We need to extract sections:
- About the role: maybe a summary paragraph. Could use the POSITION CONCEPT paragraph as about the role.
- Responsibilities: The duties described: planning/designing, implementing, supporting network, server, storage infrastructure; ensuring security controls; assessing assets; maintaining regulations; design, planning, operation, maintenance, support of TECO and NMGC network infrastructure; partnering with telecom; NERC CIP and disaster recovery; VoIP, SIP, DHCP, DNS, TCP/IP routing, OSPF, BGP, binary math, NAT, PAT, IPsec, SSL VPN, GRE tunneling, route redistribution, traffic shaping, port-level filtering, SD-WAN, MPLS; installation, configuration, maintenance of WAN/LAN connectivity; design, installation, configuration, maintenance of DNP over IP and serial SCADA communications; configuration and maintenance of Smart GRID communication hardware switches and routers. Also Additional Duties: monitors, troubleshoots, diagnoses, remedies server, network, DDoS protection, NetScaler load balancers, security controls; installs and configures server and network related hardware/software meeting security standards; design and planning required for small projects; project leadership, consulting, cross-train peers.
We can combine responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe the qualifications: Education, Licenses/Certifications, Experience.
- Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? The spec says we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. But we need to avoid duplication. Could put Education, Licenses/Certifications, Experience under Qualifications. Or Requirements could be experience and certifications. Let's decide: Use Qualifications for education, certifications, experience. Use Requirements for maybe "Minimum eight (8) years of related hands-on experience..." but that's also experience. Might be redundant. Better to have one section: Qualifications (includes education, certifications, experience). And maybe Skills for Knowledge/Skills/Abilities.
- Skills: The Knowledge/Skills/Abilities (ksa) list.
- Benefits: The benefits list.
- Pay: Not explicitly given; only "Competitive Salary" mentioned but no number. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It says "Competitive Salary" but no specific figure. Is that enough? It says "Competitive Salary" as a phrase; but we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them (specific). The phrase "Competitive Salary" is vague; but it's still stating that there is a competitive salary. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state "Competitive Salary". However also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might still include Pay with that phrase? But they said "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "Competitive Salary" is not exactly filler but still vague. Might be considered placeholder? I'd lean to not include Pay section because it's not a specific amount. Similarly Schedule: they gave Shift: 8 Hr. X 5 Days. That's a schedule. So we can include Schedule section with that info.
- Benefits: they list many benefits; we can include Benefits section.
Thus sections: About the role (POSITION CONCEPT), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (education, certifications, experience), Skills (KSAs), Benefits, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use
