Seasonal Operations Specialist
CHS Inc. · Langdon, ND · 1 mo ago
On-siteTemporary
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary, job duration, schedule, responsibilities, minimum qualifications, additional qualifications, physical requirements, benefits (CHS offers a competitive total rewards package, compensation includes base wage, possible bonus, incentives, commissions, 401(k) eligibility). Also mentions overtime hours to maximize take home pay, potential opportunity to join full-time. Also mentions "Apply today..." but we need to remove application instructions. Also remove boilerplate like EEO, etc.
We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: Could be summary paragraph: "Are you looking for a fulfilling short-term position in the agriculture industry? If so, CHS Devils Lake has a great opportunity for you to join our team as a Seasonal Operations Specialist in Langdon, ND." Also maybe mention job duration and schedule? Schedule is separate.
- Responsibilities: The list under "As a Seasonal Operations Specialist at CHS, you will be responsible for:" includes bullet list: Loading and unloading grain products, Performing maintenance tasks on equipment and facilities, Probing incoming trucks. Then later there is a longer "Responsibilities" section with many bullet points. We need to combine? The instruction: Use
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.

- Responsibilities: The list under "As a Seasonal Operations Specialist at CHS, you will be responsible for:" includes bullet list: Loading and unloading grain products, Performing maintenance tasks on equipment and facilities, Probing incoming trucks. Then later there is a longer "Responsibilities" section with many bullet points. We need to combine? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can create a
with all responsibilities. Should we include both the short list and the longer list? Probably combine all duties into one list, preserving all substantive info. Avoid duplication.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (required) and Additional Qualifications. Could be under Requirements heading.
- Qualifications: maybe separate? The instruction says we can have sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide. Could put Minimum Qualifications under Requirements, Additional Qualifications under Qualifications, and maybe Skills under Skills (like ability to operate machinery, forklift certification, etc). But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including minimum and additional qualifications and skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have schedule: Monday - Friday 7am - 7pm (weekends as needed). Also Job Duration: ASAP - End of November. That could be under Schedule or maybe a separate section? The instruction says include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state schedule and duration. Could combine both under Schedule heading: include both duration and weekly schedule.
Pay: The posting mentions "Overtime hours to maximize your take home pay" and "CHS offers a competitive total rewards package. Compensation includes base wage and, depending upon position, may include other earnings such as bonus, incentives and commissions. Actual pay offered will vary based on multiple factors..." Also mentions 401(k). So we have some pay info but not specific numbers. The instruction says: 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. It does state some pay info: competitive total rewards, base wage, bonus, incentives, commissions, 401(k). That's substantive enough? It's not a specific number but it's not just "varies". It says "Competitive total rewards package" etc. That's okay. So we can include Pay section with that info.
Benefits: The posting mentions "Overtime hours to maximize your take home pay", "Potential opportunity to join our team full-time at the end of the season." Also maybe "CHS offers a competitive total rewards package." That's more compensation than benefits. Benefits could be things like 401(k) (but that's under compensation). There's no explicit health insurance, etc. So maybe we don't create a Benefits section unless there is real specific content. The only benefit-like is overtime hours and potential full-time opportunity. Could be under Pay or maybe under Benefits? The instruction: Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does mention overtime hours and potential full-time opportunity. Those are benefits. So we could create Benefits section with those points.
But we also have Pay section with compensation details. So we can split: Benefits: Overtime hours, potential full-time opportunity. Pay: Competitive total rewards, base wage, bonus, incentives, commissions, 401(k) eligibility.
Schedule: Job duration and weekly schedule.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, application instructions (Apply today...), etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract substantive content:
Company description: "CHS Inc. is a leading global agribusiness owned by farmers, ranchers and cooperatives across the United States that provides grain, food and energy resources to businesses and consumers around the world. We serve agriculture customers and consumers across the United States and around the world. Most of our employees are in the United States, but today we have employees in 19 countries. At CHS, we are creating connections to empower agriculture."
