General Mechanic (Plumber/Steamfitter)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. The posting includes description, duties, responsibilities, job requirements, qualifications. No explicit Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections. So we should include sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? Yes there are duties and responsibilities. Requirements? There's Job Requirements. Qualifications? Yes. Skills? Not explicit separate; maybe part of requirements. Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not present. Schedule? Not present. So we will output

Responsibilities

with

• ... items from duties. Also maybe

  Requirements

  and

  Qualifications

  . Also maybe

  About the role

  if we have description? The description includes general mechanics description; could be considered About the role. The instruction: "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can include About the role if there is substantive content. The description includes "General Mechanics are assigned to various programs..." That's about the role. So we can include About the role section with paragraphs. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. We need to preserve all substantive info. That's a lot; we need to include all duties and responsibilities, requirements, qualifications. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive information; but we can format as lists. Must not omit any detail. That's huge; we need to include everything from the posting. However we can combine similar items but must not lose detail. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep all details. That means we need to include each bullet point as separate

  preserving the text. That's a lot but doable. We need to extract duties and responsibilities from the text. There's a long paragraph with many duties. Then later "Duties And Responsibilities (gm)" repeats similar content. We need to combine but ensure we don't duplicate. We should include all unique duties. Might be okay to include both but risk duplication. Better to deduplicate but not lose info. Since they are largely same, we can combine but must ensure we keep all distinct statements. Let's parse. First block after "Description Duties Description General Mechanics are assigned..." includes many duties. Then later "Duties And Responsibilities (gm) Duties and responsibilities may include but are not limited to the following:" then list. We'll produce a single Responsibilities section with bullet points covering all distinct duties. Let's extract duties from first paragraph: - General Mechanics are assigned to various programs and geographic areas, some of which require specialized knowledge in a field as evidenced by a parenthetic. (maybe not a duty but description) - General Mechanics with a parenthetic perform the same activities as the positions in the general title but will also have duties with a concentration in a specialized subject matter, requiring substantial and specific knowledge and experience in that field. - Incumbents of this position are considered essential personnel. - Under general supervision, the General Mechanic (Plumber/Steamfitter) performs journeyman work in the plumbing/steamfitting trade. - Incumbent will also be required to perform skilled and semiskilled duties within the maintenance series. - The GM Plumber/Steamfitter is responsible for all plumbing/steamfitting work to include the planning and layout of work and determining the cause of trouble in plumbing and heating systems and equipment in an assigned area, on an assigned project, or for an entire facility, training site or base. - The GM Plumber/Steamfitter frequently supervises others in this work including other plumber/steamfitters, as well as semiskilled and relatively unskilled workers. - GM Plumber/Steamfitters may work with, lead, and provide practical trade’s instruction to co-workers with the responsibility for the tasks performed and for the security of the tools and materials used by the workers along with their whereabouts. - The position performs responsibilities in accordance with National Guard Bureau (NGB) standards (and where applicable those requirements of the Master Cooperative Agreement between the NGB and the DMNA), as well as agency and labor contract duties and responsibilities – current and as amended. - The position may report to state and/or federal supervisory personnel. - Depending on assignment location, repairs, maintains and installs plumbing fixtures and appliances such as but not limited to sinks, shower baths, commodes, drinking fountains, dishwashers, valves including pneumatic controls, gas and water meters, gas hot water heaters and other gas appliances, heating systems and controls, and various steam equipment used in laundries, kitchens and cafeterias, water pumps and hydrotherapy equipment. - Duties and responsibilities may include but are not limited to the following: (then list) - Performs journeyman plumbing/steamfitting work in accordance with applicable codes and regulations; ensuring health and safety and all established trade and agency procedures are followed. - As directed, responsible for ordering necessary replacement parts and equipment in accordance with all purchasing and buying procedures and regulations. - As assigned, may supervise other maintenance titles, including hourly personnel, on a daily basis as appropriate or in the repair, maintenance and installation of plumbing systems and equipment projects. - In cases of malfunction or breakdown, discusses problem with user, visually inspects the fixtures or equipment and uses appropriate test equipment such as pressure and vacuum gauges to determine cause and location of trouble. - Following technical manuals, codes, diagrams and previous experience, plans work procedures to make repairs and orders replacement parts indicating quality and type and any other materials required. - Makes necessary repairs or adjustments or directs others in performing such activities. - Installs or directs the installation of plumbing fixtures and appliances following diagrams, codes and previous experience. - Plans and lays out the installation, alteration and repair of high and low pressure pipe systems that carry water, steam, air or other liquids or gases. - Plans new installations, alterations to existing installations and major repairs consistent with specifications, plans and plumbing codes. - Reviews building plans and working drawings to determine work aids required and sequence of installation. - Locates and marks position of pipe and pipe connections and passage holes for pipes in walls and floors and cuts openings required to accommodate pipe and fittings. - According to plan measures, cuts, threads and bends pipe to required angle. - Assembles and installs a variety of metal and nonmetal pipe and pipe fittings. - Joins piping by means of threaded, caulked, wiped, soldered, brazed, fused or cemented joints. - Tests pipe system for leaks by filling with liquid or air and reading pressure gauges. - Working knowledge of all applicable plumbing standards, building codes and safety regulations. - Ability to weld, braze and solder using both gas and arc welding equipment. - Using blueprints or project specifications, may estimate labor, materials, tools and equipment necessary for the project. - As required, gives verbal instructions and/or demonstrates proper plumbing techniques and the use of plumbing/steamfitting tools and equipment. - Observe and inspect work in progress and when completed, to insure that the work is done properly. Then second duties list: - Work from verbal or written descriptions or from drawings or sketches to design, plan, layout and complete a variety of general trades projects. - Monitors and inspects work in progress and upon completion to ensure compliance with relevant guidelines, codes and regulations, proper use of materials and equipment; and adherence to schedules are met. - Knowledge of general shop and trades equipment and machinery. - Assist with determining facility and grounds maintenance needs and make recommendations for repair/correction/resolution. - May draw rough sketches or prepare plans to scale from verbal or written instructions to accomplish a project. - Review in-house work requests, and visit jobsite to determine materials needed to complete projects. - May conduct inspections of the facility to determine maintenance needs and recommend priorities for repair based on the nature of the maintenance problem. - Provides supervisor with recommendations for the type, quantity and quality of materials needed to accomplish a project. - Provides verbal instruction and/or demonstrates proper trade techniques and the proper use of tools and equipment. - May be required to complete Purchase Order (PO) and Purchase Requisition documentation. - Assembles materials, tools and equipment required to complete the work according to plans. - May track inventory and control of the distribution of tools and equipment and maintain such equipment. - May perform supervisory duties at assigned facility/s and may fill-in for supervisor during absences. - May assist in the preparation of and provide input for the written performance evaluations of subordinate employees. - May perform routine semiskilled maintenance and repair in other trades as trained and required such as electrical, carpentry, and masonry. - Works independently with minimal supervision or with other individuals in a project/team setting in accordance with supervisory guidance and direction. - Will assist with repairs and upkeep of facility structures and building systems from foundation to roof; interior and exterior. - Perform general grounds maintenance tasks such as clearing sites, mowing lawns, maintaining roads and sidewalks, snow and ice removal, collection/pick-up of trash and other obstructions from in and around the building and surrounding areas. - When applicable, will assist with Non-military Use Program (NMU) requirements. - Periodic overtime will be required - especially during winter months. - Performs other job duties as assigned. - May provide assistance and perform duties at other DMNA facilities to meet operational needs. We need to combine and avoid duplicates. Many items overlap (e.g., supervising, planning, ordering parts). We'll keep unique items; but to be safe we could include all items even if duplicates; but that would repeat info, which might be considered not preserving but adding duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not inventing or summarizing away; it's preserving but repeating. Might be okay but could be considered unnecessary. I'd rather deduplicate to keep concise but still preserve all unique info. However risk of missing some nuance if duplicates have slight wording differences. Let's check duplicates: Many items appear in both lists with similar meaning but not identical. For safety, we could include both lists as separate bullet points, preserving both wordings. That would preserve all info, albeit with duplication. That satisfies "preserve ALL substantive information". Duplication is not losing info. So we can just output all bullets from both lists, preserving original wording. Thus Responsibilities section will have a long

  with all bullets from both lists (including the introductory sentences maybe as separate

  ?). The instruction: Use

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

    for prose. So we can turn the descriptive paragraphs into

    and the bullet lists into

    • . The initial descriptive sentences before "Duties and responsibilities may include but are not limited to the following:" could be prose (

      ). Then the bullet list after that as

      . Then after the second duties list we could also treat as another
      (or continue same list). We'll just combine all bullets into one
      after a brief intro

      . But we need to preserve the introductory sentences as prose. Thus:

      About the role

      General Mechanics are assigned to various programs and geographic areas, some of which require specialized knowledge in a field as evidenced by a parenthetic. General Mechanics with a parenthetic perform the same activities as the positions in the general title but will also have duties with a concentration in a specialized subject matter, requiring substantial and specific knowledge and experience in that field. Incumbents of this position are considered essential personnel. Under general supervision, the General Mechanic (Plumber/Steamfitter) performs journeyman work in the plumbing/steamfitting trade. Incumbent will also be required to perform skilled and semiskilled duties within the maintenance series. The GM Plumber/Steamfitter is responsible for all plumbing/steamfitting work to include the planning and layout of work and determining the cause of trouble in plumbing and heating systems and equipment in an assigned area, on an assigned project,
