Senior Engineering Technician

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes duties and qualifications. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real content. We have duties description (responsibilities). We have qualifications (minimum qualifications). We have pay info: Current Start Rate: $55,817* Job Rate: $67,990 plus Downstate Adjustment $4,150 annually for location. So we have pay details. Also maybe schedule? Not mentioned. Benefits? Not mentioned. Skills? Could infer from qualifications but better to have Qualifications section. Could also have Skills section if we want to list CAD, GIS, etc. But we should not create thin sections. The posting includes qualifications and also mentions required skills: CAD, GIS, Microsoft Word/Excel, driver's license, etc. Could combine into Qualifications. Probably best to have sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay. Possibly also About the role? The description starts with "Under the supervision...". Could treat that as About the role. But we already have Responsibilities. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine About the role and Responsibilities into one? But we need headings for each section we include. Could do:

About the role

with paragraph summarizing role. Then

Responsibilities

with list. Then

Qualifications

with list. Then

Pay

with paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. Ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract duties list: - Perform field tests of materials and construction, such as compaction tests and concrete air content tests. - Visually inspect projects to determine compliance with specifications and commonly accepted construction methods and standards. - Compute quantities of materials used, such as volumes, lengths, and batch slip weights, to determine correct payment of contract estimates. - Provide routine interpretations of construction specifications to contractor. - Meet with contractor’s on-site project supervisor to discuss and resolve problems noted during inspection, prepare inspection reports, noting problems and methods to correct them. - Assist in or compiles records for projects from beginning of construction to completion. - Gather all information needed for preparation of contract plans. - Provide computer-aided drafting (CAD) support in the performance of field and technical investigations, drafting, surveying assistance, contract management, and engineering consulting. - Provide Geographic Information Systems (GIS) support in the preparation of maps, sketches and diagrams of sites and proposed projects from data gathered from field surveys and office records. - Prepares estimates of quantities of different materials needed for individual projects and calculates estimated project costs by pricing material and labor at prevailing rates. - Prepare draft narrative and graphic material for inclusion in contract specifications. - Assist in preparing alternate project plans, including evaluating efforts of different proposals on surrounding area and population and summarizing cost of alternatives. - Perform engineering research and planning activities. - May perform supervisory duties at assigned facility/s including but not limited to training, direct supervision, and assist in performance evaluations of subordinate staff. - May fill-in for supervisor during absences as needed. - Periodic overtime may be required. - Periodic travel may be required to other facilities; to attend training; or other requirements related to duties as needed. - Other job duties as assigned. Qualifications list: Minimum Qualifications: - Three years of full time satisfactory experience in field or office civil engineering work. - Training may be substituted or combined with work experience to meet the three year requirement as follows: - An Associate degree from a technical institute or community college in engineering science, civil engineering technology, or architectural technology for two years of the experience. - College training leading to a Bachelor’s degree in engineering or architecture, on a year-for-year basis. - Any satisfactory combination of technical institute, community college or college training in engineering science, civil engineering technology, architectural technology, or college training as described above, on a year for year basis. - AND Two years technical experience in the field of automated cartography; or completion of two years of college or technical institute studies in cartography, computer-aided drafting (CAD), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), or planning and surveying. - AND Must be at least 18 years of age and have a high school diploma or GED. - Must have and maintain a valid driver’s license to operate a motor vehicle in the State of New York. - May be required to utilize vehicles for site visits and other travel. - Must report any changes in driver’s license status to supervisory chain of command. - May be required to acquire and maintain a military driver’s license to operate military vehicles and equipment in accordance with NGB standards to include medical evaluation requirements – current and as amended. - In accordance with NGB standards, will be required to obtain and maintain a favorable background investigation, and have an appropriate clearance to allow access to computer networks and restricted areas to determine suitability, loyalty, and trustworthiness. - Minimally a National Agency Check with Inquiry (NACI) will be completed - dependent on current regulation, a SECRET clearance may be required – especially at Air Bases when flight line access requires SECRET. - Must be comfortable working at heights such as climbing ladders, working on scaffolds, platforms and lifts. - Must be able to read and write in English. - Must have demonstrated knowledge and qualifying experience in the use of CAD and GIS software. - Must be familiar with and be able to independently use commonly utilized software programs such as Microsoft Word and Excel. - Required to have or successfully complete within 90 days of receiving computer access, all SFS, SLMS and other computer training as related to position duties. - Upon hire must meet and maintain as necessary any and all New York State or Federal certification/license requirements. - Should regulations or statutes require additional recertification or training in the future, employee will be required to meet such additional training requirements. - At all times, the employee MUST maintain minimum standards in accordance with current , and as amended, agency, statutory and NGB requirements and directives; failure to do so will subject the individual to disciplinary action, including possible termination. - NOTE: Position standards illustrate the nature, extent and scope of duties and responsibilities of the position described. Standards cannot and do not include all of the work that might be appropriately performed by the incumbent. The minimum qualifications above are those which were required for appointment at the time the Position Standards were written. Please contact State Human Resources Management for any further information regarding the position requirements. Additional Comments: - This position is not in the Classified Service of New York State, but is covered under New York State Military Law. - If selected, current Civil Service employees will lose their seniority within the Classified Service, thereby exempting them from applying for promotional exams within Civil Service. - Current Start Rate: $55,817* Job Rate: $67,990 (*All hires begin at “Start Rate” unless prior state experience affords eligibility for hiring step increase as determined by OSC.) - In addition: the Francis S. Gabreski ANGB location will receive a Downstate Adjustment of $4,150 annually. We need to preserve all substantive information. So include the note about classification, civil service, start rate, job rate, downstate adjustment. We should not include boilerplate like EEO etc. There's none. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:

    ... include start rate, job rate, note about start rate, downstate adjustment. We might also include a note about classification and civil service under Qualifications or a separate section? Could add a

    Additional Information

    but that may be thin. Better to incorporate into Qualifications or About the role? The classification info is substantive; we could add a

    Additional Information

    with paragraph. But we want few sections. Could add a paragraph under About the role after the initial paragraph covering classification and civil service. Or we could add a separate section "Additional Information". The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding a fourth section may be okay if it's substantive. The classification and civil service info is substantive. Could incorporate into About the role. Let's add after the role paragraph: "This position is not in the Classified Service of New York State, but is covered under New York State Military Law. If selected, current Civil Service employees will lose their seniority within the Classified Service, thereby exempting them from applying for promotional exams within Civil Service." That seems fine. Now Pay section: include Start Rate, Job Rate, note about start rate, downstate adjustment. Let's craft. Make sure to preserve asterisks and notes. Now produce HTML. Check for any repeated content: ensure we didn't miss any duty. Let's list duties again and ensure all are included. Duties list: - Perform field tests of materials and construction, such as compaction tests and concrete air content tests. - Visually inspect projects to determine compliance with specifications and commonly accepted construction methods and standards. - Compute quantities of materials used, such as volumes, lengths, and batch slip weights, to determine correct payment of contract estimates. - Provide routine interpretations of construction specifications to contractor. - Meet with contractor’s on-site project supervisor to discuss and resolve problems noted during inspection, prepare inspection reports, noting problems and methods to correct them. - Assist in or compiles records for projects from beginning of construction to completion. - Gather all information needed for preparation of contract plans. - Provide computer-aided drafting (CAD) support in the performance of field and technical investigations, drafting, surveying assistance, contract management, and engineering consulting. - Provide Geographic Information Systems (GIS) support in the preparation of maps, sketches and diagrams of sites and proposed projects from data gathered from field surveys and office records. - Prepares estimates of quantities of different materials needed for individual projects and calculates estimated project costs by pricing material and labor at prevailing rates. - Prepare draft narrative and graphic material for inclusion in contract specifications. - Assist in preparing alternate project plans, including evaluating efforts of different proposals on surrounding area and population and summarizing cost of alternatives. - Perform engineering research and planning activities. - May perform supervisory duties at assigned facility/s including but not limited to training, direct supervision, and assist in performance evaluations of subordinate staff. - May fill-in for supervisor during absences as needed. - Periodic overtime may be required. - Periodic travel may be required to other facilities; to attend training; or other requirements related to duties as needed. - Other job duties as assigned. All present. Qualifications list: need to capture all bullet points.
