Deputy Director, Infrastructure Planning (Facilities)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put minor metadata into short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them.
We need to parse the posting for substantive content.
Let's extract sections:
- About the role / Job Summary: The paragraph starting "At the MBTA, we envision..." includes mission, values, etc. Also "Job Summary The Deputy Director of Infrastructure Planning will oversee..." That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: The "Duties & Responsibilities" section with many bullet-like sentences. We need to turn them into
- .
- Requirements / Qualifications: "Minimum Requirements & Qualifications" includes bullet-like list: Bachelor's degree, 5 years experience, 3 years leadership, etc. Also "Substitutions" and "Preferred Experience & Skills". Those could be under Qualifications or Requirements.
- Skills: Could be separate but we can combine.
- Benefits, Pay, Schedule: Not present. So we should not include those sections.
- Also there is "Job Conditions" which includes many statements about ability to work, etc. Those could be under Requirements or Qualifications? Might be considered "Job Conditions" but not a standard heading; we could put under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions". But the instruction says use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content to those headings. If something doesn't fit, we could still include under Requirements or Qualifications.
We need to avoid duplication. Also need to remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, disclaimers, etc. The posting includes many disclaimer sections at end: "Disclaimers And Definitions", "General Disclaimer", "Application Completion", etc. Those should be removed.
Also "Job Conditions" includes many ability statements; some are boilerplate but they are substantive? They are typical job conditions; but they might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The Job Conditions section is not exactly legal boilerplate; it's about ability to work, etc. Might be considered part of requirements. We'll keep them under Requirements or Qualifications.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all the details from the posting, except the boilerplate we remove.
Thus we need to extract all substantive sentences and preserve them.
Let's go through the posting and pull out substantive content.
First paragraph: "At the MBTA, we envision a thriving region enabled by a best-in-class transit system. Our mission is to serve the public by providing safe, reliable, and accessible transportation. MBTA’s core values are built around safety, service, equity, sustainability, culture, and accessibility, and each employee that works for the MBTA performs their roles based on our vision, mission, and values. This includes attendance, participation, and contribution in local safety committee meetings as needed."
That's substantive.
Next: "Job Summary The Deputy Director of Infrastructure Planning will oversee a team managing the development of facilities projects and initiatives from inception through conceptual design for the purpose of evaluating potential project purpose and need and finalizing the project program before advancing into final design and construction to be carried out under the direction of the Capital Delivery Department. The Deputy Director may lead major efforts directly. In addition to the portfolio of general employee facilities and station pre-design efforts, the Deputy Director will also lead the MBTA’s Bus Facility Modernization program."
That's substantive.
Then "Duties & Responsibilities" heading followed by many sentences each starting with a verb. We'll turn each into
- .
List them:
- Responsible for leading the program and planning phase for bus maintenance facility projects.
- Manage a team of two to three project managers, who collectively have responsibility to:
- Manage projects through the programming/pre-design phase in accordance with the MBTA standards, manuals, policies, and procedures to meet the needs of the MBTA's needs.
- Identify project requirements with Operations, Safety, Environmental, and System-wide Accessibility and based on site conditions and documentation of issues
- Develop test fits and conceptual designs using Revit or AutoCAD to support program decision-making and site planning
- Identify project requirements and conduct project activities with outside agencies, abutters, utility companies, community groups, and other third parties affected by the project, as required.
- Develop project target budgets based on project scope, comparable examples, and other methods to support obtaining capital funds necessary to complete the project.
- Represent the department as the primary liaison with major internal clients for the group’s facilities work, including the Stations, Facilities & Structures department, Vehicle Maintenance, Engineering & Maintenance, Transportation, OPSS/Training, and Commuter Rail.
- Support leadership in conducting program funding oversight activities and coordinate with other departments, including Project Controls, Capital Finance and Capital Planning and Programming
- Collaborate and coordinate with Environmental, Real Estate and TOD departments, including supporting environmental review and property acquisition.
- Coordinate and participate in Project Design Group meetings for ongoing design projects including value engineering sessions, constructability reviews, and risk workshops, as required.
- Organize and prioritize workload of direct reports and be proactive in identifying project needs/requirements and support work assignments that are program specific, including management of consultants hired to support the overall program.
- Prepare for and make project presentations to represent the MBTA to elected officials, community groups, and others as required.
