General Engineer (Direct Hire)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include metadata like Job ID. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract: Summary: The Facilities Management Branch at Goddard Space Flight Center, Wallops Island is seeking to hire a General Engineer with special emphasis on heating, ventilation, air conditioning, controls, and propane distribution. The work includes the identification of future Center needs; assisting in the preparation of engineering and budgetary documentation; reviewing engineering designs; and acting as project manager on facility design and construction projects. That's about the role. Duties: list of duties: - Act as a Project Engineer, with the responsibility for coordinating all phases of engineering, construction and inspection of construction, renovation and repair projects. - Develop or coordinate a broad range of facilities engineering management activities covering a variety of complex facilities. - Accomplish varied and complex project management duties in conjunction with coordinating project teams and make decisions affecting areas of responsibility that are controversial and precedent setting. - Prepare design, specifications and cost estimates and supervise drafting effort for mechanical engineering projects. - Provide extensive coordination with multi-discipline engineering teams. - Perform analysis of existing mechanical systems and develops the scope and requirements for future construction, rehabilitation or repair projects to maintain facilities, improve operations or to provide facilities to meet new requirements. - Prepare outlines of services, scopes of work, construction estimates, or engineering fee estimates for work to be performed by private architectural-engineering firm personnel. Also note: Duties assigned at lower grade levels will be of more limited scope... but that's generic; we can maybe include as part of duties? It's generic but maybe we can include as note. However we should avoid filler like "commensurate with the grade". The phrase "Duties assigned at lower grade levels will be of more limited scope, performed with less independence and limited complexity; duties will be commensurate with the grade of selected employee." This is generic filler; we might drop it. Requirements: Conditions of employment: bullet points: U.S. citizens, nationals or those who owe allegiance to the U.S.; may require a one-year probationary period; position subject to pre-employment background investigation or higher-level clearance; Financial Disclosure, Drug Testing, and/or Travel Requirements may differ based on location. These are conditions, not exactly requirements but could be placed under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Conditions of Employment". Since we only have set headings, we can put under Requirements. Qualifications: detailed GS-11, GS-12, GS-13 specialized experience requirements, education basic requirement, etc. Also includes note about resume narrative, plagiarism warning, AI guidance link (should we keep? It's application instruction; we should drop application instructions. The link to NASA's guidance on AI is application instruction; we should drop. Also the note about "Your resume must include a clear and detailed narrative description..." is part of qualifications? It's instruction for application; we should drop as it's application instruction. The AI guidance link also application instruction; drop. Education: Basic Requirement: bachelor's degree in engineering with ABET etc. Also alternative combos. Additional information: about additional selections, CTAP/ICTAP, VSIP repayment, probationary period details, etc. Some of that is boilerplate; we may keep probationary period details if substantive? It repeats earlier. Might be considered boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The probationary period details might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive? It's repeated. Might be considered boilerplate; we can drop. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep the core duties, qualifications, education, requirements (citizenship, clearance, etc). We should not include application instructions like "Please visit ... to review NASA's guidance on the use of artificial intelligent (AI) or AI-assisted tools during the application process." That's application instruction; drop. Also drop "Additional selections may be made for similar positions across NASA within the local commuting area(s) of the location(s) identified in this announcement." That's maybe boilerplate but could be considered info about potential multiple selections; but it's generic. Might be considered boilerplate; we can drop. CTAP/ICTAP details: also boilerplate. VSIP repayment: boilerplate. Probationary period details: maybe we can keep a short note about probationary period if it's specific: "You may be required to serve a one-year probationary period during which we will evaluate your fitness and whether your continued employment advances the public interest." That's somewhat generic but maybe we keep as part of Requirements? It's not super specific; but it's a condition. The instruction says do not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". Probationary period is specific: one-year probationary period. So we could include that. But we also have mention of "If selected, the requirement to serve such period will be determined by Title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 11." That's generic. We could include a short paragraph under Requirements about probationary period and clearance. Now we need to decide sections. We have: - About the role (summary) - Responsibilities (duties) - Requirements (citizenship, clearance, probationary period, maybe financial disclosure etc.) - Qualifications (specialized experience for GS-11/12/13, education requirements) - Skills? Not explicitly listed; maybe we can infer from duties but not given. Better not to create Skills section if no explicit content. - Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not mentioned; so omit. Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. We need to use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must not repeat job title. So no heading for job title. We must not include Job ID etc. We need to preserve all substantive information; we must not invent or summarize away detail. Let's extract the exact text for each piece, preserving details. About the role: The summary paragraph: "The Facilities Management Branch at Goddard Space Flight Center, Wallops Island is seeking to hire a General Engineer with special emphasis on heating, ventilation, air conditioning, controls, and propane distribution. The work includes the identification of future Center needs; assisting in the preparation of engineering and budgetary documentation; reviewing engineering designs; and acting as project manager on facility design and construction projects." We can keep that as a

  . Responsibilities: list of duties as bullet points. We need to include each duty exactly as given. Let's list them: - Act as a Project Engineer, with the responsibility for coordinating all phases of engineering, construction and inspection of construction, renovation and repair projects. - Develop or coordinate a broad range of facilities engineering management activities covering a variety of complex facilities. - Accomplish varied and complex project management duties in conjunction with coordinating project teams and make decisions affecting areas of responsibility that are controversial and precedent setting. - Prepare design, specifications and cost estimates and supervise drafting effort for mechanical engineering projects. - Provide extensive coordination with multi-discipline engineering teams. - Perform analysis of existing mechanical systems and develops the scope and requirements for future construction, rehabilitation or repair projects to maintain facilities, improve operations or to provide facilities to meet new requirements. - Prepare outlines of services, scopes of work, construction estimates, or engineering fee estimates for work to be performed by private architectural-engineering firm personnel. We should keep the exact phrasing, including punctuation. Now Requirements: we need to include citizenship, probationary period, background investigation/clearance, financial disclosure, drug testing, travel requirements may differ. We should not include boilerplate like "Conditions of employment" heading; we just put content. We can make a

  for prose summarizing? But we have list-like items; better to use

  • for each requirement. Let's extract each: - Must be a U.S. citizen, national, or owe allegiance to the U.S. - May require a one-year probationary period. - Position subject to pre-employment background investigation or higher-level clearance (investigation/clearance may differ based on duty location/NASA Center requirements). - Financial Disclosure, Drug Testing, and/or Travel Requirements may differ and be required based on duty location/NASA Center requirements. We could also mention that probationary period determination is per Title 5 CFR Part 11, but that's maybe boilerplate; we can keep if not too generic. The instruction says do not include filler like "not specified". This is specific enough? It's a regulation reference; maybe we keep as part of probationary period bullet. We'll include as separate bullet: "If selected, the requirement to serve a one-year probationary period will be determined by Title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 11." Now Qualifications: we need to include specialized experience for GS-11, GS-12, GS-13, education basic requirement, alternative combinations, professional registration, etc. Also note about resume narrative and AI guidance we drop. We must preserve all substantive info; we should not drop the education details. We need to format as lists where appropriate. Let's extract the qualifications section text.
