Senior Groundskeeper

We need to output 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. Given posting: It includes pay: "USD $17.25 - USD $17.25 /Hr." That's a specific pay amount. So we can include Pay section with that. Schedule? Not mentioned. No schedule info. So omit. Benefits? Not mentioned. Omit. About the role: Could be a paragraph summarizing the role: "This is a highly customer service oriented position..." We can put that as About the role. Responsibilities: List of duties: many bullet points: grounds maintenance, equipment operation, cleaning walks, painting markings, inspection, raking leaves, picking litter, haul trash, maintenance of curbs, watering landscape, moving items, sprinkler systems, fire hydrant maintenance, assist purchase of flowers, snow removal, demolition, storm/sewer lines, athletic fields care, operate safely, mentoring interns, willingness to take training, vehicle safety checklist, operate Clarkson vehicle, perform other duties, deliver service, encourage teamwork, gain knowledge, report campus damage, etc. We need to put these as

• items. Requirements vs Qualifications vs Skills: The posting has "Minimal Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "Experience". Also lists skills like "Proficient mathematical skills", "Problem solving and analytical skills", etc. Also physical demands. We need to decide sections. We can have: - About the role (h3) with paragraph. - Responsibilities (h3) with ul. - Qualifications (h3) maybe split into Minimal and Preferred? But we can combine into one Qualifications section with subheadings? However only allowed headings are h3 for section headings; we could have multiple h3 sections: Minimal Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Skills, Experience? But we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Minimal and Preferred Qualifications into one Qualifications section with two sub-lists? But we cannot use other headings besides h3; we could still use or

  inside. The instruction: "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we can use those specific headings. It doesn't forbid other headings but says use h3 for section headings (e.g., those). Likely we should stick to those headings. So we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay. Possibly Requirements if distinct. We have Minimal Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications; we can put them under Qualifications heading with two lists: Minimal Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as subheadings maybe using or

  ? But only h3 allowed for section headings; we could still use

  but not specified. Safer to keep within Qualifications section: we can have two

  statements: "Minimal Qualifications:" then list, and "Preferred Qualifications:" then list. Skills: we have many skills: customer service, mentoring, teamwork, knowledge of campus, communication, organization, problem solving, math skills, ability to lift, operate equipment, etc. Could put under Skills. Experience: we have minimal 1 year grounds experience, preferred 4 years, light truck/vehicle operation, forklift operation, equipment operation, knowledge of plant species, forklift trained, enthusiasm, valid NYS driver's license, etc. Some of these overlap with qualifications. Might be better to treat Experience as separate section. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see what we have: - About the role: paragraph. - Responsibilities: many items. - Qualifications: Minimal and Preferred (education, certifications). - Skills: list of skills (customer service, communication, organization, problem solving, math, etc.) - Experience: years, vehicle operation, forklift, etc. - Pay: hourly rate. We could combine Skills and Experience into Qualifications? But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having 5 sections may be okay if each substantive. Let's craft. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Also remove "Special Instructions to Applicants" etc. Also remove "All staff has a statutory responsibility..." etc. Also remove "The above statements are designed..." etc. Also remove "Reasonable accommodations may be made..." etc. Also remove "Physical demands characteristics..." maybe we can keep as part of Skills? But it's about physical demands; could be under Skills or Qualifications. Might be considered part of Qualifications (physical ability). We'll include as part of Skills or Qualifications. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting that are not boilerplate. Let's extract substantive content: Paragraph about role: "This is a highly customer service oriented position in which employees should strive to exceed customer expectations." Then list of duties (responsibilities): - Participate in grounds maintenance and equipment operation tasks to ensure the perpetual upkeep of the University grounds, drives, walks, athletic fields and parking areas and provide technical guidance and assistance to student workers. - Participate in such duties as planting, cultivating, mowing, edging, weeding, trimming, pruning, spraying (including pesticides, fertilizing, watering), landscaping, demolition, land renovation, and tree/debris removal - Operate a variety of light and heavy grounds maintenance equipment - Clean walks, entrances, driveways, roads, parking lots, and patio areas by sweeping, blowing, washing down and shoveling areas. - Paint required markings in parking lots - Participate in the inspection of grounds, trees, shrubs and flowers for problems - Rake and remove leaves and debris - Pick campus litter, haul trash and recyclables to appropriate destinations - Participate in the maintenance and repair of curbs, walkways and parking areas. - Water campus landscape as deemed necessary and as directed - Support University needs with moving larger items - Moving tables, chairs, stage, poster boards, event floor coverings for event setups - Participate in the maintenance of campus sprinkler systems - Assist in fire hydrant maintenance and repairs - Under the supervisors supervision assist in the purchase of flowers and shrubs, order of parts to maintain required inventory. - Participate in the removal of snow and the application of chemicals and sand. - Participate in demolition for construction projects - Assessing and performing basic repairs and maintenance of storm and sewer lines. - Assist in the care of natural and artificial turf athletic fields. - Live out and make decisions in line with the Clarkson University values in all daily activities - Operate and work in a safe manner at all times and ensure the highest level of housekeeping - Provide mentoring and leadership to interns, apprentices, and/or student workers - Willingness to take courses and/or training to meet trade specific and University standards - Complete Clarkson Vehicle Safety Checklist before vehicle use. Be Responsible for care, cleanliness, and maintenance of assigned vehicle and report all vehicle concerns to appropriate supervisor immediately - Operate a Clarkson vehicles in accordance with University policy - Perform other related duties incidental to the work described herein - Deliver timely, friendly, and effective service to University faculty, staff, and students - Encourage and Promote Teamwork - Ability to gain general knowledge of the campus - Participate in reporting of campus damage and/or safety issues. Now Minimal Qualifications: - High School Diploma or equivalent Preferred Qualifications: - Associates degree in related field - CDL - Pesticide license - Fork lift certified - Pest control license Experience: Minimal Qualifications (experience): 1 year grounds experience Preferred Qualifications (experience): 4 years grounds experience Light truck/vehicle operation Fork lift operation Equipment operation Possess basic knowledge of various types of plant and tree species Fork lift trained Must have enthusiasm for the job, a customer service approach and be willing to work in a team environment Hold a valid NYS driver's license with a driving record acceptable to meet the University insurance standards Proficient mathematical skills Problem solving and analytical skills Possess general knowledge of the campus layout and building locations Demonstrated ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with divers constituencies Excellent written and oral communication skills Strong organization skills are required Must be able to function under stressful conditions and/or high volume of short turnaround Physical demands: - Mobility sufficient to enter and exit confined spaces in accordance with established procedures, climb and descend ladders in a safe manner, and walk, sit, climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch or crawl. - Dexterity sufficient to operate manual and power tools, light and heavy duty equipment and other equipment utilized in the course of work. - Ability to lift and move heavy items weighing up to 25 pounds on a frequent basis and occasionally lift and/or move up to 100 pounds with assistance. - Endurance sufficient to maintain routine discomfort from exposure to moderate levels heat, cold, and moisture. - Other demands as required by specific position Also statement: "All staff has a statutory responsibility to take reasonable care of themselves, others and the environment and to prevent harm by their acts or omissions. All staff is therefore required to adhere to the University’s Health, Safety, and Environmental Policy & Procedures." This is somewhat boilerplate but maybe considered policy; but it's not EEO etc. Might be considered substantive? It's a policy statement. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is a health safety policy; could be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove. Also: "The above statements are designed to indicate the general nature and level of work performed by employees assigned to this classification. They are not intended to be construed as an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities, skills, and qualifications required of personnel so classified" - that's boilerplate; remove. Also: "Special Instructions to Applicants An equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, Clarkson actively seeks and encourages applications from veterans and people with disabilities. All offers of employment are subject to the applicant successfully passing a background check (including, but not limited to, employment verification, educational and other credential verification, and criminal records" - remove. Now we need to format. We'll have sections:
