Environmental Specialist III

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Position Overview And Responsibilities (so we can have About the role maybe). It includes responsibilities list. It includes Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (skills). Minimum Qualifications (qualifications). Preferred Qualifications (maybe also qualifications). Pay: "$58,833.60". Benefits: description of benefits. Schedule: not explicitly given; maybe not include schedule. Also location: West Palm Beach Florida (could be part of About the role). Also other info like closing date, anticipated vacancy, etc. Should we include those? 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 closing date etc. But we must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't need heading for title. We'll produce sections: About the role (maybe combine overview and location). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (maybe combine Minimum and Preferred). Skills (list). Benefits (list). Pay (maybe just a paragraph). No Schedule. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes many paragraphs about organization mission, benefits, special notes etc. We need to keep benefits description. The "Our Organization And Mission" and "Where You Will Work" and "The Benefits Of Working For The State Of Florida" are substantive; we can include them maybe under About the role or separate sections? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role covering overview, location, mission, maybe benefits separate. But benefits is its own section heading Benefits. We'll include Benefits. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We'll output HTML fragment:

Then Responsibilities:

Responsibilities

... list items. We need to extract responsibilities from the long paragraph. Let's list them as bullet points: - Leads the planning and implementation of the Reef Resilience (RR) local action strategy (LAS) projects identified by the Southeast Florida Coral Reef Initiative (SEFCRI) Team and RR-related projects in the Kristin Jacobs Coral Aquatic Preserve (KJCAP) management plan and informs programmatic communications as needed. - Leads the planning and implementation of projects that improve the understanding of impacts to Southeast Florida’s coral reefs from causes such as coral bleaching and disease, and informs future management strategies to restore coral reef habitats and increase reef resilience and adaptability. - Ensures information exchange on topics related to reef resilience, disease, restoration, and any other pertinent information among CRCP staff to assist with project implementation. - Works with numerous partners in both the public and private sectors to further the state's efforts in conserving and protecting marine resources in the KJCAP. - Works collaboratively, fosters effective communication and exchanges information with intra- and interagency staff, SEFCRI Team members, interested stakeholders, and the general public. - Works collaboratively and exchange information with CRCP staff, SEFCRI Team members, and all interested stakeholders. - Maintains and establishes new partnerships with a variety of stakeholder groups including resource users, NGO’s, educational institutions, and government agencies. - Participates in resilience and restoration-related meetings. - Supports the coordination and development of restoration planning and disease and bleaching related disturbance monitoring for KJCAP. - Collaborates with partners, the SEFCRI Team and local stakeholders to evaluate and implement adaptive management measures that promote KJCAP ecosystem recovery and resilience. - Oversees coordination and implementation of the Southeast Florida Action Network (SEAFAN) for coordinating marine incident response and the SEAFAN BleachWatch Program and observer network. - Oversees the planning, coordination, and execution of the Annual Southeast Florida Reef Cleanups and the Southeast Florida Marine Debris Reporting and Removal Program. - Maintains DEP Diver qualification as defined by the DEP Underwater Operations Manual, including current medical approval for diving. - Participates in restoration and resilience related field work, as well as other CRCP related field work, as required. - Develops and manages grants and/or contracts, provides oversight of contractor(s), tracks budgets and deliverables and ensures progress and completion of all projects, as appropriate. - Prepares proposals, budgets, and contracts for assigned projects. - Liaises with the Coral Protection and Restoration Program, as necessary. - Maintains program and project files and records. - Analyzes data, develops and maintains databases, prepares progress and financial reports, and facilitates annual review (and revision, if needed) of assigned core programs and projects. - Organizes, facilitates, and participates in SEFCRI or non-SEFCRI related workshops and meetings. - Ensures meeting minutes are recorded for all assigned program/project meetings and prepares meeting summaries. - Assists with CRCP, KJCAP, and SEFCRI programmatic and strategic planning. - Assists with the implementation of other SEFCRI projects and CRCP activities, as directed. - Where appropriate, represents the DEP, Office of Resilience and Coastal Protection, CRCP, KJCAP, and the SEFCRI Team. - Attends all necessary DEP, ORCP, CRCP, and SEFCRI meetings and functions. - Attends training programs (where funds allow). - Assists with education and outreach activities, as needed. - Occasional weekend and evening work may be required to support CRCP outreach activities, attend meetings, and field work. - Regular local travel throughout Southeast Florida and occasional long-distance travel may be required to perform these duties. - May aid in the event of an emergency at DEP field offices, including pre-storm preparation, post-storm clean-up and replacement of stored goods to ready field office for operation after a storm; or other services assigned. - Snorkels or scuba dives as required. - Other duties as assigned. That's a lot but we must preserve all substantive information. It's okay. Next Skills:

