That's many items; some are more skill-like. But we have separate Skills section maybe for abilities like communication, leadership, etc. However the qualifications list includes many skill-like items. We could treat all as Qualifications. But the instruction says we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They differentiate Requirements vs Qualifications vs Skills. However we can decide to put the degree/experience etc as Qualifications, and the abilities like communication, leadership, etc as Skills. But the posting lumps them together under "Qualifications". However we can still split: maybe Requirements = "Professional Architectural Degree with 5-10 years of working experience. Subject matter expert in one or more sustainability areas of focus, such as Materials (including Carbon), Resilience, and/or Systems. Experience working with complex multi-phased higher education, large transit, healthcare, civic and/or commercial development projects is required. Ability to provide direction and support on projects in the pursuit of sustainability goals within the AEC industry. Minimum 5 years of experience with sustainable standards, including LEED, WELL and Passive House training, is considered an asset." That's more about experience/requirements.
Skills: proficiency in software, budget conscious, ability to graphically illustrate, synthesize data, leadership skills, etc.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide:
- Qualifications: Professional Architectural Degree with 5-10 years experience; subject matter expert in sustainability areas; experience with complex multi-phased projects; ability to provide direction/support; minimum 5 years experience with sustainable standards (LEED, WELL, Passive House) considered asset.
- Skills: Proficient in Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, Adobe Suite, MS Office; experience with Tally, EC3, LCA software; experience with DIVA, Climate Studio, LightStanza, IES, etc; budget conscious with ability to develop/manage scopes and fees; ability to graphically illustrate and verbally communicate sustainability concepts; experience synthesizing complex data sets; demonstrated leadership skills, resourceful, self-motivated, commitment to continuous improvement; thrives in project-driven dynamic environment managing multiple tasks; highly motivated taking initiative; foster culture of continuous learning; demonstrates high level of creativity; nimble and agile communicator; maintains open friendly demeanor.
That seems reasonable.
Now Benefits: list: Medical, Dental and Vision coverage with a generous employer contribution; HSA with employer contribution; 401k with employer match; 4 weeks of PTO and 10 paid holidays per year; paid parental and family leave programs.
Pay: Base Salary Range $106,000 - $124,000 annually depending on skills and experience.
