HEAVY EQUIPMENT DIESEL MECHANIC
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. Need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate, no navigation, no EEO, no application instructions, no duplicated lines.
We need to parse the posting.
Key content:
- Position Information: includes link to Total Compensation Package (benefits). So we have benefits info: county paid employee health benefits after 30 days, county paid retirement benefits, vacation accruals, etc. Also mention total compensation package outlines benefits and annual earnings based on entry level salary.
- Under supervision, performs journey level mechanical work repairing and maintaining medium and heavy trucks and construction equipment; and performs related work as required.
- This is an Open Competitive/Countywide Promotional recruitment being conducted to fill a current full-time vacancy in Community Services Department. The list established from this recruitment may be used to fill future vacancies as they occur.
- For more information on this position, please see the Job Specification at URL.
- Minimum Qualifications: Four years of full-time paid experience as a journey level mechanic specializing in heavy equipment, diesel engines and hydraulic systems; OR completion of a recognized apprenticeship program for repair of heavy equipment; OR an equivalent combination of education and experience.
- License Or Certificate: A valid Class “A” Commercial Driver’s License must be obtained within six months of hire and must be maintained for continued employment in this classification. Basic mechanic's tools, including a toolbox, customarily used to perform the duties of this position are required at the time of appointment. A Hazmat Endorsement is required to run a lube truck and must be maintained for continued employment in this classification.
- The ideal candidate should possess: list of attributes (experience repairing..., strong diagnostic..., safety-focused..., ability to operate heavy equipment..., collaborative..., ability to work effectively in fast-paced team environment while providing excellent customer service.)
- Conditions of Employment: WCEA Non-Supervisory CBA covers position. Background checks will be conducted... fee $40 after Oct 1 2026 paid by employee. Employment contingent upon background check. Washoe County requires employees to reside in state of Nevada or neighboring California communities such as Truckee, South Lake Tahoe or Susanville as of first day of work. Washoe County hires all new employees at the minimum rate of the salary range and eligible employees may receive an annual merit increase of 5% until they reach the maximum salary for the classification. Upon promotion, current Washoe County employees are placed at the minimum rate of the salary range for the higher classification of the new position OR a promotional calculation, whichever is greater.
- What Happens Next: after application screened, notification via email; those who do not meet qualifications have one business day to file appeal; applicants who meet minimum requirements placed on unranked eligible list; examination waived per Personnel Handbook 5.160; candidates placed on unranked eligible list for department to interview; once referred, contacted by email or telephone; instructions about NeoGov account; contact Veronica North; etc. This is application instructions and process details; we need to remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the "What Happens Next" section entirely as it's application instructions. Also remove contact info? Probably yes, as it's part of application instructions. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should not include that.
- Also remove EEO statement at end.
- Also remove duplicated lines.
Thus we need to keep:
- About the role? Could be the description of duties: "Under supervision, performs journey level mechanical work repairing and maintaining medium and heavy trucks and construction equipment; and performs related work as required." Also mention recruitment type? Might be "About the role" includes that it's full-time vacancy in Community Services Department, open competitive/promotional, etc.
- Responsibilities: maybe the duties list.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications, License Or Certificate.
- Qualifications: maybe the ideal candidate should possess list.
- Skills: maybe the diagnostic etc.
- Benefits: from Total Compensation Package link: county paid employee health benefits after 30 days, county paid retirement benefits, vacation accruals, etc. Also mention total compensation package outlines benefits and annual earnings based on entry level salary.
- Pay: info about salary: new employees hired at minimum rate of salary range, eligible employees may receive annual merit increase of 5% until max, upon promotion placed at minimum rate of higher classification or promotional calc whichever greater. That's pay info.
- Schedule: not mentioned explicitly; maybe full-time vacancy implies full-time schedule. But we should not create Schedule unless posting actually states them. It says "current full-time vacancy". That indicates schedule is full-time. Could we include Schedule section with "Full-time"? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state full-time vacancy, so we can include Schedule with "Full-time". However we need to be careful: "full-time vacancy" is a statement about the vacancy, not necessarily schedule details but implies full-time. I'd include Schedule: Full-time.
