Custodian | Prairie Lakes Wellness Center
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. From the posting: Job Title: Custodian | Prairie Lakes Wellness Center (but we should not repeat job title as heading). Provide maybe a
with job title? Not required but we can include as part of content. We have: - Salary: Grade 105 / Step 1 = $37,835.20 annually or $3,152.93 per month. That's Pay. - Schedule: Tuesday through Saturday, 5:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. - Benefits: Not explicitly mentioned. There's no benefits listed. So we should not create Benefits section. - About the role: Could be the Position Summary: "This position performs building and grounds cleaning and light maintenance duties to provide a clean, safe, and well-maintained environment for employees and the public. The position also provides day-to-day work direction and coordination to part-time cleaning staff to ensure cleaning responsibilities and established standards are met." That's a prose paragraph. - Responsibilities: The Essential Functions list (duties). That's a list. - Requirements/Qualifications: There's "MINIMUM REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS" and "OTHER REQUIREMENTS". Also "Qualifications" heading appears. We can combine into Requirements section (maybe Qualifications). The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to use. We have both qualifications and other requirements. Could put under "Qualifications" heading with list items: High School Diploma or equivalent; One (1) year work experience in custodial services; Experience running lawn and snow removal equipment; Must successfully pass background check and pre-employment drug/alcohol screening; Certification in area of expertise, as identified by the City, such as Certified Pool Operator; Veteran's preference points are acknowledged in the City's hiring process. Also mention that City of Watertown's Personnel Policy etc. That's more info but maybe not a requirement. We'll include as list. - Skills: Not explicitly listed. Could infer from duties but not explicit. Better not to create Skills section if no specific content. - Benefits: none. - Pay: we have salary. - Schedule: we have schedule. Thus sections: About the role (maybe heading "About the role"), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. We need to use
for each section heading. Inside sections: use
for prose,
- for lists.
We must not repeat job title as heading, but we can include it in a
maybe before sections? Not required but could be part of About the role? Probably better to include a short
with job title and location? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". It doesn't forbid including it elsewhere. We could include a
but not needed. Safer to just start with About the role section. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties from Essential Functions list exactly as given (maybe as separate list items). The list currently is a long sentence with periods separating duties. We need to split into list items. The instruction: "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So we need to parse the duties into separate items.
Let's extract duties from the Essential Functions paragraph:
"Keeps restrooms clean and supplied with soap, towels, and paper supplies.
Sweeps, mops, and buffs floors in offices, hallways, and other facilities.
Washes windows, screens, walls, and light fixtures.
Empties garbage cans and other trash receptacles.
Dusts, cleans, and polishes furniture.
Shampoos rugs and does spot cleaning on carpeting.
Carries out routine tasks such as raising flag, assisting with deliveries, etc.
Makes minor repairs to the building, furniture, and equipment including filter changes, light bulbs, painting, patching drywall, battery replacements.
Cuts grass, trims shrubs, shovels and plows snow, de-ices sidewalks, and performs a variety of grounds maintenance tasks.
Secures buildings after hours and inspects building for security of building and assets.
Maintains inventory of cleaning and paper supplies.
Assists with training and orientation of new employees in assigned job duties, cleaning procedures, equipment use and safety practices.
Provides day to day work direction and coordination to part time cleaning staff, including assigning and prioritizing cleaning tasks, communicating expectations, providing instruction on proper cleaning procedures and safety practices, and monitoring completion and quality of assigned work.

Provides backup assistance to other department personnel as needed.
Must be able to work with Sensitive Security Information.
Reports to work for after hour needs, as assigned.
Consistent and punctual attendance for all scheduled shifts is required.
Other duties as assigned."
We need to keep all that.
Now qualifications list:
MINIMUM REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- High School Diploma or equivalent.
- One (1) year work experience in custodial services.
OTHER REQUIREMENTS:
- Must have experience running lawn and snow removal equipment.
- Must successfully pass background check and pre-employment drug/alcohol screening.

- The City of Watertown's Personnel Policy, including the City's policy on Nepotism, can be obtained at the City Hall, Human Resources Department or on our website at www.watertownsd.us. (This is more info, not a requirement per se but could be included as a note.)
- The City of Watertown does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age or disability in employment or the provision of services. EOE (Equal Opportunity Employer). This is boilerplate EEO; we should remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". So we should drop the EEO statement.
Thus we keep the policy note maybe as a
but not as a requirement list? It's substantive info about where to get policy. Could be included as a
under Qualifications. We'll create Qualifications section with
- for the requirements (minimum and other). The policy note can be a
. Pay section:
with salary details. Schedule section:
with schedule. Now About the role: Use the Position Summary paragraph. Let's craft HTML:

We should not include Benefits section. Check for any duplicate content: we have not included the job ID, posting date, etc. Those are minor metadata; we could optionally include them in a shortbut instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Could include a
with Job ID and Posted date. But not required. Safer to drop them as they are minor. However we might want to preserve all substantive information; posting date maybe not substantive? It's metadata. 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
at top with Job ID and Posted date. But not required. I'd include a short
after the role summary maybe? But we already have About the role. Could add a
Job ID: ... Posted September 15, 2026. However that might be considered minor metadata; it's okay to include as a short
. The instruction says "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
