Director of School Plant Operations - Provisional RB 26-129
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So no h3 with "Director of School Plant Operations". Use About the role heading maybe. We need to fold minor metadata like Job ID into short p or drop. The posting includes "RECRUITMENT BULLETIN #26-129" and date, address. We can drop or put in a short p at top maybe as metadata. But instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a short p with that info. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So remove the EEO statement at end, also remove the lines about application confirmation email etc. Also remove "Final filing date: Until Filled" maybe keep? It's not boilerplate; it's substantive. Could be included under maybe a section like "Application Info" but we don't have heading for that. Could include as a short p. We need to preserve all substantive info: residency requirement, location, salary, distinguishing features, typical work activities, knowledge/skills/abilities, minimum qualifications, special requirement. Let's structure:

Schedule
only if present; not present, so omit. Benefits: not present, omit. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". In the knowledge section there is "Physical condition commensurate with the duties of the position." That's a phrase but it's part of the list; we should keep it as it's substantive? It's a generic phrase but it's part of the posting. 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 not to create a section if the content is just filler. But here the phrase appears inside a list item; it's not a section heading with only filler. So we can keep it. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all bullet points. Let's extract typical work activities list from the posting: "Supervises all cleaning and custodial activities and applies the use of “green” cleaning technology, equipment, materials, and cleaning agents" "schedules work assignments for staff personnel" "Oversees all maintenance and repair work on boilers and related heating and/or electrical equipment, including elevators and grounds equipment" "Oversees and plans the training of all building engineers and support staff on the district-wide energy management for the control of boilers, ventilation systems, and lighting systems" "coordinates with outside vendor to establish training programs for staff in the use of the computer-driven energy management system" "Advises stationary engineers regarding the operation of heating plant and auxiliary equipment" "works with outside vendors and suppliers to assure proper training of all boiler operators on the latest boiler technology and operation of new boiler systems" "Works closely with the Director of Building Health and Safety and Senior Chemist to ensure chemical treatment programs for boilers, pools, and air conditioning equipment are in place and fully compliant with all regulatory agencies" "Coordinates and consults with vendors for repair jobs in emergencies" "Works with security staff and School engineers in instances of school break-ins" "Prepares all budget estimates relating to plant operations including engineer-custodian salary and contracts, janitorial supplies and equipment, burner maintenance service and elevator maintenance service, grounds maintenance and equipment" "checks monthly operating reports for excessive costs and investigates unusual situations" "Coordinates all school moves and operating group relocation" "works with internal staff and temporary personnel to facilitate district relocation" "Reviews all accident reports received from engineers to determine seriousness" "Prepares and maintains records and report son all related issues o f plant operations, maintenance, security, accidents, etc." "Schedules the use of school facilities and district athletic fields" "Performs related duties as required."

The City of Buffalo Civil Service does require tribal enrollment or community recognition as a Native American.)" Location: "LOCATION: 406 City Hall / Service Center" Salary: "SALARY: $95,122 - $114,897" Now we need to output HTML fragment. We'll start with a short p for metadata: maybe include Recruitment Bulletin #26-129 – September 23, 2026 – Buffalo Board of Education Office of Talent Management. Then h3 About the role: paragraph summarizing position, location, residency requirement. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading, but we can mention it in paragraph.
