We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the description. Key sections: - About the role: The description starts with "Description As a member of the Global Controls Team..." That's about role. Could be "About the role". We'll put that content. - Responsibilities: "Key job responsibilities" list. We'll extract bullet points. - Requirements: Basic Qualifications. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: maybe from responsibilities? Could list skills like troubleshooting, reading schematics, etc. But we need to include only if posting has real specific content. There's a "Skills" heading not explicitly present but we could infer from responsibilities? The instruction: use headings only when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" section; but we could still create a Skills section if we can extract skill statements from the text. However that might be considered inventing? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we create a Skills section, we would be grouping existing statements under a heading; that's not inventing new info, just reorganizing. It's allowed? The instruction says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So if we can gather specific skill statements from the posting, we can create a Skills section. The posting includes many skill-like statements: troubleshooting, maintaining BMS/EPMS, mentoring, managing projects, point-to-point checkouts, diagnostics, provisioning, installing sensors, reading schematics, supervising contractors, commissioning, creating red-lined docs, change management, factory witness tests, root cause analysis, safety, service activities, managing service agreements, material handling, etc. Those are responsibilities, not necessarily skills. But we could still put them under Responsibilities. Probably better to keep only sections that are explicitly present: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Basic Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Benefits: The posting mentions benefits: "Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance..., 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave." Also mentions sign-on payments and RSUs. So we have benefits content. Pay: "The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location." Then later: "USA, VA, MINERAL - 32.93 - 57.64 USD hourly". So we have pay range. Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's mention of "Ability to work non-standard hours and differing work rotations/shifts and overtime as required." That's about schedule. Could be considered schedule content. So we can include Schedule section with that statement. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for headings,
  • for lists,

    for prose. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. Let's craft sections:

    About the role

    As a member of the Global Controls Team, you will collaborate with highly motivated operators, engineers and technicians in the data center industry to maintain and optimize critical infrastructure systems. You will be responsible for troubleshooting and maintaining the Building Management System (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) while developing new processes and standards that drive innovation in the controls space. AWS data centers utilize sophisticated industrial control systems to automatically operate mechanical equipment, maintaining optimal temperature and pressure conditions throughout the facilities. These systems integrate and monitor multiple critical components, including generators, uninterruptible power sources, diesel generators, electrical switchgear, power distribution units, variable frequency drives, automatic and static transfer switches, air-cooled and water-cooled chillers, pumps, cooling towers, heat exchangers, Computer Room Air Handlers (CRAHs), and air economizers. Within this industrial control system infrastructure, the BMS serves as the primary control platform for all mechanical systems within the data center, while the EPMS functions as the primary monitoring platform for all electrical systems. This position offers the opportunity to work with technology in mission-critical environments while contributing to the reliability and efficiency of AWS's global infrastructure.

    Responsibilities

    • Primarily work in and support multiple data centers by deploying, servicing, and upgrading BMS and EPMS systems.
    • Mentor and train Facilities team members on the operation and control of BMS and EPMS systems.
    • Manage small to medium-sized projects and programs.
    • Perform point-to-point checkouts between field devices and controllers.
    • Perform first-line diagnostics, troubleshooting, and maintenance of programming code and hardware associated with BMS and EPMS in data centers.
    • Execute provisioning processes for servers, controllers, industrial PCs, and network configurations, including communication testing between third-party devices and controllers or servers.
    • Install, replace, configure, and calibrate sensors.
    • Read and interpret electrical schematics and control panel drawings with a basic understanding of closed-loop controls, field sensor scaling, and functions typically performed by industrial controllers.
    • Supervise low-voltage electrical contractors performing wiring and installation of field devices in compliance with AWS requirements.
    • Provide commissioning and systems-level testing support.
    • Create red-lined drawings and documentation of systems.
    • Follow change management processes to generate work requests and methods of procedures.
    • Participate in factory witness tests at vendor or panel builder facilities.
    • Perform root cause analysis during testing and commissioning.
    • Ensure personnel on site utilize proper safety methodology.
    • Perform service activities including monitoring and reviewing ticketing systems, conducting root cause analysis, and prioritizing tasks.
    • Actively manage service agreements including vendor labor scheduling, quality assurance, and financial invoice review.
    • Participate in material handling tasks such as lifting, carrying, or moving up to 50 lbs of equipment, and utilize OSHA-standard safety equipment including limited weight-bearing work platforms, ladders, step stools, and personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety harnesses.
    • Perform other tasks as assigned by manager.

    1+ years of experience working with low voltage controls, wiring, networking signals, electrical and mechanical systems, computers and operating systems.

    Ability to work non-standard hours and differing work rotations/shifts and overtime as required.

    Qualifications

    Associate's degree in related field

    4+ years of military experience

    International Society of Automation (ISA) Certified Controls System Technician (CCST) Level I or higher certification.

    Experience using common communication protocols (MQTT, BACnet, and/or MODBUS).

    Benefits

    Amazon offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave. The package also includes sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs).

    Pay

    The base salary range for this position is 32.93 – 57.64 USD hourly (USA, VA, MINERAL). Final compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and location, and includes sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs).

    Schedule

    Ability to work non-standard hours and differing work rotations/shifts and overtime as required.

    Check for duplication: The ability to work non-standard hours appears both in Requirements and Schedule. It's okay to have it in both? Might be duplication but we could keep only in Schedule and remove from Requirements to avoid duplication. However the requirement list includes that as a qualification; but we could keep it in Requirements as it's a requirement. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Duplicated lines: we should avoid duplicating the same sentence. The sentence appears in both sections; we could keep it only once, perhaps under Schedule, and remove from Requirements. But the requirement about ability to work non-standard hours is a requirement; but we could still keep it under Requirements as a requirement and not duplicate in Schedule. However Schedule section would then be empty if we remove that line. But we could keep Schedule with that line and remove from Requirements. Let's see if there is any other schedule info: none. So Schedule would be just that line. That's fine. Thus we remove the ability to work non-standard hours from Requirements. Now Requirements section will have three paragraphs: education/experience, basic understanding, low voltage experience. Check for any other duplicated lines: The "Ability to work non-standard hours..." appears also in the "Basic Qualifications" section originally. We'll remove it. Now ensure we haven't included any boilerplate like "Amazon is an equal opportunity employer". We removed that. Check for any mention of "EEO" etc: removed. Check for any mention of "Job ID" etc: removed. Check for any mention of "Company - Amazon Data Services, Inc.": we could keep as 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 paragraph for company and location maybe. But we already have location in Pay. The company name could be included in About the role? Not necessary. We could add a short p:

    Company: Amazon Data Services, Inc.

    but that's minor metadata. The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. We could drop it. It's not essential. Let's drop it. Now ensure we haven't missed any substantive info: The "A day in the life" section contains narrative about role; we could incorporate that into About the role or Responsibilities. It's substantive but we already have About the role covering similar. We could add a paragraph about day in the life under About the role. Let's incorporate that content: "As a Data Center Controls Technician, your primary customers are Data Center Engineering Operations (DCEO), who rely on you to keep Building Management Systems (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) healthy and operational. On a given day, you are the boots on the ground solving problems that directly impact data center availability
