Operator - Products (Splitter)
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove application instructions. We must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro: "What We Are Looking For This position is located at the Galena Park Splitter, a petroleum condensate processing facility. The facility consists of two units which split condensate into its various components, such as light and heavy naphtha, kerosene, diesel and gas oil. The Crude Condensate Splitter Process Operator is responsible for operating and maintaining the crude condensate splitter units while ensuring safe and efficient operations in compliance with Process Safety Management (PSM), health, safety, and environmental standards. This role requires a strong understanding of refinery processes, operational controls, and safety protocols. The operator will work closely with the maintenance, safety, and operations teams to monitor and optimize the splitter unit’s performance and handle troubleshooting, all while following operating and emergency procedures in place." That's about the role. Then "Key Responsibilities What You Will Do" with bullet list. Then "Position may be filled at various levels depending on experience and job skills of successful candidate." Then "Position Requirements Minimum requirements: Qualifications What You Need Education: High school diploma or equivalent.

Send and receive email, perform inventory accounting, and enter repair work orders." Then "Why Join Kinder Morgan" paragraph about company, then EEO statement, then "Job level and pay commensurate with experience and skill set." Then link. We must not include EEO boilerplate. Also must not include "Job level and pay commensurate with experience and skill set." because it's vague (commensurate with experience) - we should not create Pay section unless actual numbers given. So we omit Pay section. Also we must not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. There's no explicit benefits listed. So we omit Benefits. Schedule: there is explicit schedule info: "Ability to work in 12 hr rotational shift schedules (day and night shifts) including overtime, call-outs, weekends and holidays. The facility operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The rotating shift schedule is a 5/4, 12 hr schedule." Also mention call-out schedule etc. So we can include a Schedule section with that content. We need sections: About the role (maybe "About the role") - we have intro paragraph. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: maybe combine qualifications and requirements? The spec says we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should avoid thin sections. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we have both. Perhaps we can have "Requirements" covering education, experience, certifications, physical, ERT, etc. And "Skills" covering technical skills, computer skills, competencies. Or we could have "Qualifications" for education/experience/certs, and "Skills" for technical/computer/competencies. We'll decide. We must not create a section with filler. So ensure each section has substantive content. Let's extract: About the role: first paragraph(s) up to before "Key Responsibilities". We'll combine into a
. Responsibilities: bullet list under "Key Responsibilities What You Will Do". Items: - Process Operation: Operate and monitor the crude condensate splitter unit, ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient operations.

- for each.
Requirements: Could include education, experience, certifications/licenses, physical requirements, ERT requirements, working conditions, operator testing, operating procedures. Also mention "Position may be filled at various levels depending on experience and job skills of successful candidate." That's a note.
