- Notice about recruiters etc. This is boilerplate/legal; should be removed.
- Global Job Applicant Privacy Notice: also boilerplate.
We need to decide sections.
We have:
- About the role: Could be Position Summary? Or maybe "About the role" includes Position Summary and maybe intro about company? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings.
We have:
- About the role: Could include Position Summary and maybe the intro about Zoetis? But "About Zoetis" is separate. However we can combine "About the role" as the Position Summary (what the role entails). The intro about company maybe not needed as a separate section; but we could include it under About the role? The instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph about the company under About the role? Might be okay. But we need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the company description (Zoetis is world's largest..., plant recognized..., etc.) and also the About Zoetis paragraph later. Both are substantive. We could combine them under About the role or maybe under a separate section like "About Zoetis" but that's not in the allowed headings list. The allowed headings are limited to those examples; we should only use those headings. So we need to fit company info into one of those sections, likely About the role. Responsibilities: we have Position Responsibilities bullet list. Requirements: Could be Education and Experience? Or maybe Requirements includes Education and Experience plus Physical Position Requirements? Usually Requirements includes education/experience, technical skills, physical requirements. Qualifications could be similar but we need to decide. Skills: Technical Skills and Competencies Required. Benefits: we have Benefits Include. Pay: Not mentioned except $500 sign on bonus (that's a bonus, not base pay). No base pay or salary range. So we should NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does not state base pay, only sign on bonus. So we should not include Pay. Schedule: Hours: 1st Shift, 7:15am - 3:45pm. Overtime, weekends, and holidays may be required. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. We need to decide what goes into Requirements vs Qualifications. The instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have Education and Experience, Technical Skills, Physical Position Requirements. Could split: Requirements could be Education and Experience + Physical Position Requirements. Qualifications could be Technical Skills? Or maybe Qualifications includes Education and Experience, and Skills includes Technical Skills. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings; we need to decide which to use. We have Education and Experience (High school degree or equivalent. BS in Biological sciences preferred. Preference given to applicants with relevant experience in biological production and/or aseptic manufacturing.) That's qualifications. Technical Skills and Competencies Required: Basic mechanical and troubleshooting skills. Mammalian cell culture practices and techniques are desirable. Good communication and interpersonal skills, computer skills, and working knowledge of metric system. Fundamental understanding of bioreactors/fermentors is desirable. Physical Position Requirements: Exposure to chemicals, fumes, odors, noise, live steam, temperature fluctuations, biohazards, continuous standing and lifting to a maximum of 50 lbs. We could make Requirements = Education and Experience + Physical Position Requirements. Qualifications = Technical Skills and Competencies Required. Or vice versa. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see content length. Education and Experience: a few sentences. Physical Position Requirements: a sentence. Technical Skills: a few sentences. If we split into Requirements (Education+Physical) and Qualifications (Technical Skills), we have two sections each with decent content. Alternatively, we could combine Education and Experience and Technical Skills into Requirements, and Physical Position Requirements into Qualifications? But Physical Position Requirements is more about requirements, not qualifications. Usually qualifications are education/experience/skills. Physical demands are often under Requirements or a separate section like Physical Requirements. But we don't have that heading. Could put under Requirements. Thus we could have: - About the role (company intro + position summary) - Responsibilities (list) - Requirements (Education and Experience + Physical Position Requirements) - Qualifications (Technical Skills and Competencies Required) - Benefits (list) - Schedule (hours) We must not include Pay. Now we need to format: Use
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.
We need to remove boilerplate: navigation, legal, EEO, etc. So we cut out the notice about recruiters, Global Job Applicant Privacy Notice.
We also need to cut out duplicated lines? There's some duplication: Understand, follow, and complete process documentation in support of GMP appears both in Position Summary and Responsibilities. Also Understand and follow safety policies appears both. We should preserve all substantive information; but if it's duplicated, we might keep both occurrences? The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate identical sentences that appear multiple times. However we need to be careful not to lose meaning. The duplicated lines are exactly same sentences: "Understand, follow, and complete process documentation in support of GMP." and "Understand and follow safety policies as it relates to biological and chemical components and equipment to protect personnel and maintain product quality." They appear in Position Summary and Responsibilities. We should keep only one instance? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines. So we need to ensure we don't repeat identical sentences.
Thus we need to craft the content without repeating those sentences.
We need to include all substantive info, but we can combine them.
Let's extract unique bullet points.
Position Summary (prose):
- Work in a manufacturing laboratory setting using mammalian cell culture practices and techniques.
- Understand, follow, and complete process documentation in support of GMP.
- Understand and follow safety policies as it relates to biological and chemical components and equipment to protect personnel and maintain product quality.
Position Responsibilities (list):
- Perform processes and operate equipment required for production of bulk viral antigen.
- Understand and apply good cell culture practices as it relates to viral and antibody production.
- Operate equipment involved in downstream processing of production bulk fluids (e.g., tangential flow filtration, hollow-fiber filtration, sterile filtration, etc.).
- Using knowledge of bioreactors/fermentors and support equipment, apply skills to identify mechanical problems and maintain equipment.
- Understand, follow, and complete process documentation in support of GMP. (duplicate)
- Understand and follow safety policies as it relates to biological and chemical components and equipment to protect personnel and maintain product quality. (duplicate)
Thus we can combine: Responsibilities list will include the unique items: perform processes/operate equipment for bulk viral antigen; understand/apply good cell culture practices for viral/antibody production; operate equipment involved in downstream processing (list); using knowledge of bioreactors/fermentors and support equipment, apply skills to identify mechanical problems and maintain equipment. Then we can also include the documentation and safety policies maybe as part of Responsibilities? But they are already in Position Summary. Since we removed duplicates, we can keep them only in Position Summary (prose). That satisfies preserving all substantive info (they appear once). Good.
Education and Experience:
- High school degree or equivalent.
- BS in Biological sciences preferred.
- Preference given to applicants with relevant experience in biological production and/or aseptic manufacturing.
Technical Skills and Competencies Required:
- Basic mechanical and troubleshooting skills.
- Mammalian cell culture practices and techniques are desirable.
- Good communication and interpersonal skills, computer skills, and working knowledge of metric system.
- Fundamental understanding of bioreactors/fermentors is desirable.
Physical Position Requirements:
- Exposure to chemicals, fumes, odors, noise, live steam, temperature fluctuations, biohazards, continuous standing and lifting to a maximum of 50 lbs.
Benefits:
