Transmission Utility Forester (Maintenance)
for section headings.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
Thus we will drop: "Applicants must pass a pre-employment drug test and a criminal background check. All candidates must possess a valid driver's license and have a good driving record. AMS is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer. EOE/AA : Minority/Female/ Vets/ Disabled Important Information For Applicants Asplundh Tree Expert, LLC and its family of companies are Equal Opportunity Employers. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to any legally protected characteristic.If you require reasonable accommodation during the application or hiring process, please contact our ADA Coordinator at 1-800-248-8733, ext. 3656.Employment offers are contingent upon successful completion of applicable pre-employment requirements, which include background screening, drug testing, and employment eligibility verification.Compensation determination is based on market data, job scope and individual qualifications.We offer a competitive total rewards package inclusive of health and welfare and retirement benefits, as well as paid time off and holiday pay benefits.Unsolicited resumes without an executed agency agreement become the property of the company."
Also drop "Company Overview" maybe keep as part of About the role? It's substantive about company. Could be included in "About the role" or separate "Company Overview". But we only have allowed headings list; we can use any of those headings. "About the role" is allowed. Could put company overview there.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could include description paragraph and company overview.
- Responsibilities: "What You Will Do" list.
- Requirements: "What You Need To Have" list (maybe also include physical demands? Could be part of requirements). Could also include "Working Environment" and "Physical" as part of requirements or separate but we have limited headings. Could combine into Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we need to avoid duplication. Could treat "What You Need To Have" as Requirements, and "What Would Be Amazing To Have" as Qualifications (or Skills). But we have also Skills heading allowed. Could put "Skills" for the nice-to-have.
- Benefits: "What We Offer" list.
- Pay: not specified (only "Industry competitive pay.") That's vague but it's a statement. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Industry competitive pay." That's a statement about pay, albeit vague. Should we include Pay section? It says "Industry competitive pay." That's specific enough? It's not a number but it's a statement. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Industry competitive pay." So we can include Pay section with that sentence.
- Schedule: not mentioned. No schedule info. So omit.
- Benefits: we have list.
We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". We have "Industry competitive pay." That's okay.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract.
Description paragraph: "We are currently seeking a Transmission Utility Forester (Maintenance) to support Dominion Energy in Virginia. This is a field position, and candidates must have experience with environmental compliance in relation to land clearing and linear construction projects. We are looking for an energetic professional who enjoys working outdoors and values the freedom of working independently. If you enjoy a fast-paced environment and the challenges of a rewarding profession, consider a career in environmental compliance with AMS. Some of the most important characteristics of a Transmission Utility Forester (Maintenance) is that you are open-minded and able to engage in safe, constructive interactions with the public. You are accountable for advancing a culture of safety and excellence while providing quality and value to our customers and clients."
We can put that in About the role (maybe as prose). Also include Company Overview: "ArborMetrics Solutions (AMS) is a trusted advisor and collaborative partner, providing expertise and innovative solutions for environmental and construction oversight and vegetation management. Successful professionals at AMS have come from a variety of backgrounds, including forestry, arboriculture, natural resource management, biology, landscape maintenance, horticulture, nursery management, environmental sciences, geology, agriculture, parks & recreation management, urban forestry, geography, and more. For more information visit our website www.arbormetrics.com"
We could combine.
Responsibilities list (What You Will Do): bullet points:
- Provide oversight of ROW clearing operations.
- Conduct Danger Tree assessments and supervise removals.
- Ensure safe and reliable electric service delivery to the public.
- Act as the subject matter expert regarding utility vegetation management (UVM), for clients, landowners, and other stakeholders.
- Ensure tree crews are following proper safety and arboricultural practices and procedures.
- Address customer concerns related to vegetation in and adjacent to utility easements.
- Negotiate with customers for tree removal as prescribed.
- Perform QA/QC inspections on completed vegetation management work.
- Identify vegetative threats to safe & reliable electric service and develop action plans to mitigate.
Requirements list (What You Need To Have):
- Associate or bachelor’s degree in forestry OR one(1) year direct UVM experience.
- Solid, local tree identification skills.
- Ability to read maps.
- Willingness to work alone, outdoors in various weather conditions and terrain.
- Superb written and verbal communication skills.
- Basic computer skills (Microsoft Office, smartphones).
- The ability to travel throughout the region up to 100% during the work week.
Also Physical demands and Working Environment could be included as part of Requirements or separate but we can incorporate them into Requirements as additional bullet points.
Physical: "The team member must have sufficient physical ability and mobility to work in a field environment; to walk up to 10 miles per day, stand, sit, and operate a motor vehicle for prolonged periods of time; to frequently stoop, bend, kneel, crouch, run, crawl, climb, reach, twist, grasp and make repetitive hand, arm and shoulder movement in the performance of daily duties (e.g., forcefully beat down brush); carry, push and/or pull light to heavy amounts of weight, frequently lift up to 10 lbs. and occasionally lift up to 60 lbs. (sandbags); to operate assigned equipment and vehicles; ability to verbally communicate to exchange information with public; ability to see and hear in normal range with or without correction; operate assigned field equipment, including handheld computer, range finder, fyrake, water backpack, shovel, and traffic cone."
Working Environment: "Work alone in an outdoor field environment; vehicle and foot patrol of utility power lines; remote locations as well as urban, city environment; physical demands and travel from site to site, including walking/hiking on various surfaces including flat, dry, wet, slippery, uneven, rough, steep terrain, hills, and slopes; exposure to noise, dust, grease, and all types of weather and temperature conditions; exposure to hazardous traffic conditions. Reasonable accommodation, if available, may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential job functions."
We can include these as bullet points under Requirements or maybe a separate section "Working Conditions". But we only have allowed headings; we could add a section "Requirements" and include all these bullet points.
Nice-to-have list (What Would Be Amazing To Have):
- 1-5 years prior UVM, Forestry or related outdoor experience.
- Certification as an ISA Arborist, Registered Forester, or other related certificates/licenses a plus.
- Prior experience using GIS software preferred.
- A strong desire to grow and develop your career and knowledge in the UVM industry with AMS.
- Bi-lingual speaking (English and Spanish).
We could put these under "Skills" or "Qualifications". Since we have Skills heading, we could put nice-to-have there.
Benefits list (What We Offer):
- Industry competitive pay.
- Company vehicle with fuel card for work purposes.
- Day 1 of Employment: Medical/Dental/Vision/VOYA/Paid Holidays/EAP (Full-Time Employees).
- After 3 months: 401K, life insurance, short and long-term disability, Paid Maternity Leave, Vacation Accrual.
- Paid Sick Time.
- Weekly Pay Cycle.
- Participation in Referral Bonus Program.
- Boot and clothing program (Full-Time Employees).
- Ongoing training and assistance with obtaining industry certifications.
We need to ensure we don't include placeholder text. All good.
Pay section: we could separate "Industry competitive pay." as its own
under Pay heading. But we already have that as first bullet in Benefits. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Industry competitive pay." So we could have a Pay section with that sentence. However we also have Benefits section that includes many items, including that same line. To avoid duplication, we could either keep Pay separate and not duplicate in Benefits, or keep Benefits and omit Pay. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine pay into Benefits and not create a separate Pay section. Since Benefits already includes that line, we can omit Pay section. The rule says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state them, but we already have Benefits. It's okay to have Benefits section that includes pay. We don't need a separate Pay heading. So we will not create Pay section.
Schedule: not mentioned, omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills (nice-to-have), Benefits.
We need to use
for each section heading.
Inside each section, we need to use
for prose and
- for lists.
For About the role, we have prose (description + company overview). Could be two paragraphs.
We'll output:
