Supervising Environmental Services Specialist (Integrated Waste Management) - ESD

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, navigation, etc). Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create sections unless posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Intro about workforce etc: maybe not needed as it's generic. Could be considered "About the department"? The posting includes "About The Department" and "About The Integrated Waste Management Division". Those could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading we can use for description of role. But we have "Position Duties" and "Position Responsibilities". We need to decide sections. We need to include sections only if there is real specific content. Potential sections: - About the role (maybe combine Position Duties and Position Responsibilities? But we have separate sections for duties and responsibilities. Could use "Responsibilities" heading for responsibilities, and maybe "Duties" not a standard heading but we could put under Responsibilities? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. Thus: - About the role: could include description of department, division, mission, etc. The posting includes "About The Department" and "About The Integrated Waste Management Division". Also intro about workforce. That seems appropriate for About the role. - Responsibilities: includes "Position Duties" bullet list and "Position Responsibilities" paragraphs. We'll combine into a

• list. - Requirements: includes Minimum Qualifications (Education, Experience, Acceptable Substitution). Also Other Requirements (full-time 40 hours, flexible workplace policy, secondary backup CART Program field supervisor, Form 700 requirement). Those could be under Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe "Other Qualifications" includes Job Competencies list. Could be under Qualifications or Skills. The instruction includes Skills heading separate. We could put Job Competencies under Skills (since they are skills/competencies). Or we could put under Qualifications. But we have both Qualifications and Skills headings allowed. We need to decide. Better: Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications (education/experience). Skills: Job Competencies (list). Benefits: The posting mentions "excellent health and pension benefits, as well as 15 paid holidays!" Also hybrid work and alternative work schedules in select roles. Also mention of flexible workplace policy (32 hours onsite, up to 8 remote). That's more about schedule/benefits. Pay: Salary range given. Schedule: maybe mention of full-time 40 hours a week, flexible workplace policy (32 hours onsite, up to 8 remote), secondary backup CART Program field supervisor requiring onsite work at 6:00 a.m. and accompanying field team through 10:00 a.m. That's schedule details. Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications (maybe not needed if we put competencies under Skills), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each has substantive content. Let's extract content. About the role: - "Our diverse and inclusive workforce of more than 7,000 employees play a key role in the success of San José, the heart of the Silicon Valley. All City of San José employees work together as one team to make San José a vibrant, innovative, and desirable place to live and work." (maybe keep) - "Visit here to learn more about our One Team Leadership Values and Expectations, including quality and excellent customer service and here to learn more about San José." (these are links; we might keep as prose but they are generic; maybe we can keep but it's not essential. Could be considered boilerplate? It's about values; maybe keep but it's not specific to role. Might be okay. - "The City of San José is an equal opportunity employer..." That's EEO boilerplate; must remove. - "The City of San José is committed to offering reasonable accommodations..." Also boilerplate; remove. - "About The Department The Environmental Services Department (ESD) is an award-wining department with a mission to deliver world-class utility services and programs to improve our health, environment and economy. The Department is a national leader in managing garbage and recycling services; watershed protection and pollution prevention; municipal drinking water and recycled water; sustainability initiatives; and the operation and infrastructure improvements of the San José-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility.

Additionally, the City offers excellent health and pension benefits, as well as 15 paid holidays!

That's substantive about department. - "About The Integrated Waste Management Division The Integrated Waste Management Division oversees San José’s solid waste programs serving approximately 331,000 Residential households, over 8,000 Commercial customers and about 140 municipal facilities." Thus About the role can combine department and division description. Responsibilities: From "Position Duties": bullet list: - Contract management and contractor performance monitoring - Data management and analysis for reports, presentations, and programmatic improvements - Regulatory compliance assistance and implementation of City’s solid waste goals - Public education and outreach - Budget management - Project management, including studies and pilot projects - Acquisition and management of grants - Provide excellent customer service - Work with regional groups and stakeholders - Staff supervision From "Position Responsibilities": paragraphs describing specifics: - Supervising Environmental Services Specialists plan, organize, and supervise the activities of assigned staff and program area within a Division of the Environmental Services Department. This classification is designated as management and supervises other professional staff, as well as manages programmatic teams by providing direction and leadership. Incumbents in this classification are responsible for the successful development, implementation, and/or ongoing supervision and overview of assigned program(s). This classification not only supervises and oversees assigned professional staff, but also performs the most complex and specialized functions in support of assigned program(s). This position requires an organized and motivated self-starter with strong collaboration, communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills, and a demonstrated track record of successfully managing multiple projects. This position, on the Solid Waste Program Performance team, will be responsible for initiating, leading and managing large, long-term strategic planning and data-oriented solutions in the areas of future residential and commercial contracts, tackling complex behavior change initiatives to reduce recycling contamination, and other special projects. This position supervises a team of seven, including three direct reports, providing strategic support across all of Integrated Waste Management’s programs. Areas of focus include the following: Collaboration with the Residential Garbage and Recycling Program to combat residential recycling contamination through new approaches, including behavior change. One current approach that this position oversees is the Contamination And Recycling Tagging (CART) Program, in which a field team provides single-family residents feedback and education to lower recycling contamination. A new initiative for the CART Program field supervisor is providing multi-family properties with information on recycling and junk pickup programs to remove barriers, help residents recycle right, and increase program participation. The position will explore other efforts that should result in reduced recycling contamination, improving the quality of recycling commodities, increasing resident awareness, and reducing the cost of processing recycling. Support the Zero Waste Innovations Grant Program through program development, grant management guidance, summarizing performance metrics, and serving as a grant manager. Assist the Division with grant applications and management. Strategize and plan upcoming residential and commercial contracts to create a smooth Request for Proposal process, taking into account new and emerging solid waste technologies and manner of provided services to customers. Assist with implementing strategies from the Zero Waste Element to the San José Climate Smart Plan to reduce solid-waste related greenhouse gas emissions. Core functions include budget planning, project management and streamlining, contract management, preparing staff documents, data analytics, utilizing best management practices, stakeholder engagement, and leading and managing professional technical staff. We can turn these into bullet list items (maybe combine). But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can keep paragraphs as

  but instruction says use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For responsibilities, we can use
    • for list items. The paragraphs contain many details; we could break them into list items. However we must not lose info. Could keep as

      for prose and also include

      • for the bullet list from Position Duties. The instruction: "Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

          for prose." So we can have a

          for prose responsibilities and a

          • for the bullet list duties. That seems fine. Requirements: - Minimum Qualifications: Education: bachelor's degree. Experience: Four (4) years of increasingly responsible experience in developing, promoting, and/or implementing environmental programs (list examples), including two (2) years of experience leading people or projects. Acceptable Substitution: master’s degree may substitute for one year of required experience. Additional years of experience may substitute for bachelor's degree year-for-year. - Other Requirements: This position is required to work full-time 40 hours a week. The City’s flexible workplace policy requires 32 hours (four days) onsite, with up to eight hours remote. May serve as the secondary backup CART Program field supervisor, requiring onsite work at 6:00 a.m. and accompanying the field team through 10:00 a.m. Form 700 requirement: disclosure of outside investments, real property interest, income, and business positions. Must complete and file an “Assuming Office Form 700” with the City Clerk’s Office within the first 30 days of employment. We should keep these as prose or list? They are not a simple list but we can use

            for prose. However instruction says use

            • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Requirements could be considered a list; we could break into bullet points: Education, Experience, Acceptable Substitution, Additional substitution, Full-time schedule, Flexible workplace policy, Secondary backup CART, Form 700. That would be a list. Let's do that. Qualifications: maybe we can treat "Other Qualifications Job Competencies" as Qualifications or Skills. Since we have Skills heading, we could put the list of competencies under Skills. Qualifications could be left empty? Better to put the competencies under Skills and maybe not have Qualifications section. But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. If we omit Qualifications, that's fine. However we might want to include Qualifications for education/experience? But we already put those under Requirements. Could also put them under Qualifications. The instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications; we can decide to put education/experience under Qualifications, and other requirements (schedule, etc) under Requirements. Let's think. Typically, Requirements = minimum qualifications (education, experience). Qualifications = preferred or additional qualifications (skills, competencies). But we have both. We can assign: - Qualifications: Education and Experience (minimum qualifications). Could also include Acceptable Substitution. - Skills: Job Competencies list. - Requirements: Other Requirements (full-time, flexible workplace, secondary backup, Form 700). Could also include maybe "Other Requirements" heading but we don't have that; we can put under Requirements. - Benefits: health and pension benefits, 15 paid holidays, hybrid work and alternative work schedules in select roles
