Engineering Program Manager
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So drop the link line.
We need to include location note maybe as a short p.
Let's extract each piece.
About the role: The culture paragraph: "Discover the Culture at the Kansas Turnpike Authority The Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA) isn't just about roads; we're a self-funded team dedicated to keeping Kansas moving forward. We take care of 236 miles of crucial roadway, connecting communities from the Oklahoma border all the way to Kansas City. Join us, and you'll be part of a team that provides a safe, reliable, and customer-valued transportation system."
We could keep that as About the role.
Responsibilities: The paragraph after "Be Part of Transportation Innovation: Engineering Program Manager". Actually that sentence includes title but we can ignore title. The paragraph: "As a key member of KTA's Engineering team, the Engineering Program Manager helps shape and maintain the infrastructure that keeps travelers moving safely and efficiently across Kansas. Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you'll lead a diverse portfolio of design and construction projects from planning through completion, balancing technical expertise, project management and stakeholder collaboration. You'll oversee project development, construction administration, permitting, quality assurance and regulatory compliance while coordinating with contractors, consultants, government agencies, and utility partners. From pavement management and bridge inspection programs to roadway and facility improvements, you'll play a critical role in delivering projects to support KTA's long-term success."
We'll keep that.
Qualifications: We'll combine:
- Required Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities list (bullet points)
- Preferred Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (maybe also list)
- Required Education and Experience
- Certification, License, Registration
- Other Requirements (travel, hours, etc)
We need to preserve all detail; we should not lose any.
Let's extract each bullet.
Required Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities (the text after that heading):
"Extensive knowledge of civil engineering practices, methods and materials used in design and construction of projects, including highway, bridge and road design.
Knowledge of environmental and other regulatory requirements.
Strong project management skills.
Ability to manage and de-escalate conflicts.
Ability to administer engineering projects from conception through the design and construction.
Understanding of theory and design of structures and highways.
Ability to prepare and read plans and specifications.
Ability to use engineering tools and drafting equipment and programs.
Excellent communication and public speaking skills (verbal and written).
Ability to negotiate with and persuade others.
Ability to use small hand tools, shovel, level, tape, wheel, rod and other surveying/measuring equipment.
Proficient in use of computers with Microsoft Windows and Office Suite and bridge and road design software and project management and inspection software.
Familiar with GIS and mapping software.
Familiar with general office equipment, telephones, printers, etc."
Preferred Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:
"Experience with CAD software (Microstation)
Survey equipment"
Required Education and Experience:
"Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or related degree.
Four years' experience in construction and design of civil engineering projects.
Extensive project management experience."
Certification, License, Registration:
"State of Kansas Professional Engineering license (required)
Required continuing education to maintain licensure in good standing
Valid Driver's License"
Other Requirements:
"Frequent daily travel (occasional overnight).
Occasional out-of-state travel to attend conferences and meetings.
Occasional non-standard work hours to accommodate work meetings, construction in non-peak travel times, and to respond to incidents involving KTA infrastructure damage.
Varied work schedule (on call 24/7).
Work occasional holidays."
We could keep Other Requirements as part of Qualifications or maybe separate Schedule section. Since Schedule section is about work schedule, we could pull out schedule info: "Varied work schedule (on call 24/7). Work occasional holidays." plus maybe non-standard work hours, travel. But the instruction says include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state varied work schedule, on call 24/7, occasional holidays, non-standard work hours, travel. So we could make a Schedule section containing those details.
But we also have travel info; could be part of Schedule or Other Requirements. Since we already have a Schedule section, we can put schedule-related items there: varied work schedule, on call 24/7, occasional holidays, occasional non-standard work hours, frequent daily travel (occasional overnight), occasional out-of-state travel for conferences/meetings.
But we also have "Occasional non-standard work hours to accommodate work meetings, construction in non-peak travel times, and to respond to incidents involving KTA infrastructure damage." That's schedule.
Thus Schedule section: combine those.
Then Other Requirements maybe not needed if we moved travel/hours to Schedule. But there may be other "Other Requirements" like maybe none else. Actually the Other Requirements heading only contained those travel/hours items. So after moving them to Schedule, we may have no leftover Other Requirements. So we can drop Other Requirements section.
Thus Qualifications section will contain Required Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities; Preferred Knowledge, Skills and Abilities; Required Education and Experience; Certification, License, Registration.
We need to format as lists. Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So each bullet becomes
- . For prose we use
.
We need to decide if we want to split Required Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities into a list; Preferred into list; Education/Experience into list; Certification into list.
We could combine all into one big list but better to keep headings? The instruction only says use
for section headings; within sections we can have
or
- . It doesn't forbid subheadings. But we could just make a single list for all qualifications. However we need to preserve all detail; we can just put them all in one list; that's fine.
But we might want to separate into sub-sections for readability, but not required. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So having one Qualifications section is fine.
Thus Qualifications section:
Qualifications