Summary: "Are you looking for a fulfilling short-term position in the agriculture industry? If so, CHS Devils Lake has a great opportunity for you to join our team as a Seasonal Operations Specialist in Langdon, ND."
Job Duration: "ASAP - End of November"
Schedule: "Monday - Friday 7am - 7pm (weekends as needed)"
Responsibilities short list: "Loading and unloading grain products", "Performing maintenance tasks on equipment and facilities", "Probing incoming trucks"
Then longer Responsibilities list (under "Responsibilities Under general supervision..."): many items.
We need to combine all responsibilities into a single list, preserving all items. Let's extract them:
From the longer list:
- Develop and maintain knowledge of the commodities handled at the location and comply with company policy and government regulations pertaining to commodities.
- Work with customers in a courteous and professional manner.
- Prepare trucks and railcars for loading/unloading, which may require sampling, loosening large nuts, opening hatches, and attaching and/or detaching flexible hoses.
- Load and unload agricultural inputs from railcars and/or trucks using heavy or light duty machinery/equipment. May include bulk and or packaged material.
- Control and monitor all load out functions.
- Understand and operate automated scale/dump systems.
- Conduct and properly record daily, weekly and monthly maintenance tasks including but not limited to lubrication of pumps, valves, and loading arms. Inspect in-use equipment looking for seeps and leaks of process equipment.
- Monitor and maintain quality of inventory (may include blended, bulk or packaged product).
- Deliver products such as fertilizer, chemical, seed, feed and others to customer sites.
- Keep all work areas in a clean, orderly and safe condition. Conduct regular housekeeping duties such as sweeping, shoveling, power washing, scraping and cleaning up spills.
- Complete appropriate record keeping.
- Perform grounds maintenance including snow removal.
- Perform warehouse work including driving loader, loading/unloading inventory, forklift operation, and general maintenance.
- Promptly report any customer complaints, repair or maintenance needs, or safety concerns to supervisor.
- Maintain and promote a strong safety culture and follow all safety policies, procedures, and regulations. Identify and communicate workplace hazards and correct or seek assistance in correcting unsafe actions or conditions.
- Follow all company policies, procedures, and safety requirements.
- Perform other duties as needed or assigned to ensure facility operates smoothly and customers receive excellent customer service.
Also the short list items: Loading and unloading grain products, Performing maintenance tasks on equipment and facilities, Probing incoming trucks. Some of these may be duplicates of items in longer list (loading/unloading grain products similar to load/unload agricultural inputs; performing maintenance tasks similar to maintenance tasks; probing incoming trucks maybe part of preparing trucks). We should keep them but avoid duplication? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't say to deduplicate, but we should not repeat identical lines. We can keep them if they are not exactly same. However "Loading and unloading grain products" is similar to "Load and unload agricultural inputs from railcars and/or trucks". Not identical but similar. Might be okay to keep both? Could cause redundancy. Safer to keep all items as they appear, but we could combine similar? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; not to remove detail. If we remove a duplicate, we might be losing some detail? If they are essentially same meaning, removing one could be considered summarizing away detail? Might be okay to keep both but it's repetitive. I'd keep both but maybe note they are separate points. However the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Not about duplication.
I'll include all items from both lists, but ensure not to copy exact same sentence. The short list items are not exactly same as any in longer list (though similar). I'll include them.

About the role: combine company description and summary? Could be two paragraphs.
We need to output HTML fragment with headings for each section.
We'll have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Under Requirements we can include Minimum Qualifications, Additional Qualifications, Physical Requirements as sublists? Could be separate under Requirements. Or we could split into Requirements and Qualifications sections. But we have many items; maybe better to have Requirements (minimum + additional) and Skills (physical requirements?). However physical requirements are not skills but requirements. Could keep all under Requirements.
We need to avoid thin sections. Having one Requirements section with multiple lists is fine.
We'll structure:
