Controls Specialist / Senior Controls Specialist (Richmond, Hybrid)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have:
- Job Summary (description) - could be "About the role" or "Job Summary". The instruction list includes "About the role". We'll use that.
- Responsibilities: there is "Key Responsibilities" list.
- Requirements: there is "Required Knowledge, Skills, Abilities & Experience" and "Education Requirements". Could combine into "Requirements" or separate "Qualifications" and "Skills". We'll follow typical: "Requirements" for experience/education, "Skills" for abilities.
- Benefits: there is description of benefits.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: hybrid 3-2 work schedule.
- Also mention Military service members etc. That's maybe part of "About the role" or could be separate but not needed.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We must preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract content:
Mission statement: "Dominion Energy is committed to providing reliable, affordable, and increasingly clean energy that powers our customers every day. If you want to work for a purpose-driven company that values safety and collaboration, we’re looking for you. You won’t just find a job here; you’ll find your career."
Hybrid schedule: "We offer a hybrid 3-2 work schedule (three days in the office, two days of teleworking) to accommodate the need for flexibility."
Military service members note: "Military service members and veterans with ranks from E5-E9, W1-CW5, or O3-O6, plus appropriate equivalent combination of education and years of experience as outlined below will be considered for this opportunity."
Visa sponsorship: "At this time, Dominion Energy cannot transfer or sponsor a work visa or employment authorization for this position."
Job Summary paragraph: "The Controls Specialist is responsible for supporting cost control, forecasting, budgeting, reporting, and financial analysis for assigned capital projects within the Project Construction Thermal Portfolio. This role partners with project managers, contractors, vendors, and internal business groups to monitor project performance, identify risks and variances, support month-end close activities, and provide timely, accurate information to management for decision-making."
Then bullet list of duties (starting with "Develop, maintain, and analyze project forecasts...").
Key Responsibilities list (starting with "Follow established Project Controls policies...").
Required Knowledge, Skills, Abilities & Experience: includes two levels (Controls Specialist 2-3 years..., Senior Controls Specialist 5–6+ years...). Then list of abilities.
Education Requirements: "Degree or an equivalent combination of education and demonstrated related experience may be accepted in lieu of preferred level of education: Bachelor Preferred Disciplines: Accounting, Finance, and Business."
Licenses, Certifications, or Quals Description: "Working Conditions Office Work Environment 76 -100% Travel Up to 25% Other Working Conditions Test Description No Testing Required Export Control Certain positions at Dominion Energy may involve access to information and technology subject to export controls under U.S. law. Compliance with these export controls may result in Dominion Energy limiting its consideration of certain applicants."
We might include Working Conditions as part of Requirements? Not a standard heading but could be included under "Requirements" or maybe separate "Working Conditions". The instruction list does not include Working Conditions but we can include if content is substantive. However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could incorporate into Requirements.
Benefits: "At Dominion Energy, we offer excellent plans and programs for employees. Employees are rewarded with a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package which includes: health, dental, and vision benefits with coverage for families and domestic partners, vacation, retirement plans including 401k contributions and matches, paid holidays, tuition reimbursement, bonus eligibility, sick leave, and disability insurance.

The actual salary offered may vary based on factors such as the selected candidate’s qualifications, skills, experience, and work location. This is not intended to represent the full salary range for the position or limit future compensation growth."
Schedule: hybrid 3-2 work schedule.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So no heading for Controls Specialist.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll structure:
About the role
mission statement + hybrid schedule + military note + visa note? Might be too much but okay.
Maybe split: About the role includes mission and hybrid schedule. Military note maybe part of About the role as well. ThenResponsibilities
- ... list items from both the initial bullet list and Key Responsibilities? The instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We have two lists: the bullet list after Job Summary (Develop, maintain...), and the Key Responsibilities list. We could combine them into one list under Responsibilities.
Then
Requirements
Maybe include experience, education, working conditions. ThenSkills
Maybe include abilities list. But we could combine Requirements and Skills into one section? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including experience, education, skills, working conditions), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Let's decide: - About the role: mission, hybrid schedule, military note, visa note. - Responsibilities: combine bullet list. - Requirements: include experience levels (Controls Specialist 2-3 years, Senior 5-6+), education requirements, working conditions (office, travel, export control note). Also maybe include licenses? Not needed. - Skills: maybe not separate; we could put abilities under Requirements as well. But we have a list of abilities: Strong understanding..., Ability to review..., Strong analytical..., Ability to manage..., Proficiency with SAP... That's skills. Could be under Requirements or Skills. Since we already have Requirements, we could put abilities under Requirements as well. But to follow instruction, we could have Skills section for those abilities. But we need to avoid many thin sections. Perhaps combine experience, education, abilities into Requirements, and keep Skills minimal or omit. However the instruction list includes Skills as possible heading; we can omit if not needed. Let's see: we have abilities list that is substantive. Could be placed under Requirements as part of qualifications. So we can have Requirements include experience, education, abilities, working conditions. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now craft HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's write:About the role
