Entry-Level CMT Field Technician
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove navigation, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Content:
- Opening: "No experience necessary, paid training is provided, and we pay your certification fees! ECS Limited is offering a unique opportunity for a talented Construction Materials Testing (CMT) Field Technician to join our Sarasota team and advance in a dynamic work environment. No prior experience is needed, as you'll work under the guidance of experienced professionals to learn to safely perform a variety of tasks."
That's about the role.
Then "Responsibilities" heading appears in posting. Under it:
- Field Activities: Conduct observation, testing, and sampling of materials, including soils, aggregates, and concrete on construction materials testing project sites; Execute tasks based on project requirements under the guidance of senior technicians, staff professionals, and project managers.
- Testing Procedures: Conduct routine field and/or laboratory tests for soils, aggregates, and concrete using various methodologies and testing equipment following industry standards and compliance.
- Data Collection: Perform calculations and data reduction based on sampling, test results, and inspection; May assist with calculations, drafting, and other administrative duties as requested.
- Communication: Maintain daily communication with site contractors, fellow technicians, and project managers; Communicate changing site conditions and additional requested testing to supervisor; Attend project meetings as requested; Assist with organization of field equipment and notify supervisor of broken or missing equipment as needed.
- Training and Development: Receive training in ECS methodology for project observations, inspections, and testing; Document findings with precision in accordance with accepted engineering practices.
Then "Career Development" heading: "As Your Experience Grows, ECS Will Support you in enhancing your professional skills. Encourage participation in internal and external training programs and certification opportunities provided by organizations such as OSHA 10, ACI, ASNT, AWS, ICC, NICET, NRCA, RCI, various State DOTs, WACEL, and others, as appropriate."
Then "#TPA123" maybe job ID - we drop.
Then "Required Qualifications" heading: list:
- No experience required.
- High school diploma or GED.
- Must be able to lift a minimum of 85 pounds.
- Must have valid driver's license and insurance.
- Must have the ability to safely operate a motor vehicle and follow all local and state laws, road/driving regulations, and company policies.
- Willing to develop understanding of heavy construction safety, practices, and procedures.
- Willing to obtain knowledge of CMT principles and applications, as well as ASTM laboratory standards, leading to certifications in soils, concrete, and radiation safety.
- OSHA 10 certification may be required.
- Strong communication skills (speaking, reading, and writing).
- Ability to work effectively with contractors, peers, and supervisors.
Then "Military Qualifications" heading: "The following US Military ranks will qualify for this position IF they also meet the education and licenses requirements from the above section titled "Required Qualifications": E-4". This is a qualification but could be part of Qualifications section? Might be separate but we can include under Qualifications as a bullet.
Then company description: "ECS Group of Companies (ECS) was founded in 1988 with the goal to raise the standards of professional engineering consulting. Today, we are a leader in geotechnical, construction materials, environmental and building science + infrastructure consulting services. We are employee-owned with more than 3,200 employees in 125 offices and testing facilities coast to coast. ECS is currently ranked #60 in Engineering News-Record’s Top 500 Design Firms (April 2026), #148 in Engineering News-Record’s Top 200 Environmental Firms (October 2025) and #38 in Zweig Group’s Hot Firm List (June 2026). For additional information about ECS, visit: www.ecslimited.com."
That's about company; could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put company description under "About the role". Or maybe "About the role" includes description of role and company. We'll include that.
Then "ECS is an Equal Opportunity Employer. To learn more, click here." That's boilerplate EEO; remove.
Also "No experience necessary, paid training is provided, and we pay your certification fees!" is part of about role.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: include opening paragraph and company description maybe. Could also include career development? But career development could be under Benefits? Actually career development is about training and certification opportunities; could be under Benefits or Skills? The instruction says include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. There's mention of paid training, certification fees paid, training programs, certification opportunities. That's benefits. So we could have Benefits section: paid training, certification fees paid, participation in internal/external training programs, certification opportunities (list). Also maybe "Career Development" could be under Benefits.
- Responsibilities: as listed.
- Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications and Military Qualifications? The heading "Requirements" could be used for required qualifications. We'll put Required Qualifications and Military Qualifications under Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe we could separate "Qualifications" for preferred? But we have no separate preferred qualifications. Could combine with Requirements. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for sections only if there is real specific content. We could have both Requirements and Qualifications if we split. But we have only one set; maybe we put them under Requirements and skip Qualifications. Or we could put under Qualifications and skip Requirements. Which is more appropriate? The posting has "Required Qualifications". So we can use "Qualifications" heading for that. The instruction includes both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We could use "Qualifications" for the Required Qualifications list. And maybe "Requirements" for something else like physical requirements? But we have those in the list as well. Could split: Requirements: physical requirements (lift 85 lbs, driver's license, ability to operate vehicle, etc.) Qualifications: education, experience, certifications, communication skills, etc. But that's arbitrary. Safer to just use one heading: "Qualifications" and include all required qualifications. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. That's four sections.
Check if any Pay or Schedule specifics: none. So we omit those sections.
Now we need to format lists with - . For prose, use
.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
About the role:
- Opening: "No experience necessary, paid training is provided, and we pay your certification fees! ECS Limited is offering a unique opportunity for a talented Construction Materials Testing (CMT) Field Technician to join our Sarasota team and advance in a dynamic work environment. No prior experience is needed, as you'll work under the guidance of experienced professionals to learn to safely perform a variety of tasks."
- Company description: "ECS Group of Companies (ECS) was founded in 1988 with the goal to raise the standards of professional engineering consulting.

We could combine into one or two paragraphs. Keep as prose.
Responsibilities: list items.
We have bullet-like sentences separated by semicolons. We'll make each bullet a
- . The headings under Responsibilities: Field Activities, Testing Procedures, Data Collection, Communication, Training and Development. Could either keep as separate subheadings (but we only allowed
for section headings, not subheadings). We could keep them as part of the
- text. That's fine.
Thus Responsibilities
with - each bullet.
Let's list:
- Conduct observation, testing, and sampling of materials, including soils, aggregates, and concrete on construction materials testing project sites; Execute tasks based on project requirements under the guidance of senior technicians, staff professionals, and project managers.
- Conduct routine field and/or laboratory tests for soils, aggregates, and concrete using various methodologies and testing equipment following industry standards and compliance.

- Receive training in ECS methodology for project observations, inspections, and testing; Document findings with precision in accordance with accepted engineering practices.
Now Qualifications (Required Qualifications + Military Qualifications). We'll list each as
- .
Items:
- No experience required.
- High school diploma or GED.
- Must be able to lift a minimum of 85 pounds.
- Must have valid driver's license and insurance.
- Must have the ability to safely operate a motor vehicle and follow all local and state laws, road/driving regulations, and company policies.
- Willing to develop understanding of heavy construction safety, practices, and procedures.
- Willing to obtain knowledge of CMT principles and applications, as well as ASTM laboratory standards, leading to certifications in soils, concrete, and radiation safety.
- OSHA 10 certification may be required.
- Strong communication skills (speaking, reading, and writing).
- Ability to work effectively with contractors, peers, and supervisors.
- Military qualification: US Military rank E-4 qualifies if they also meet education and license requirements.
We could combine last as bullet: "US Military rank E-4 qualifies for this position if they also meet the education and license requirements."
Now Benefits: from posting: paid training, certification fees paid, participation in internal and external training programs and certification opportunities (list organizations). Also maybe "Career Development" mention.
Let's capture:
- Paid training is provided.
- Certification fees are paid.
- Encouragement to participate in internal and external training programs and certification opportunities provided by organizations such as OSHA 10, ACI, ASNT, AWS, ICC, NICET, NRCA, RCI, various State DOTs, WACEL, and others, as appropriate.
We could also include "Career Development: As your experience grows, ECS will support you in enhancing your professional skills." That's essentially same as benefits.
We'll make Benefits
with those bullets.
Now ensure we didn't include boilerplate: EEO, navigation, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. We removed "ECS is an Equal Opportunity Employer. To learn more, click here." Also removed "#TPA123". Also removed any duplicated lines (none). Also removed any "For additional information about ECS, visit: www.ecslimited.com." That's substantive? It's a URL for more info; it's part of company description; we can keep it as part of About the role paragraph.
Now output HTML fragment.
