We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
First, there is an introductory paragraph: "Valero is the best-in-class producer...". That's about the company, maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for description of role. The intro could be considered "About the role". We'll include that as
About the role
withcontaining that paragraph. Then responsibilities: The posting lists many responsibilities after "Responsible for planning, estimating, and scheduling...". So we need a Responsibilities section with
- items for each duty.
We need to extract each duty as separate bullet. The text is long sentences with many commas; we need to split into logical duties. We'll need to parse manually.
Let's list responsibilities from the text:
"Responsible for planning, estimating, and scheduling maintenance turnarounds, emergency events, major maintenance, catalyst change-outs, and capital work scope integration within turnarounds."
"Coordinates and oversees the work of supporting third-party planners."
"Coordinates service contractors and procures materials for both capital and maintenance work."
"Coordinates efforts among Refinery Inspection, Operations, Maintenance, Reliability Engineering, Project Engineering, Technical Support, Instrument and Electrical and Rotating Equipment Groups to produce and manage comprehensive turnaround work scopes."
"Schedules turnaround meetings and facilitates reviews of and revisions to turnaround work lists."
"Adheres to the Valero Turnaround Excellence Process (VTEP), including milestone compliance and use of all applicable workbench modules and applications."
"Reviews all turnaround jobs in the field."
"Develops step-by-step resource-loaded job plans for all turnaround work."
"Produces work packages to issue to contractors including work lists, work scopes, schedules, specifications, drawings, procedures, blind lists, and material lists to aid in estimating and executing planned work scope."
"Determines manpower levels for supporting third-party or craft specific planners and oversees their work, tracking performance against the agreed KPIs."
"Reviews and approves detailed job packages developed by supporting planners to ensure relevant content, required information, and alignment with environmental and safety procedures."
"Develops indirect plans to support the turnaround, including equipment rentals, supervision, support staffing, and logistics planning."
"Develops detailed turnaround cost estimates using the appropriate VTEP modules and applications to support budgeting and funding."
"Builds or modifies work breakdown structures and work activities in a scheduling software (Primavera P6), assigns resources, work order numbers, shift calendars, project codes, layouts, and structures custom reports."
"Integrates engineered capital project work into the overall turnaround project schedule."
"Establishes the critical path from oil out to oil in."
"Assesses and analyzes the critical path for threats to project success and communicates them accordingly."
"Schedules contractors' scope and unit systems within the critical path window."
"Levels resources and develops manpower levels for service contractors and Valero maintenance crafts."
"Develops contingency plans to mitigate risks or exposures."
"Coordinates service contractors for both capital and maintenance turnaround work."
"Procures materials for both capital and maintenance turnaround work."
"Coordinates the pickup and delivery of items to be worked on by outside shops."
"Develops turnaround AFEs (Authorization for Expenditure) and portions of the turnaround Decision Review Board (DRB) package."
"Monitors costs, contractor headcount, and goods receipts during turnarounds."
"Facilitates and documents lessons learned reviews implementing them on future projects."
"Maintains electronic and hard copy records for all turnaround information."
"Proficient and available to cover for Maintenance Supervisors when needed."
"Other duties may be assigned."
That's many responsibilities.
Now Requirements: The posting has "Minimum Requirements" and "Preferred Requirements". We need to decide which sections to use: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Usually Requirements = minimum qualifications. Qualifications could be preferred? Skills could be specific abilities. We need to include sections only if there is real specific content.
We have Minimum Requirements list:
- High school diploma or GED required.
- 5 years of planning, project coordination, and/or maintenance experience in refining or a related industry required.
- Experience using computer-based planning and scheduling tools required.
- Experience reading engineering drawings, such as plot plans, piping isometrics, and P&IDs required.
- Experience conducting maintenance planning using a CMMS (e.g. SAP or Maximo) or Oracle Primavera P6 and/or MS Excel, Project, Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint required.
- Able and willing to work on-site, in-person at the Valero Port Arthur Refinery, required.
Preferred Requirements list:
- Bachelor’s or higher level degree in a related field preferred.
- Advanced skill using Oracle Primavera P6, including detailed coding, activity prioritization, resource leveling, and custom reporting preferred.
- Ability to read and interpret company policies, regulatory guidelines, and other work-related documentation.
- Ability to abide by confidentiality requirements when working with sensitive information, results, and communications.
- Skill in providing thorough, efficient, and effective customer service to individuals at all levels within the organization.
- Ability to communicate effectively through written and verbal methods.
- Ability to accomplish work within required timelines, including short, long, and emergency timeframes.
- Ability to cross-train in other department duties to ensure efficient coverage of department responsibilities.
- Ability to work with others to accomplish challenging assignments.
- Ability to multi-task and prioritize multiple assignments to ensure completion of tasks within stated time requirements.
- Basic skill using Microsoft Office programs (i.e., Word and Excel).
- Basic skill using Oracle Primavera P6.
Also there is a line: "Position level and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience." That's vague, we should not create Pay section because it's not specific; it's just "commensurate with qualifications and experience". According to rules, we should not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits are stated: there is a Benefits section with bullet points: Competitive Pay and Annual Bonus Program, 100% match on 401(K) up to 7%, with immediate vesting, Company-sponsored Pension Plan, Comprehensive Healthcare and Wellness Program. Also note: "Benefits described above are highlights only, subject to an employee’s eligibility and work location." So we have specific benefits. So we should include Benefits section.
Pay: Not specific; we should not include Pay section.
Schedule: Not mentioned; no schedule info. So omit Schedule.
Now we need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits.
We need to decide what goes where. The posting has Minimum Requirements and Preferred Requirements. Could map Minimum Requirements to Requirements section, Preferred Requirements to Qualifications or Skills. The Skills section could contain abilities like communication, customer service, etc. Qualifications could contain education and experience preferences. Let's think.
Typically:
- Requirements: minimum qualifications (education, experience, certifications).
- Qualifications: preferred qualifications (education, experience, certifications).
- Skills: specific abilities (technical skills, soft skills).
Thus:
Requirements (Minimum):
- High school diploma or GED.
- 5 years of planning, project coordination, and/or maintenance experience in refining or a related industry.
- Experience using computer-based planning and scheduling tools.
- Experience reading engineering drawings (plot plans, piping isometrics, P&IDs).
- Experience conducting maintenance planning using a CMMS (e.g., SAP or Maximo) or Oracle Primavera P6 and/or MS Excel, Project, Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint.
- Able and willing to work on-site, in-person at the Valero Port Arthur Refinery.
Qualifications (Preferred):
- Bachelor’s or higher level degree in a related field.
- Advanced skill using Oracle Primavera P6, including detailed coding, activity prioritization, resource leveling, and custom reporting.
Skills:
- Ability to read and interpret company policies, regulatory guidelines, and other work-related documentation.
- Ability to abide by confidentiality requirements when working with sensitive information, results, and communications.
- Skill in providing thorough, efficient, and effective customer service to individuals at all levels within the organization.
- Ability to communicate effectively through written and verbal methods.
- Ability to accomplish work within required timelines, including short, long, and emergency timeframes.
- Ability to cross-train in other department duties to ensure efficient coverage of department responsibilities.
- Ability to work with others to accomplish challenging assignments.
- Ability to multi-task and prioritize multiple assignments to ensure completion of tasks within stated time requirements.
- Basic skill using Microsoft Office programs (i.e., Word and Excel).
- Basic skill using Oracle Primavera P6.
We could also include "Experience using computer-based planning and scheduling tools" as a skill but it's already in Requirements.
Now Benefits section: list bullet points.
We need to output HTML fragment only, no extra text.
We'll produce:
