Substation Planner
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description. Sections present: - About The Opportunity (maybe "About the role"): includes description of position, location, summary. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Qualifications: includes education/experience requirements. - Preferred Qualifications: maybe part of Qualifications or separate? Could be "Qualifications" includes both required and preferred. - Benefits, Compensation & Workforce Diversity: includes benefits description. - Safety: maybe not a required heading; but we could include if content specific? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Safety section has content but not one of the listed headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Safety is not in list, so we should not create a heading for it. We could fold safety content into maybe Responsibilities or Qualifications? But we must preserve all substantive info; we could include safety content under Responsibilities or maybe under a generic
after sections? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples; but we should only use those headings if they match content. Probably we should stick to those headings only. Safety content could be placed under Responsibilities (since safety duties) or maybe under Qualifications? But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can include safety bullet under Responsibilities as it's a duty: "Demonstrate and promote a strong commitment to all aspects of safety." Already present in responsibilities list. The later Safety section is more generic about company safety values; could be omitted as boilerplate? It's not duplicated lines but it's about company safety commitment; might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Safety section might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive about safety culture. However it's not a specific duty; it's more about company policy. Might be considered boilerplate; but we could keep it as a paragraph under Responsibilities? Not sure. Also there is "Working Conditions" section: could be part of Responsibilities or maybe a separate section? Not in list; we could incorporate into Responsibilities as bullet? It describes work environment; maybe we could add a paragraph after Responsibilities. "Position Classification Non-Exempt" is metadata; could be folded into a short
or dropped. Likely drop. "FirstEnergy Human Resources Team" drop. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract substantive content: About the role / About The Opportunity: - This is an open position with Ohio Edison, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. - This is a full-time, on-site position located in Akron, OH. - Summary: The Substation Planner is responsible for providing planning, scheduling, technical support, and non-engineering services for Substation Operations and Construction. This position supports the safe, reliable, and efficient operation, maintenance, and construction of electrical substations by coordinating resources, preparing work packages, managing work schedules, maintaining records, and supporting crews, contractors, and management. The successful candidate will work closely with supervision, engineers, operations personnel, contractors, and external stakeholders to ensure work is planned and executed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with company standards and regulatory requirements. This role offers an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking to build a career in utility operations, substation planning, and project coordination while contributing to the safe and reliable delivery of electric service. We can combine into a few paragraphs. Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Demonstrate and promote a strong commitment to all aspects of safety." through "Support emergency restoration efforts, storm response activities, and other system emergencies." Also "Travel periodically to substations, construction sites, training facilities, and company locations as required." "Attend and maintain all required safety, compliance, and technical training." We need to ensure we capture all bullet points. Let's list them: - Demonstrate and promote a strong commitment to all aspects of safety. - Plan and schedule substation maintenance, construction, and capital projects to support system reliability and operational goals. - Provide reliable support to supervisors and foremen by coordinating work activities, staffing requirements, equipment, materials, switching orders, contractor resources, and work package documentation. - Assist supervision in establishing work commitment dates and expedite project deliverables when practical and necessary. - Coordinate with engineering, operations, contractors, property owners, and other stakeholders to support substation projects and maintenance activities. - Manage work queues and track project status to ensure timely completion of assigned work. - Maintain accurate records of facility additions, modifications, retirements, and updates to company mapping and asset management systems. - Assist in preparing claim documentation and supporting project closeout requirements. - Monitor work progress, track backlog, and provide management with status reports, productivity metrics, and workload forecasts. - Conduct research, evaluate alternatives, and recommend process improvements to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. - Compile technical reports and performance metrics to support compliance with company policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements. - Assist with regulatory inspection preparation, documentation, and corrective action tracking. - Support work management and scheduling applications to assign and prioritize maintenance and construction activities. - Collaborate with crews, contractors, and supervisors to review work scopes, equipment requirements, switching plans, and logistics. - Process project-related invoices, reconcile accounts, and assist with construction cost tracking. - Provide support for company asset management, outage management, scheduling, and GIS systems. - Serve as a system administrator or subject matter resource for work management and mapping applications as assigned. - Support emergency restoration efforts, storm response activities, and other system emergencies. - Travel periodically to substations, construction sites, training facilities, and company locations as required. - Attend and maintain all required safety, compliance, and technical training. That's all. Qualifications (required): - Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Engineering Technology, Electrical Technology, Construction Management, or a related discipline preferred. - In lieu of a degree, a minimum of three (3) years of relevant utility, substation, electrical construction, maintenance, planning, scheduling, or technical field experience is required. - Working knowledge of electrical substations, transmission/distribution systems, and related equipment. - Basic understanding of National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), National Electrical Code (NEC), and applicable utility standards. - Knowledge of substation construction methods, maintenance practices, and work planning processes. - Ability to interpret engineering drawings, one-line diagrams, schematics, construction prints, equipment manuals, and technical specifications. - Understanding of safe work practices and company operating procedures. - Ability to organize, analyze, and maintain technical and operational data. - Strong customer service and relationship-building skills. - Self-motivated with the ability to manage multiple priorities. - Effective verbal and written communication skills. - Experience with Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, Word, Outlook, and Teams. - Experience with SAP, GIS, CAD, work management systems, outage management systems, or similar utility applications preferred. - Valid driver's license required. - Must possess the ability to travel to company facilities and substation locations as needed. Preferred Qualifications (could be part of Qualifications but we can keep as separate bullet list under Qualifications? The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we could have a Qualifications section that includes both required and preferred. Or we could split into Requirements and Qualifications? The list includes Requirements and Qualifications as separate possible headings. The posting has "Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". We could treat "Qualifications" as required, and "Preferred Qualifications" as maybe "Skills"? But better to keep under Qualifications with subheadings? Not allowed to create extra headings besides those listed. Could embed preferred qualifications as part of Qualifications list, maybe label them as "Preferred:" but that's okay. We also have "Skills" heading possible; we could extract skills like Microsoft Office, SAP, GIS, CAD, etc. But we already have them in qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. We need to check if there is any Pay or Schedule specifics: none given. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections. Benefits: from "Benefits, Compensation & Workforce Diversity" paragraph: includes competitive pay plus incentive compensation, company-sponsored pension plan, 401(k) savings plan with matching employer contribution, choice of medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, and life insurance programs, skills development training with tuition reimbursement. Also mention workforce diversity statement (EEO) which we should remove as boilerplate. Also mention "No recruiters or agencies without a previously signed contract. Unable to sponsor or transfer H-1B visas at this time." That's also boilerplate/legal; remove. Thus Benefits section should contain the benefits description. We also have "Safety" section; we could incorporate safety commitment into Responsibilities (already there) and maybe a brief note about safety culture? But we can drop the generic safety paragraph as boilerplate. Working Conditions: could be included as a paragraph after Responsibilities maybe under a heading? Not in list; maybe we can incorporate into Responsibilities as bullet? Not exactly a duty. Could add a
after Responsibilities describing working conditions. That would preserve info. Position Classification Non-Exempt: could be a short
maybe under a generic metadata but instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. We could add a
at end: "Position Classification: Non-Exempt." But maybe drop. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:
