Engineer Assistant, Level 2 (Provisional)
or drop it. The 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 paragraph with metadata like "Contract Title: Engineer Assistant; FLSA Exempt; Campus: LaGuardia Community College". But we need to preserve all substantive information. Substantive info includes duties, responsibilities, qualifications, preferred qualifications, compensation, benefits. Also campus specific information about LaGuardia is substantive (description of college). So we need to include that. We must not repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it). So we should not have a heading for "Engineer Assistant". Use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for Responsibilities (list). We have Minimum Qualifications (requirements). We have Other Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications (skills). We have Compensation (Pay). We have Benefits. We have Campus Specific Information (maybe About the role or About the organization). Could be "About the role" or "About the organization". The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe includes general duties and campus info). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (minimum qualifications). Qualifications (maybe other qualifications). Skills (preferred qualifications). Benefits. Pay. Schedule? No schedule info given, so omit Schedule section.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So omit Schedule.
We must preserve all substantive information: general duties description (two assignment levels). That is substantive. Should we put that under About the role? Yes.
We need to format lists with - . For prose use
.
We must not include application instructions, closing date, etc.
We must not include EEO boilerplate.
We must not duplicate lines.
Let's extract content:
General Duties: two assignment levels with details.
We can summarize as prose but must preserve all detail, not summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details. Could be a long paragraph but we can break into
for each assignment level.
Responsibilities: after "Reporting to the Director of Campus Facilities, the successful candidate will assist with the following responsibilities:" then list:
- Prepare designs, specifications, and cost estimation for in-house facilities improvement and alteration projects;
- Coordinate and review design for Capital Improvement Program projects;
- Coordinate field construction and perform construction quality audit;
- Engage in complex research, planning investigation, studies, or examinations;
- Prepare, maintain and file reference materials and project drawings;
- Coordinate Facilities' infrastructure projects from conception to commissioning on critical building systems, (e.g., boilers, chillers, mechanical systems, HVAC/distribution systems, structural, UPS, electrical, plumbing, BMS/controls logic, and fire/life-safety.)
- Assist all phases of capital & internal projects;
- Conduct equipment inspections; support commissioning and test activities;
- Assist with cost estimating and budget tracking;
- Preparing technical reports;
- Managing submittals and closeout documentation.
We need to keep each as list item.
Minimum Qualifications: "A baccalaureate degree in engineering from an accredited college and two years of full-time experience in professional engineering work; OR Education and/or experience equivalent to 1 above."
Other Qualifications: maybe none? Actually after Minimum Qualifications there is "Other Qualifications" heading then "PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS". The "Other Qualifications" maybe empty? It just says "Other Qualifications" then line break then "PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS". So we can treat "Other Qualifications" as none; we can skip.
Preferred Qualifications: list of items:
- Minimum 3-4 years in facilities engineering, construction/project management and/or building operations.
- Demonstrated experience with the following: HVAC fundamentals (air handling units, chillers, boilers, cooling towers, VAV systems); electrical distribution systems (transformers, switchgear, generators, UPS systems), plumbing and fire protection systems; building Automation Systems (BAS/BMS); energy management and sustainability concepts; equipment troubleshooting and root-cause analysis, understand preventive and predictive maintenance; HVAC Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB); technical review of MEP drawings/specs for design optimization, cost/schedule, compliance, constructability, and O&M.
- Experience with the following software: AutoCAD, Bluebeam, Microsoft Excel (data analysis, equipment tracking, budgeting), basic knowledge data visualization tools building controls software and monitoring platforms.
- OSHA safety requirements.
- NFPA fire and life safety standards.
- Basic building codes NYC DOB, FDNY.
- Energy codes and sustainability standards.
- Lockout/Tagout procedures.
- Emergency response procedures.
- Experience working with Contractors.
We need to preserve all.
Compensation: "New Hire: $76,426* Incumbent: $86,359 This amount reflects a 13% salary suppression in effect for the first 24 months of employment only."
Benefits: paragraph about CUNY benefits.
Campus Specific Information: description of LaGuardia.
We also have "Founded in 1971..." etc. That's substantive.
We need to include that maybe under About the role or a separate section "About the institution". Since allowed headings include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put campus info under About the role (or maybe a separate "About the organization" but not in list). Better to put under About the role.
Thus sections:
About the role
containing general duties description and campus info.
Responsibilities
with ul.
Requirements
with minimum qualifications.
Skills
with preferred qualifications (maybe also include other qualifications if any). Could also include "Qualifications" heading for minimum qualifications and "Skills" for preferred. But we already used Requirements for minimum qualifications. We could also have Qualifications for other qualifications (none). But we can just put preferred under Skills.
Benefits
with benefits paragraph.
Pay
with compensation.
We must not include schedule.
Now ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Good.
We must not include any boilerplate like "EEO/AA/Vet/Disability Employer." etc.
We must not include "How To Apply", "CLOSING DATE", etc.
We must not include "Job ID", "Location", "Job Type".
We must not include "FLSA Exempt"? Might be considered metadata; we could fold into a short paragraph under About the role maybe. But it's minor; we could drop it. The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short or drop it. So we can drop FLSA Exempt.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We need to ensure proper nesting:
About the role
then ... maybe multiple paragraphs.
We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed.
Let's craft.
About the role paragraph: combine general duties and campus info.
General duties: two assignment levels description. We'll keep as prose maybe two paragraphs.
Campus info: paragraph.
We'll output:

Located at LaGuardia Community College (founded 1971 in Long Island City, Queens), one of seven community colleges of the City University of New York (CUNY). LaGuardia offers more than sixty associate degree programs and more than fifty workforce training, ESOL, GED, and pre‑college programs. In 2023 it served approximately 24,000 students; over one‑third of degree‑seeking students are foreign‑born (136 countries, 43 heritage languages); 60 % are first‑generation college students; virtually all students are ethnic minorities (89 %); 58 % are women; 27 % are over age 25; 46 % of associate degree students are Hispanic. Graduates typically transfer to four‑year colleges (mostly within CUNY) to complete baccalaureate degrees, or enter the workforce from career programs such as Nursing, Computer Technology, and Veterinary Technology. LaGuardia ranked fifth among U.S. community colleges in economic mobility (Stanford 2017; Brookings 2020).
