Environmental Program Specialist 1 / Trainee 1 / 2 - NY HELPS

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section only when posting has real specific content for it; never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the description. The posting includes: - Description Duties Description: a paragraph describing tasks: "Perform a variety of tasks including carrying out small projects, supporting agency initiatives and goals such as sustainability, accessibility, solar installations, energy efficient measures, and zero emission transition efforts, while also serving as a member of a project team to complete segments of larger more complex projects. Assisting higher level staff, reviewing project activities while monitoring project development to ensure environmental qualities and department goals are met. Assist Operations with various projects and tasks utilizing environmental technical skills to meet department goals, including, but not limited to: permitting, regulation monitoring, field inspections, compliance inspections, coordinate and/or conduct program trainings, technical assistance to facility managers, funding and expenditure management reports for projects and staff, develop and implement programs to promote optimal use of environmental resources, contractual, bidding, proposal, and document processing, renewable, sustainable, and economic purchasing of supplies and materials, developing information systems, statistical summaries, and annual reporting. Completes reporting and data collection tasks including but not limited to: tasks relating to environmental quality such as sustainability surveys, refrigerant inventory, and tracking, zero emission efforts, Green NY reporting, and climate investment tracking." That's duties. - Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications (NY HELPS) description: includes details about non-competitive appointment, conversion, etc. Then "Qualifications For Non-competitive Appointment EPS TRAINEE 1: ..." then list of required experience and degree substitution. Then "Eps Trainee 2 ..." then "EPS 1 ..." then "EPS 1: * If applying under the 55b/c, candidates must include with their resume or application, a copy of the letter from Civil Service which indicates approval for the 55b/c program." Then "Qualifications For Competitive Appointment Reassignment - Currently in the title and an employee of DEC or Reinstatement Eligible - Previously held the title on a permanent competitive basis or held a title as indicated under the transfer eligible section on a permanent competitive basis. Or Transfer Eligible - One year of permanent competitive service at Salary Grade 11 or higher and either: Eligible for transfer under Section 70.4: Must meet the open competitive minimum qualifications below; Or Eligible for transfer under Section 70.1: Permanent competitive service as an Environmental Program Specialist 1 (including trainees), Program Aide, Administrative Specialist 1, Biologist1(Aquatic), (Ecology), (Marine), (Wildlife), Public Participation Specialist 1, Environmental Analyst 1 and Trainee 1 &2, Environmental Engineering Technician 2 & 3, Fish and Wildlife Technician 2&3, Legal Assistant 2, Mineral Resources Technician2,Pesticide Control Specialist 1 & 2, Public Health Specialist 2 Environmental, Sanitary Construction Inspector 2, Senior Engineering Research Editor." Then Additional Comments: Transportation needs require state vehicle, driver's license, ability to negotiate difficult terrain, remote areas, adverse weather, travel, overnight travel, lift up to 35 pounds, telecommuting up to 50% discussed at interview. Then benefits: "We offer a work-life balance and a generous benefits package, worth 65% of salary, including: Holiday & Paid Time Off Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Pension from New York State Employees’ Retirement System Shift & Geographic pay differentials Affordable Health Care options Family dental and vision benefits at no additional cost NYS Deferred Compensation plan Access to NY 529 and NY ABLE College Savings Programs, and U.S. Savings Bonds And many more..." Then salary info: "For new State employees appointed to graded positions, the annual salary is the hiring rate (beginning of the Salary Range) of the position. Promotion salaries are calculated by the NYS Office of the State Comptroller in accordance with NYS Civil Service Law, OSC Payroll rules and regulations and negotiated union contracts." Then DEI statement: "The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is committed to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility... If you are a person with a disability and wish to request that a reasonable accommodation be provided for you to participate in a job interview, please email: equity@dec.ny.gov. Please be advised, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation does not use E-Verify, and we are unable to provide sponsorship for employment visa statuses (i.e. H-1B, Self-Sponsorship, STEM OPT)." We need to remove boilerplate: EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The DEI statement might be considered EEO boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove the DEI paragraph and the accommodation request line and the E-Verify statement. Also remove any duplicated lines (maybe repeated qualification lists). We need to preserve substantive info: duties, qualifications (minimum qualifications, non-competitive appointment details, competitive appointment details), additional comments (transportation, driver's license, terrain, remote, adverse weather, travel, lift, telecommuting), benefits, salary info. We should not create sections with placeholder/filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Benefits, Pay (salary info), maybe Schedule? There's mention of telecommuting up to 50% of work schedule, will be discussed at interview. That's schedule-related info. Could include a Schedule section with that detail. Also mention travel may be required, overnight travel may be required. That could be part of Additional Comments or maybe Schedule. But we can combine. We need to decide sections: maybe "Responsibilities" for duties, "Qualifications" for qualifications (including both non-competitive and competitive), "Additional Information" for transportation/requirements, "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". Avoid too many thin sections; maybe combine Additional Info and Schedule into one "Working Conditions" or similar, but headings must be from the list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Requirements? But we have qualifications already. Could use Requirements for things like driver's license, ability to lift, etc. But we can put those under Qualifications or a separate Requirements section. The instruction: "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can choose any of those. We should not create sections with filler. So we need to ensure each section has substantive content. Let's plan: -

  Responsibilities

  :

  with duties paragraph (maybe break into

  • for list items? The duties paragraph includes many items separated by commas. Could convert to list for clarity but must preserve all info. We can keep as

    but also could use

    • for each distinct duty. The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should turn the duties into a list. The paragraph includes many items: "carrying out small projects, supporting agency initiatives and goals such as sustainability, accessibility, solar installations, energy efficient measures, and zero emission transition efforts, while also serving as a member of a project team to complete segments of larger more complex projects. Assisting higher level staff, reviewing project activities while monitoring project development to ensure environmental qualities and department goals are met. Assist Operations with various projects and tasks utilizing environmental technical skills to meet department goals, including, but not limited to: permitting, regulation monitoring, field inspections, compliance inspections, coordinate and/or conduct program trainings, technical assistance to facility managers, funding and expenditure management reports for projects and staff, develop and implement programs to promote optimal use of environmental resources, contractual, bidding, proposal, and document processing, renewable, sustainable, and economic purchasing of supplies and materials, developing information systems, statistical summaries, and annual reporting. Completes reporting and data collection tasks including but not limited to: tasks relating to environmental quality such as sustainability surveys, refrigerant inventory, and tracking, zero emission efforts, Green NY reporting, and climate investment tracking." We can break into logical list items: - Carry out small projects - Support agency initiatives and goals (sustainability, accessibility, solar installations, energy efficient measures, zero emission transition efforts) - Serve as a member of a project team to complete segments of larger, more complex projects - Assist higher-level staff - Review project activities while monitoring project development to ensure environmental qualities and department goals are met - Assist Operations with various projects and tasks utilizing environmental technical skills to meet department goals, including: - Permitting - Regulation monitoring - Field inspections - Compliance inspections - Coordinate and/or conduct program trainings - Technical assistance to facility managers - Funding and expenditure management reports for projects and staff - Develop and implement programs to promote optimal use of environmental resources - Contractual, bidding, proposal, and document processing - Renewable, sustainable, and economic purchasing of supplies and materials - Developing information systems - Statistical summaries - Annual reporting - Complete reporting and data collection tasks, including: - Sustainability surveys - Refrigerant inventory and tracking - Zero emission efforts - Green NY reporting - Climate investment tracking That seems comprehensive. -

        Qualifications

        : We need to include minimum qualifications (NY HELPS) and non-competitive appointment details (EPS Trainee 1, EPS Trainee 2, EPS1) and competitive appointment details (Reassignment, Reinstatement, Transfer Eligible). Also note the 55b/c requirement. We should preserve all substantive info. Could present as

        paragraphs or

        • for lists. The qualifications are quite textual; we can keep as

          but maybe break into

          • for each bullet? However the instruction says use
            • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Qualifications could be considered requirements; we could use
              • for each qualification point. But the qualifications are not a simple list; they have paragraphs. Safer to use

                for prose and

                • only for explicit lists. The qualifications section includes lists like "development and implementation of program policies and procedures; preparing and interpreting rules and regulations; ..." which is a list separated by semicolons. Could turn into
                  • . But we need to preserve all info; we can convert each semicolon-separated item into a list item. However that may be a lot. Might be okay. But we also have multiple qualification levels (EPS Trainee 1, 2, EPS1) each with same list but different years of experience. Could summarize? But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve all substantive information; we cannot condense if it loses detail. However we can keep the same list repeated for each level, but that would be repetitive. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing away detail would be to omit some of the detail. If we combine the three levels into a single statement that says "EPS Trainee 1: 4 years experience; EPS Trainee 2: 5 years; EPS1: 6 years" and keep
