Entry Level GIS Technician
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. The posting includes: Responsibilities, Essential Skills (skills), Additional Skills & Qualifications (qualifications), Work Environment (maybe not needed), Job Type & Location (maybe location but not a heading), Pay And Benefits (pay and benefits), Workplace Type (maybe schedule? but not schedule). Also there is About Actalent (company description) but not needed? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can include sections: Responsibilities, Skills, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. Possibly also About the role? There's a job description paragraph at start: "This role focuses on performing detailed design work..." That could be "About the role". We'll include that as About the role
with a
About the role
with a. Also we have Work Environment maybe not needed. We'll omit sections like Schedule if not present. Pay And Benefits includes pay range and benefits list. We'll separate Pay and Benefits? The instruction says we can have Pay and Benefits sections separately if content exists. We have pay range and benefits list. We'll create
Pay
with pay range paragraph.Benefits
with list of benefits. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip the "About Actalent" section? It's company description but not boilerplate? It's not EEO etc. Might be considered substantive? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Actalent" is not those; it's company overview. Could keep? But we have limited sections; we could include asAbout the company
but not in allowed list. The instruction says use those headings for sections; but we could still include other headings? It says "Usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are examples; we could still use other headings but better to stick to those. The company description may be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. Might be okay to omit as not required. The job description paragraph at start is about the role; we can use that for About the role. Thus sections: - About the role: paragraph from "This role focuses on performing detailed design work..." up to "...and schedule commitments." - Responsibilities: list each responsibility as
Work Environment
though not in examples but still a heading. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use for section headings (e.g. ...)". Likely they expect only those headings. However, to preserve all substantive info, we could fold work environment details into About the role or Responsibilities? Could add a sentence about work environment in About the role paragraph. That would preserve info without new heading. Let's incorporate: after the role description, we can add "This position is primarily office-based and involves working with design and engineering software such as AutoCAD, CAD/CADD systems, and GIS tools. The role may require occasional field visits to collect on-site data or observe equipment performance. Once fully trained, there is an opportunity for flexible hours and the possibility to work from home up to two days per week, subject to business needs and leadership discretion. The work environment emphasizes collaboration with engineers and other technical professionals in a structured, professional setting." That's from Work Environment. Also "Job Type & Location This is a Contract to Hire position based out of Columbus, OH." and "Workplace Type This is a fully onsite position in Columbus,OH." Might be redundant. We'll include location and job type in About the role as well.
We must not duplicate lines. Ensure we don't repeat same info.
Let's extract all substantive pieces:
Job description paragraph: "This role focuses on performing detailed design work for utility and distribution projects, including the preparation of complex drawings, specifications, and cost estimates for review and approval by a responsible engineer. Will supports a range of engineering disciplines and ensures that designs align with industry standards, project requirements, and schedule commitments."
Note: "Will supports" grammar but keep as is.
Responsibilities list (each sentence):
- Prepare detailed manual or computer-assisted design and construction drawings of a complex nature with a high level of accuracy and neatness.
- Develop and update design documents in accordance with applicable drawings, specifications, and industry and company standards for assigned work.
- Participate in the preparation of cost estimates, specifications, technical evaluations, and material requisitions to support project planning and execution.
- Assist in the preparation of engineering calculations to support design decisions and ensure compliance with technical requirements.
- Coordinate equipment deliveries and design development activities to align with project schedules and milestones.
- Acquire on-site field data to support design activities, verify existing conditions, and monitor or evaluate equipment performance as needed.
- Apply a thorough understanding of practices and procedures in one or more technical areas such as electrical engineering, distribution engineering, substation design, transmission design, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, instrumentation and control, protective relaying, surveying, GIS and mapping, or CADD.
- Work with minimal supervision while managing multiple design-related tasks and contributing to the successful completion of projects.
- Demonstrate leadership and technical capability by collaborating effectively with engineers, designers, and other project stakeholders.
Essential Skills list (bulleted but we can make list):
- Thorough knowledge of practices and procedures in one or more of the following areas: electrical engineering, instrumentation and control, protective relaying, transmission design, substation design, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, distribution engineering, surveying, GIS and mapping, and CADD.
- Proficiency in AutoCAD or similar computer-aided design (CAD) tools for preparing complex design and construction drawings.
- Ability to perform design services requiring a full understanding of drawings, specifications, and industry and company standards.
- Experience preparing or assisting with cost estimates, specifications, evaluations, and requisitions.
- Ability to assist in the preparation of engineering calculations to support design work.
- Capability to coordinate equipment deliveries and design development to meet established project schedules.
- Ability to acquire and interpret on-site field data to support design activities and evaluate equipment performance.
- Demonstrated ability to work with minimal supervision while handling a variety of design-related duties
- Demonstrated leadership and technical capability to perform assigned job duties and responsibilities effectively.
Additional Skills & Qualifications:
- Bachelors/Associates degree in a environmental, GIS , technical field is preferred, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
- 0-1 Experience in utility design and electrical design, particularly within distribution engineering environments.
Work Environment (we will incorporate into About the role):
- This position is primarily office-based and involves working with design and engineering software such as AutoCAD, CAD/CADD systems, and GIS tools.
- The role may require occasional field visits to collect on-site data or observe equipment performance.
- Once fully trained, there is an opportunity for flexible hours and the possibility to work from home up to two days per week, subject to business needs and leadership discretion.
- The work environment emphasizes collaboration with engineers and other technical professionals in a structured, professional setting.
Job Type & Location:

Application Deadline etc: we should remove application instructions and deadline? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we drop "Application Deadline This position is anticipated to close on Sep 25, 2026." Also drop "About Actalent" etc.
Now craft HTML.
We'll have:
