Lead Building Engineer

Colliers · St Paul, MN · 4 wk ago
On-siteEngineering$26–$45/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About You", "In this role, you will…", "What You’ll Bring", "Area/Location Specific", "Approximate Hourly Range", "Benefits". Also maybe "Why Colliers?" but that's more marketing. We need to use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content. We have: - About the role: maybe the description about role: "As the Lead Building Engineer, you’ll be responsible for ensuring the maintenance systems are running efficiently..." That's responsibilities. Could be "About the role" heading with prose summarizing role. - Responsibilities: list of duties: maintain and check daily operating logs..., ensure building systems..., assist in development of annual budget..., demonstrate understanding..., respond to client requests, prioritize work orders, follow up, proactive inspections, alarm testing, implement preventative maintenance, develop relationships, manage multiple priorities and reports (inventory, records, schedules). Also maybe "Maintain and check daily operating logs for the following: air conditioning, fan units, graph charts, utility meters and general complaints." That's a list. - Requirements: maybe "At least 5 years’ experience... Minnesota 2nd Class Grade C Boiler Operator license (required). Refrigeration Universal Recovery Certificate (required). Solid working knowledge of HVAC systems/maintenance, electrical, plumbing, energy management systems and other building mechanical equipment. Proficiency in Microsoft Office. Flexibility to be on-call... Valid driver’s license. Working knowledge of work order and preventative maintenance software systems. Holding any necessary/required licenses based on building and jurisdictional requirements." - Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can combine? The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we have headings list; we can choose to include only those with content. Could have "Requirements" and "Qualifications" separate if distinct. However the posting lumps experience, licenses, knowledge, skills. Could treat "Requirements" as mandatory (experience, licenses) and "Qualifications" as knowledge/skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Might be okay to have both if they have substantive content. - Skills: maybe "Strong organizational and analytical skills, Excellent communications skills". Also "customer-centric approach, positive outlook". Could be under Skills. - Benefits: detailed list. - Pay: "Approximate Hourly Range for this Role: $26.00 to $45.00". Also note about compensation ranges. That's Pay. - Schedule: Not explicitly given. There's mention of flexibility to be on-call after-hours/weekend emergency requests. That's schedule aspect but not explicit schedule. Could we create Schedule section? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Schedule not explicitly stated; only mention of on-call flexibility. Might be considered schedule info but not explicit schedule like "full-time", "Monday-Friday". Safer to omit Schedule section. - About the role: we have a paragraph about why Colliers? but that's marketing. Could still have About the role with description of role and environment. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, visa, etc. Also remove "Make your next move an expert one" repeated at start and end. Also remove "Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States..." etc. Also remove "Direct applicants only please, no agencies." etc. Also remove "Colliers respects diversity..." etc. Also remove "If you are a qualified applicant..." etc. We need to preserve all substantive information: that includes location (St. Louis Park, MN), hourly range, benefits details, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills. We need to format lists with

    We omitted Schedule. Check for any boilerplate left: we removed EEO, visa, accommodation, etc. Also removed repeated "Make your next move an expert one". Also removed "Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States..." etc. Also removed "Direct applicants only please, no agencies." Also removed "Colliers respects diversity..." etc. Also removed "If you are a qualified applicant..." etc. We kept location: St. Louis Park, MN? Not yet included. Should we include location somewhere? It's substantive. Could add to About the role or a separate section like "Location". But we only have allowed headings list; we could add location under About the role paragraph. Let's add location in About the role: "Located in St. Louis Park, MN". Also we might include "Area/Location Specific: St. Louis Park, MN". Let's incorporate. Update About the role paragraph. Also ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: "Flexibility to be on-call to respond to after-hours / weekend emergency requests." That's a requirement or skill. Could add under Requirements or Skills. Let's add under Requirements as a bullet: "Flexibility to be on-call to respond to after‑hours and weekend emergency requests." Also "Holding any necessary/required licenses based on building and jurisdictional requirements." Already in Requirements. Also "Working knowledge of work order and preventative maintenance software systems." Already in Qualifications. Also "Proficiency in Microsoft Office (MS Outlook, MS Word, MS Excel)" Already. Also "Solid working knowledge of HVAC systems/maintenance, electrical, plumbing, energy management systems and other building mechanical equipment." Already. Also "At least 5 years’ experience in building/property maintenance or engineering experience." Already. Also "Minnesota 2nd Class Grade C Boiler Operator license (required)." Already. Also "Refrigeration Universal Recovery Certificate (required)." Already. Also "Valid driver’s license." Already. Also "Strong organizational and analytical skills" Already. Also "Excellent communications skills" Already. Also "Customer-centric approach and positive outlook." Already. Also "Assist in the development of the annual budget and RFP process for budgeted projects." Already. Also "Demonstrate a clear understanding of operating procedures and proper chemical treatment levels for cooling towers and boilers." Already. Also "Maintain and check daily operating logs for the following: air conditioning, fan units, graph charts, utility meters and general complaints." Already. Also "Ensure that building systems and tenant service requests are handled efficiently at the most economical cost." Already. Also "Respond to client requests, prioritize and assign work orders to be performed by Building Engineers, and follow up to ensure minimal downtime." Already. Also "You like to be proactive by conducting regular inspections, alarm testing, and implementing preventative maintenance programs." Already. Also "You also know how to develop and maintain strong relationships with property managers, suppliers and department leaders." Already. Also "And with a keen eye for details, you’ll be able to successfully manage multiple priorities and reports, including inventory, records, and schedules." Already. Also "In this role, you will…" we captured. Also "Why Colliers? Our enterprising environment needs your expertise..." we omitted as marketing; not needed. Also "Our nimble, decentralized culture can provide you with a wealth of opportunities to learn about our business and quickly gain experience to accelerate your career." Could be part of About the role but it's more about company culture; could be omitted as not substantive to role? Might be considered fluff but still substantive? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. This is about company culture and opportunities; it's substantive but maybe not required for role. However we can include in About the role as a sentence about environment. But we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is not filler. Could add a sentence: "Colliers offers an enterprising, nimble, decentralized culture that provides opportunities to learn and accelerate your career." That seems okay. Let's incorporate into About the role. Also "Our compensation ranges are determined by role, level, and location. The range displayed on this job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position across all national locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training." Already captured in Pay paragraph. Also "Employees (and their families) are provided options for employer subsidized medical benefits including RX, dental, vision as
