Engineering Plans Reviewer
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content. Given posting includes: Date Posted, Department, Compensation, Hours, Deadline, To Apply Online (remove), Department/Location, FLSA Status, Classification (essential), Schedule description, Supervision Exercised/Received, General Purpose, Essential Duties And Responsibilities (list), Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Required (list), Environmental Conditions, Computer Equipment and Software requirements, Education and Experience Required, Pay Grade, etc. Also some boilerplate about job description etc (remove). Also City Departments list (remove). Also "To Apply Online" etc (remove). Also "Date Posted", "Hours", "Deadline" maybe minor metadata; we can fold into short p or drop. 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 date posted, department, compensation, hours, deadline maybe. We need sections: About the role (maybe General Purpose). Responsibilities (Essential Duties). Requirements (maybe Education and Experience Required). Qualifications (maybe Knowledge, Skills And Abilities? Actually Qualifications could be Education and Experience). Skills (maybe Knowledge, Skills And Abilities). Benefits (none given). Pay (Compensation Up to $59.12/hr). Schedule (Schedule description). Also maybe include "FLSA Status" etc as minor metadata. We must not create sections with placeholder text. So only create sections where we have substantive content. We have: - About the role: General Purpose of the Position: "The purpose of this position is to provide engineering plan review for commercial and residential development Site Improvement Permits and represent Public Works & Utilities on Development Review Committee and at Planning Commission meetings related to development review." - Responsibilities: Essential Duties And Responsibilities list (multiple bullet points). We'll put each as
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Environmental conditions is not a duty/requirement/benefit. Could be considered requirement? Might be okay to include as list under Responsibilities? Might be stretching. Better to incorporate them into a paragraph under Responsibilities or About the role? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep that info somewhere. We could add a
after Responsibilities describing environmental conditions and computer equipment. That's allowed as prose. Similarly, we have Supervision Exercised/Received, Classification, FLSA Status etc. Those are minor metadata; we can fold into a short
maybe under About the role or a separate metadata paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like "This job description in no way states..." etc. Remove. Also remove City Departments list. Now construct HTML. We'll start with a
for metadata: Date Posted, Department, Compensation, Hours, Deadline, Department/Location, FLSA Status, Classification, Supervision Received/Exercised maybe. But we should avoid too much detail; but we can include a short paragraph. Let's draft:
Posted Friday, September 18, 2026. Department: Public Works/Engineering (Public Works & Utilities / Engineering). Compensation: Up to $59.12/hr. Hours: Full Time. Deadline: Wednesday, September 23, 2026. FLSA Status: Non‑Exempt. Classification: Essential (may require hurricane/emergency response, 24‑hour call‑back). Supervision: Received from Engineering Manager, Assistant Manager, Associate Director, Director of Public Works and Utilities; no supervision exercised.
