Lead Groundsworker

. For sections we use

. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. But we can include that phrase if it's part of pay description? The rule: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". So we should avoid having a section that only contains such filler. For Pay section we have actual numbers plus the phrase "However, offer amount will be commensurate with candidate’s experience, education, skills, and training." That's partly filler but we also have concrete ranges. It's okay to include the sentence as part of the pay description; it's not just filler. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. There's none explicit but there is GENERAL INFORMATION about hiring only US citizens etc. That's substantive? It's a requirement. Should we include? It's about eligibility. Could go under Requirements. Now craft HTML. Structure:

About the role

Position purpose paragraph.

Responsibilities

• ... each duty as separate li? The duties are long sentences; we could break into multiple li items. The instruction: use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the duties into list items. We'll need to parse the duties text into sensible bullet points. Could keep as one big li but better to split. We have duties under "Duties & Responsibilities" with several paragraphs each starting with a bold heading like "Lead Groundskeeping & Irrigation", "Equipment", "Training", "Recordkeeping". We can make each bold heading as a li and include subdetails maybe as part of same li. Simplify: create li for each major duty area. We'll need to extract content. Let's copy duties text: "Lead Groundskeeping & Irrigation Serve as the Lead Groundsworker in overseeing the work of several grounds staff engaged in planting, fertilizing, watering, and spraying ornamental plants, shrubs, hedges, trees, lawns, and flowers or other grounds maintenance work in an assigned area of a campus.Lead staff engaged in grounds activities of a general nature such as construction of flower beds, maintenance of drainage systems, resurfacing of athletic fields and facilities, removal of brush and trees, collection of trash, blowing debris from parking lots and walkways, and laying of concrete and asphalt.Prepare and coordinate work schedules and assign work according to well established guidelines and procedures.

We'll make li for each. Now Requirements section: include Special Instructions to Applicant (driver's license, physical exam, background check), Physical Demands, Environmental Factors, Special Conditions (screening, background check, sensitive position, mandated reporter, general information). Also maybe FT/PT: Full-time? But schedule not needed. We'll create list items.

Skills: the long SKAs list. We'll need to break into list items maybe each ability as separate li. That's many. Could group but still list. We'll produce li for each bullet separated by periods? The SKAs list is a paragraph with many abilities separated by periods. We'll split at each period that ends a sentence. Might be many but okay. We'll produce li for each distinct ability. Let's extract SKAs text: "Regular and reliable attendance is required.Thorough knowledge of methods, materials, and tools and equipment used in planting, cultivating, and caring for flowers, shrubs, lawns, and trees.General knowledge of common plant diseases, pests, and weeds.General knowledge of approved methods and materials used in their control and eradication, horticultural methods and materials.General knowledge of planting and growing requirements of plants commonly grown in California.Ability to lead the work of others through inspection and evaluation of work, interpreting policies and explaining methods and procedures.Ability to plan, coordinate, and perform specialized grounds keeping in the care and maintenance of campus grounds.Knowledge of basic grounds maintenance procedures including mowing, edging, raking, and weeding.

Be careful to not include any markdown fences. Let's craft.
