Director of Estimating
for each heading only if there is real content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Company Overview: description of MasTec etc. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Overview Company Overview" maybe about company. Could be "About the role" but we have "Position Summary". Could treat "About the role" as position summary. Or we could have "About the role" section containing Position Summary and maybe Company Overview? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can decide which sections have content.
We have:
- Position Summary (Director of Estimating reports to Senior Director...). That's about the role.
- Responsibilities: big list under ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS with subcategories Planning, Operations, Risk Management, Supervisory.
- Qualifications: EDUCATION AND WORK EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS: Bachelor's degree..., 10-15 years experience..., etc.
- Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities Required: list of skills.
- Physical Demands: maybe not needed as separate heading; could be part of Requirements? But we have no specific heading for Physical Demands; we could include under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably under Requirements.
- Hours: standard full-time 40-hour schedule Monday-Friday.
- Travel: 25% - 50%.
- Pay: Compensation $225,000 - $245,000 / year, commensurate with experience (but we must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience"? Actually we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state compensation range. However the phrase "commensurate with experience" is considered filler? The instruction: never emit a 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 the posting actually states them. It says we should not create Pay section if the content is just filler like "commensurate with experience". But we have actual numbers plus that phrase. The phrase is filler but we have real numbers. Should we include the range and maybe omit the phrase? We must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the compensation range. The phrase "commensurate with experience" is not substantive? It's basically saying it's based on experience, but we already have range. Might be considered filler but we could keep it as part of the sentence? The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. It doesn't say we cannot include filler within a paragraph; just that we shouldn't have a heading with only filler. So we can include the sentence as is.
- Benefits: list under "What's In It For You" with subheadings Financial Wellbeing, Health & Wellness, Family & Lifestyle, Planning for the Unexpected. That's benefits.
- Schedule: we have HOURS: standard full-time 40-hour schedule Monday-Friday. Also TRAVEL: 25% - 50% (travel is not schedule but could be separate). Schedule section could include hours and maybe travel? The instruction: use heading Schedule only if posting actually states them. It does state hours. So we can have Schedule section with that.
- Pay: we have compensation range.
- Benefits: we have details.
- Skills: we have Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities Required list.
- Requirements: could combine Education and Work Experience plus Physical Demands? The instruction: Use headings as examples; we can decide which to include. We have Qualifications (education/experience) and Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (skills). Could treat Qualifications as education/experience, Skills as abilities. Requirements maybe not needed separately. But we have "Qualifications" heading in the posting: "EDUCATION AND WORK EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS:" and "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities Required". So we could map:
- Qualifications: education and work experience.
- Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities.
- Requirements: maybe physical demands and hours? But we already have Schedule for hours, and Physical Demands could be part of Requirements? However we could also not have a Requirements section if we think it's redundant. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine physical demands into Qualifications or Skills? Probably better to have a Requirements section for physical demands and maybe other mandatory requirements (like ability to lift 20 lbs). But we also have hours and travel; those go to Schedule.
Thus sections:
- About the role (Position Summary + Company Overview? Could include company overview as part of about the role). We'll put Position Summary there.
- Responsibilities
- Qualifications (education/experience)
- Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities)
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule (hours)
We could also include Travel under Schedule or separate? Travel is not schedule but could be part of Schedule? Might be better to include Travel under Schedule as well (since it's about time allocation). We'll include travel in Schedule.
Now we need to strip boilerplate: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to remove the EEO statement, accessibility, disclaimer about scam, etc. Also remove "Position may be subject to pre-employment screening..." etc. Also remove "Accessibility: If you need accommodation..." etc. Also remove "Due to the high volume of applications..." etc. Also remove "MasTec, Inc. is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "Disclaimer: MasTec and our Subsidiaries will never ask prospective employees..." etc. Also remove "MasTec Clean Energy & Infrastructure and our subsidiaries do not work with any third-party recruiters..." etc.
Also remove duplicated lines: maybe some repeated sentences.
We need to preserve all substantive information: company overview, position summary, responsibilities (all bullet points), qualifications (education/experience), skills list, benefits details, pay range, schedule (hours, travel). Also physical demands? Might be considered substantive; we should include it somewhere. Could add a short
under Requirements or Qualifications? Since we don't have a Requirements section, we could add a
under Qualifications after education/experience: "Physical demands: prolonged sitting at a desk and working at a computer; must be able to lift up to 20 pounds at times." That preserves it. Now we need to format using
headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We must not include / or markdown.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine Company Overview and Position Summary.
Company Overview paragraph: "The Name operating group/Company Name is part of the MasTec Clean Energy & Infrastructure (CE&I) business segment. The CE&I segment generates over $4.5 billion in annual revenue, providing construction services across our renewables, industrial, infrastructure, and general building operating groups. Sustainability and safety are foundational to our culture and influence everything we do. MasTec, a minority-owned Fortune 500 company, has shaped the construction industry for more than 90 years. With over 35,000 employees and 400 offices nationwide, we provide flexibility and career growth in dynamic work environments. Join one of the largest construction firms in the country (Engineering News-Record [ENR]: #1 in Power, #16 Top 50 Domestic Heavy Contractors, #13 Transportation Contractor)."
Position Summary: "The Director of Estimating reports to the Senior Director of Estimating and will be responsible for estimates within their Service Line. The Director of Estimating is responsible for assisting the Sr Director of Estimating to oversee the company’s estimating function. In this role the Director helps develop policies and procedures related to the bid process and manages the process to gain final approval for submission of bids and proposals. Manages a portion of the estimating staff to ensure that bids are created, reviewed, and closed out in a timely manner. The Director of Estimating works closely with the Operations Directors to ensure that operational needs are included in the bid approach. Expected travel is between 25% - 50%."
We could merge travel into schedule later; but it's okay to keep in About the role? Might duplicate. Better to keep travel in Schedule section. So we can remove travel from About the role and put in Schedule.
Thus About the role will have company overview + position summary (without travel). We'll keep position summary without travel sentence.
