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. We need to extract content.
The posting includes:
- "What You Will Do": description of role, responsibilities. So we can have
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to extract content.
The posting includes:
- "What You Will Do": description of role, responsibilities. So we can have Responsibilities
with - items.
- "What You Need": includes Minimum Job Requirements (list of bullet-like paragraphs) and Desired Qualifications, Education/Experience, Work Location, Position commitment, Note to Applicants, Occasional travel, etc. Also includes Clearance, etc. We need to decide sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have no explicit Pay or Schedule info. So we should not include those sections.
We have Benefits: listed under "Where You Will Work": generous benefits package includes list. So we can have
Benefits
with .
We have Work Location: maybe under "Work Location" but not a standard heading; could be part of Requirements? Could be separate but not required. We can include under "About the role"? Not needed. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include About the role (maybe a brief summary). But we already have responsibilities. Could also include About the role as a short paragraph summarizing role. But we must not repeat job title as heading. "About the role" is allowed.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from posting.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes EEO statement at end, plus drug test, clearance details, etc. Those are not boilerplate? They are substantive (clearance, citizenship, drug test). We should keep them as they are relevant. The EEO statement is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the "Equal Opportunity:" paragraph is boilerplate; remove. Also the "New-Employment Drug Test:" maybe substantive? It's about policy; could keep but it's somewhat boilerplate. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The drug test is legal/policy; maybe keep? It's not EEO. Might be considered legal boilerplate but it's about employment condition. I'd keep it as it's relevant to eligibility. However the instruction says remove legal boilerplate. Might be ambiguous. Safer to keep only substantive job-related info; drug test is a condition of employment, so keep.
We also need to remove duplicated lines. There's some duplication: "Maintain quality evaluation and surveillance requirements data in QERTS and LAPS in accordance to assigned role." appears once. Not duplicated.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:
About the role
... summary? Could combine the first paragraph describing role as point-of-contact for QERTS, administrative support for Stockpile Finding Notifications and Investigations, etc. But we already have responsibilities list. Maybe About the role can be a short paragraph summarizing the position: "This position serves as LANL point-of-contact for NNSA's Quality Evaluation Requirements Tracking System (QERTS) and provides administrative support for Stockpile Finding Notifications and Investigations within the Weapon Systems Engineering (W) Division's Systems Surveillance Group (W-9)." That's from posting.
Then
Responsibilities
with items derived from "What You Will Do" bullet-like sentences.
List responsibilities:
- Serve as LANL point-of-contact for NNSA's Quality Evaluation Requirements Tracking System (QERTS), a database and execution software used to document and track surveillance work across the Nuclear Security Enterprise.
- Provide administrative support for Stockpile Finding Notifications and Investigations.
- Develop working knowledge of LANL surveillance tracking systems, including QERTS, LAPS, and SFIDS, through training, mentoring and hands-on experience.
- Maintain quality evaluation and surveillance requirements data in QERTS and LAPS in accordance with assigned role.
- Coordinate with surveillance engineers, program representatives, and partner organizations to collect, verify, enter, and transmit required surveillance information by established deadlines.
- Review system entries and supporting documentation to ensure information is accurate, complete, and consistent with applicable written requirements, procedures, federal requirements, and program planning documents.
- Support surveillance tracking and reporting through activities that may include generating monthly records, reviewing requirements and status reports, and identifying discrepancies or missing information.
- Maintain historical records and reference documents used to support surveillance tracking, anomaly reporting, and quality evaluation activities.
- Support change control activities and help identify and report data flow or system issues between QERTS and LAPS.
- Perform administrative activities, including monitoring timeline standards, tracking action items, and facilitating communication across organizations.
- Participate in monthly and quarterly meetings with QERTS representatives aimed at resolving issues and recommending improvements to the QERTS application.
- Maintain SFIDS information, including user permissions, anomaly data, deadlines, historical repository documents and system forms used for intake, anomaly reporting, and closure activities.
- Identify opportunities to improve data quality, streamline processes, support knowledge transfer, and improve the usability and effectiveness of surveillance tracking systems.
We need to ensure we didn't miss any: also "Support surveillance tracking and assurance of quality records, database management, and communication with internal and external partners to ensure surveillance work is accurately documented, monitored and reported." That's earlier; we can incorporate as part of responsibilities.
Now Requirements: Minimum Job Requirements list:
- Software Applications: Basic experience in business, administrative, or organizational computing systems, and applications; Entry-level experience using software applications such as databases, spreadsheets, tracking systems, or other tools used to enter, manage, review and report information.
- Data Entry, Transcription, and Records Accuracy: Ability to accurately transcribe, enter, review, and maintain data from source documents into electronic systems with attention to detail and consistency; Demonstrated ability to identify discrepancies, ask clarifying questions, and support accurate records management.
- Customer Service and Stakeholder Support: Demonstrated customer service experience, including the ability to respond professionally, communicate clearly, and support customers or stakeholders in a timely and helpful manner.
- Organization and Accountability: Ability to work independently, manage assigned tasks, follow established written requirements and procedures, and meet deadlines; Demonstrated ability to complete assignments accurately and on time.
- Teamwork and Communication: Ability to work effectively in a team environment and collaborate with coworkers, subject-matter experts, and internal or external stakeholders; Excellent written and oral communication skills, including the ability to document information clearly and share updates with stakeholders.
- Applicants must have the ability to obtain a Q clearance and Sigma 15 authorization.
- Education/Experience: Position requires a minimum of two years related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience directly related to Quality Assurance.
- Work Location: The work location for this position is onsite and located in Los Alamos, NM. All work locations are at the discretion of management.
- Position commitment: Regular appointment employees are required to serve a period of continuous service in their current position in order to be eligible to apply for posted jobs throughout the Laboratory. If an employee has not served the time required, they may only apply for Laboratory jobs with the documented approval of their Division Leader. The position commitment for this position is 1 year.
- Note to Applicants: Prior experience with LANL-specific systems such as QERTS, LAPS, or SFIDS is not required. The selected candidate will receive training, mentoring, and hands-on experience to develop working knowledge of these applications and related surveillance tracking processes. Candidates with strong attention to detail, customer service experience, data entry or records management skills, and the ability to learn new software applications are encouraged to apply.
- Occasional travel will be required.
- Due to federal restrictions contained in the current National Defense Authorization Act, citizens of the People's Republic of China-including the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau-as well as citizens of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), and the Russian Federation, who are not Lawful Permanent Residents ("green card" holders) are prohibited from accessing facilities that support the mission, functions, and operations of national security laboratories and nuclear weapons production facilities, which includes Los Alamos National Laboratory.
- Clearance: Q (Position will be cleared to this level). Selected applicants will be subject to a background investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Federal Government, and must meet eligibility requirements* for access to classified matter. This position requires a Q clearance, and obtaining such clearance requires US Citizenship except in extremely rare circumstances. Dependent upon the position, additional authorization to access classified information may be required, which may or may not be available to dual citizens. Receipt of a Q clearance and additional access authorization ultimately is a decision of the Federal Government and not of Triad.
- Eligibility requirements: To obtain a clearance, an individual must be at least 18 years of age; U.S. citizenship is required except in very limited circumstances. See DOE Order 472.2 for additional information.
- New-Employment Drug Test: The Laboratory requires successful applicants to complete a new-employment drug test and maintains a substance abuse policy that includes random drug testing. Although New Mexico and other states have legalized the use of marijuana, use and possession of marijuana remain illegal under federal law. A positive drug test for marijuana will result in termination of employment, even if the use was pre-offer.
We need to decide sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills.
We have Minimum Job Requirements (could be Requirements). Desired Qualifications: Limited or entry-level knowledge of NNSA technical business practices and policies; Previous experience with data entry or database software applications. That's Qualifications.
Skills: maybe we can extract from requirements like customer service, communication, organization, etc. But we could also put those under Requirements. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But headings are predefined; we can choose to include only those with real content. We have content for Requirements (minimum job requirements) and Qualifications (desired). Skills maybe not explicitly listed separate; we could omit Skills section.
Thus we will have:
Requirements
with items for Minimum Job Requirements (maybe split into sub-items? but we can just list each bullet as - containing the sentences). We need to preserve all detail; we can break into multiple
- for each bullet point.
Similarly
Qualifications
for Desired Qualifications.
Benefits: from "Where You Will Work": list of benefits.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, etc. We'll remove the Equal Opportunity paragraph. Also remove the "Directive 206.2 - Employment with Triad requires a favorable decision by NNSA indicating employee is suitable under NNSA Supplemental Directive 206.2. Please note that this requirement applies only to citizens of the United States. Foreign nationals are subject to a similar requirement under DOE Order 142.3A." That's about clearance; it's substantive? It's about eligibility; we might keep as part of Requirements or Qualifications? It's about clearance eligibility; we already have clearance details. Might be considered legal but it's about eligibility; I'd keep it as part of Requirements (clearance). However the instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is a directive about employment eligibility; it's not EEO but it's a legal requirement. Might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to keep only the clearance details we already have; we can omit the Directive 206.2 paragraph.
Also remove the "Additional Details Directive 206.2 - Employment with Triad requires a favorable decision by NNSA indicating employee is suitable under NNSA Supplemental Directive 206.
