Tank Barge PIC
About the role
thenwith overview text. Responsibilities: many bullet points: Walk 2-3 miles per day, etc. Also includes step, reach, climb, lift, vision, hearing, speech, reading/writing, smell, pulmonary function, physical condition, general, mental/emotional, possible non-essential functions. Those are responsibilities/requirements? They seem like physical requirements. Could be under Responsibilities or Requirements. The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have content about responsibilities: "Walk 2-3 miles per day..." etc. Also "Ability to use firefighting/spill containment equipment communicates with dock personnel, maintain documentation, and assist in training new personnel." etc. Also "Maintenance functions - ability to assist with engine and generator room maintenance." etc.
Qualifications: "Tank Barge PIC: A Tank Barge PIC License is REQUIRED. Tank Barge PICTRAINEE: No License Required. License Requirements ...". Also "Education Requirements Must pass a company-approved test. In addition, must have successfully completed Kirby Corporation's training school for Tank Barge PIC . Benzene Regulations ...". Also "Drug Regulations ...". Also "Physical Examination ...". Also "Physical And Mental Requirements Necessary to safely undertake the essential functions of this position." That seems like qualifications.
Skills: maybe we can extract skills like communication, ability to read/write, etc. But we might not need a separate Skills section if content overlaps.
Benefits, Pay, Schedule: The posting mentions schedule: "The Tank Barge PIC normally works a rotating 6 days on, and 3 days off schedule." That's schedule content. So we can include Schedule section.
Pay: No mention of pay. So we should NOT include Pay section.
Benefits: No mention of benefits. So we should NOT include Benefits.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine physical requirements?), Qualifications, Schedule.
But we need to follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Responsibilities and Requirements? But they are distinct headings allowed. We could have Responsibilities (duties) and Requirements (qualifications). However we also have Qualifications separate (license etc). Might be overlapping.
Let's think: The posting includes:
- Overview (About the role)
- Responsibilities (list of duties: walking, stepping, reaching, climbing, lifting, etc.)
- Requirements (maybe physical and mental requirements: vision, hearing, speech, reading/writing, smell, pulmonary function, physical condition, general, mental/emotional, possible non-essential functions)
- Qualifications (license, education, benzene, drug, physical exam)
- Schedule (6 on 3 off)
We could also include Skills: maybe communication, ability to use radios, etc. But those are already in responsibilities/requirements.
Thus produce sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Schedule.
Now we need to format lists with - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can group them into appropriate sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading like "Tank Barge PIC". Already not.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting doesn't seem to have those.
We must not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So ensure each section has real content.
Now let's extract content.
Overview paragraph:
"The primary function of a Tank Barge PIC is to prepare the barges that are assigned and complete loading and discharging of oil, refined and petrochemical cargoes. The Tank Barge PIC must communicate with dock personnel and ensure that each person participating in the transfer of product understands what the product is, and how it should be transferred and protected. The Tank Barge PIC normally works a rotating 6 days on, and 3 days off schedule."
Note schedule mention appears here; but we will move schedule to its own section. However we need to avoid duplication. We could keep schedule mention in overview but then also have schedule section; but that would duplicate. Better to remove schedule sentence from overview and put it in Schedule section. However we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep schedule info only in Schedule section, not duplicate. So we will omit that sentence from overview.
Thus overview: "The primary function of a Tank Barge PIC is to prepare the barges that are assigned and complete loading and discharging of oil, refined and petrochemical cargoes. The Tank Barge PIC must communicate with dock personnel and ensure that each person participating in the transfer of product understands what the product is, and how it should be transferred and protected."
Now Responsibilities: list of duties.
From text:
"Walk 2-3 miles per day. A Kirby Corporation vessel generally has a tow that is 500 ft. in length. A Tank Barge PIC may be required to walk the tow and back in order to check the condition of the barges and the rigging to perform tankering operations. Step - 2ft vertical and 2ft horizontal . In the process of loading or discharging two barges breasted up through a crossover hose, occasions arise where slack in one or more lines causes the barges. In addition, if one barge is loading or discharging at a faster rate than the other, a vertical height differential may develop between the decks of the adjoining barges. Also, different docks, owned by individuals other than Kirby Corporation have various combinations of the barge drafts and river stages. This makes it necessary to step across, up, down, or over an obstacle in order to gain access to the dock from the barge to the boat or from the boat to the dock. Reach Must be able to extend arms fully, throughout a normal range of motion both in a horizontal and vertical plane. A Tank Barge PIC may be required to throw and catch lines. Complete range of motion is also required to perform engine room maintenance responsibilities, which includes reaching over one’s head. Climb Must be able to climb a 90-degree vertical ladder 25-30 ft. Different docks have various means in which to gain access to the barges that are docked at their facilities. This is especially true when the river is at a low stage. Lift 60-75 pounds and carry it approximately 500 ft. A barge ratchet weighs approximately 60 pounds. If the lead coupling on a tow was to break, a Tank Barge PIC may be required to carry a ratchet the length of the barges in order to repair the coupling. In addition, a Tank Barge PIC may need to help move a crossover hose that would require a lift of at least 60-75 pounds."
Also later: "Ability to use firefighting/spill containment equipment communicates with dock personnel, maintain documentation, and assist in training new personnel. Maintenance functions - ability to assist with engine and generator room maintenance. Ability to qualify for all federal and state standards and qualify for licenses and documents. Ability to perform all duties while wearing protective equipment."
Also "Mental/Emotional Living and working in close quarters. Length of time away from family. Ability to communicate in English - teach, use radio, and coordinate with dock personnel. Ability to understand written and verbal orders. Comprehension of essential information - spill containment and cleanup, MSDS and emergency action information. Video training widely used - i.e. safety meeting, Benzene training. Possible Non-Essential Functions Swimming, cooking, and washing clothes."
These could be responsibilities or requirements. We'll treat many as responsibilities (duties). However some are more like requirements (vision, hearing, etc). Let's separate.
Responsibilities (duties): walking, stepping, reaching, climbing, lifting, using firefighting/spill containment equipment, communicating with dock personnel, maintaining documentation, assisting in training new personnel, assisting with engine and generator room maintenance, performing duties while wearing protective equipment, etc.
Also maybe "Ability to qualify for all federal and state standards and qualify for licenses and documents." That's more a requirement.
We'll decide.
Requirements section: physical and mental requirements: Vision, Hearing, Speech, Reading/Writing, Smell, Pulmonary Function, Physical Condition (ability to wear PPE), General (endure harsh environment, drive to/from hub cities), Mental/Emotional (living in close quarters, time away from family, ability to communicate in English, understand orders, comprehension of essential info, video training), Possible Non-Essential Functions (Swimming, cooking, washing clothes). Also maybe "Ability to use firefighting/spill containment equipment communicates with dock personnel, maintain documentation, and assist in training new personnel." That's more duty.
We'll need to keep all details.
Qualifications section: License requirements: Tank Barge PIC License required, must possess valid merchant mariners document with Tank Barge PIC endorsement under 46 CFR 12/20 et seq., current valid driver's license. Education Requirements: Must pass a company-approved test, must have successfully completed Kirby Corporation's training school for Tank Barge PIC. Benzene Regulations: Must be able to pass certification requirements of 46 CFR Part 197 Subpart C - Benzene. Drug Regulations: Must be able to satisfy all United States Coast Guard Chemical Drug Testing Programs for Vessel Personnel as found in 46 CFR Part 16. Physical Examination: In the event Kirby Corporation extends a conditional offer of employment, the employee will be subject to a physical examination by a physician appointed by Kirby Corporation. Physical And Mental Requirements Necessary to safely undertake the essential functions of this position. (This sentence maybe redundant; but we can include.)
Schedule section: "The Tank Barge PIC normally works a rotating 6 days on, and 3 days off schedule."
Now we need to format.
We'll produce:
