Grounds Maintenance Laborer
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are not boilerplate.
Let's extract substantive content:
Mission statement: "PRIDE Industries is a fast-paced company with a mission To Create Jobs for People with Disabilities while providing high quality, value-added solutions to our nationwide customers."
Position summary: "Under close supervision, Grounds Maintenance Laborer/Gardener maintains landscaped areas, roads, and parking lots of assigned facilities. Employees in this job perform work to assure grounds are maintained in safe and pristine condition. This job class requires knowledge of landscaping practices, procedures, supplies and equipment and the ability to perform landscaping job functions in a safe and timely manner."
Typical duties list (items 1-12). Need to keep each as
- . Include the asterisks denoting essential job function? The posting uses * before some items to denote Essential Job Function. We should preserve that? Probably keep the asterisk as part of text. It's substantive. We'll keep as is.
Minimum qualifications bullet list: The bullet points:
• One year of work experience in grounds maintenance, or knowledge of grounds maintenance standards, techniques and materials;
• Proper use of PPE;
• Ability to identify and work safely with appropriate manual and power tools, mechanical and electrical equipment, to the task assigned;
• Ability to manage and accurately track material resources and time, and adapt to changing work priorities;
• Ability to be flexible due to change of schedule, work duration and tasks;
• Communicate and work collaboratively and professionally on a team with various skill levels, and of various ethnic, religious, cultural and other backgrounds, and demonstrate good customer service skills.
Education requirement: "High School Diploma or GED"
Certificates or licenses required: "Valid Driver's License" (maybe also note that following licenses or certificates may be required depending on local, state and/or contract requirements). We'll include that sentence.
Physical requirements: list of abilities: Standing and walking; Maneuvering around equipment; Bending, kneeling, squatting, stooping, reaching, pushing, pulling and shoveling; Lifting of equipment up to 50 pounds; Pushing or pulling equipment weighing up to 75 pounds; Carrying a 20-pound backpack blower.
Work environment: description: "Work is performed at a customer’s location on job sites in a construction environment with various tools, and mechanical, electrical and construction equipment. Transporting to work locations within the site. At times, may be required to work in confined spaces. Employees may be exposed to hazardous equipment, toxic substances, noise from equipment, and depending on external weather conditions, wind, rain, cold, and heat. Travel between facilities and work locations may be required."
Disclaimer: maybe we can keep? It's somewhat boilerplate but it's part of description. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Disclaimer might be considered legal? It's a generic disclaimer about not comprehensive inventory. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove it. Also the motivational closing "At PRIDE, we make a difference..." and "Ready to make an impact? Join an organization..." and "Apply today..." and "Learn more about who we are..." are promotional/application instructions; we should remove those. Also EEO statement remove.
Thus we keep: mission, position summary, typical duties, minimum qualifications, education requirement, certificates/licenses, physical requirements, work environment.
Now assign to sections:
About the role: mission + position summary (maybe also brief about company). We'll put both in
elements.
Responsibilities: typical duties list (
- ...).
Requirements: minimum qualifications bullet list (
- ...).
Qualifications: education requirement, certificates/licenses, physical requirements, work environment? Could be split but we have only one Qualifications section allowed? We could have multiple sub-sections but heading only once. We could include multiple
and
under Qualifications. That seems okay.
Skills: maybe we could extract from minimum qualifications the abilities like ability to identify tools, manage resources, flexibility, communication teamwork. But those are already in Requirements. To avoid duplication, maybe we put those under Skills instead of Requirements. But we need to preserve all info; we can split: Requirements could be education and certificates; Skills could be abilities. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe better to combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we must follow headings list; we can omit sections if no content. We could have only About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering minimum quals, education, certs, physical, work environment). Then Skills maybe empty -> omit. But we need to ensure we don't lose any info. If we put all under Requirements, that's fine.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements.
We need to ensure we don't miss any content: mission, position summary, typical duties, minimum quals, education, certs/licenses, physical requirements, work environment.
All can go under Requirements as lists and paragraphs.
But we might want to separate education and certs as separate . Physical requirements as
. Work environment as .
