Plant/Pipeline Mechanical Technician I/II

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. From posting: - Salary: See Position Description; then later gives salary ranges for I and II. So we have Pay info: Plant/Pipeline Mechanical Technician I: $102,024.00 - $130,540.80 Annually; Plant/Pipeline Mechanical Technician II: $112,569.60 - $144,019.20 Annually. So we can include Pay section with those details. - Schedule: Not explicitly given. It says Full-Time, maybe schedule not specified. No schedule details like shift, hours. So we should not include Schedule section. - Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. There's "Our Commitment" etc but not benefits like health, retirement. So we should not include Benefits unless specific. There's no benefits listed. So omit. - About the role: Could use Overview paragraph. That's about role. So we can have About the role section with overview text. - Responsibilities: There's "Key Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:" followed by list. So we can make Responsibilities section with ul li. - Requirements: There's "Ideal Candidate's Background Includes:" then Ideal Experience, Ideal Skills and Abilities, Ideal Knowledge, Ideal Training and Education, Required License or Certificate. That's more like qualifications/requirements. We can split into Requirements (maybe experience) and Qualifications (certifications, education) and Skills (skills and abilities). But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. - Requirements: Could be Ideal Experience (years). Also maybe Required License or Certificate? But that could be Qualifications. - Qualifications: Could be Ideal Training and Education (high school diploma or equivalent) and maybe license/certificate. - Skills: Ideal Skills and Abilities (for I and II) plus Ideal Knowledge. We need to avoid duplication and keep substantive content. Let's extract: Overview paragraph: "The Plant/Pipeline Mechanical Technician I/II will perform maintenance and repair functions on industrial equipment used in water treatment, recycled water, water purification plants, pumping stations, and hydroelectric plants. This position will also work on related mechanical equipment components used for water treatment, storage, distribution, and flood control. They will be required to perform maintenance and repair duties on water conduits and equipment. As well as perform a variety of tasks relative to assigned areas of responsibility. This position will be assigned to work at one of Valley Water's three water treatment plants in Santa Clara County and can be assigned to work rotating on-call weekends after approximately 1-2 years." Also "Our Commitment:" and "About Valley Water:" and "Who We Are:" are boilerplate? Might be considered not substantive for role? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "Our Commitment:" is about diversity; could be considered EEO boilerplate? Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to omit. "About Valley Water:" is generic mission; could be considered boilerplate. "Who We Are:" also. Probably omit. Key Responsibilities list: Let's capture each bullet. List items from text: - Perform preventive maintenance on treatment plant and pipeline facilities through methods such as fluid and filter changes; - confer with operations staff to solve problems and determine needs; - maintain water conduits and equipment including vacuum breakers, air releases, and water valves; - perform confined space related duties. - Read and interpret plans and specifications; - estimate labor and materials for proposed work, perform work in accordance with these documents; - make preliminary sketches of work to be performed or completed; - locate, examine, clarify, identify, record and mark locations of creeks, pipelines, telemetry, test cables, and underground cables. - Diagnose mechanical problems; recommend preventative and corrective repair; make estimates of labor, materials, and supplies required to complete assigned work; request required materials. - Diagnose and repair meter pumps, calibrators, flocculation, and filtration methods through vibration analysis and temperature reading and other inspection techniques; confer with operations and engineering staff to solve problems and determine needs. - Operate a variety of hand tools and power equipment including welding equipment, lathes, drill presses, sanders, trucks, forklifts, boom lift, scissor lifts, and overhead cranes. - Maintain records of work performed; enter and retrieve data from a Computerized Maintenance system (CMMS); ensure proper completion of reports including confined entry documentation. We need to split into li items. Some items have multiple sentences separated by semicolons; we can keep as one li. Now Ideal Experience: - Level I - One (1) years of experience with the maintenance of mechanical equipment and components. - Level II - One (1) year of post-apprenticeship experience in the maintenance of mechanical equipment and components. In lieu of completing an apprenticeship, a candidate should possess four (4) years of journey-level experience in the maintenance of mechanical equipment and components. Ideal Skills and Abilities: For I and II. We need to capture both sets? Could combine but note differences. Plant/Pipeline Mechanical Technician I: Learn the methods and techniques involved in the maintenance and repair of water treatment and distribution and systems including pumps, valves, gauges, and chemical feeds. Learn to operate a variety of mechanical maintenance equipment. Learn to read, interpret, and work from plans, drawings, and specifications. Learn to estimate small mechanical jobs. Learn occupational hazards and standard safety practices including Cal OSHA practices. Learn procedures to maintain records of work performed. Learn to diagnose operational problems in mechanical equipment and recommend corrective action. Learn to prepare clear and concise reports. Understand and follow verbal and written instructions. Communicate clearly and concisely, both orally and in writing. Establish and maintain effective working relationships with those contacted in the course of work. Plant/Pipeline Mechanical Technician II: In addition to the qualifications for a Plant/Pipeline Mechanical Technician I: Operate a variety of mechanical maintenance equipment. Read, interpret, and work from plans, drawings, and specifications. Procedures to maintain records of work performed. Diagnose operational problems in mechanical equipment and recommend corrective action. Perform the most complex maintenance and repair functions on District water treatment and distribution systems. Perform mechanical maintenance on pipelines, equipment in pumping stations, hydroelectric plants, and water treatment plants. Estimate labor and materials required to correct mechanical problems.

Ideal Training and Education: Must have equivalent to the completion of the twelfth grade. Required License or Certificate: Possession of, or ability to obtain, an appropriate, valid California driver's license. Individuals who do not meet the driver's license requirement due to a disability will be considered for a reasonable accommodation on a case-by-case basis. Plant/Pipeline Mechanical Technician I: Possession of a D-1 Water Distribution Operator certification issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Department of Drinking Water (DDW) within 18 months of appointment. Plant/Pipeline Mechanical Technician II: Possession of a D-2 Water Distribution Operator certification issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Department of Drinking Water (DDW) within 24 months of appointment. Now we need to map to sections. About the role: Overview paragraph (maybe also include "Our Commitment"? but we decided to omit). We'll put overview. Responsibilities: the list. Requirements: Ideal Experience (years). Could also include driver's license? But that's license/certificate maybe Qualifications. Qualifications: Ideal Training and Education (high school diploma) plus Required License or Certificate (driver's license, D-1/D-2 cert). Could also include "Must have equivalent to completion of twelfth grade." and license/cert. Skills: Ideal Skills and Abilities (for I and II) plus Ideal Knowledge. Pay: salary ranges. We should not include Benefits or Schedule. Now ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We'll not. We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags. We'll use

for each section heading. We'll need to wrap content in

for prose,

• for lists. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. We must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now craft HTML. Let's draft:
