Substation Estimator - Michels Power, Inc.
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Why Michels Power, Inc.?" maybe that's benefits? Actually that's company description; could go under About the role? The posting includes "Why Michels Power, Inc.?" with bullet points. That is substantive content about company; could be placed under About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the Company". But only allowed headings are the listed ones. We can put that info under About the role (or maybe under Benefits? No). The "Why Michels Power, Inc.?" includes: Ranked No. 1 Electrical Transmission & Distribution Contractor by Engineering News-Record; Industry leader in substation construction and grid modernization; Family-owned company with long-term stability; Invests approximately $5,000 per employee annually in training and development; Work on high-impact infrastructure projects across the U.S.; Strong safety culture—everyone is responsible; Part of one of North America’s most diversified infrastructure contractors. That's substantive; we can include under About the role.
Also "Why You?" bullet points: You enjoy evaluating complex electrical scopes and building competitive bids; You thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment; You are detail-oriented and take pride in complete, accurate estimating work; You collaborate effectively with project teams and subcontractors; You want to contribute to infrastructure that powers communities and the grid; Join a company that powers progress. Be a part of Michels Power, Inc.—where you don’t just build projects, you build a career. That's also substantive; could be under About the role or maybe under Skills? Actually it's more about candidate fit; could be under Requirements? But we have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "Why You?" is more about personal traits; could go under Skills or Requirements? Probably Skills: list of desired personal competencies. However we also have Core Developmental Competencies list: Customer Focus, Action Oriented, Personal Accountability, Drives Results, Interpersonal Savvy, Values Differences, Communicates Effectively, Instills Trust, Demonstrates Self-Awareness, Self-Development. That's definitely Skills.
Thus we can structure:
About the role
with paragraphs summarizing role description: includes location, employment type, position objective, Michels Power description, Why Michels Power, Inc., Why You? maybe combine.
But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we need to preserve ALL substantive information. That means we need to keep the exact sentences? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should not paraphrase or summarize; we should keep the text as is, but we can format into HTML. However we need to avoid duplication. We can keep the original paragraphs but maybe break into
tags. We must not include boilerplate like EEO line at end: "AA/EOE/M/W/Vet/Disability". Also remove the privacy policy link. Also remove "Expected Salary Range $90,000—$145,000 USD" maybe that's Pay section; we need to include Pay if present. The posting includes: "This information reflects the anticipated base salary for this position based on current market data. Minimums and maximums may vary based on location. Actual pay will be adjusted based on individual’s skills, experiences, education, and other job-related factors permitted by law. Expected Salary Range $90,000—$145,000 USD". That's substantive pay info; we should include under Pay section. However the instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state salary range, so we can include Pay. Schedule: The posting mentions "Approximately 25% travel required for jobsite visits, pre-bid meetings, and preconstruction support" under Work Environment & Physical Demands. That's not exactly schedule (like shift). There's no explicit schedule (e.g., full-time, Monday-Friday). It says Employment Type: Full-Time. That's schedule? Could be considered schedule. But we have a Schedule section only if posting states schedule details like shift times, etc. It does not give specific schedule beyond full-time. Might be considered schedule info? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state Employment Type: Full-Time. That's schedule type. Could we include Schedule section with that? Might be okay. However we also have Work Environment & Physical Demands which includes travel percentage. That's not schedule. We could put travel under Work Environment? Not a permitted heading. Could fold into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to include under About the role as part of description. Benefits: The posting includes "Comprehensive Benefits Medical, Dental, and Life Insurance HSA / FSA Options Short- and Long-Term Disability 401(k) Legal & Identity Protection Plans". That's substantive benefits; we should include Benefits section. Now we need to decide sections: - About the role: includes location, employment type, position objective, company description, Why Michels Power, Inc., Why You? maybe also core competencies? But core competencies could be Skills. - Responsibilities: list of key responsibilities. - Requirements: Required Qualifications. - Qualifications: Desired Qualifications? Actually we have Required Qualifications and Desired Qualifications. Could map Required Qualifications to Requirements, Desired Qualifications to Qualifications. Or we could combine both under Requirements and Qualifications. The headings list includes both Requirements and Qualifications. So we can put Required Qualifications under
Requirements
and Desired Qualifications underQualifications
. - Skills: Core Developmental Competencies. - Benefits: as above. - Pay: salary range info. - Schedule: maybe Employment Type: Full-Time and maybe travel %? But schedule heading maybe not needed if only full-time. Could we omit Schedule? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. If we only have "Full-Time" as schedule, that's thin. Might be better to omit Schedule section and instead include employment type in About the role. Since we already have location and employment type in About the role. So we can skip Schedule. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Now we need to format lists with- . For prose use
. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no h3 for "Estimator – Substations". Good. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present. We must remove boilerplate: EEO line, privacy policy link, maybe also "https://www.michels.us/website-user-privacy-policy/". Remove. Also remove duplicated lines: I don't see duplicates. Now we need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract the text.

Expected Salary Range $90,000—$145,000 USD AA/EOE/M/W/Vet/Disability https://www.michels.us/website-user-privacy-policy/" We need to strip out the EEO line and privacy link. Now we need to structure.

Possibly also Work Environment & Physical Demands? But we could
