POWER PLANT MECHANIC.
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to extract duties list: The duties paragraph includes multiple sentences. We can break into list items.
Duties:
- Performs general powerhouse mechanical equipment maintenance.
- Performs periodic and unscheduled maintenance/repair of equipment common to hydroelectric facilities including turbines, generators, governors, spillway and intake hoist equipment, pneumatic devices, HVAC equipment, etc.
- Performs machine work of varying degrees of difficulty and exactness. Work may include shaping, turning, boring, grinding, milling, layout, and assembly of finished pieces into a final product meeting all tolerance and functional requirements.
- Performs a variety of types of welding (oxygen-acetylene, shielded metal-arc, TIG, MIG), cutting (oxygen-acetylene, carbon arc), brazing, and soldering operations.
- Performs other support duties such as installing and repairing piping systems where pipefitter and plumbers' skills are required in conformance with applicable standards.
- Operates hand and power tools, jackhammers, pavement breakers, chipping hammers, vibrators and grinders.
We could combine some but keep as list.
Requirements: The posting includes "Conditions of employment" bullet points: Appointment may be subject to a suitability or fitness determination, as determined by a completed background investigation. Pre-employment Physical Required. Valid State Driver's License Required. This position requires heavy lifting of up to 45lbs.
Also there is "PHYSICAL EFFORT:" and "WORKING CONDITIONS:" sections under Requirements? Actually they appear after Qualifications? The text: after "Minimum Qualifications (Screen Out Element): ..." then "PHYSICAL EFFORT: ..." then "WORKING CONDITIONS: ..." then Additional information about male applicants etc. Those are part of Requirements? Likely they are part of Requirements section. The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we have Requirements and Qualifications separate. The "PHYSICAL EFFORT" and "WORKING CONDITIONS" are likely part of Requirements. Also "Conditions of employment" is part of Requirements.
Thus Requirements list items:

But many of these are generic boilerplate; we need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The above includes many generic statements that may be considered boilerplate. However the instruction says: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The benefits paragraph is generic but not exactly EEO; it's about benefits. However the rule says: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. The posting does state benefits in generic terms, but it's still a statement about benefits. Should we include it? The rule 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") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state benefits generically, but it's still content. However it's vague; but it's still stating that there is a comprehensive benefits package. Might be considered filler? The examples of filler include "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". The benefits statement is not exactly those; it's a generic statement but still some content. I'd lean to include a Benefits section? But the instruction also says: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. The benefits statement is thin. Might be better to omit Benefits section because it's not specific. The rule says never create Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state them, albeit generically. But the phrase "comprehensive benefits package" is vague. I'd say it's still stating benefits, so we could include a Benefits section with that paragraph. However we also have to remove boilerplate; that paragraph might be considered boilerplate. Hard to decide.
Given the instruction to "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." and the benefits paragraph is thin and generic, I'd omit Benefits section.
Similarly, Pay and Schedule not present.

But many of these are overlapping with Requirements. Actually the text after "Additional information" seems to be part of Requirements/Qualifications mixture. The posting lumps many items under "Additional information". We need to decide what belongs to Qualifications vs Requirements. The heading "Qualifications" appears before "Who May Apply:" etc. Then after that there is "Minimum Qualifications (Screen Out Element):". Then after that there is "PHYSICAL EFFORT:" and "WORKING CONDITIONS:" which are likely Requirements. Then "Additional information" includes many items that could be either Requirements or Qualifications. But given the instruction to have sections for Requirements and Qualifications, we should split
for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to extract duties list: The duties paragraph includes multiple sentences. We can break into list items. Duties: - Performs general powerhouse mechanical equipment maintenance. - Performs periodic and unscheduled maintenance/repair of equipment common to hydroelectric facilities including turbines, generators, governors, spillway and intake hoist equipment, pneumatic devices, HVAC equipment, etc. - Performs machine work of varying degrees of difficulty and exactness.
