We need to decide sections.
About the role: position summary paragraph.
Responsibilities: essential functions list.
Requirements: maybe combine qualifications and education + experience? Could separate Qualifications (education) and Requirements (experience). But we have both. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. We need to decide what goes where.
Qualifications: likely education and certifications. Requirements: experience and maybe other mandatory items.
Let's allocate:
Qualifications:
- High school diploma or equivalent required.
- Completion of a formal, accredited or certified maintenance craft training program or related Military experience desirable.
- Additional college level coursework in math and science desirable.
Requirements:
- Prior Operations experience in a Generating Station or similar Industrial Facility required.
- Prior Operations experience in a Combined Cycle Plant desirable.
- Prior Maintenance experience in mechanical, electrical, or Instrument crafts desirable.
- Ability to qualify and maintain competency in the skill areas (list a-e) required.
- Must recertify annually as a Plant Technician II.

- Must be able to follow established protective measures including wearing required PPE.
- Must be self-motivated and capable of performing required tasks with little or no direction.
- Must be able to work rotating shift (maybe schedule). But schedule separate.
Skills: technical and soft competencies.
Schedule: "Will work a rotating shift." Also maybe mention working in all areas indoors/outdoors, entry into confined spaces, accessing equipment at heights etc. Those are working conditions, not schedule. But schedule section only for schedule info. We could include rotating shift. Could also include shift work? The posting says "Will work a rotating shift." That's schedule.
We could also include Working Conditions as part of Responsibilities? But we have no heading for Working Conditions. Could incorporate into Responsibilities or Requirements? The instruction says only use those headings; we can't add new headings. So we need to fit working conditions somewhere else, maybe under Responsibilities (as part of duties) or Requirements (as physical requirements). Physical requirements could be part of Requirements. Let's put physical requirements under Requirements as well.
Thus Requirements will include: experience, certification/recertification, team member, driver's license, PPE, self-motivated, ability to work rotating shift? Actually schedule separate.
But we have schedule heading for rotating shift. So we can put rotating shift under Schedule.
Thus Requirements: experience, recertification, team member, driver's license, PPE, self-motivated.
Physical requirements like wearing PPE, ability to follow protective measures, etc. Could be under Requirements as well.
Now Skills: technical and soft competencies.
Now About the role: summary.
Now Responsibilities: essential functions list.
