Quality Technician
About the role
with paragraph(s) containing that description. Then "Your Responsibilities" list: bullet points. SoResponsibilities
with- ... each bullet.
Then "Essential Skills And Experience" includes high school diploma, basic computer skills, familiarity with lab environment, etc. Also "Good To Have" bullet list. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications or Skills. We need to decide.
We have sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We can map.
"Essential Skills And Experience" could be Requirements (must have). "Good To Have" could be Qualifications (preferred). Also there is "Physical requirements and working conditions" maybe part of Requirements.
Also "Other Considerations" includes language, cross-training, willingness to work shifts, authorization to work in US, drug test, clean shaven etc. That could be Requirements as well.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Pay section: they gave salary range $32.50 - $34.50, plus bonus OIP 5% Annual. That's specific, so we can include Pay section.
Benefits: they list many benefits, specific. So Benefits section.
Schedule: they mention rotating schedule including nights, weekends, holidays; ability to work machine paced continuous process 24/7; shift differential etc. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not include sections with placeholder like "not specified". All we have is specific.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like bullet points exactly as given (maybe slight rephrase but preserve meaning). We should not omit any bullet.
Let's extract sections.
About the role: The first paragraph: "Your Role As Quality Technician, you will be responsible for accurate performance and communication of all laboratory tests to determine wheat/flour quality and verify finished product meets customer, regulatory and Ardent Mills requirements. You will also maintain and calibrate lab equipment to ensure accuracy of testing; actively participate in Food Safety audits and inspections and follow up and implementation of corrective action. To Succeed, You Must Be Able To Deliver results in first-time situations by inspiring others and working to earn trust every day Serve others with understanding, respect, and care Operate with simplicity, clarity and transparency Deal with and drive change Organize, prioritize and own multiple tasks while meeting or exceeding deadlines Learn and apply new technology and share your knowledge with others Above all you will be expected to carry out all your activities with reliability, integrity, compliance and in a safe, environmentally responsible, and efficient manner."
We need to keep that as prose. Could split into paragraphs but one
is fine. Responsibilities: list bullet points: - Perform wheat/flour quality analysis in all areas within required parameters of certification program and customer specifications - Proficiently perform analytical laboratory techniques using basic lab tools - Perform routine maintenance and calibration on the machines - Communicate results to customers using appropriate computer software - Data entry for paperwork generation and record keeping - Acting as a front-line leader, positively influencing operator behavior and reporting and acting on quality and food safety concerns - Provide back-up to Quality Manager and lab team - Assist with food safety inspections and audits - Any other duties as assigned by management We need to keep each as
- .
Essential Skills And Experience (must have):
- High School diploma or GED equivalent
- Basic skills with computer applications, to include Microsoft Office Suite, with the ability to learn and use new computer programs
- Familiarity with lab environment or knowledge of lab techniques
Also physical requirements and working conditions (maybe part of Requirements). Let's list them under Requirements or maybe under Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide where each piece goes.
We could put:
Requirements: High School diploma or GED equivalent; Basic computer skills; Familiarity with lab environment; Physical requirements and working conditions (list); Other Considerations (language, cross-training, willingness to work shifts, authorization to work in US, drug test, clean shaven). Also maybe "Must be able to read, interpret instruction and technology and communicate effectively in English" etc.
Qualifications: Good To Have: Bachelor’s degree in a scientific discipline; Participated or supported with GMP for 3rd party audit; Knowledge of food safety requirements (PRP’s, HACCP, PCQI certification); Flour or food production quality experience.
Skills: maybe "Essential Skills And Experience" includes skills like computer applications, lab techniques. But we already used that for Requirements. Could shift: Requirements = education and eligibility; Qualifications = preferred education/experience; Skills = technical skills (computer, lab). However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine some.
But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for all: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. In Pay we have specific range and bonus. Good.
Now we need to extract physical requirements and working conditions details:
"Physical requirements and working conditions (with or without reasonable accommodation): Ability to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) as is required by the operating areas (i.e. safety glasses, protective footwear, hard hat, hearing protection and, at times, a respirator) Ability to work a rotating schedule including nights, weekends and holidays Ability to work a machine paced continuous process that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with conditions which include: Heat/Cold temperatures (inclement weather) Indoor/Outdoor environment Dusty environment (to include Wheat/Gluten allergens) Noisy environment Frequent moving/vibration/ or other motion of equipment/processes Elevated Places Ability to perform work safely which may require: Frequently standing, walking, rotating, bending/stooping, twisting, crouching, kneeling, balancing and reaching or lifting at varying heights and levels Frequently climbing stairs and/or ladders Occasionally lifting, shoveling and/or carrying Occasionally pushing and/or pulling Working in confined or elevated places"
We need to keep that as list maybe.
Other Considerations:
- Must be able to read, interpret instruction and technology and communicate effectively in English
- Willing to get cross-trained in at least one other position for development within the facility and to provide any relief duties as needed.
- Must be willing to work alongside your team including long days, on rotating or varying shifts (days, evenings, and nights) as well as overtime, weekend or holiday work
- Must be authorized to work in the Unites states without sponsorship now and in the future
- Except where prohibited by law, all offers of employment are conditioned upon successfully passing a drug test and pre-employment background check
- Team members must be clean shaven in order to perform tasks where respiratory protection is required and the use of a respirator (including N-95 dust mask) requires a proper seal for adequate protection.
Also location etc but location maybe not needed as heading; could be part of About the role? But we can include location in About the role paragraph? The instruction: do not repeat job title as heading; location not a heading. Could include in About the role as a sentence? But we should preserve all substantive information. Location: San Bernardino CA Address 19684 Cajun Blvd, San Bernardino CA, 92407 Additional Locations (if applicable): Employment Type Full time Additional Information Competitive Compensation... etc. The location and employment type are substantive. Where to put? Could be in About the role or maybe a separate section like "Job Details" but not allowed headings. We could embed in About the role paragraph after description. Or we could add a
with location and employment type under About the role. Since we cannot create new headings not in list, we can just add paragraphs under About the role. Similarly, "Additional Information Competitive Compensation..." we already covered Pay and Benefits. The "Additional Information" also includes "Competitive Compensation: ..." which we used for Pay. Also "Additionally, we believe that our team members are the reason for our success..." that's about bonus etc. Already covered. We also have "Shift Differential: ..." which is part of Pay or Schedule. Could include in Pay (additional earnings) or Schedule (shift differential). We'll include in Pay maybe. We also have "Application Deadline" etc but that's application instruction; we should remove. We also have EEO commitment etc; remove. We also have duplicated lines like the preceding position description repeated; remove. Now craft HTML. We'll have:
About the role
Your Role As Quality Technician, you will be responsible for accurate performance and communication of all laboratory tests to determine wheat/flour quality and verify finished product meets customer, regulatory and Ardent Mills requirements.

This position is based at an Ardent Mills production facility in San Bernardino, CA (19684 Cajun Blvd, San Bernardino, CA 92407) and requires regular on-site presence. Employment type is full time.
Then Responsibilities ul. Then Requirements: include education, basic computer skills, familiarity with lab environment, physical requirements and working conditions, other considerations (language, cross-training, willingness to work shifts, authorization to work in US, drug test, background check, clean shaven). Could be a long list. We could split Requirements into two sub-sections? But we only have one heading Requirements. We'll put all as- . Then Qualifications: Good To Have list. Then Skills: maybe we can include "Basic skills with computer applications, to include Microsoft Office Suite, with the ability to learn and use new computer programs" and "Familiarity with lab environment or knowledge of lab techniques" but those already in Requirements. Perhaps we move those to Skills and keep Requirements for education and eligibility. Let's think. We need to avoid thin sections. If we put Skills with just those two items, it's thin but still substantive. Could combine Skills with Requirements? But we need to follow headings list; we can omit Skills if not enough content? But we have content for Skills: computer applications, lab techniques. That's specific. Could make Skills section with those two items. Requirements would then be: High School diploma or GED equivalent; Physical requirements and working conditions; Other Considerations (language, cross-training, shift willingness, authorization, drug test, background check, clean shaven). Also maybe "Must be able to read, interpret instruction and technology and communicate effectively in English" etc. Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in a scientific discipline; Participated or supported with GMP for 3rd party audit; Knowledge of food safety requirements (PRP’s, HACCP, PCQI certification); Flour or food production quality experience. Skills: Basic skills with computer applications, to include Microsoft