- Also note residence requirement: Washoe County requires its employees to reside in the state of Nevada or neighboring California communities such as Truckee, South Lake Tahoe or Susanville as of their first day of work. That could be under Requirements or Conditions of Employment. Could be a separate section like "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Might fit under Requirements as a condition.
- Background check info: maybe also under Requirements? But it's condition of employment. Could be under Requirements as well. However we might want to keep it under Requirements or maybe a separate "Conditions" but we only have allowed headings list; we can use "Requirements" to include license, background check, residence, etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Heavy Equipment Diesel Mechanic". Use headings for sections.
We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics: e.g., "Four years of full-time paid experience as a journey level mechanic specializing in heavy equipment, diesel engines and hydraulic systems; OR completion of a recognized apprenticeship program for repair of heavy equipment; OR an equivalent combination of education and experience."
License: "A valid Class “A” Commercial Driver’s License must be obtained within six months of hire and must be maintained for continued employment in this classification. Basic mechanic's tools, including a toolbox, customarily used to perform the duties of this position are required at the time of appointment. A Hazmat Endorsement is required to run a lube truck and must be maintained for continued employment in this classification."
Ideal candidate list: we need to keep each bullet.
We need to format lists using - . For prose use
.
We need to decide which sections to include.
Potential sections:
- About the role: includes description of work, full-time vacancy, department, recruitment type.
- Responsibilities: maybe same as About the role? Could combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could have About the role covering duties and context.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications, License Or Certificate, Background check, Residence requirement.
- Qualifications/Skills: Ideal candidate should possess list (maybe split into Qualifications and Skills). But we could combine into one section "Qualifications" that includes both minimum qualifications and ideal candidate attributes. However we already have Requirements for minimum qualifications; Qualifications could be for preferred/ideal candidate. Skills could be for specific skills like diagnostic, troubleshooting, etc. But we can keep simple: maybe have "Requirements" for mandatory (minimum quals, license, background, residence). Then "Preferred Qualifications" for ideal candidate list. But the allowed headings list includes Qualifications, Skills. We could use "Qualifications" for ideal candidate list and "Skills" for diagnostic etc. However the ideal candidate list includes both experience and skills. Might be better to have one section "Qualifications" that includes the ideal candidate list (since it's not minimum but preferred). And maybe "Skills" for the diagnostic etc. But the list includes both experience and skills; we could split: "Qualifications" for experience repairing heavy trucks etc; "Skills" for diagnostic, safety-focused, ability to operate heavy equipment, collaborative, ability to work in fast-paced team, customer service. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into one section "Qualifications" that includes all ideal candidate attributes. That would be substantive.
Thus sections:
- About the role (description, full-time, department, recruitment type)
- Responsibilities (maybe we can omit if About the role covers duties). But we need to avoid duplication. The posting says "Under supervision, performs journey level mechanical work repairing and maintaining medium and heavy trucks and construction equipment; and performs related work as required." That's a duty. Could be under Responsibilities.
- Requirements (minimum quals, license, background check, residence)
- Qualifications (ideal candidate attributes)
- Benefits (from total compensation package)
- Pay (salary range info, merit increase, promotion placement)
- Schedule (full-time)
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "not specified". All have content.
Now we need to strip out boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, etc.
We must not include the link to Total Compensation Package as a heading? We can include the description of benefits in Benefits section, maybe mention the link but not as heading. The link is not essential; we can keep mention of "Total Compensation Package" but not as a heading. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep mention of the link? It's a URL; it's substantive? It's a reference. Could keep as part of Benefits section: "See the Total Compensation Package for details: [URL]" but maybe we can keep the URL as part of prose. It's not boilerplate. However the instruction says remove duplicated lines; the link appears once. It's okay.
But we need to be careful: The link is to Total Compensation Package; we can include it.
Now let's craft HTML.
We'll start with

We should not include "For more information..." maybe it's okay as it's substantive.
Now Responsibilities: maybe we can just repeat the duty sentence? But we already used it in About the role. To avoid duplication, we could put duty under Responsibilities and keep About the role more general. Let's split:
About the role: general info about recruitment, full-time vacancy, department, promotional nature, future vacancy list.
Responsibilities: the specific duty sentence.
