and turnover packages, etc.)
- Maintain compliance with all company policies and procedures and attain knowledge and remain knowledgeable of regulations, laws, standards, and best practices applicable to functional area.
- Because Tri-State has an obligation to provide continuous, reliable electric service to its customers, the ability to work overtime at any time of the day or week is considered an essential function of the job.
- Other Duties/Responsibilities: Perform other related duties as assigned.
We need to keep the overtime note; maybe it's better placed under Schedule.
Now Qualifications: we have Education and Training, Knowledge, Skills, And Ability, Experience, Desired Job Qualifications, Success Factors/Job Competencies.
We need to preserve all details.
