Management$44.706–$54.943/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented. Must remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay: The posting includes "$44.706 - $54.943 / hour Starting salary is dependent upon qualifications, but in most cases is no higher than the midpoint for the range." That's pay info. So we can include Pay section with that content. Schedule: Not mentioned? There's mention of on-call for after-hour emergencies rotating basis. That's schedule info? Could be schedule: on-call rotating basis. Might be considered schedule. The posting does not give regular hours. It mentions on-call for after-hour emergencies. That could be schedule info. We'll include Schedule section with that detail. Benefits: Not mentioned. No benefits info. So omit Benefits. Skills: There's a "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities" section. That's skills. So we can include Skills section with that content. Qualifications: There's "Minimum Requirements Of Work" and also "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities" separate. Qualifications could be the minimum requirements (education, experience). We'll put Requirements maybe for essential functions? Actually we have sections: About the role (nature of work), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (maybe minimum requirements?), Qualifications (maybe knowledge, skills & abilities?), Skills (maybe same as qualifications?). But we need to follow instruction: use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content appropriately. We have: - About the role: NATURE OF WORK paragraph. - Responsibilities: ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS list (many bullet points). We'll put as
  • . - Requirements: Minimum Requirements Of Work (education, apprenticeship, 5 years experience). Could be Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities" is qualifications. But we also have Skills heading. Could treat Knowledge, Skills & Abilities as Skills. But we need both Qualifications and Skills sections. Could split: Qualifications = Minimum Requirements? Actually we already used Requirements for that. Then Qualifications could be something else like "Must possess a valid driver's license and a safe driving record." That's also a requirement. Hmm. Better: Use Requirements for minimum requirements (education, experience). Use Qualifications for "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities". Use Skills for maybe "Ability to use email, computerized work order systems..." but that's within knowledge, skills & abilities. Might be redundant. But instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Knowledge, Skills & Abilities into Skills section, and not have Qualifications separate. But we need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We can omit Qualifications if we don't have distinct content beyond what's in Skills. However we have Minimum Requirements which could be Qualifications. Let's think: The posting has "Minimum Requirements Of Work" and "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities". Those are two distinct blocks. So we can map: - Requirements: Minimum Requirements Of Work (education, experience, etc.) - Qualifications: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (the list of KSAs) - Skills: maybe we could omit or combine with Qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could merge Knowledge, Skills & Abilities into Qualifications and not have Skills. But then we would have both Requirements and Qualifications. That's okay. But we also have Pay and Schedule. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. We'll omit Skills, Benefits. Now we need to preserve all substantive information. Must not lose details. Let's extract content. About the role: The NATURE OF WORK paragraph: "Highly skilled, journey level work in the maintenance, construction, alteration, and repair of a variety of City-owned buildings and facilities, combined with responsibility for providing field leadership and coordination of facilities projects and work assignments. Employees in this classification possess demonstrated proficiency in one or more skilled building trades, which may include carpentry, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, painting, masonry, roofing or other related facilities trades. Lead Facilities Tradesworkers are not required to possess journey level expertise in every trade. Rather, they are expected to apply strong technical knowledge, sound judgement and leadership skills to coordinate work involving multiple trades and to recognize when specialized trade expertise is required. In addition to performing skilled trades work, employees serve as project or field leads on assigned projects; coordinate the work of other trades employees; assist in planning and prioritizing assignments; identify and procure materials, and resources needed to complete work; monitor work for quality and completion; and communicate project status to Facilities and Fleet supervision. Lead Facilities Tradesworkers provide work direction and field leadership but do not exercise formal supervisory authority. Employees may assume a leadership role when supervisors are unavailable. This position is required to be on-call for facilities related after-hour emergencies, including snow emergencies, on a rotating basis with other Lead Tradesworkers." That's the nature of work. We'll put in

    . Responsibilities: ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS list. We'll extract each bullet point as

Note there is repetition: "Must possess five (5) years..." and "At least five (5) years...". We'll keep both as separate li? Might be redundant but we must preserve all substantive information. We'll include both. Qualifications: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities list: We need to extract each bullet. The paragraph: "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities In The Following Areas Demonstrated journey-level knowledge and skill in at least one building trade, which may include carpentry, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, painting masonry, roofing or another related facilities trade.Working knowledge of building systems and sufficient knowledge of other facilities trades to effectively plan and coordinate multi-trade work and identify when specialized technical expertise is required.Demonstrated ability to lead work assignments a projects, provide effective direction to coworkers, coordinate the work of others, and promote accountability for quality and timely completion.Demonstrated ability to exercise sound judgement, troubleshoot problems, establish priorities and make effective decisions in the field.Thorough knowledge of hand and power tools, materials, equipment, methods and safety practices associated with the employe's skilled trade.Working knowledge of the occupational hazards and appropriate safety precautions associated with building construction, repair and maintenance.Working knowledge of applicable building and related codes and the ability to recognize when additional technical or regulatory expertise is required.Ability to read and interpret blueprints, schematics, specifications, operating and maintenance manuals, drawings, and wiring diagrams.Ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing, including providing clear work direction and communicating project status, problems and recommendations to employees and management.Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with supervisors, co-workers, other city employees, contractors, vendors and the public.Ability to use email, computerized work order systems and other technology required to document and coordinate facilities work.Must possess a valid driver's license and a safe driving record." We need to split into sensible items. Could be each sentence separated by period. We'll make
  • for each distinct statement. Let's split: - Demonstrated journey-level knowledge and skill in at least one building trade, which may include carpentry, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, painting masonry, roofing or another related facilities trade. - Working knowledge of building systems and sufficient knowledge of other facilities trades to effectively plan and coordinate multi-trade work and identify when specialized technical expertise is required. - Demonstrated ability to lead work assignments a projects, provide effective direction to coworkers, coordinate the work of others, and promote accountability for quality and timely completion. - Demonstrated ability to exercise sound judgement, troubleshoot problems, establish priorities and make effective decisions in the field. - Thorough knowledge of hand and power tools, materials, equipment, methods and safety practices associated with the employee's skilled trade. - Working knowledge of the occupational hazards and appropriate safety precautions associated with building construction, repair and maintenance. - Working knowledge of applicable building and related codes and the ability to recognize when additional technical or regulatory expertise is required. - Ability to read and interpret blueprints, schematics, specifications, operating and maintenance manuals, drawings, and wiring diagrams. - Ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing, including providing clear work direction and communicating project status, problems and recommendations to employees and management. - Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with supervisors, co-workers, other city employees, contractors, vendors and the public. - Ability to use email, computerized work order systems and other technology required to document and coordinate facilities work. - Must possess a valid driver's license and a safe driving record
