We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: DUTIES, SALARY (maybe Pay), REQUIREMENTS, NOTES? The instructions: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content. Remove boilerplate etc. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to extract duties, salary info, requirements, notes (maybe process notes). Also maybe selection process? But we should only include sections with real content. The posting includes DUTIES (multiple paragraphs), SALARY info (multiple ranges), REQUIREMENTS/MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS, PROCESS NOTES (lots of details), WHERE TO APPLY & APPLICATION DEADLINE (but we should remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop WHERE TO APPLY & APPLICATION DEADLINE, also SELECTION PROCESS? That might be considered part of process but maybe we keep as part of notes? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove application instructions (where to apply, deadline). Also selection process maybe considered part of process but not exactly application instructions; but it's part of examination details. Might be considered substantive? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep selection process details as they are substantive. However they might be considered part of "process notes". We could combine into a "Selection Process" section? But allowed headings list includes: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No explicit "Selection Process". But we could put under "Requirements" or "Qualifications"? Better to keep as a section with heading maybe "Process" but not in allowed list? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content. Remove boilerplate etc. Preserve all substantive info.

But we could put under "Requirements" or "Qualifications"? Better to keep as a section with heading maybe "Process" but not in allowed list? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should map content to those headings. DUTIES -> Responsibilities. Salary -> Pay. Requirements -> Requirements (or Qualifications). Process notes maybe go under Requirements? But they are more about application process; maybe we can put under "Requirements" as they are qualifications/process. However we could also create a "Qualifications" section for education/license etc. The posting has REQUIREMENT(S)/MINIMUM QUALIFICATION(S) and then PROCESS NOTES. So we could have two sections: Requirements (for education) and Qualifications (for process notes). But the examples list both Requirements and Qualifications as separate headings. So we can use both.
Thus:
Responsibilities
with duties paragraph(s).
Pay
with salary info.
Requirements
with graduation requirement.
Qualifications
with process notes (college seniors, driver license, etc). Also maybe include selection process? Could be part of Qualifications? Might be too much. But we can include selection process as part of Qualifications? Or maybe we add a separate section "Schedule"? Not present. Benefits? Not present. So we will not include Benefits or Schedule.
We must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include the salary ranges exactly as given. Also include notes about current salary range subject to change, confirm starting salary, reciprocity link. Also include notes about appointment to lower pay grade etc. Also include notes about advancement etc. Also include notes about disability accommodation etc. Also include notes about benefits commencement etc. Also include EEO statement? That is boilerplate; we should remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The EEO statement at end: "The City of Los Angeles does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, creed, color, ancestry, medical condition (cancer), or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome." That's EEO boilerplate; should be removed. Also the disability accommodation note is substantive? It says "As a covered entity under the Fair Employment and Housing Act and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the City of Los Angeles does not discriminate on the basis of disability and upon request, will provide reasonable accommodations..." That's also EEO but maybe considered substantive? It's about accommodation process; could be kept? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That likely includes that statement. So we should remove the disability accommodation paragraph as well? It's about accommodation; but it's still EEO. Safer to remove it. Also remove the notice about benefits commencement? That is substantive about benefits; but we are not including Benefits section because we don't have explicit benefits info besides that notice. The notice says employee benefit coverage will commence approx six weeks after appointment. That's substantive about benefits. Could be included under Benefits heading. But we have no explicit benefits list; but we could create Benefits section with that notice. However the instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting does have that notice about benefits commencement. So we could include Benefits section with that paragraph. Also the note about Disaster Service Workers is substantive? Might be considered boilerplate? It's a requirement; maybe keep under Qualifications? But it's a condition of employment. Could be included under Qualifications.
We need to decide what to keep and what to drop as boilerplate. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove EEO statements, legal disclaimers, etc. The benefits commencement notice is not EEO; it's about benefits. So we keep it.
The Disaster Service Workers statement: "All City employees are required to be Disaster Service Workers." That's a condition; not EEO; keep.
The notice about medical examination prior to appointment: keep.
The notice about final average score 70%: keep.
The notice about protests: keep.
The notice about eligibility list: keep.
The notice about reciprocity link: keep.
The note about current salary range subject to change: keep.
The note about confirming starting salary: keep.
The note about appointments to temporary training positions: keep.
The note about advancement: keep.
The note about travel: keep.
The note about selection process details: keep.
Thus we need to preserve all that.
Now we need to format into HTML with headings and - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We have duties: a paragraph describing duties. Could be turned into
. If there are multiple sentences, still
. If there are multiple distinct duties separated by semicolons, we could make a list. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are a sentence with many semicolons; could be considered a list. Safer to make a
- for each duty clause separated by semicolon. Let's parse duties:
"An Engineering Geologist Associate performs professional engineering geological investigations and studies in connection with the design and construction of tracts, dams, reservoirs, tank sites, buildings, streets and highways, tunnels, electric power generating plants, transmission towers, distributing stations and other structures; makes precise geological maps; classifies rock and soil samples; investigates water-bearing strata and geothermal prospects, geologic hazards including landslides, and technical geologic aspects of legal questions; applies geologic standards to evaluate underground conditions and environmental aspects of sites and the cleanup of underground contamination; and applies hydrogeologic standards to characterize groundwater and hydrogeologic conditions of sites."
We can split by semicolon into items:
1. performs professional engineering geological investigations and studies in connection with the design and construction of tracts, dams, reservoirs, tank sites, buildings, streets and highways, tunnels, electric power generating plants, transmission towers, distributing stations and other structures
2. makes precise geological maps
3. classifies rock and soil samples
4. investigates water-bearing strata and geothermal prospects, geologic hazards including landslides, and technical geologic aspects of legal questions
5. applies geologic standards to evaluate underground conditions and environmental aspects of sites and the cleanup of underground contamination
6. applies hydrogeologic standards to characterize groundwater and hydrogeologic conditions of sites
We'll make
- for each.
Requirements: Graduation from an accredited four-year college or university with a degree in geology or engineering geology. That's a single requirement; could be
or
- . Since it's a list of requirements (maybe just one), we can use
- .
Qualifications: Process notes includes many items: college seniors, driver license, DMV record, disqualification notice, school name, location, degree, major, accreditation, attaching copy of degree, appointments to temporary training positions, advancement requirements, travel outside Southern California, selection process details (interview weight, competencies, interview dates, etc), medical examination, final average score, protests, eligibility list, disability accommodation (maybe removed), benefits commencement, disaster service workers, EEO statement (remove). We need to keep all substantive info but not EEO.
We need to decide how to structure Qualifications section. Could be a mix of
and
- . Since many items are separate notes, we can make a
- for each distinct note.
Let's list process notes items:
- College seniors who are within six months of graduation from an accredited college or university at the time of filing may apply. However, candidates cannot be appointed until they submit proof of having received their degree. Applicants must list their anticipated graduation date in the Education section of the on-line application.
- As a condition of employment, a valid Class C driver’s license issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is required at the time of appointment.
- Applicants will be disqualified or deemed ineligible for hire if their DMV record reflects three or more moving violations and/or at-fault accidents, or a conviction of a major moving violation within the last 36 months in any state of jurisdiction.
- The City of Los Angeles reserves the right to issue a notice of disqualification or ineligibility at any time before a final job offer is extended.
- Applicants must list their school name and location, type of degree earned and major in the Education Section of the application.
- Applicants who fail to provide this information on their application will not be considered further in this examination and their applications will not be processed.
- Please note that qualifying education must be from a school accredited by a City of Los Angeles recognized agency. A list of approved accrediting agencies can be found at https://personnel.lacity.gov/Accredited%20Institutions%2008-21-08.pdf .
- Candidates completing the examination process will be contacted by the Personnel Department to provide required proof of qualifying degree. Applicants who wish to expedite this process may attach a copy of their qualifying degree to their on-line application at the time of filing in the Attachments section.
- Appointments to Engineering Geologist Associate I positions will be made to temporary training positions in accordance with Section 5.30 of the Rules of the Board of Civil Service Commissioners.
- Employees with two years of full-time paid City experience as an Engineering Geologist Associate I will advance to the Engineering Geologist Associate II level.
- Advancement to Engineering Geologist Associate III positions requires two years of full-time paid, professional experience at the level of Engineering Geologist Associate II and registration as a Professional Geologist with the California State Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists.
- Engineering Geologist Associate III positions in the Department of Water and Power require possession of both Professional Geologist and Certified Engineering Geologist licenses issued by the California State Board for Professional Engineers,