- Lead the procurement of consultants and contractors, as required, to support conceptual design efforts
- Manage multiple planning, design, engineering, architecture, and other technical consultants and consulting teams and contracts to carry out the requirements of each assignment completed on time, and on budget.
- Work closely with leadership in creating, planning, organizing, managing and overseeing capital programs related to the modernization/replacement of nine bus maintenance facilities.
- Responsible for updating the Bus Facility Design Guidelines.
- Support leadership in managing the development of and implementation of the department’s Bus Modernization Program (CIP) setting goals, objectives, policies and priorities.
- Respond to each inquiry, whether from a customer, vendor, or co-worker in a courteous and professional manner, consistent with the Authority's Customer Service Quality standard.
- Uphold the rights and interests of the Authority while building and maintaining an effective relationship with employees.
- Be an active and respectful member of the team.
- Ability to travel to satellite locations within MBTA service areas as needed.
- Perform related duties and projects as assigned.
- Additional responsibilities may include a focus on one or more departments or locations. See applicable addendum for department or location-specific functions.
- Supervision Team of Project Managers.
Note: Some of these are sub-bullets under "Manage a team of two to three project managers, who collectively have responsibility to:" We could keep them as nested list or just flat list. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nesting. We'll keep them as flat for simplicity, but we could preserve hierarchy. Probably fine to flatten.
Now "Minimum Requirements & Qualifications" section:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Planning, Business Administration, Architecture, or a related field from an accredited institution.
- Five (5) years of progressive experience in complex project management, planning, design or construction of commercial projects, or other large public transit or transportation planning infrastructure projects.
- Three (3) years of leadership or supervisory experience.
- Excellent organizational, analytical, confidentiality, multi-tasking, time management, and interpersonal skills.
- Working experience in Revit or equivalent design software
- Working experience in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint applications.
- Strong oral, written and interpersonal skills; effective organizational, analytical, and multitasking abilities.
- Strong people-management and leadership skills, with the ability to foster collaboration and drive employee engagement.
- Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information in an appropriate manner.
- Effectively communicate with customers, employees, contractors and vendors.
- Possess excellent customer service, conflict resolution, time management, communication, presentation and speaking skills
- The ability to travel to various MBTA worksites, offices and locations.
- Ability to supervise and work effectively with a diverse workforce.
Then "Substitutions":
- A master’s degree in a related subject substitutes for two (2) years of general experience.
- A nationally recognized certification, or statewide/professional certification in a related field substitutes for one year of experience.
Then "Preferred Experience & Skills":
- A Master's degree in Architecture, Planning, Engineering, or Construction Management from an accredited institution, and Six (6) or more years of experience in the management of public works projects (design and/or construction) or related experience in a supervisory capacity.
- Experience managing multiple projects with a construction cost of $20 million or over in a transit and or/design or construction environment.
- Strong project controls knowledge and ability to accurately evaluate cost and schedule.
- Familiarity with FTA, FRA, and MBTA rules and regulations regarding project delivery, environmental requirements and permitting.
- Registered Professional Engineer, Registered Architect, and/or Certified Construction Manager.
Then "Job Conditions": many ability statements. We'll treat them as part of Requirements or Qualifications. But we need to avoid duplication; many overlap with earlier requirements. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; if we omit them we lose detail. So we need to include them, maybe under a separate heading like "Working Conditions" but not in allowed list. Could we put them under Requirements? The heading list includes Requirements and Qualifications. We could split: Requirements = minimum requirements; Qualifications = preferred experience & skills; Skills = maybe skills. Job Conditions could be under Requirements as well, but might duplicate. However we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can include them as part of Requirements (maybe as additional bullets). Even if some overlap, it's okay to repeat? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does not forbid duplication. But better to avoid duplication if possible. However we need to keep all details; if we drop some we lose info. So we need to include them somewhere.
We could create a section "Job Conditions" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but not exclusive? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings for sections. It doesn't explicitly forbid other headings, but likely they want only those. Safer to stick to those headings. So we need to map Job Conditions content into one of those: maybe Requirements (since they are about ability to work). We'll include them under Requirements as additional bullets.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: The "Disclaimers And Definitions" etc. Also "Application Completion", "Application Deadlines", "Work Environment", "Work Eligibility", "Interviews", "Safety Sensitive Positions", "On-call or 24/7 Positions". Those are boilerplate/application instructions; we must remove them.
Also remove "See job description for role-specific requirements." etc.
Thus final HTML will have sections:
About the role
... (the paragraph about MB
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put minor metadata into short

Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
