Ingalls Shipbuilding, a Division of HII · Pascagoula, MS · 1 mo ago
Full-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if there is real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Content:
- Req ID: 49761 (metadata, drop)
- Team: 67 (drop)
- Entity: Ingalls Shipbuilding (maybe part of about)
- US Citizenship Required for this Position: No (maybe not needed)
- Full-Time Shift: 1st (maybe schedule? but schedule section only if specific content; shift is schedule info)
- Relocation: No relocation assistance available (maybe benefits? but it's about relocation assistance; could be part of Benefits? but we only include Benefits if posting actually states them. It says "No relocation assistance available" - that's a statement about benefits. Could include in Benefits section? But we need to avoid filler like "not specified". This is specific: no relocation assistance. Could include.
- Virtual/Telework Opportunity: Yes - Occasional or hybrid telework available (maybe Benefits? Could be part of Benefits or maybe a separate section? Not listed; but we can include under Benefits? Might be considered a benefit. However we only have defined sections; we could put telework under Benefits or maybe under Schedule? Not exactly. Could include under Benefits as "Occasional or hybrid telework available".
- Travel Requirement: Yes, 25%-50% of the time (maybe Schedule? Travel is not schedule but could be under Responsibilities? Might be a requirement. Could be under Requirements? Not exactly. Could be under "Travel" but not a defined section. We could include under Responsibilities? Not ideal. Perhaps we can include under "Schedule" as travel %? But schedule section is for work schedule; travel is not schedule. Could create a custom section? Not allowed; only those headings. So we need to decide where to place travel requirement. Could be under Responsibilities? Not really. Could be under Requirements? Not really. Could be under Skills? Not. Could be under Qualifications? Not. Could be under Benefits? Not. Could be under Pay? Not. Could be under Schedule? Not. Might be better to omit? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can include under "Responsibilities" as part of duties? Travel requirement is not a duty but a condition. Could be under "Requirements" as a condition? Might be acceptable: "Travel Requirement: Yes, 25%-50% of the time" could be placed under Requirements as a bullet.
- Then the paragraph about building tomorrow's fleet etc. That's about the company; could be under "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is for role description; but we have a paragraph about the company. Could be under "About the role" as introductory? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have an "About the role" section that includes description of the role and maybe company context. The posting includes a paragraph: "We’re building tomorrow’s fleet today With More Than 11,000 Employees, HII’s Ingalls Shipbuilding Division Is The Largest Manufacturing Employer In Mississippi And a Major Contributor To The Economic Growth Of Alabama. For Nearly 85 Years, We’ve Designed, Built And Maintained Amphibious Ships, Destroyers, And Cutters For The U.S. Navy And The U.S. Coast Guard. The Largest Supplier Of U.S. Navy Surface Combatants, We’re Simultaneously Building Four Classes Of Ships And Have Pioneered The Development And Production Of Technologically Advanced, Highly Capable Ships For The Surface Navy Fleet For Decades. Think That’s Cool? Keep Reading". That's company overview. Could be placed under "About the role" as context.
- Then "The Role" paragraph: "Estimates labor and material costs of manufacturing and engineering based on request for proposal(RFP) data submitted by prospective customers. Analyzes specifications, including sketches, blueprints,bills of material, or sample layouts, and calculates production costs using labor and material pricing schedules and historical data. Collects cost data from functional representatives, subcontractors, and vendors. Computes cost estimates of raw materials or subcontracted work and labor. Prepares and maintains historical cost data. Creates cost models for cost estimating elements. Prepares cost reports and presents findings to management, contract personnel, proposal coordinators, customer representatives, price auditors, vendors, and subcontractors." That's responsibilities/duties. So we can put under Responsibilities.
- Then "Must Have" bullet list: education/experience combos. Also "Must be a current HII employee". That's qualifications/requirements. We'll need to separate Requirements vs Qualifications vs Skills. The instruction: Use headings for sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements are mandatory (must have). Qualifications could be preferred? Skills could be nice-to-have. The posting has "Must Have" and "Nice to Have". So we can put Must Have under Requirements (or Qualifications). Nice to Have under Skills. Also "Ideal candidate will have knowledge of shipbuilding processes and work experience in Engineering, Quality/Industrial Engineering, Planning, Procurement or Operations/Craft.Candidates should be able to contribute to the development of new concepts, techniques, and standards.Considered expert in field within the organization. Demonstrates the skill and ability to perform complex tasks.Able to communicate effectively and clearly present technical approaches and findings." That's also nice-to-have/skills.
- Then "Why HII" paragraph about benefits etc. That's benefits. So we can put under Benefits.
- Then "We offer comprehensive benefits including: medical, prescription drug, dental and vision plan choices, on-site health centers, tele-medicine, wellness resources, employee assistance programs, savings plan options (401K), financial education and planning tools, life insurance, tuition reimbursement, employee discounts, early childhood and post-secondary education scholarships, and more. Some benefits may vary depending on your specific division or work location." That's benefits details.
- Then EEO statement etc (remove). Then accommodation info (remove). Then phone number (remove). So we need to strip boilerplate.
Now we need to decide which sections to include.
We have content for:
- About the role: company overview + maybe role summary? Could include the "We’re building tomorrow’s fleet today ..." paragraph. Also maybe include a brief role summary? The "The Role" paragraph is responsibilities, but we could also put a short summary under About the role. However we must not duplicate. We'll put company overview under About the role.
- Responsibilities: the detailed duties list.
- Requirements: Must Have education/experience combos + Must be a current HII employee + Travel requirement? Travel requirement maybe under Requirements as a condition. Also maybe shift? Full-Time Shift: 1st (schedule). Could be under Schedule section. We'll see.
- Qualifications: maybe we could treat Must Have as Requirements, and Nice to Have as Qualifications? But we also have Skills section for nice-to-have skills. The posting separates Nice to Have (ideal candidate will have knowledge...). That's more like skills/qualifications. So we could put Nice to Have under Skills. Then Qualifications could be empty? We should not emit a heading with filler. So we should omit Qualifications if no specific content. But we have Must Have which could be considered Qualifications. However we already have Requirements for mandatory. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say we must differentiate between Requirements and Qualifications strictly; we can decide. But we need to avoid thin sections. If we put Must Have under Requirements, we could put Nice to Have under Skills. Then we might not need Qualifications. That's okay.
- Benefits: the benefits paragraph.
- Pay: not mentioned; no pay info. So omit Pay section.
- Schedule: we have Full-Time Shift: 1st (maybe schedule). Also Virtual/Telework Opportunity: Yes - Occasional or hybrid telework available (could be under Benefits or Schedule). Travel requirement: 25%-50% of the time (could be under Schedule? Not exactly schedule but could be under Schedule as travel %? Might be okay. But we could also put travel under Requirements. Let's think: The schedule section is for work schedule (shift, telework, travel%). The posting includes shift, telework, travel. So we can put all three under Schedule. That would be substantive.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. Not needed.
