Groundskeeper
for 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 Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove pre-employment screening, HSPD-12, foreign government, REAL-ID, equal opportunity statement? Those are legal/EEO boilerplate, should be removed. Also remove "Work Arrangement" maybe not a standard heading; but we can incorporate into maybe Schedule? Not exactly. Work arrangement says onsite role, must work from Batavia office. Could be considered Schedule? Not exactly. Could be a separate section? Not in allowed headings. Probably we can omit or incorporate into Schedule? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we need to decide which sections we have content for.
We have Pay: expected hiring range $23.39-$28.52. That's specific. So include Pay section.
We have Benefits/Perks: list of benefits. So include Benefits.
We have About the Role: paragraph. So include About the role.
We have Responsibilities: the bullet list of day-to-day tasks. So include Responsibilities.
We have Skills and Attributes for Success: includes High School diploma and 1+ yrs Experience, valid IL DOT CDL class A or B. Also Applicable Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required: ability to operate equipment, basic knowledge of handheld power tool operation and maintenance, ability and willingness to obtain NWCG S130 & S190 basic wildfire training (Fermi will pay), ability and willingness to obtain a pesticide operator’s license (Fermi will pay). So we can put these under Skills or Requirements/Qualifications. The headings allowed: Skills, Requirements, Qualifications. We need to decide distribution. Probably combine qualifications (education, license) under Qualifications, and skills under Skills. Or we could put all under Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's create Qualifications for education and license, Skills for abilities and willingness to obtain training.
We also have maybe Schedule? Not given. Work arrangement says onsite, but not schedule (hours). Could be considered Schedule? Not really. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Schedule not stated, so omit.
Thus sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Qualifications (h3), Skills (h3), Benefits (h3), Pay (h3). Ensure we use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit any substantive info. Let's extract all substantive info from the posting, excluding boilerplate.
Let's parse the posting:
- Expected hiring range: $23.39-$28.52. Note that pay range is guideline only; pay offered determined based on factors: scope/responsibilities, qualifications, business considerations, internal equity, external market pay. This is substantive; we should include in Pay section.
- About the Role: Under direct supervision, you will perform landscape maintenance activities with basic knowledge in the operation of equipment such as handheld power tools, mowers, tractors, snowplows, and heavy equipment.
- What your day-to-day as a Groundskeeper at Fermilab will look like: (list)
- Performing landscape maintenance activities including mowing, trimming, pruning, plant care, pesticide application, fertilizing, and snow removal.
- Completing routine landscaping repairs which may require hauling, spreading, and seeding of topsoil, and installation of erosion control materials.
- While under the general supervision of the Groundskeeper Crew Chief, you will execute tree removal with the use of chain saws, chippers, and stump grinders.
- Participation in prairie and woodland restoration activities including prescribed fire management, and the control of invasive plants using herbicides.
- Assisting in maintenance of the underground storm water drainage systems, including cleaning, repairing, and replacing culverts, catch basins, and drainage tiles.
- Performing heavy physical labor, including lifting up to 50 lbs.
- Performing other duties as assigned by supervisor.
- Abiding by and being responsible for performing all duties in accordance with all environmental, health and safety regulations and practices pertinent to this position.
- Skills and Attributes for Success:
- High School diploma and 1+ yrs. Experience.
- Must possess a valid Illinois Department of Transportation Commercial Driver’s License (class A or B).
- Applicable Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required:
- Ability to operate equipment and job-related machinery.
- Basic knowledge of hand-held power tool operation and maintenance.
- Ability and willingness to obtain NWCG S130 & S190 basic wildfire training or equivalent (Fermi will pay for this)
- Ability and willingness to obtain a pesticide operator’s license (Fermi will pay for this)
- Work Arrangement: Onsite: This is an onsite role, and the candidate must be able to work from our Batavia office. (Note: subject to change based on business needs and not guaranteed to be final). This is substantive about location; we could incorporate maybe under a heading like "Work Location" but not allowed. Could we put under Schedule? Not appropriate. Could we put under Benefits? No. Could we create a custom heading? Not allowed; only allowed headings list. So we may need to omit this info? But instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we omit the onsite requirement, we lose substantive info. However we cannot create a new heading; maybe we can incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities as a paragraph? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. ...). Likely they expect only those headings. But we could still include a
about onsite within About the role or Responsibilities. That would preserve info without a new heading. So we can add a sentence in About the role: "This is an onsite position requiring work from the Batavia office." That preserves.
- Benefits/Perks: list: Medical, Dental, Vision and Flexible Spending Accounts, Paid time off, Life insurance, Short and Long-term disability insurance, Retirement benefits, Onsite day care.
- Why Fermilab: description about Fermilab. This is substantive but not a standard heading. Could we incorporate into About the role? Might be okay as extra paragraph. But it's more about employer. Could we put under a heading like "About Fermilab"? Not allowed. Could we incorporate into a
after Benefits? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could we add a section "About Fermilab"? Not in allowed list. Might be considered filler if we create a heading not in list. Safer to incorporate into a
under Benefits or maybe after Benefits as a general paragraph without heading? But we need to use headings for sections; we could just put a
without heading? The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say you cannot have
outside headings. But likely they expect sections with headings. However we can include a
after the last heading without a heading; that might be okay. But to be safe, we could incorporate the Why Fermilab description into a
under Benefits or maybe as part of About the role? It's about the employer, not the role. Could add a
after Benefits heading but before closing? Might be considered a section without heading, which may be against instruction. However the instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those for sections. It also says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So if we create a heading not in the list, it's risky. Better to avoid extra headings. So we can incorporate the Why Fermilab description as a
after Benefits heading but without a new heading; still part of the Benefits section? Might be odd but okay.
Alternatively, we could treat Why Fermilab as part of "About the role" as a descriptive paragraph about the employer. That seems plausible: About the role can include context about the employer. So we can add a paragraph after the role description: "Fermilab is America’s premier laboratory for particle physics and accelerator research, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. We support discovery science experiments..." That preserves.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: Pre-Employment Screening, Drug-Free Workplace, HSPD-12, Foreign Government Sponsored Activities, REAL-ID Requirement, Equal Opportunity Statement. Also remove "Work Arrangement: Please note that the described work arrangement is subject to change based on business needs and is not guaranteed to be final." We already incorporated onsite requirement; we can drop the note about subject to change as it's filler? It's somewhat substantive but maybe considered boilerplate? It's a disclaimer about work arrangement; could be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to omit.
Also remove "Please note that the pay range information is a general guideline only." That's a disclaimer but we kept the range; we could keep a note that it's guideline? Might be considered filler but it's substantive about the range being guideline. The instruction: do not emit filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". This is not exactly those; it's a note about the range being guideline. Might be okay to keep. But we could incorporate into Pay section: "The expected hiring range for this position is $23.39-$28.52. Please note that the pay range information is a general guideline only; the pay offered will be determined based on factors such as scope and responsibilities, qualifications, business considerations, internal equity, and external market pay for comparable jobs." That preserves.
Now we need to format.
Structure:
About the role
Under direct supervision, you will perform landscape maintenance activities with basic knowledge in the operation of equipment such as handheld power tools, mowers, tractors, snowplows, and heavy equipment. ... (include day-to-day list as
- ...). Also include Fermilab description maybe as separate
after list.
But we need to separate Responsibilities as its own section. So About the role should be just the introductory paragraph maybe. Then Responsibilities section will have the list.
Thus:
