Natural Resources Technician

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc as headings; can fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting. Key info: - Working Title: Natural Resources Technician (but we don't repeat as heading) - Job Class: Natural Resources Technician - Agency: MN Department of Natural Resources - Job ID: 96947 (metadata) - Location: New Ulm - Telework Eligible: No - Full/Part Time: Full-Time - Regular/Temporary: Unlimited - Who May Apply: Open to all qualified job seekers - Date Posted: 09/23/2026 - Closing Date: 09/29/2026 - Hiring Agency/Seniority Unit: Department of Natural Resources - Division/Unit: DNR Parks & Trails Region 4 - Work Shift/Work Hours: Day Shift / 7:00am to 5:30pm - Days of Work: Monday - Thursday - Travel Required: No - Salary Range: $21.73 - $30.20 / hourly; $45,372 - $63,057 / annually - Classified Status: Classified - Bargaining Unit/Union: 207 - Technical/AFSCME - Work Area: New Ulm Region - FLSA Status: Nonexempt - Designated in Connect 700 Program for Applicants with Disabilities: Yes Then description: "The work you'll do is more than just a job..." etc. Then details: "The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is seeking to fill one (1) permanent, full-time Natural Resources Technician position located in New Ulm, Minnesota. Days of work are Monday through Thursday, hours of work are 7:00am - 5:30pm." Then description of purpose: "This position exists to provide technical assistance to DNR Parks and Trails professional conservation resource managers..." Then tasks: physical labor, outdoors, prescribed fire, herbicides, chainsaw use. Then responsibilities list bullet points. Then Minimum Qualifications list. Then Preferred Qualifications list. Then Additional Requirements (driver's license, physical requirements, work eligibility, background check). Then Benefits section: list of benefits. Then other boilerplate: EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, etc. Remove. We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe a paragraph summarizing role), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (maybe combine abilities?), Benefits (list), Pay (salary range), Schedule (work shift/hours, days). Must not create sections with filler. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. - About the role: we have description of role, purpose, tasks. Good. - Responsibilities: we have bullet list of responsibilities. - Requirements: could be Minimum Qualifications (must have). Could also include Additional Requirements (driver license, etc). We'll treat Minimum Qualifications as Requirements. - Qualifications: could be Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: maybe we can extract abilities like ability to direct work, operate heavy equipment, chainsaw, herbicide, identify flora, communications, etc. But those are already in Minimum Qualifications. Could combine into Skills section but risk duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications into Requirements and Qualifications sections. Skills maybe not needed if covered. - Benefits: we have list. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: work shift/hours, days of work. We must not include sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details. About the role: combine the descriptive paragraphs: "The work you'll do is more than just a job. At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities.

This position assists in implementing and directing the natural habitat & cultural resource management activities carried out on lands administered by the Division of Parks and Trails in the Southern region of Minnesota. These tasks involve physical labor such as digging, lifting, shoveling, hauling, carrying, bending, pushing, and climbing. Most of the work will be performed outdoors in all weather conditions. Participation in prescribed fire/wild land fire is required. Herbicides and chainsaw use is required." We can keep that as paragraph(s). Might be long but okay. Responsibilities bullet list: from "Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:" then list: - Implement resource management activities to protect and improve wetland, grassland, and forest resources in accordance with division policy and procedure. - Control invasive species with hand pulling, mechanical (mowing, brush-sawing), and chemical methods. - Conduct prescribed burns and / or responds to wildfires and incidents as assigned. - Operate, maintain, clean and repair, or arrange repair of heavy equipment, vehicles, other equipment and tools so that they function properly, provide safe use, are functional for the anticipated life cycle of the equipment, and in top operating condition at all times. - Inventories and surveys plant and animal species to better evaluate community diversity/abundance. - Assists program staff with mentoring and training of field crews in plant identification, chainsaw safety, herbicide best management practices, and prescribed fire.

We'll keep each. Additional Requirements: we could incorporate into Requirements or maybe a separate section but we already have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Additional Requirements include driver's license, physical requirements, work eligibility, background check. Could be part of Requirements as well. But to avoid too many sections, we could add them to Requirements list as extra items. However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could merge Additional Requirements into Requirements section. Thus Requirements will include both Minimum Qualifications and Additional Requirements items.

We'll include these as list items.
