Procurement Officer II **INTERNAL ONLY**

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive information. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - Introduction: description of recruitment, internal recruitment only, grade, location, etc. Could be "About the role" maybe. - Main Purpose of Job: description of Procurement Officer II responsibilities. - POSITION DUTIES: detailed duties. - Minimum Qualifications: options etc. - Notes: substitution details. - Selective Qualifications: motor vehicle license. - Desired Or Preferred Qualifications: one year experience using Statewide finance system applications; Certified Maryland Procurement Officer. - Limitations on Selection: internal recruitment only (already mentioned). - LICENSES, REGISTRATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS: motor vehicle license, procurement professional certification within one year. - Benefits: "STATE OF MARYLAND BENEFITS" but no detail given; just heading. The instruction says: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It says "Benefits STATE OF MARYLAND BENEFITS". That's just a heading with no detail. Likely we should not include Benefits because no specific benefits described. So omit. - Pay, Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. - Also there is "FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS" about application process, which we must remove as application instructions. - Also "EXAMINATION PROCESS" etc: that's part of selection process; maybe we can include under "Selection Process" but not required headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map content to these. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (introduction + main purpose), Responsibilities (position duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications + selective qualifications + licenses), Qualifications (desired/preferred), Skills maybe not needed. Could combine. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for each section. We must use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like grade STD0018, location 580 Taylor Avenue, Annapolis, internal recruitment only, etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. We need to remove duplicated lines. Let's extract substantive content: Introduction: "This is a position specific recruitment for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Finance and Administrative Service. This recruitment will be used to fill current vacancies for the position and may be used to fill future vacancies in the same classification/function. Future vacancies may also be filled via other recruitments. The resulting eligible list will be maintained for one year. INTERNAL RECRUITMENT - CURRENT MDNR PERMANENT, CONTRACTUAL, AND SEASONAL EMPLOYEES ONLY** GRADE STD0018 LOCATION OF POSITION 580 Taylor Avenue, Annapolis" We can keep that as prose. Main Purpose of Job: "The Procurement Officer II oversees end-to-end procurement processes, manages vendor relationships, and is a lead level on a team of procurement professionals. The Procurement Officer II is experienced in the competitive procurement process and is capable of completing more complex procurements independently without much oversight from supervisors. In addition, the Procurement Officer is capable of interpreting and understanding the Code of Maryland Regulations Regulation Title 21, State Finance and Procurement Articles, Board of Public Work advisories, and DNR policies and procedures." POSITION DUTIES: long paragraph with many sentences. We need to keep all substantive info. Could break into list items for duties? The instruction: Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are not explicitly a list but we could treat each sentence as a list item? Might be better to keep as prose

    . But we could split into list for clarity but must preserve all info. The instruction says use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we don't have an explicit list, we can use

      . Safer to use

      for prose. Minimum Qualifications: two options with details. Could present as

      • each option. Notes: substitution details. Selective Qualifications: motor vehicle license. Desired Or Preferred Qualifications: one year experience using Statewide finance system applications; Certified Maryland Procurement Officer. LICENSES, REGISTRATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS: motor vehicle license (again) and procurement professional certification within one year. We need to avoid duplication. The motor vehicle license appears in selective qualifications and licenses section; we should combine. We must not repeat same info. Let's structure:

        About the role

        ... introduction + main purpose ...

        Responsibilities

        ... position duties ...

        Requirements

        • Option 1: Seven years of experience, three years of experience in contract management or procurement involving duties such as: soliciting, evaluating, negotiating and awarding contracts and ensuring compliance with governmental procurement laws, regulations and conditions and an additional four years of professional contract management experience or professional procurement experience.
        • Option 2: Six years of experience, two years of experience in contract management or procurement involving duties such as: soliciting, evaluating, negotiating and awarding contracts and ensuring compliance with governmental procurement laws, regulations and conditions and an additional four years of professional contract management experience or professional procurement experience.
        Then maybe a

        for notes about substitutions? Could be part of Requirements as well. We could add a

        Qualifications

        for desired/preferred and selective qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections. Maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But headings limited to those; we can have both. We need to include Selective Qualifications (motor vehicle license) and Desired/Preferred. Let's do:

        Qualifications

        • Selective: Current possession of a motor vehicle operator’s license valid in the State of Maryland.
        • Desired/Preferred: One year of experience using the Statewide finance system applications; Certified Maryland Procurement Officer granted by the Maryland Procurement Academy.
        Also include Licenses, Registrations and Certifications: procurement professional certification from Maryland Department of General Services within one year of appointment. That's a requirement/certification. Could add to Qualifications list as well. Add: "Employees must obtain and possess certification as a Procurement Professional Certification from the Maryland Department of General Services within one year of appointment." Now we need to include internal recruitment limitation? Already in About the role maybe. We also need to include grade STD0018 and location. Let's craft About the role paragraph: "This is a position specific recruitment for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Finance and Administrative Service. This recruitment will be used to fill current vacancies for the position and may be used to fill future vacancies in the same classification/function. Future vacancies may also be filled via other recruitments. The resulting eligible list will be maintained for one year. INTERNAL RECRUITMENT - CURRENT MDNR PERMANENT, CONTRACTUAL, AND SEASONAL EMPLOYEES ONLY. GRADE STD0018. LOCATION OF POSITION: 580 Taylor Avenue, Annapolis, MD 21401." We need to keep the double asterisks? Probably not needed. Now Responsibilities: combine Main Purpose and POSITION DUTIES? Actually Main Purpose is about role; Responsibilities is duties. We'll put Main Purpose in About the role? Might be better to keep About the role as introduction only, and Responsibilities include both main purpose and duties. But we can split. Let's put About the role: introduction only (recruitment details, grade, location, internal). Then Responsibilities: main purpose + position duties. Thus:

        About the role

        This is a position specific recruitment for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Finance and Administrative Service. This recruitment will be used to fill current vacancies for the position and may be used to fill future vacancies in the same classification/function. Future vacancies may also be filled via other recruitments. The resulting eligible list will be maintained for one year. INTERNAL RECRUITMENT - CURRENT MDNR PERMANENT, CONTRACTUAL, AND SEASONAL EMPLOYEES ONLY. GRADE STD0018. LOCATION OF POSITION: 580 Taylor Avenue, Annapolis, MD 21401.
