Instrument Technician I - Clover, VA
for section headings
- Use - for lists
- Use
for prose
- Don't repeat job title as heading
- Don't put Job ID/requisition as heading (fold into short
or drop)
- Preserve ALL substantive information
- Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions)
- Include section ONLY when real specific content exists
- Never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text
- Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless stated
- Output ONLY HTML fragment, no /, no markdown code fences
Let me parse the content:
The posting starts with military-affiliated boilerplate - that's boilerplate, should be removed.
Then company description - "Dominion Energy is committed..." - that's boilerplate-ish but maybe keep as "About the role" or "About the company"? The rule says "About the role" heading. Could include a brief company description in About the role.
Job Summary: "Inspect, test, service, repair, calibrate, and install..." - that's the core job summary.
Specific Business Unit Duties: detailed responsibilities for offshore wind farms.
Auto req ID 486062BR - minor metadata, fold into short
or drop. I'll drop it.
Minimum Education Required: High School/GED
Additional Qualifications/Responsibilities: broken down by Instrument Technician I, II, III with experience requirements.
Technical Skills Required: continued with many bullet points.
Compliance And NERC Standards
Electric Grid And Substation Knowledge
Daily Reporting And Recordkeeping
Internal And External Compliance To Safety Standards
Leadership And Mentorship
Tools & Equipment
Certificates/Security Clearances/Other Physical Requirements: physical requirements.
Education Requirements: detailed breakdown by level and education.
Working Conditions: percentages and descriptions.
City: Clover, State: Virginia
Job_Category: Technician
Job Code: Operations_Specialist
Affiliate Sponsor: Dominion Energy
I need to organize into sections. Possible sections:
- About the role (company + job summary)
- Responsibilities (job summary + specific business unit duties)
- Requirements (minimum education, experience by level, technical skills, compliance, grid knowledge, reporting, safety, leadership, tools, physical requirements)
- Qualifications (education requirements by level)
- Working Conditions
- Location (city, state)
- Additional Information (job category, job code, affiliate sponsor) - maybe fold into a short
But rule: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine related items.
Let's think: The "Additional Qualifications/Responsibilities" includes experience requirements for three levels. That's part of requirements. The "Technical Skills Required" is also requirements. The "Compliance And NERC Standards", "Electric Grid And Substation Knowledge", "Daily Reporting And Recordkeeping", "Internal And External Compliance To Safety Standards", "Leadership And Mentorship", "Tools & Equipment" are all requirements/skills. The "Certificates/Security Clearances/Other Physical Requirements" is physical requirements. The "Education Requirements" is qualifications.
I could have:
- About the role (company mission + job summary)
- Responsibilities (specific business unit duties)
- Requirements (minimum education, experience levels, technical skills, compliance, grid knowledge, reporting, safety, leadership, tools, physical requirements)
- Qualifications (education requirements by level)
- Working Conditions
- Location
But "Requirements" would be huge. Maybe split into "Experience Requirements", "Technical Skills", "Compliance & Regulatory Knowledge", "Physical Requirements". However rule: prefer few substantive sections. But each has substantial content. The rule says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So if a section has real content, it's okay.
Let's see the content volume:
- Experience requirements for three levels: substantial.
- Technical skills: many bullet points.
- Compliance & NERC: substantial.
- Electric Grid: substantial.
- Daily Reporting: one bullet.
- Safety: one bullet.
- Leadership: substantial.
- Tools: substantial.
- Physical Requirements: substantial.
Maybe group into:
- Experience & Education Requirements (combining minimum education, experience levels, education requirements)
- Technical Skills & Knowledge (technical skills, compliance, grid knowledge, tools)
- Core Competencies (daily reporting, safety, leadership)
- Physical Requirements
- Working Conditions
- Location
But the rule says use headings like "About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule". So they expect standard headings. I should use those standard headings when appropriate.
The posting has:
- Job Summary -> About the role
- Specific Business Unit Duties -> Responsibilities
- Minimum Education Required, Additional Qualifications/Responsibilities, Technical Skills, Compliance, Electric Grid, Daily Reporting, Safety, Leadership, Tools, Physical Requirements -> Requirements (or split into Requirements and Skills)
- Education Requirements -> Qualifications
- Working Conditions -> Working Conditions
- City, State -> Location
- Job Category, Job Code, Affiliate Sponsor -> maybe Additional Information
But "Skills" heading is suggested. Could have "Skills" for technical skills, compliance, grid, tools. "Requirements" for experience, education, physical. "Qualifications" for education breakdown.
Let's map:
