FORESTRY AIDE 2 - 09222026-81191

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to extract from posting. Job title not needed as heading. We need to include sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe qualifications?), Qualifications (education/experience), Skills (competencies/KSAs, abilities, tools), Benefits (maybe none?), Pay (salary info), Schedule (maybe not given). Let's see. Posting includes: Opening/Closing dates, Salary (Monthly) $3,229.00, Salary (Annually) $38,748.00, Job Type Full-Time, City, State Location Winchester, TN, Department Agriculture, LOCATION OF (1) POSITION(S) TO BE FILLED: DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, FRANKLIN COUNTY. This position is with the Cumberland District and is stationed in the Franklin State Forest. We can include a short paragraph for metadata: maybe under About the role? Or separate? 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

with opening/closing dates, location, job type, etc. Not as heading. Then sections: - About the role: overview paragraph(s). The "Overview" section: "Under general supervision, performs fire prevention, fire suppression, and conservation work on state forests and private lands of average difficulty; and performs related work as required. This is the working and/or lead level class in the Forestry Aide Sub-Series. An employee in this class operates and maintains heavy equipment and performs a wide variety of wildland fire suppression and related work in fire management, forest management and reforestation on state forests and private lands. This class differs from a Forestry Aide 1 in that that an incumbent of the latter is part time, functions at the entry level and does not operate heavy equipment. This class differs from a Forestry Technician in that an incumbent of the latter acts as supervisor." We can put that under About the role. - Responsibilities: list of duties. The posting has a "Responsibilities" heading with many bullet-like sentences. We need to convert to

• . Ensure we capture all responsibilities. List them: - May serve in a lead role directing other wildland firefighters and external resources regarding fire suppression activities or serve as a lead worker on other all-hazard situations by ensuring safety, coordinating job assignments and maintaining constant communication. - Assesses environmental conditions of active fires (e.g., weather, topography, fuel type), available resources and uses understanding of fire behavior to determine course of action to control fires. - Constructs a fire line using hand tools (e.g., fire rake, Pulaski, and leaf blower) for extended periods of time. - Attends mandatory technical training as required by the Division of Forestry. - Attends annual TN/KY Wildland Fire Academy to be certified in specialty areas. - Gathers and reports information about landowner, cause of fire, location, values/structures at risk and other information for fire report and to relay information to Fire Resource Coordinator for determination of resources needed. - May operate hand-held equipment, heavy machinery, and vehicles, such as, but not limited to bulldozers, wildland fire engines, tractors, forklifts, dump trucks, road graders, and back hoes etc. - Maintains the facilities and maintenance of grounds. - Maintains assigned equipment and vehicles assigned for all incident readiness. - Educates local cooperators, the general public, and various agencies on general tactics, fire behavior, use of tools/implements, and functions of the Tennessee Division of Forestry. - Provides training for firefighters and permit writers through various means. - May assist with educational and outreach opportunities. - Monitors seedling storage facilities to ensure viable seedlings. - Reviews and assists in timber harvest sites on private or public forest land for implementation of forestry Best Management Practices and/or contract compliance. - Collects forest management data and conducting seedling survival checks. - Assists with vendor services such as: prescribed fire, timber marking, tree planting, and fire line construction. - Determines which orders can be filled based on seedlings delivered as compared to seedlings ordered. - Confirms Seedling Shipping Manifest corresponds with seedlings delivered. - Inspects and marks boundaries of State Forests to gather information (e.g., timber trespass, illegal recreational activities, etc.). - Identifies dead and dying trees to diagnose the cause (e.g., insects, disease, natural causes) through visual inspection and recommends course of action. - Assists in monitoring, detection, and control of forests pests and invasive species. We need to ensure we don't duplicate lines. Also there is a "Competencies (KSA's)" section with list: Action Oriented, Customer Focus, Instills Trust, Business Insight, Communicates Effectively, Knowledge Building and Construction, Customer and Personal Service, Geography, Mechanical, Public Safety and Security. Then "Skills": Active Learning and Listening, Coordination, Critical Thinking, Equipment Maintenance, Service Orientation. "Abilities": Limb and/or Full Body Flexibility, Auditory Attention, Multilimb Coordination, Problem Sensitivity, Rate Control. "Tools & Equipment": Office Equipment, Safety and Heavy Equipment, Fire Line Hand Tools, GPS Unit, Mobile and Portable Radio. We can combine Skills, Abilities, Tools & Equipment into a Skills section? The instruction: Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Skills heading and include all those items (competencies, skills, abilities, tools). Could also separate but better to have one Skills section with sublists? Probably just list all as

  • . Could group but not required. Requirements: maybe the "Necessary Special Qualifications" and "Education and Experience" etc. Could be Requirements section. Qualifications maybe separate? The instruction says we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections if content. Let's parse. We have: - Qualifications Education and Experience: Education equivalent to graduation from a standard high school and experience equivalent to one year of full-time work in one of the following areas: (list). Then substitution rules. - Necessary Special Qualifications: list of items (valid vehicle operator's license, age 18+, WCT test, obtain CDL within 12 months, maintain physical fitness). - Examination Method: Education and Experience, 100%, for Preferred Service positions. We could put Requirements as the Necessary Special Qualifications + Education and Experience? Or separate: Requirements = Necessary Special Qualifications; Qualifications = Education and Experience + substitution rules. Let's decide. We need to avoid thin sections. Both have substantive content. Thus:

    Requirements

    with
    • for each necessary special qualification.

      Qualifications

      with

      for education/experience description and substitution rules. Alternatively combine but better to follow instruction. Now Benefits: posting does not mention benefits. So we should NOT include Benefits section. Pay: we have salary monthly and annually. So include Pay section with

      stating salary. Schedule: posting does not mention schedule (maybe full-time implied). No explicit schedule details. So we should NOT include Schedule section. Now About the role: we have overview paragraph. Now we need to include metadata like opening/closing dates, location, job type, department etc. Could be a short

      before sections. Let's craft HTML:

      Opening Date: 09/22/2026 12:00AM Central Time; Closing Date: 10/05/2026 11:59PM Central Time; Job Type: Full-Time; Location: Winchester, TN (Franklin State Forest, Franklin County, Cumberland District); Department: Agriculture.

      But we should avoid using ? Not prohibited. Could just plain text. Now sections:
