for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent. Remove boilerplate like note for internal applicants? That's substantive? It's about salary evaluation; but it's about salary but no specific number. It's internal applicants note. Should we keep? It's about salary evaluation but no specific salary; we can keep as prose maybe under About the role? It's a note. It's not boilerplate; it's relevant. We'll keep.
Job Location: we need to include location; could be in a short
under About the role or separate? Not a heading. We'll include as a paragraph.
Interview date: "If selected for further consideration, you will be contacted to schedule an interview for Wednesday, October 21, 2026." That's substantive; include as paragraph.

About the role
Note for internal applicants: Successful candidates already at rates above the posted salary will be evaluated on an individual basis to determine final salary outcome. Job Location: Cole Camp Maintenance Facility (820 W Main Street, Cole Camp, MO 65325). If selected for further consideration, you will be contacted to schedule an interview for Wednesday, October 21, 2026. Why You’ll Love This Position The maintenance worker performs routine, entry-level duties related to the maintenance of the state's roadways and facilities. Responsibilities are performed under direct supervision. MoDOT will bring candidates onto the team as entry-level, intermediate, or senior level, based on your skills and experience. This opening is for one of our CAREER-LADDER positions which offers the opportunity for career advancement without having to participate in the competitive selection interview process. As you continue to learn, acquire new skills, and gain experience, you can be promoted to a higher-level position.
But we need to separate maybe the "Why You’ll Love This Position" as part of About the role. Could keep as paragraph.
Then Responsibilities: list duties.
We need to extract responsibilities list from the block: "Maintain state highway systems, including filling roadway joints and cracks and patching potholes; flagging and directing traffic; setting up signs, cones, arrow boards, and other traffic control devices; loading, unloading, spreading, and hauling materials and supplies; cutting and clearing brush; removing trash and debris from roadsides; cleaning and clearing ditches.Maintain, clean, and repair state highway facilities, including repairing and replacing road signs and guardrails; cleaning curbs and gutters; painting buildings and equipment; and servicing equipment and machinery.Operate vehicles to transport employees, equipment, machinery and/or materials, or to warn oncoming traffic, plow snow and spread ice control materials; mow right of way using tractor mower and hand tools; operate auger, trencher, backhoe, forklift, and various trucks (e.g., dump, aerial boom, bucket, and platform).May repair bridge decks (full and partial) and drains, and clean bridge bents/caps at heights on ladders or utilizing scaffolding.May install signs, including structural and large signs at overhead positions, inspect truss signs, pour concrete sign footings, weld and cut steel sign posts, and repair and maintain break away and/or overlay signs."
We need to split into list items. Could break by semicolons and periods. But we need to preserve all info; we can create with each distinct duty as - . Might be many items; we can group similar but must not lose detail. Let's create list items for each major bullet:
- Maintain state highway systems, including filling roadway joints and cracks and patching potholes
- Flagging and directing traffic
- Setting up signs, cones, arrow boards, and other traffic control devices
- Loading, unloading, spreading, and hauling materials and supplies
- Cutting and clearing brush
- Removing trash and debris from roadsides
- Cleaning and clearing ditches
- Maintain, clean, and repair state highway facilities, including repairing and replacing road signs and guardrails
- Cleaning curbs and gutters
- Painting buildings and equipment
- Servicing equipment and machinery
- Operate vehicles to transport employees, equipment, machinery and/or materials, or to warn oncoming traffic, plow snow and spread ice control materials
- Mow right of way using tractor mower and hand tools
- Operate auger, trencher, backhoe, forklift, and various trucks (e.g., dump, aerial boom, bucket, and platform)
- May repair bridge decks (full and partial) and drains, and clean bridge bents/caps at heights on ladders or utilizing scaffolding
- May install signs, including structural and large signs at overhead positions, inspect truss signs, pour concrete sign footings, weld and cut steel sign posts, and repair and maintain break away and/or overlay signs
That seems comprehensive.
Now Requirements: Minimum Qualifications and Special Working Conditions.
Minimum Qualifications list:
- High School Diploma or GED/HiSET
- Valid Driver's License
- A passing grade on the written portion of the commercial driver's license (CDL) exam is required prior to hire date.
- Must pass the driving portion of the CDL exam with tanker endorsement, no air brake restrictions (Class B), and interstate status (either Excepted Interstate [EI] or Non-Excepted Interstate [NI]) within 60 days after being hired into this position.
- Successful completion of a work simulation examination and a medical-physical examination.
Special Working Conditions: we can include as list items under Requirements or separate section? Could be part of Requirements. We'll include as list items under Requirements as well, maybe under a subheading? But we only allowed headings h3 for sections; we can't add subheadings. We'll just include them as list items.
Special Working Conditions items:
- Job requires significant physical stamina and endurance, including the ability to move materials by hand, operate hand tools, and perform stationary flagging.
- Job requires outdoor work that involves exposure to physical hazards, health and safety risks, and/or adverse or otherwise undesirable characteristics in the environment, including risk of physical injury from carrying out duties in heavy traffic areas, on or near heavy equipment or machinery, and with hazardous chemicals or materials.
- Job may require overtime and nighttime work, and requires the ability to respond to emergency situations within a reasonable time period.
- Job may require operation of vehicles to plow snow and spread ice control materials.
Now Benefits: MoDOT offers an excellent benefits package that includes a defined pension plan, generous amounts of leave and holiday time, and eligibility for health insurance coverage. Also mention Total Compensation Calculator and interactive tool. Also "Your total compensation is more than the dollars you receive in your paycheck." Also "Visit our CAREERS page to explore all we have to offer." Also "At MoDOT you will play a key role..." etc. Those are more about benefits/value. We'll capture benefits as list items maybe.
Benefits list:
- Defined pension plan
- Generous amounts of leave and holiday time
- Eligibility for health insurance coverage
- Access to an interactive Total Compensation Calculator to view comprehensive benefits
- Total compensation exceeds base pay (includes benefits)
We could also include "Visit our CAREERS page to explore all we have to offer." but that's more a link; we can include as paragraph.
We must not include application instructions like "Click HERE" etc. The posting includes "Visit our CAREERS page to explore all we have to offer." and "The Total Compensation Calculator and other applicant resources can be found HERE." and "CLICK HERE to view our mission, values, and tangible results." Those are application instructions or links; we should remove them as per instruction: Remove application instructions. So we should omit those lines. Also "Visit our CAREERS page to explore all we have to offer." is maybe not an instruction but a suggestion; but it's still directing to a page; might be considered application instruction? Safer to remove. The instruction says: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove any lines that are instructions to click or visit. So we will omit those.
Thus Benefits section will contain only the substantive benefits: defined pension plan, generous leave, health insurance eligibility, total compensation more than paycheck, Total Compensation Calculator (maybe we can mention that it's available but not link). The phrase "We have created an interactive Total Compensation Calculator. This tool provides a comprehensive view of benefits and more that are offered to prospective employees." That's substantive; we can keep as prose.
Thus Benefits section:
MoDOT offers an excellent benefits package that includes a defined pension plan, generous amounts of leave and holiday time, and eligibility for health insurance coverage. Your total compensation is more than the dollars you receive in your paycheck. MoDOT has created an interactive Total Compensation Calculator that provides a comprehensive view of benefits and more offered to prospective employees.
No list needed but could be list. We'll keep as prose.
Now ensure we don't repeat job title. Not included.
