Meter Electrician C - A
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We have job summary: "Install and maintain self-contained electric meters energized up to 240 volts in the shop and on customer premises." Also note about posting end date etc but we drop metadata.
We have description: includes essential job functions for three classifications (C, B, A). The posting includes responsibilities for each classification. We need to extract duties/responsibilities. Could combine into a list.
We have requirements: Education/Experience: Associates Degree in electrical/electronic technology, equivalent etc. State Driver License, medical certification card if required. Also preferences: within 24 months complete training program, work overtime, etc. Also for B and A have additional experience requirements (24 months as lower classification). Also physical demands: ability to lift 50 pound weight, walk long distances.
We have qualifications: maybe same as requirements. Could treat Education/Experience as Qualifications.
Skills: Proficiently use computers and applications, effectively communicate, promote positive image, comply with code, report hazards, attend training, etc.
Benefits: "In addition to a competitive compensation, AEP offers a unique comprehensive benefits package that aims to support and enhance the overall well-being of our employees." That's generic but still mentions benefits package. It's not specific details but it's a statement about benefits. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state "unique comprehensive benefits package". That's a statement, albeit vague. Should we include? It says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". The benefits statement is vague but still mentions benefits package. It's not specific like health insurance, 401k, etc. Might be considered filler? The instruction says avoid filler/placeholder text. "unique comprehensive benefits package" is vague but still a statement about benefits. I'd lean to include Benefits section with that sentence.
Pay: The posting includes compensation grade and range: "$31.33 - $58.62". Also compensation grade U005-150. So we have pay info. Include Pay section.
Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's mention of overtime, extended daily shifts, weekends, late shifts. That's schedule info but not explicit schedule like "Full-time, Monday-Friday". Could we create Schedule section? The posting mentions work overtime as needed including extended daily shifts and weekends, work late shifts as needed. That's schedule-related. Might be considered schedule info. However instruction: never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state overtime etc. Could be considered schedule. I'd include Schedule with those details.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting, but we can format them.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes EEO statement at end; we must remove that. Also "Get job alerts by email..." etc. Also "If you don't have an account..." etc. Also "#APCO Compensation Data" maybe keep compensation data but remove the hashtag line? The line "#APCO Compensation Data" is likely a tag; we can drop it as it's not substantive. Keep compensation grade and range.
Also "Physical Demand Level for this job is: M – Medium Work: ..." that's substantive; we can include under Requirements or maybe as a separate section? Could be part of Requirements. We'll include under Requirements.
We also have "Principal Line of Progression" details; that's substantive about career path. Could be under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Career Progression". Not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings are only those specified. So we need to fit into those categories. Could put under Requirements or Qualifications. Probably Requirements.
We need to avoid duplication: The posting repeats similar responsibilities for each classification; we can combine into a single list of duties (maybe grouped by classification). But we must preserve all substantive information; we can list them under Responsibilities with subheadings? Not allowed to add extra headings besides the allowed ones. Could use
to describe each classification's duties. That's okay.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each duty bullet.
