Groundskeeper II
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the posting.
Given posting includes:
- Department: (blank?), Location: Belknap Campus, Health Sciences Center
- Time Type: Full time
- Worker Type: Regular
- Job Req ID: R109402 (should be dropped)
- Minimum Requirements: High school diploma/GED and two (2) years of relevant experience or equivalent combination of education and experience. Pre-employment physical exam required. Valid driver's license required and must be insurable by the University's insurance carrier. Kentucky applicator's license to handle pesticides. May be required to be able to lift up to 50 pounds. May need to work nights, weekends, holidays or during winter breaks in a variety of weather conditions.
- Grade 2 (Hourly) Position Description: The Groundskeeper II position will maintain lawns and landscape, including planting, trimming, mowing, seeding, and fertilizing university grounds. Maintain trees, mix and apply weed and insect control chemicals. Collect and haul trash and debris. Must be able to operate commercial mowing/landscaping equipment. This is a required personnel position that necessitates the employee’s physical presence in the workplace. The employee must also report to or remain at work during university emergencies or closures and maintain a valid, insurable driver’s license under the University’s insurance policy.
- Essential Duties And Responsibilities: list of duties (many bullet-like sentences)
- Target Compensation Minimum: $17.35/hr. Midpoint: $21.72/hr. Compensation Will Be Commensurate To Candidate Experience.
- Then EEO boilerplate etc to be removed.
- Assistance and Accommodations etc to be removed.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from Position Description?), Responsibilities (Essential Duties And Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Requirements), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? but we can combine?), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits (none given), Pay (Target Compensation), Schedule (maybe mention work nights, weekends, holidays, winter breaks, varied schedules). We need to include only sections with real content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience" as content for Pay? Actually we have actual numbers: Minimum $17.35/hr, Midpoint $21.72/hr. Also note "Compensation Will Be Commensurate To Candidate Experience." That is somewhat placeholder but we have actual numbers, so we can include Pay section with those numbers and note that compensation is commensurate with experience.
Schedule: we have "May need to work nights, weekends, holidays or during winter breaks in a variety of weather conditions." Also "Schedules may vary according to conditions." So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: none given, so omit.
Skills: maybe not explicit; we could omit.
Qualifications: maybe same as Minimum Requirements? Could combine Requirements and Qualifications but we need to decide. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include Requirements and Qualifications separately if we have distinct content. Minimum Requirements is clearly requirements. Qualifications could be things like "Valid driver's license", "Kentucky applicator's license", "Ability to lift 50 lbs", etc. But those are already in Minimum Requirements. Might be redundant. Better to put all under Requirements and omit Qualifications if no distinct qualifications beyond requirements. However we could treat Minimum Requirements as Requirements, and maybe "Must be able to operate commercial mowing/landscaping equipment" as Qualification? But it's in description. Safer to include only Requirements and maybe Skills (like operating equipment, mixing chemicals). But we need to avoid thin sections.
Let's think: The posting includes:
- Minimum Requirements (education/experience, physical exam, driver's license, applicator license, lift 50 lbs, work nights/weekends etc)
- Position Description (overview)
- Essential Duties And Responsibilities (list)
- Compensation details
- Schedule info (nights, weekends, holidays, winter breaks, variable)
Thus we can have sections:
About the role
with the Position Description paragraph(s).
Responsibilities
with the Essential Duties list (as - ).
Requirements
with Minimum Requirements list (as - ).
Pay
with compensation details (maybe as ).
Schedule
with schedule info (as ).
We should not include Benefits, Qualifications, Skills unless we have content. We could put Skills as maybe "Ability to operate commercial mowing/landscaping equipment, mix and apply chemicals, perform snow removal" but that's already in duties. Better to omit.
Now we must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from Minimum Requirements, Position Description, Essential Duties, Compensation, Schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, Assistance and Accommodations.
We must not repeat job title.
We must not include Job ID.
We must format as HTML fragment only.
Let's extract details.
Minimum Requirements text:
"High school diploma/GED and two (2) years of relevant experience or equivalent combination of education and experience. Pre-employment physical exam required. Valid driver's license required and must be insurable by the University's insurance carrier. Kentucky applicator's license to handle pesticides. May be required to be able to lift up to 50 pounds. May need to work nights, weekends, holidays or during winter breaks in a variety of weather conditions."
We need to keep each as separate list items.
Position Description (About the role) text:
"The Groundskeeper II position will maintain lawns and landscape, including planting, trimming, mowing, seeding, and fertilizing university grounds. Maintain trees, mix and apply weed and insect control chemicals. Collect and haul trash and debris. Must be able to operate commercial mowing/landscaping equipment. This is a required personnel position that necessitates the employee’s physical presence in the workplace. The employee must also report to or remain at work during university emergencies or closures and maintain a valid, insurable driver’s license under the University’s insurance policy."
We can keep as paragraph(s). Could split into two paragraphs but one is fine.
Essential Duties And Responsibilities list:
We need to parse each duty sentence. They are separated by periods. Let's list them:
- Monitor garbage and recycling receptacles daily and clean as necessary.
- Monitor hardscape areas, including but not limited to sidewalks, parking lots, areas for accessible needs, walks, and planters for debris, fallen limbs, sticks, leaves, and garbage.
- Care for established lawns according to planned landscaping designs by mulching, aerating, weeding, removing thatch, or trimming/edging around landscape beds, walks, walls, or trees.
- Maintain the irrigation system.
- Prune or trim trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, ground covers, or hedges, using shears, pruners, or chainsaws.
- Assist with planting seeds, bulbs, foliage, flowering plants, grass, ground cover, trees, or shrubs, and apply mulch using gardening tools.
- Mow and edge using a string trimmer in assigned areas.
- Lawn aeration twice a year.
- Rake, mulch, and compost leaves as necessary.
- Mix and spray, or spread, fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides onto grass, shrubs, or trees, using hand or automatic sprayers or spreaders, according to state laws and mandates.
- Remove snow and ice from university walkways, roads, ramps, parking areas, and shuttle bus stops utilizing the appropriate snow removal equipment and spread salt in those areas.
- This position responds to emergencies and is considered a "required personnel" position.
- Schedules may vary according to conditions.
- Operate and maintain all equipment, including commercial mowing/landscaping equipment, motorized and non-motorized, operated by the Grounds Department, and report any issues.
- Conduct equipment and vehicle safety checks.
- Complete all required paperwork on time and attend required trainings and meetings.
- Perform duties as assigned by Foremen and Superintendent.
Note: Some of these are also schedule-related (Schedules may vary). We'll keep schedule separate.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. The schedule line "Schedules may vary according to conditions." appears in responsibilities list; we could move it to Schedule section but we must preserve all info. If we move it, we still preserve it. It's okay to not duplicate. We'll include schedule info in Schedule section, maybe combine with nights/weekends etc.
We also have "May need to work nights, weekends, holidays or during winter breaks in a variety of weather conditions." from Minimum Requirements. That's schedule-related as well. So Schedule section can combine those.
Now Pay section: "Target Compensation Minimum: $17.35/hr. Midpoint: $21.72/hr. Compensation Will Be Commensurate To Candidate Experience."
We should keep the numbers and note that compensation is commensurate with experience. We can phrase as a paragraph: "Target compensation: minimum $17.35/hour, midpoint $21.72/hour; compensation will be commensurate with candidate experience."
Now About the role: we have the Position Description paragraph.
Now Requirements: list items as above.
Now Responsibilities: list of duties (excluding schedule line maybe). We'll include all duties except the schedule line (we'll move schedule line to Schedule). Also we might include "This position responds to emergencies and is considered a 'required personnel' position." as duty.
Now Schedule: combine "May need to work nights, weekends, holidays or during winter breaks in a variety of weather conditions." and "Schedules may vary according to conditions." Possibly also note that employee must report to or remain at work during university emergencies or closures (that's from About the role). That's more about emergency duty, not schedule. But we could keep that in About the role.
Thus Schedule section:
May need to work nights, weekends, holidays, or during winter breaks in a variety of weather conditions. Schedules may vary according to conditions.
Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate.
Now output HTML fragment.
We'll structure:

We should not include any extra whitespace? It's fine.
Now let's craft the lists precisely.
Requirements list items:
- High school diploma/GED and two (2) years of relevant experience or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Pre-employment physical exam required.
- Valid driver's license required and must be insurable by the University's insurance carrier.
- Kentucky applicator's license to handle pesticides.
- May be required to be able to lift up to 50 pounds.
- May need to work nights, weekends, holidays, or during winter breaks in a variety of weather conditions.
Note: The last item duplicates schedule; but we already have schedule section. However the requirement includes that as a requirement. If we move it to schedule, we might lose it from Requirements. But we can keep it in both places? The instruction
Requirements
with Minimum Requirements list (as- ).
Pay

We could put Skills as maybe "Ability to operate commercial mowing/landscaping equipment, mix and apply chemicals, perform snow removal" but that's already in duties. Better to omit.
