State Parks - Sky Meadows State Park - Trades Technician Supervisor - Open Until Filled
Virginia State Parks · State Center, IA · 1 mo ago
OTHR$18–$20/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes: "Join Our Team at the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation! ... Sky Meadows State Park is accepting applications for the Trades Technician Supervisor position. Job Summary ...". So we can have sections: About the role (maybe Job Summary), Responsibilities (Key Duties And Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications, Additional Considerations), Benefits (Employee Benefits Include...), Pay (Hourly Rate/Range: $18.00 to $20.00 per hour), Schedule (Regular work hours are flexible but will be no less than two and no more than four days within the Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. range). Also mention background check etc maybe under Requirements.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, E-Verify, application instructions, contact info, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So include details about duties, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule, background check, driver's license, work requirements (wage/seasonal positions not eligible for benefits etc). However note that this position is likely full-time? It says "Full-time (salaried) employment offers ..." earlier generic but then later "Hourly Rate/Range: $18.00 to $20.00 per hour". Also "Work Requirements: Wage/seasonal positions are not eligible for benefits and are limited to 1,500 hours from May 1 to April 30." This position maybe hourly? It says "Trades Technician Supervisor" with hourly rate. So it's likely hourly/wage position. So benefits may not apply? But they also list employee benefits for DCR employees (free parking etc). The generic full-time benefits earlier may not apply to this hourly position. However we must preserve all substantive info, so we can include the benefits section as described (Employee Benefits Include ...) but note that wage/seasonal positions are not eligible for benefits. That is a conflict. We should include both: mention that wage/seasonal positions are not eligible for benefits (under Work Requirements) and also list employee benefits (maybe for classified staff). Since we must not invent or summarize away detail, we include both as separate statements.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Pay, Schedule, Benefits, Responsibilities, Requirements, About the role (Job Summary). So we output those.

We must ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Also remove any mention of "Apply Now", "Open Until Filled", etc. Also remove generic preamble about DCR looking for talented people etc unless it's substantive? That is generic boilerplate; we should remove. The "Join Our Team at the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation!" is substantive? It's more like intro but could be considered part of About the role. We'll incorporate into About the role paragraph. We need to preserve all substantive information: The job summary: "This position will act as a frontline supervisor of other Trades Techs in the maintenance department and complete projects in carpentry, plumbing, electrical, or other fields of expertise both individually as well as in group settings." That's from Job Summary. Key duties list: we need to extract each bullet. Let's list them: - Perform and supervise facility and grounds maintenance, including mowing grass, weed eating, and trash and litter removal. - Operate heavy equipment such as tractors, skid steers, and mini-excavators. - Assist with facility inventory organization and provide accurate information for ordering parts and supplies. - Assist with vehicle and equipment maintenance. - Perform skilled facility repairs (carpentry, drywall installation, electrical, roof installation/repair, plumbing), skilled equipment repairs (small engine specialty service, diagnostic services/parts ordering), and provide support for trail/volunteer projects, independent project designs, and execution. - Assist with animal husbandry operations for (goats, chickens, bees, etc.) - Perform and supervise janitorial duties, including cleaning public bathrooms, bathhouses, and park facilities. Also: "Must be willing and able to attend mandatory, paid trainings when needed to comply with OSHA/State requirements." and "Must be willing to work weekends and evenings if needed." Those could be under Requirements or Responsibilities? They are requirements. We'll include under Requirements. Minimum Qualifications: - Experience performing preventative maintenance for groundskeeping, facilities, vehicles, and equipment. - Experience with trades skills such as construction, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, etc. - Experience with acting as a supervisor or in a lead worker role, as well as working as part of a crew in a team environment. Additional Considerations: - Experience with gardening and general farming practices to include implementing a crop rotation/garden plan and fence construction. - Knowledge of and familiarity with animal husbandry, various livestock, chicken flocks, goats, reptiles, and their levels of care. - Knowledge of and ability to operate tractors, commercial mowing equipment, chainsaw equipment, power tools, hand tools, etc. Special Instructions: - Background Check: Employment in all Virginia State Parks positions is contingent upon satisfactory completion of a criminal history background check. - Employment Eligibility: Selected candidates must complete the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form. DCR participates in E-Verify. - Driver’s License Requirement: A valid State Driver's License is required if operating a state or personal vehicle for agency business. - Work Requirements: Wage/seasonal positions are not eligible for benefits and are limited to 1,500 hours from May 1 to April 30. - DCR encourages applications from minorities, individuals with disabilities, veterans, and those with experience with the National Park Service or the federal government. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer (EEO/AA/TT). (EEO is boilerplate; we should remove EEO statement as per instruction to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So drop that.) Employee Benefits Include list: - Free parking and admission to all Virginia State Parks. - Overnight stay discounts for DCR classified, retired, and wage staff (after six months of service): - Free camping outside the Memorial Day to Labor Day season for sites accommodating up to six people. - Free Sunday–Thursday camping (excluding the night before holidays) during the Memorial Day–Labor Day period. - 50% off cabins (up to three bedrooms) outside the Memorial Day–Labor Day season for up to 14 nights. Two-night minimum required. Bunkhouses, camping cabins, and yurts are included; one-night yurt stays receive a 25% discount. We need to preserve that as list items maybe. We must not include "Join us and make Virginia’s great outdoors part of your life — it’s one of the many ways we show our appreciation for the people who make DCR’s mission possible!" That's fluff but maybe substantive? It's more marketing; could be considered boilerplate? It's not required info; but it's not explicitly listed as boilerplate to remove. However it's not essential; but we can keep if we want. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." This is not those. It's more promotional; we could keep but it's not necessary. Safer to keep? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; this is somewhat substantive but maybe not required. I'd keep it as part of About the role paragraph. Now craft HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's produce:About the role
