We'll put that in .
Qualifications: Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications plus Background Check Requirements.
Required Qualifications:
- High school diploma, GED, or equivalent and basic knowledge of computer hardware and components AND 3+ years’ experience supporting IT equipment or related technology or related experience working with technical teams.
- 1+ year(s) experience directing, supervising, or managing others.
- Ability to work shifts, including shift assignments during non-standard business hours that may include evening, nighttime, weekends, and/or holidays
- Ability to work 12 hours shifts, including shift assignments during non-standard business hours that may include evening, nighttime, weekends, and/or holidays.
Note: The last two are similar; maybe duplicate. We'll keep both? They are essentially same; but we should not duplicate. The posting repeats ability to work shifts twice. We'll combine into one item: Ability to work shifts, including 12-hour shifts, during non-standard business hours (evening, nighttime, weekends, holidays). But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can keep both but they'd be duplicate. Better to keep one that captures both: Ability to work shifts, including 12-hour shifts, during non-standard business hours (evening, nighttime, weekends, holidays). That's summarizing but not losing detail. Might be okay. However instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Summarizing could be considered summarizing away detail? It's combining but not losing info. Might be acceptable. Safer to keep both as separate items even if similar. But that would be duplicate lines; they said remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate. So we will keep one item that captures both: Ability to work shifts, including 12-hour shifts, during non-standard business hours (evening, nighttime, weekends, holidays). That preserves the info.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Associate degree in Computer Science or related field and/or equivalent work experience.
- 4+ years’ experience supporting IT equipment or related technology.
- 3+ years’ experience working in a production, mission-critical 24x7x365 data center environment.
- Applicable certifications: Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) Foundation, ASICS/Inventory Control, CompTIA (A+, Server+, Network+), Basic Structure Cabling (BSC), Certified Data Center Professional (CDCP), Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), Six Sigma Green Belt.
- 2+ years’ experience leading diverse, technical, or IT workforce of up to ten employees.
Background Check Requirements:
- Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings: Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.
We'll include that as part of Qualifications maybe as a sub-list or separate
for 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 as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Microsoft is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "If you need assistance..." etc. Also remove "This position will be open for a minimum of 5 days..." maybe considered application instruction? It's about posting duration; might be considered application instruction? Probably remove. Also remove "Find additional benefits and pay information here: ..." maybe considered link; but we might keep pay info? The pay info is given: Data Center Technicians M3 - typical base pay range... That's pay info. So we should include Pay section with that info. Benefits: The posting mentions "Certain roles may be eligible for benefits and other compensation." That's vague; not specific. So we should not create Benefits section unless specific. It says "Certain roles may be eligible for benefits and other compensation." That's not specific; we should not create Benefits section. Schedule: The posting mentions ability to work shifts, 12 hour shifts, non-standard hours. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that content. Qualifications: There's Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We can combine into Qualifications section. Skills: maybe not explicit; but we could extract from qualifications? The instructions: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. There's no explicit Skills section separate; but we could put skills under Qualifications? Probably better to have Qualifications section covering required and preferred. Responsibilities: we have many responsibilities listed. So include Responsibilities. About the role: The overview paragraph(s) at start: "Overview As a Microsoft Data Center Technician (DCT) Manager, you will lead a team..." That's about the role. So include About the role. Pay: we have pay range. So include Pay. Schedule: shift info. So include Schedule. Qualifications: include required and preferred. Possibly also include "Background Check Requirements" maybe part of Qualifications? Could be separate but we can fold into Qualifications. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Background check is not minor metadata; it's a requirement. Could be part of Qualifications. We'll include it there. We must not repeat any duplicated lines. The responsibilities list has some duplicated lines? It appears each responsibility sentence is separate but some may be duplicated? We'll just list each unique responsibility as
under
About the role
. Responsibilities: list each bullet. The responsibilities section appears as a paragraph with many sentences separated by periods. We'll split into list items. Let's extract each responsibility sentence: - Delivering success through empowerment and accountability by modeling, coaching, and caring while promoting a positive and effective team culture. - Accountable for overall data center service compliance and quality. - Provide guidance on and holds team accountable for compliance with Data Center Services (DCS) business unit and service-level policies, procedures, deadlines, and service-change policies. - Ensures technicians are trained on procedures for installation, deployment, replacement, and post-execution quality check processes. - Verify post-execution quality checks have been performed appropriately by technicians and takes corrective action as needed. - Escalate issues through appropriate channels and follow up on issue resolution, sharing knowledge related to issue resolution with appropriate teams. - Review process changes to evaluate impact on service execution and share relevant information about change with stakeholders across functions and disciplines. - Lead team and triage meetings, prioritizing work across your team, and rebalance priorities to respond to changes. - Complete required safety training, conduct daily safety briefings, and participate in on-site safety committees. - Ensure technicians and vendor resources comply with all safety procedures (e.g., Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) usage, equipment use, lifting, electrical hazards, ladder/rolling stair use). - Promote a culture of safety and empower technicians to take action, speak up, and report safety concerns and/or incidents. - Has pride and a sense of accountability for the service quality, completeness, and resulting customer experience, displaying accountability and ownership of the data center facilities. - Embody our culture and values. We'll put each as. Could be a separate