Skills

list from Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. We need to separate knowledge vs skills vs abilities? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Skills section for skills. Knowledge maybe part of Qualifications? But we have Qualifications section for minimum and preferred qualifications. We'll put knowledge items under Qualifications? Actually Minimum Qualifications includes experience and education. Preferred Qualifications includes Master degree, skill with ESRI ArcGIS Online, etc. Knowledge of coral reef ecosystems etc are listed under Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. Those could go under Skills or maybe Qualifications. Since we have a Skills heading, we can put the skill items there. Knowledge items maybe also under Skills? But we could also create a Requirements section for knowledge. However instruction says prefer few substantive sections. We could combine knowledge, skills, abilities into Skills section. That's okay. Thus Skills section will include bullet points for each item: Knowledge of coral reef ecosystems..., Knowledge of ecological..., Knowledge of coral reef resilience..., Knowledge of coral disease..., Knowledge of adaptive/sustainable..., Experience managing program..., Experience managing large..., Skill in math..., Skill in organization..., Skill in public speaking..., Skill in PC computers..., Skill in small boat..., Skill in SCUBA..., Ability to prepare technical reports..., Ability to understand and apply..., Ability to formulate policies..., Ability to communicate..., Ability to work collaboratively..., Ability to establish..., Ability to be flexible..., Ability to plan..., Ability to work in a team..., Ability to work independently..., Ability to determine work priorities..., Ability to identify stony coral..., Ability to lift at least 35 lbs. We'll list them. Qualifications section: Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We'll put:

Qualifications

• Minimum: At least five (5) years of verifiable related experience in marine environmental or biological sciences. Post-secondary degrees from an accredited college or university with a major in marine environmental or biological sciences may be used as an alternative for the required years of experience on a year-for-year basis. A credential evaluation report from an approved agency must be submitted along with all foreign degrees. Valid Driver License required for regular local travel throughout Southeast Florida and occasional long-distance travel.
• Preferred: Master of Science degree in the marine environmental or biological sciences or a related field. Skill with ESRI ArcGIS Online and Survey123. Experience with citizen science and incident reporting and response programs. Knowledge of and experience with coral reef out-planting. Rescue and Nitrox scuba certifications.
But also note the Position of Special Trust requirement and licensing: Must be a certified scuba diver with Advanced Open Water certification who can provide documentation of at least 50 logged dives. Rescue and Nitrox SCUBA certifications to be obtained within 1 year if not already certified. Must have prior approval and meet the diving and/or snorkeling validation requirements in the DEP Underwater Operations Manual. This position is medically monitored. This could be part of Qualifications (maybe under Minimum). We'll add as a bullet under Minimum Qualifications. We'll incorporate. Benefits section: list benefits from "The Benefits Of Working For The State Of Florida". We'll bullet: - Annual and Sick Leave benefits - Nine paid holidays and one Personal Holiday each year - State Group Insurance coverage options, including health, life, dental, vision, and other supplemental insurance options - Retirement plan options, including employer contributions (see www.myfrs.com) - Tuition waivers - Total Compensation Estimator Tool - More (see www.mybenefits.myflorida.com) We'll keep as list. Pay section:

Pay

$58,833.60

Schedule: not present, so omit. We also need to include maybe a short paragraph for metadata like closing date etc. Already included in About the role. We must not include boilerplate like "Special Notes", "VETERANS’ PREFERENCE", etc. Those are considered boilerplate? They are substantive maybe but they are about veterans preference etc. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The veterans preference and disability accommodation might be considered EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. Likely should be removed. Also "Special Notes" about veterans preference etc. So we will omit those sections. Also "Our Organization And Mission" and "Where You Will Work" we included partly in About the role. We might keep mission as part of About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. Good. Now produce HTML fragment. Check for any duplicated lines: we have some repeated phrases like "Works collaboratively and exchange information with CRCP staff, SEFCRI Team members, and all interested stakeholders." appears twice in original; we should deduplicate. We'll keep only one. Also "Works collaboratively, fosters effective communication and exchanges information with intra- and interagency staff, SEFCRI Team members, interested stakeholders, and the general public." and "Works collaboratively and exchange information with CRCP staff, SEFCRI Team members, and all interested stakeholders." are similar but not identical; we can keep both but maybe deduplicate if they are essentially same. To be safe, keep both but maybe combine? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep both if they are distinct
