Pump & Reservoir Technician
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". Do not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Here we have compensation & benefits: starting wage $45.8634 hourly, benefits description, HRA VEBA $3000/year, overtime rate 2x regular wage. Also schedule: rotating on-call shift, 24-hour coverage. So we can have Pay section (maybe combine with Benefits? They said separate sections for Pay, Benefits, Schedule). We'll include Pay: starting wage. Benefits: description of benefits package, HRA VEBA, overtime, etc. Schedule: rotating on-call shift.
Also we have About the role: description of role, responsibilities. Responsibilities: list of key responsibilities. Qualifications: minimum experience, education, desirable, etc. Skills? Not explicitly listed but could infer from qualifications. We could include Skills section if there is specific content; but we should not create empty sections. The posting mentions "Professional license or registration", "Valid driver license", "General machine work experience". Those could be skills. But better to put them under Qualifications or Requirements. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include those that have content. We have About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (list). Benefits (description). Pay (wage). Schedule (on-call). Skills maybe not needed; we could omit if no explicit skills list. However there is "Desirable education, experience, training and certifications:" which could be considered Skills. But we already have Qualifications covering that. To avoid duplication, we could put those under Qualifications. So we will not create Skills section.
We must remove duplicated lines: The posting repeats some lines like "Professional license or registration: Current Water Distribution II certification required." appears twice. We'll keep only once.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract:
Opening dates: "This posting opens on Friday, September 25, 2026, and will close on Monday, October 12, 2026." This is metadata; we can fold into a short
maybe under About the role or separate? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph at top with the opening/closing dates.
Then: "Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) is seeking a Pump and Reservoir Technician to support the maintenance and inspection of 30 water reservoirs and 26 pump stations. This role includes both independent fieldwork and collaboration with a skilled operations team. The position offers opportunities to investigate and diagnose system anomalies, supporting continued development within the water distribution field." That's About the role.
Key responsibilities list: bullet points:
- Inspect and maintain transmission main appurtenances, water pumps, pump stations, water storage reservoirs, grounds, water quality instrumentation, and pressure control equipment in the EWEB water system.
- Troubleshoot system failure regarding pumps, motors, control valves, valves, incoming power, and hydraulic problems in the distribution system.
- Design and manage maintenance programs for transmission/distribution pumping and storage equipment. Work with engineering as the field contact for capital improvement projects
- Operate and monitor the water system utilizing SCADA.
- Work a rotating on-call shift to provide 24-hour coverage of the transmission, distribution, pumping, and storage facilities.
- Electronically document findings in the field by maintaining, updating, and creating spreadsheets, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) or other forms of document tracking.
Also "Work Schedule: This position requires working a rotating on-call schedule and acts as a first responder to system emergencies." That's schedule.
"Type and frequency of personal contact required (general public, customers, organizations, and EWEB employees): Daily contact with EWEB employees, contractors and general public." Could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? It's about contact; we could include in About the role or maybe as a separate paragraph under Responsibilities. We'll include in About the role maybe.
Compensation & Benefits: "The starting wage for this position is $45.8634 hourly. EWEB values total worker health both at work and at home, and provides a robust compensation & benefits package – Read more about our benefits. This position is subject to the terms, conditions, and benefits of EWEB's collective bargaining agreement with IBEW Local 659, which includes an overtime rate of 2x the regular wage for all overtime worked and an annual HRA VEBA contribution of $3000/year paid by EWEB."
Thus Pay: starting wage $45.8634 hourly. Benefits: robust compensation & benefits package, overtime rate 2x, HRA VEBA $3000/year.
Qualifications:
Minimum Experience: Five years’ field experience working with a water distribution and pumping system of relative size, plus: Professional license or registration: Current Water Distribution II certification required. Must be eligible to test and obtain Water Distribution WDIV certification within 5 years.
Or: Minimum Experience: Three years’ experience as a Water Treatment Operator, plus: Professional license or registration: Current Treatment Operator II certification required. Must be eligible to test and to obtain Water Distribution WDIV certification within 5 years.
Education: High School Diploma or equivalent
Desirable education, experience, training and certifications: Oregon Health Authority, Drinking Water Program Water Treatment certifications, Oregon Building Codes Division electrical licenses, DWS Backflow Assembly Tester certification or Specialist, welding experience or certifications. General machine work experience.
Valid driver license: Yes, Class A CDL, or the ability to obtain within 6 months of hire.
Professional license or registration: Current Water Distribution II Certification and the ability to obtain Water Distribution WDIV within 5 years. (duplicate)
Apprenticeship or other education/training required as a condition of employment, progression or advancement: Continuation of employment is contingent upon obtaining an Oregon State certification in Water Distribution, Grade WDIV, within 5 years; must obtain a first aid/CPR card.
Please note: Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the United States. EWEB is unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
We should keep that note as part of Qualifications maybe.
WHY CHOOSE EWEB? and WHY CHOOSE EUGENE? are promotional; could be considered boilerplate? They are not EEO/legal but still maybe considered fluff. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "WHY CHOOSE EWEB?" and "WHY CHOOSE EUGENE?" are not explicitly listed as boilerplate to remove, but they are promotional. However they are substantive? They describe culture, benefits, location. Might be considered filler but not explicitly prohibited. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could include them under About the role or Benefits? But they are not about benefits. Might be okay to keep as a short paragraph under About the role? However they are not directly about the role. Safer to omit them as they are not essential job details. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "WHY CHOOSE EWEB?" is substantive about employer culture. Could be considered part of Benefits? But we already have Benefits section. Might be okay to include a short paragraph under Benefits about culture? However they said "Benefits" section for benefits like health care, vacation etc. The "WHY CHOOSE EWEB?" includes progressive work culture, safety, etc. That's more about work environment. Could be part of About the role? Hmm.
Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections, we could incorporate that into About the role as a brief description of the organization. But we already have About the role describing the job. Might be okay to add a short paragraph after the role description about EWEB's mission. However that might be considered boilerplate? Not sure.
Similarly "WHY CHOOSE EUGENE?" is about location; could be considered not essential. Might be omitted.
EEO statement: we must remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The posting includes "EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY EWEB takes pride..." That's definitely boilerplate to remove.
TOBACCO, SMOKE AND VAPOR-FREE CAMPUS POLICY: also boilerplate to remove.
Other Requirements: "This description is intended to represent key areas of responsibility..." That's boilerplate; remove.
Thus final HTML will have:
