Senior Plant Operator (Water Division)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "THE POSITION THIS POSITION IS IN THE WATER DIVISION". Could be "About the role". Also "IDEAL CANDIDATE STATEMENT" could be "Qualifications" or "Skills"? Actually ideal candidate statement is more like qualifications/skills. There's "DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS" maybe part of description. "SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED". "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" with examples. Then "Qualifications" with Knowledge, Ability To Perform, Experience And Education, Special Qualifications, Certificate Assignments, PROOF OF CERTIFICATION, Assessment, Respiratory Protective Equipment, Probationary Period. Also "THE SELECTION PROCEDURE" includes application instructions which we must remove (application instructions). So we should drop selection procedure content. We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content. About the role: could include division, shift work, ideal candidate statement? Actually "Ideal candidate statement" is more about qualifications/skills. But we can put a brief overview in About the role: position in Water Division, may work swing/graveyard shifts, supports dewatering, groundwater, surface water, reservoir teams, etc. Use that. Responsibilities: list of duties from Essential Duties And Responsibilities (the examples). Use

• . Requirements: maybe include Supervision Received and Exercised? Or Distinguishing Characteristics? Could be part of Requirements. But we have Qualifications and Skills separate. The instruction says we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to include. We have lots of qualification details: Knowledge, Ability To Perform, Experience And Education, Special Qualifications, Certificate Assignments, Proof of certification, etc. Those could go under Qualifications (knowledge/abilities) and Skills (maybe specific skills like SCADA, training, etc.). But we can combine. We must not invent sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless present. The posting does not mention benefits, pay, schedule (except shift work mention). Shift work is mentioned under "Positions may be required to work swing or graveyard shifts." That's about schedule. Could we create a Schedule section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state shift work, which is schedule-related. So we could include a Schedule section with that detail. However we must avoid filler like "varies". The statement is specific: may be required to work swing or graveyard shifts. That's specific enough. So we can include Schedule. Benefits: not mentioned. Pay: not mentioned. So omit those. Now we need to decide sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. But we also have "Distinguishing Characteristics" and "Supervision Received and Exercised". Those could go under Requirements (maybe). Or we could put them under About the role? Better to put under Requirements: includes supervisory responsibilities, distinguishing characteristics. Let's extract content. About the role: - Position in Water Division. - May be required to work swing or graveyard shifts. - May support dewatering, groundwater, surface water, and/or reservoir teams. - Ideal candidate communicates well in leadership role, skilled in planning, organizing, delegating routine tasks, project related work, troubleshooting. - Adaptable to changing priorities, coordinate with other support teams. - Thorough understanding of SOPs, ability to train city staff with safety focus. - Experience and skillful using SCADA system. - To perform skilled work and lead others in operation of City's drinking water treatment plants, wells, reservoirs and distribution system; combined wastewater control system, primary wastewater treatment plants and pumping stations; assign and direct work of plant crew. That seems like a mix of role and ideal candidate. We'll put in About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties from Essential Duties And Responsibilities (the examples). We'll copy each bullet as
• . Need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. The list is long; we need to include each bullet point. Let's extract the bullet points from the text: "Lead and participate in the operation, monitoring, and control of the City's combined wastewater control system, conventional surface water treatment plants, and outlying pumping stations on an assigned shift." "Participate in and direct the operation of plant equipment including chemical feed, computer, and telemetry systems, microprocessors, pumps, flow control gates, and plant communications systems." "Plan the operation of the City's entire potable water treatment and distribution system for an assigned shift including anticipating water demand, hour by hour, and adjusting plant influents, effluents and reservoir filling and drawing to maintain pressure in the distribution system within given parameters." "Plan and schedule water treatment plant activities such as filter backwashes, sludge pumping, filter washwater recycling and other related activities." "Monitor water quality during treatment process through visual inspection and the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system and adjust influent flows, chemical dosages and filtration rates based on observations; take corrective action on problems identified including hazardous or toxic material spills that affect water supplies."

"Perform efficiency tests on pumps, compressors, and related equipment." "Monitor the status of plant pumping and equipment, using technical information such as main pressure, system pressure, wet well elevation, water elevations, electrical system voltages, pump motor voltages, and computer system outputs." "Direct and coordinate trash screen cleaning, filters, and related work involving the upkeep of plant facilities." "Maintain and update plant operation logs and records." "Use Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and computerized maintenance management systems." "Maintain and replenish materials and supplies necessary for plant operation." "Operate equipment such as engine driven pumps, generators, compressors, hoists, forklifts, cranes and other heavy equipment." "Schedule and coordinate the work of assigned plant operation personnel." "Train and assist less experienced personnel in plant operations; ensure that proper safety practices are followed." "Work in confined spaces, on temporary scaffolding, and on high structures; using breathing apparatus and/or Level I Hazmat suits." "Other related duties may also be performed; not all duties listed are necessarily performed by each individual holding this classification." We'll include all. Requirements: Could include Distinguishing Characteristics and Supervision Received and Exercised. Let's extract those. Distinguishing Characteristics paragraph: "The Senior Plant Operator is the responsible shift lead operator level classification in the Plant Operator series. Positions assigned to this class are expected to independently perform the full range of plant operation and monitoring duties on an assigned shift. This class is distinguished from the next higher class of Supervising Plant Operator in that the latter is assigned full responsibility for drinking water or wastewater operations, including the direct supervision, technical and functional oversight, direction and coordination of all shifts on a 24-hour basis. This class is distinguished from the next lower class of Plant Operator in that the latter are journey-level positions not responsible for being the responsible shift lead operator." Supervision Received and Exercised: "General supervision is provided by a Superintendent and/or the Supervising Plant Operator. Responsibilities require the technical and functional supervision and lead direction of lower-level plant personnel." We can combine into Requirements section as paragraphs or list. Qualifications: Knowledge, Ability To Perform, Experience And Education, Special Qualifications, Certificate Assignments, Proof of Certification, Assessment, Respiratory Protective Equipment, Probationary Period. But we need to avoid filler like "Any combination equivalent to experience and education that could likely provide the required knowledge and abilities would be qualifying." That's substantive. We'll keep. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each. Knowledge of: list bullet points? The text: "Knowledge of: Operating principles, methods, equipment, supplies, and materials used in the combined wastewater control system, drinking water treatment plants, wells, and pumping stations.
