Technician- Automation I (B Crew) USA
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the job description.
First, remove boilerplate: "First Solar reserves the right to offer you a role most applicable to your experience and skillset." That's maybe part of description but not a heading. We'll keep as prose maybe under About the role.
"Basic Job Functions:" heading? We'll treat as part of description.
We need to extract sections:
- About the role: maybe a brief description: "First Solar reserves the right to offer you a role most applicable to your experience and skillset. Basic Job Functions: The following is an entry level Automation Technician controls position were a successful candidate will be required to support manufacturing operations, assist with equipment implementation/startup, , PLC/HMI programing, and trouble-shooting/optimization of manufacturing processes control systems. This position directly supports a manufacturing site, the successful candidate will be assigned to a manufacturing schedule on either AM or PM crew/shift. AM shift is 6:00AM - 6:10PM. PM shift is 6:00PM - 6:10AM. This results in a rotating 36/48 hour work week schedule, which includes working every other Friday, Saturday and Sunday."
But schedule details could go under Schedule section. However we need to include Schedule only if posting actually states them. It does state schedule details. So we can create a Schedule section with that info.
Pay: "Estimated Salary Range: $26.97-$38.46 Hourly." So we can create Pay section.
Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits listed. So we should NOT create Benefits section.
Qualifications: Education/Experience section: "Education/Experience: Minimum 2 years of manufacturing equipment electrical/electronic/controls experience.Associate/Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Robotics, Industrial Controls, or Electronic Engineering (preferred)No Degree - Must have 5+ years verifiable experience in a related field, (i.e., Semiconductors, Automotive etc.)."
That's qualifications.
Skills: Required Skills/Competencies list.
Responsibilities: Essential Responsibilities: Primary Responsibilities: list.
Also there is "Key Competencies" which seems like more responsibilities/skills but could be part of Responsibilities or Skills. We'll treat as part of Responsibilities maybe.
Reporting Relationships, Travel, Physical Requirements, etc. Those could be under Requirements or maybe separate sections like "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings. We can incorporate into Responsibilities or Requirements as prose.
We must not include sections like "About the role" if we don't have content? We have some description. We'll include About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO statement.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft:
